Motorola’s first wide-style foldable smartphone has already been teased. But even so, that doesn’t stop the company from spilling more beans about the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and iPhone Duo rival, especially since rumors are swirling that it could debut in December 2026.
We know it will sport a square-looking, boxy aspect ratio similar to the Fold 8, but a new listing from Motorola revealed what the device may be called. And mind you, it does take a lot of cues from the current Razr offering.
Motorola’s wide Razr foldable gets an official name
The leaks recently appeared on Motorola US’s website, as spotted by 9to5Google. It confirms that the device will be called “motorola razr flex – 2027,” which doubles down on the details we saw from other support pages.
The page appears to have been redirected, as it’s no longer accessible. However, a simple Google search using the keywords motorola razr flex still shows traces of the page, though the placeholder image is for the other Razr device, not the actual Flex.
This follows an earlier leak courtesy of Motorola Australia, which showed a list of the security update roadmap for Motorola devices. One entry that caught attention was listed as “motorola razr flex – 2027.”
This could mean the passport-like foldable could break cover as the Motorola Razr Flex 2027, or just the Motorola Razr Flex. But the company might still use its usual naming strategy, such as labeling it Motorola Razr Flex 27 in the US, similar to the Motorola Signature 27.
Features of Motorola Razr Flex 2027
In a separate chatter, the Razr Flex is reportedly going official in early December in major markets, including in Europe. The release could follow a couple of weeks after the launch. It’s unclear if this will also be a global unveiling.
Beyond the moniker and squarish design, the Motorola Razr Flex could sport a near-5-inch cover display (4.97 inches, to be exact) and a 6.92-inch inner screen when unfolded. That would put it on the lower end of the spectrum compared to the Z Fold 8 in terms of screen estate.
Either way, some users would prefer a more compact, boxy foldable that isn’t unwieldy or bulky in the hands.
Additionally, its cameras are believed to be headlined by a 50MP main wide shooter, 50MP ultrawide, and 32MP selfie cameras — one on the cover display and one on the inner display.
Internally, it is powered by last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC rather than the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. But there’s a logical reason for that, and it comes down to pricing.
The Razr Flex may be priced lower than the Razr Fold, with a Portuguese retailer listing it for €1,594.90 ($1,780). However, pricing could well be much lower in the US and other markets. And it could undercut the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which costs $1,900.
