Motorola's wide foldable phone has a name: the Razr Flex. It appeared on Motorola's US website as "motorola razr flex - 2027" before the page was pulled. Motorola has not confirmed anything, so the details below come from leaks and listings.

What the leaks say

The phone is expected to have a squarer, boxier shape, similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. The outer screen is reportedly 4.97 inches. Unfolded, the inner screen is reportedly 6.92 inches. That is smaller than the Fold 8, which may suit people who want a foldable that is easier to hold.

  • Cameras: a 50MP main, a 50MP ultrawide, and 32MP selfie cameras on both screens.
  • Chip: last year's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, not the newer Gen 6.
  • Likely reason for the older chip: keeping the price down.

Price and timing

A Portuguese store listed the phone at €1,594.90, about $1,780. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 costs $1,900. US pricing could be much lower than the European listing, though no US price has been shown. Rumors say a launch in early December in major markets, including Europe, with sales a couple of weeks later.

What is not known yet

The final name is still open. It could be Razr Flex, Razr Flex 2027, or Razr Flex 27 in the US. It is also unclear whether the launch will be global. For anyone eyeing a foldable, the launch may be worth waiting for before buying.

The takeaway

The Razr Flex looks like a smaller, cheaper rival to Samsung's Fold 8, but nothing is official until Motorola announces it, possibly in early December.
