New Delhi, November 11: Motorola is preparing to launch its new foldable phone, the Motorola Razr Flex, to compete with Apple’s first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo. Information from the company’s Australian support website suggests a timeline for its launch. It is now believed that this phone may hit the market in 2027 instead of 2026.
A page for the Motorola Razr Flex 2027 appeared on Motorola’s Australian support website, indicating that the company is gearing up for a launch next year. Earlier reports had claimed that the phone could be introduced by mid-December 2026. However, the company has not yet officially confirmed the launch date.
Design Will Be a Highlight
The standout feature of the Motorola Razr Flex could be its design. Reports suggest that it will come with a smaller and wider design, distinct from the current book-style foldable smartphones. Its form factor may resemble that of Apple’s iPhone Duo and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8. Motorola released a teaser video on September 9, the same day Apple unveiled its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo. The teaser showcased a glimpse of a new type of foldable phone.
Potential Specifications of the Device
According to leaks, the Motorola Razr Flex may feature a 6.92-inch inner OLED display with a refresh rate of 165Hz. Additionally, it might have a 4.97-inch cover display. For photography, it is expected to come with two 50-megapixel rear cameras. However, the company has not yet shared details regarding the camera setup.
For performance, the phone may be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, along with 12GB of RAM and a 5,000mAh battery. It is anticipated to run on Android 17. If these features hold true, the Motorola Razr Flex could become a strong contender in the premium foldable smartphone segment.
Expected Pricing
Regarding pricing, a listing from a European retailer indicated that the variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage could be priced at €1,510.90 (approximately ₹1.60 lakh). However, since the retailer’s listing contained incorrect information about the phone’s design, this price should not be considered final at this time.
