Motorola is expanding its foldable lineup with a wide-format device named the motorola razr flex – 2027, targeting competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Apple’s iPhone Duo ahead of a planned early December 2026 debut, Android Police reported.
Leaked product listings and regulatory roadmaps from Motorola’s regional websites have confirmed the nomenclature and window for the upcoming device. While official placeholder pages briefly surfaced on Motorola’s US domain before redirection, previous Australian security update schedules also listed the passport-like handset under the exact moniker.
Razr Flex Adopts a Boxy Aspect Ratio
The Razr Flex breaks from traditional tall clamshell designs to adopt a stubby, boxy aspect ratio reminiscent of current wide foldables. It measures 110 mm by 149 mm by 5.8 mm when unfolded, expanding to a thickness of 12.6 mm when folded, as Tech Times reported. Weighing in at 215 grams, it sits between lighter competitors like Samsung’s 201-gram Z Fold 8 and heavier alternatives like the 254-gram iPhone Duo.
Inner display specifications feature a 6.92-inch OLED panel operating at a resolution of 2,364 by 1,728 pixels. The adaptive refresh rate scales from 1Hz to 165Hz, outstripping the 120Hz cap found on competing book-style foldables. Externally, the cover screen spans 4.97 inches with a resolution of 1,736 by 1,140 pixels, though exact refresh rate metrics for the outer display remain unconfirmed by the manufacturer.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Powers the Device
Under the hood, the device relies on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 system-on-chip. This hardware choice places the phone one generation behind current silicon standards given Qualcomm’s subsequent chip announcements at the Snapdragon Summit. However, utilizing last-generation architecture allows Motorola to hit a more aggressive price point.
This capacity accommodates USB-PD wired charging alongside wireless charging support. Imaging hardware consists of a 50MP main wide shooter, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and dual 32MP selfie cameras positioned on both the cover and inner panels, Android Authority reported.
European Pricing Sits Below Samsung Baseline
European retail listings have priced the hardware configuration featuring 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage at €1,594.90, translating to roughly $1,780. This positions the device below the $1,900 baseline established by Samsung for the Galaxy Z Fold 8. Major markets across Europe and the US are slated to receive the rollout following the initial unveiling.
