Motorola Razr Flex: Ultimate Preview Guide

Motorola is looking to join the wide foldable trend soon. The company’s first wide foldable will be called the Motorola Razr Flex, it seems. We were the first to reveal that name when we revealed the phone’s specs, though at the time, it was only the name that Motorola used internally. The Motorola Razr Flex has surfaced on Motorola Australia’s website since then, along with a year attached – 2027. So it seems like that will be the phone’s final name after all.

Do note that the Motorola Razr Flex 27 also surfaced on Geekbench recently. Just to be clear, the Motorola Razr Flex won’t be the company’s first book-style foldable. It will, however, be the first wide book-style foldable. The Motorola Razr Fold, which arrived this year, has the title of the company’s first book-style foldable smartphone. Those two devices will be rather different, thus offering interesting options to consumers.

This article will be regularly updated with new information on the Motorola Razr Flex (this is a preview article) — both official teasers and credible leaks, rumors, and insider claims — as it becomes available in the run-up to the release of the upcoming Android smartphone.

When will the Motorola Razr Flex be released?

If you’re wondering when the Motorola Razr Flex will be released, well, we’re still not 100% sure, but we have a good idea. Our source told us, a while back, that Motorola planned to announce the device before the end of 2026. Nothing was set in stone back then, so it seems like it will either become official at the end of 2026 or in early 2027. Regardless, there’s a good chance it won’t be released until early 2027.

What models are coming?

While the Motorola Razr Flex could have more than one RAM and storage options, only one model was shared with us by our source. That is a 12GB RAM model with 256GB of storage. While we believe that all models will have the same amount of RAM (there could be exceptions), more than one storage variant is a possibility. All that could depend on the market the phone launches it, it remains to be seen.

What colors will it launch in?

The Motorola Razr Flex will arrive in two color variants; that much we confirmed. The phone will arrive in PANTONE Dark Botanical Garden and PANTONE Coriander colors. You can see some mockups of both of those color options in the gallery below. These are not official renders or leaks; keep that in mind. These are mockups made by us based on the information that we received.

How much will the Motorola Razr Flex cost?

The price tag of the device is still a mystery; however, several rumors have popped up. We don’t have anything too credible at the time, but the price tag could be around €1,500 for the base model of the device. So, for the model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. We’re not sure what that will translate to in the US, but the price could be around $1,700. Once again, that’s just a wild guess at this point; we don’t know anything for sure when it comes to the phone’s price tag.

What will the Motorola Razr Flex look like?

The Motorola Razr Flex’s design is not exactly a secret at this point in time, though we still don’t have official renders or real-life images to share with you. We did share the sketches of the device back in September, which was followed by Motorola’s official teaser for the phone. That teaser only showed us a silhouette of the device, though. Then we created some mockups of the Motorola Razr Flex, based on the information that we received and the sketches that we shared prior to that. So you can get a general idea of what’s coming.

Having said that, the Motorola Razr Flex will be smaller than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8. It will have a smaller main and cover display, and thus a smaller footprint. This will be a truly great phone to use with one hand when folded. The corners of the device will be rounded on all sides, while there will be a display camera hole included on both displays. The frame sides will be rounded towards the edges, so that the phone is comfortable to hold.

When it comes to the phone’s backplate, it will be flat. Motorola’s logo will sit at the centre of it, while the ‘Razr’ logo is expected to sit towards the bottom of the backplate, but we’re only guessing. Now, when it comes to the camera, a horizontal camera bar is expected in the upper portion of the backplate. That camera bar will be centered, and thus prevent wobbling. Two cameras will sit on the inside, by the way. The Motorola Razr Flex, as already mentioned, is coming in PANTONE Dark Botanical Garden and PANTONE Coriander colors. You can see the mockups and sketches below.

What specs will the Motorola Razr Flex have?

The Motorola Razr Flex will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor from Qualcomm. So it won’t utilize the last-gen hardware from the company. Still, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is a very powerful chip. The phone will also include 12GB of RAM, and at least one of its variants will offer 256GB of storage. That’s the variant we can confirm. More storage options could be available, though, as a 512GB storage option surfaced online recently. Do note that the storage will not be expandable, though.

The main display on the Motorola Razr Flex will measure 6.92 inches and offer a resolution of 1728 x 2364 pixels. The cover display will measure 4.97 inches, and it will offer a resolution of 1736 x 1140 pixels. Both of those panels will be OLED units with a high refresh rate. We can confirm that the main display will go up to 165Hz, while we believe the cover panel will too. Either way, it will go to at least 120Hz, if not 165Hz.

A 5,000mAh battery will power the phone, while both wired and wireless charging will be supported. Android 17 will come pre-installed on the device, while the phone will be IP48 and IP49 certified for water and dust resistance. Wi-Fi 7 will also be part of the package, and the same goes for Bluetooth 6.0.

A 50-megapixel main camera will sit on the back, and it will support 30x digital zoom. The second camera will be a 50-megapixel ultrawide snapper. There will not be a third camera, and thus not telephoto snapper. A 32-megapixel selfie camera will sit on both the phone’s main and cover displays.

Should you wait to buy the Motorola Razr Flex?

If you’ve been waiting for Motorola to come up with a wide foldable, you don’t really have a choice. This is the first one that is coming, and it will likely remain the only one for the foreseeable future after its launch. Other than the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and iPhone Duo, there are no other wide foldables available in the US. The Motorola Razr Flex will be kind of unique among them, as it will be notably smaller. Many of you who have been looking for this phone have probably already decided, even prior to its launch. For others, the price could play a crucial role. So let’s wait and see what the price will be, and what exactly the phone will have to offer. By the looks of it, it’s on its way to become one of the best Motorola phones out there.
