Motorola’s next-gen flip phone, the Razr 60 Ultra (or Razr+ 2025 in the U.S.), codenamed “Orion,” is gearing up for an early launch—possibly sooner than its June 2024 predecessor. Leaks suggest this isn’t just a minor refresh; it’s doubling down on design flair and practicality. Here’s what we know so far.

A Rugged-Chic Makeover

New renders reveal a striking dark green variant with a faux leather stitched back, giving it a premium, almost vintage vibe. Glossy aluminium rails frame the device, blending durability with a touch of sophistication. Motorola’s no stranger to faux leather—last year’s Razr+ 2024 offered it in all colourways—but this iteration feels more refined, like a luxury accessory you’d want to flaunt.

Cameras: Will the Telephoto Make a Comeback?

The dual-camera setup on the main display has sparked speculation. After ditching the telephoto lens in 2024’s Razr 50 Ultra, Motorola might reverse course here. Rumour has it one lens could be a telephoto, paired with a wide-angle shooter—a move that’d put it closer to rivals like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series. No specs yet, but fans are crossing their fingers for upgraded sensors.

The Cover Display: Bigger and Smarter

Motorola’s 4-inch outer screen remains a standout feature. Unlike competitors that lock down app access, the Razr 60 Ultra reportedly lets you run any Android app on the cover display. Imagine checking Maps, replying to Slack messages, or even doomscrolling TikTok—all without flipping it open. With bezels nearly nonexistent, this could be the most functional cover screen yet.

Under the Hood: Power Meets Efficiency

Inside, leaks point to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, though it’s unclear if it’s the rumoured 7-core variant (seen in foldable like the Oppo Find N5). Paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB base storage, this should handle multitasking smoothly. The 4,000mAh battery is a welcome holdover from last year—a rarity in compact foldable. This could deliver solid endurance, especially with Motorola’s optimized software.
