Motorola has been flirting with foldable phones for some time, but its next move points to a different format than its clamshell Razr. Several leaks suggest the Motorola Razr Flex is on the horizon , a device with a large internal screen and a landscape design that would aim to compete with offerings like the iPhone Duo. The brand hasn't officially unveiled the product yet, so everything surrounding this phone should be taken with a grain of salt.
The information released so far paints a picture of a device that aims to strike a balance between compactness and productivity. When closed, it would be a manageable size, while when opened, it would offer a usable surface area closer to that of a small tablet. There is no official price or release date for Spain or the rest of Europe , but leaks suggest an arrival by the end of the year and Android 17 as its operating system.
A wide-format foldable called Razr Flex
The name most frequently mentioned is Motorola Razr Flex , a name that fits within the Razr family, although in this case the approach would differ from clamshell models. Unlike those vertical designs, this phone would feature a body that unfolds horizontally, with a wider aspect ratio designed to make better use of the screen. This concept already appears in other foldable phones of a similar format, such as the aforementioned iPhone Duo, and Motorola wouldn't want to be left behind in a segment that is gaining increasing prominence.
The same leaks indicate that the device is in the testing or preparation phase, with no confirmed technical specifications from the company. The price and specific markets where it will be sold have not been officially announced , so any information regarding its availability in Spain should be considered preliminary. What is consistent in the reports is that Motorola wants to expand its foldable product line beyond the classic Razr and compete with Apple and Samsung.
Indoor and outdoor display: the figures that are repeated
One of the most leaked aspects is the display. The main screen would be a 6,92-inch foldable OLED panel with a resolution of 2.364 x 1.728 pixels and a 165Hz refresh rate. This combination would place it in the realm of high-end phones, offering a smooth image and a compact size for this type of format.
On the exterior, Motorola has reportedly opted for a second 4,97-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1.140 x 1.736 pixels. This would allow users to check notifications, reply to messages, or use quick apps without opening the phone. Sources agree that the design aims for a balance between quick use when closed and a more complete experience when unfolded.
Design, weight and strength
As for the dimensions, leaked data indicates 110 x 149 x 5,8 mm when the phone is open, and 110 x 76 x 12,6 mm when closed. The weight is estimated at around 215 grams , which isn't particularly light, but is within the typical range for foldable phones with large screens. Motorola has reportedly worked to make the device thin when unfolded and as compact as possible when folded.
Durability also appears in the leaks. IP48 and IP49 certifications for dust and water resistance are mentioned, although it's unclear exactly how these will be applied in the final specifications. The fingerprint reader would be integrated into the side power button, a solution that allows unlocking the phone without adding an extra sensor to the screen. Regarding colors, two Pantone options are rumored: Coriander and Dark Botanical Garden.
Performance and photography
The Razr Flex would be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 , a high-end processor paired with 12GB of RAM. Storage capacity would be limited to 256GB , with no other variants mentioned in the leaks. Based on this setup, the phone should handle demanding tasks, games, and multitasking with ease, though we'll have to wait for real-world testing to confirm this.
In terms of photography, the rumored rear camera features two 50MP sensors : a main sensor and an ultra-wide-angle sensor. For selfies and video calls, Motorola is expected to include two 32MP cameras , one on each screen, allowing for use with the phone open or closed. This configuration, on paper, doesn't compromise on either viewing position.
Battery, software and possible arrival
Battery life would be provided by a 5.000 mAh battery , with 25W charging according to leaks. What is confirmed is that the device will ship with Android 17 pre-installed, placing it on the latest version of Google's ecosystem.
The most likely launch date is mid-December , although Motorola hasn't confirmed an official presentation. There's also no word on pricing or availability for Spain or Europe. If the predictions hold true, the Razr Flex would become a viable alternative in the foldable market, with a different approach than the original Razr and the potential to compete with Apple and Samsung.
The Motorola Razr Flex is shaping up to be a widescreen foldable phone, featuring 6,92-inch and 4,97-inch OLED displays, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and 50MP rear cameras. A 5.000mAh battery, IP48/IP49 water and dust resistance, Pantone colors, and Android 17 complete this leaked information, which has yet to be officially confirmed. The price and its actual availability in Spain remain to be seen , but all indications point to it arriving by the end of the year as another competitor to the iPhone Duo and other foldable phones of a similar size.
