It feels like a lifetime ago now that Motorola rebooted the Razr as a foldable device,"eroticizing rape" "anime" reimagining the classic flip-phone for the modern era.
Motorola has been iterating on the foldable Razr concept since its inauspicious 2020 debut, eventually settling on something popular enough to warrant annual updates. Now, the next generation of Razr foldable smartphones is almost upon us, with a launch date set for next week. Here's everything we know about the new Razr and Razr Plus, including the latest leaks and when and where you'll be able to get one.

Fortunately, we needn't rely on leaks for this part. Motorola itself has teased the launch of its next foldable on social media, confirming a launch date of April 24. Based on the short video in the post, it seems like Motorola is gearing up to announce both a new Razr and a new regular-style Edge phone. However, the foldables seem to be the point of emphasis here; you can see three Razr phones in different colors in the video. That doesn't necessarily mean there will be three new models of Razr, though, as Motorola has been rolling with a default model and an upgraded "Plus" (or "Ultra" internationally) model for the past couple of years.
Specs
While precedent suggests there will be a base Razr 2025 model, all of the spec leaks so far have concerned the Razr Plus 2025 model (or Razr+, if you prefer). 91mobiles, with the help of leaker OnLeaks, got the scoop on the phone's specs, which are reportedly as follows:
7-inch internal 1440p AMOLED display with 165Hz refresh rate
4-inch pOLED cover display with a 165Hz refresh rate
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor
16GB RAM
512GB storage
50MP wide and ultra-wide rear camera lenses
50MP selfie cam
4,700mAh battery
Some of those specs are big upgrades over last year's Razr Plus model. The Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset would potentially provide a big boost in power, while the battery is substantially larger than the 4,000mAh cell found in the Razr Plus 2024. The 50MP selfie cam would be an upgrade over last year's 32MP lens, while 68W fast charging would be a boon to anyone who needs to juice up real quick.
Unfortunately, info on the supposed entry-level Razr 2025 model is harder to come by. But at the very least, the Plus model seems to offer a pretty big upgrade over its predecessor.
Price
This is obviously not set in stone until Motorola tells us the official price next week. That said, 91mobiles spotted some prices from European retailers online that could give us an idea of what to expect.
The answer is...not pretty. The European version of the premium Razr is expected to cost around €1,346, which is almost $1,500 USD. (The 2024 version is priced at $1,199.99.) That's also before potential tariff price increases come into play, though it's impossible to say what tariffs will even look like a week from now. For now, you can buy the previous generation Motorola Razr (2024) starting at $699.99.
Regardless, the new Razr Plus phone looks to be a big step up from the one before it. Hopefully, it doesn't make weird, disconcerting noises like that first 2020 model did for us.
