Mere hours after we first heard that Motorola is working on its debut book-style foldable, reportedly called the Razr Fold, a fresh leak has given us a much clearer look. A set of what appear to be official press renders has surfaced online, courtesy of none other than Evan Blass, better known as @evleaks.
From these images, it’s evident that the Razr Fold borrows heavily from the design language of Motorola’s upcoming Signature flagship. The overall aesthetic is very similar, but this time, Motorola has added a hinge mechanism, an internal foldable screen, and an outer cover display. The phone is also shown with stylus support, matching the Signature’s rumoured feature set.
Motorola seems to be preparing at least two colour options for the Razr Fold. One is a darker, black-like shade, while the other looks closer to white. Given Motorola’s recent history, we can probably expect each of these to ship with some elegant-sounding Pantone-backed marketing names. One notable design choice is the placement of the hole-punch selfie camera, which sits in the corner of the internal folding display rather than at the centre.
The Razr Fold is expected to launch sometime later this year. The date shown on the screen of the leaked renders is April 23, which may or may not be a hint at Motorola’s planned announcement window.
According to a leaked internal presentation from earlier today, Motorola is talking up the Razr Fold in no uncertain terms. The device is said to offer “brilliant displays, intelligent AI, and an advanced, boundary-breaking camera system, setting a new standard for what’s possible in a foldable device.” Those are bold claims, and it remains to be seen whether the final product can genuinely live up to this marketing language.
