After Motorola released a teaser video a few weeks ago, it seems highly likely that the company is about to unveil a new flagship flip phone. Rumors surrounding the Motorola Razr Plus 2025 have intensified, so we will outline the most significant rumored enhancements we might expect from this top contender in the foldable phone market.
It’s important to clarify what we might see at the announcement on April 24, as there is quite a bit of confusion regarding Motorola’s naming system. The Motorola Razr Plus 2025 and Motorola Razr 60 Ultra are basically the same device, with the former expected to be the name used for the U.S. release and the latter for the international version. This will be the phone we will concentrate on in this discussion.
However, we are also anticipating the official unveiling of the Motorola Razr 2025, which would be known as the Motorola Razr 60 in other regions. Lastly, there’s also the Motorola Edge 60, which seems to be the brand’s next flagship non-foldable device.
Among all the rumored devices that might be introduced later this week, the Motorola Razr Plus 2025 is expected to be the most intriguing due to its premium specifications, significant upgrades, and stylish foldable design. Here’s a summary of the leading rumors regarding this year’s Razr Plus model.
Larger 7-inch main display
Specifications for the Motorola Razr Plus 2025 were leaked last month, indicating that the foldable phone would feature a 6.96-inch OLED main display. However, the latest leak suggests it will actually have a 7-inch display.
Despite the minimal difference between the two leaks — it might just be a rounding issue — the Razr Plus 2025 is likely to have a larger screen than the 6.9-inch panel found in the Razr Plus 2024.
Flagship-caliber processor
This is likely the most significant enhancement the Motorola Razr Plus 2025 may receive, allowing the company’s flip phone to compete with some of the best devices available today.
The existing Razr Plus 2024 is equipped with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, a less powerful variant of the Qualcomm chip present in other leading Android devices released last year. In contrast, the Razr Plus 2025 could upgrade to the Snapdragon 8 Elite, a top-tier chip used in phones like the Galaxy S25 Ultra and OnePlus 13.
As a result, we should anticipate a substantial performance boost for the Razr Plus 2025 compared to its predecessor. Additionally, we might see improved optimizations in AI features and enhanced battery longevity thanks to the new chipset.
Upgraded 50MP cameras
Some critics believed that Motorola made a questionable decision with the camera setup on the Razr Plus 2024 by opting for a dual-camera configuration that included a 50MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto camera providing 2x optical zoom. This change eliminated the ultrawide camera from the previous model in favor of the zoom lens.
It now seems that we are likely to return to a 50MP main and 50MP ultrawide arrangement for the Motorola Razr Plus 2025. This change would make the new phone more suitable for vlogging due to the ultrawide camera, leading us to suspect that Motorola intends to implement newer image processing algorithms and AI to enhance zoom capabilities on this new device. Furthermore, the selfie camera is rumored to be upgraded to a 50MP sensor, compared to the 32MP on the current model.
Bigger battery
Another significant upgrade that could make this year’s Razr Plus more impactful is a larger 4,700 mAh battery, according to recent leaks. This upgrade would represent a considerable increase from the current 4,000 mAh battery found in the Razr Plus 2024, which achieved the longest battery life in a flip-style phone that we’ve ever tested — an impressive 14 hours and 13 minutes on Tom’s Guide’s battery duration benchmark.
Considering that the Razr Plus 2025 may include a larger 4,700 mAh battery, along with the power optimizations offered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the new device could potentially last even longer between charges — a crucial factor where foldables often lag behind traditional smartphones.
Enhanced charging capabilities
In addition to possibly improved battery longevity, the Razr Plus 2025 may also witness advancements in charging speeds. Leaks suggest that it could support 68W wired and 30W wireless charging, which would represent significant upgrades from the current Razr Plus 2024’s 45W wired and 15W wireless charging capabilities. This would be advantageous for users who require a rapid charge.
New wood finish option
In terms of aesthetics, it’s refreshing to see Motorola prioritizing variety in color selections. According to the teaser video released by Motorola, the Razr Plus 2025 could come in vibrant hot pink, a deep shade of cyan (or green), and a walnut-like wooden finish.
The wood finish is briefly showcased in the promotional video, and it would be a welcome addition. This material may also endure better over time with wireless charging, as the soft-touch finish of the pink Razr Plus 2024 has shown signs of fading.
Double the starting storage
Lastly, the base storage for the Motorola Razr Plus 2025 may see an upgrade to 512GB. This would be a generous increase, given that the current version starts with 256GB.
Additional leaks suggest more storage choices may be available, including options of 1TB and 2TB. This could reduce the need for reliance on cloud storage.
With these improvements, the only lingering uncertainty is regarding the pricing of the Razr Plus 2025/Razr 60 Ultra. Leaked retail listings from Europe indicate a higher cost than the 2024 model, though it’s unclear if this would equate to a price increase for the U.S. version, currently listed at $999.
There have been some speculations about the phone’s pricing in Europe, implying it will be priced higher than the previous model. A retailer (via 91Mobiles) has reportedly shown the device’s price in Europe (where it will be branded as the Razr 60 Ultra), indicating €1,346.90, which is considerably higher than the €1,200 price tag of the Razr 50 Ultra.
This price pertains to a 12+512GB configuration, identical to what is offered for the Razr 50 Ultra. Comparatively, the Razr Plus 2024 is more affordable in the U.S. and comes with 256GB of storage, which Motorola could replicate for the Razr Plus 2025. Thus, it might still be less expensive than the European version even with a potential price increase.
According to early reports from Android Headlines, the device will have a design closely resembling last year’s Razr Plus. In fact, it appears nearly indistinguishable from its predecessor, featuring a more rounded frame for user comfort, contrasting sharply with the Galaxy Z Flip series, its main competitor.
Furthermore, it seems Motorola will overlook glass backing, which has been a typical design element in recent Motorola devices.
Some of this design is hinted at in Motorola’s Save the Date teaser, which features similar-looking devices, including at least one version in red.
An early leaked image from Evan Blass displays an alleged Rio Red color option for the Razr Plus 2025, codenamed Orion. More recent leaks indicate that the device may be available in all Pantone colors, with one model featuring a wooden finish. This marks a shift from earlier Razr models, which typically showcased one or two Pantone colors without wood.
Recent speculation informs us that the Razr Plus 2025 may utilize the fully-featured Snapdragon 8 Elite, signifying Motorola’s first inclusion of a cutting-edge chipset in the Razr line. Benchmark tests suggest that it will likely have all eight cores, which should enhance performance, efficiency, and on-device AI functionality.
Additionally, the phone is expected to feature 12GB of RAM, standard for flagship devices at this point, so that comes as no surprise. However, other rumors hint at the possibility of 16GB of RAM, which would be an enhancement compared to its predecessor. This, combined with the expected 512GB (or up to 1TB) storage, although it remains uncertain if this configuration will be available in all regions.
Moto AI is anticipated to be a key feature in this phone, along with access to Google AI functionalities like Gemini. Motorola’s AI suite is presently in beta, which includes features such as notification summaries, recording transcripts, information recall, and more. By the time the Razr Plus 2025 is launched, these features will likely transition out of beta and become standard components.
This also encompasses Motorola’s Large Action Model (LAM). Though still in closed beta, it enables the AI to execute tasks on behalf of the user, such as ordering coffee or requesting an Uber to a specific location, simply by receiving a single prompt. The AI analyzes the screen and can act based on its understanding of user preferences.
Motorola has showcased this capability in demonstrations, though it is still a concept and has not confirmed whether or when it will be implemented on its phones.
