Motorola is gearing up to refresh its iconic flip phone lineup with the Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultra. With numerous certifications and leaks surfacing, it’s becoming clear that the company is doubling down on premium specs, refined design, and thoughtful features for its next-gen foldables. Here’s everything we know so far about the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra and what you can expect when it finally launches.
Refined, Familiar Design
Motorola isn’t reinventing the wheel when it comes to the design of the Razr 60 Ultra. Leaked renders and certification images show a device that holds onto the clamshell aesthetic of its predecessor, the Razr 50 Ultra. The foldable will feature a large 6.96-inch OLED inner display with a high 165Hz refresh rate and a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. The cover display, measuring 4 inches with a resolution of 1080 x 1272 pixels, continues to stretch around the dual rear cameras, creating a seamless visual experience.
Interestingly, Motorola appears to be playing with textures and finishes this year. Leaks from Evan Blass suggest the phone could ship in a wood finish, reminiscent of the beloved Moto X Pure from 2015. Other colors reportedly include dark green, bold Rio Red, and possibly a leather finish for the lower half of the rear panel.
Powerful Internals Under the Hood
Talking about performance, the Razr 60 Ultra is expected to pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a step up from last year’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. The phone will come with RAM options ranging from 8GB all the way to a whopping 18GB, alongside storage configurations up to 2TB, though not all options will be available at launch.
Another standout upgrade is the battery. The Razr 60 Ultra will reportedly house a dual-cell battery with a combined rated capacity of 4,275mAh and a typical capacity around 4,500mAh. This marks a significant improvement over the 4,000mAh battery on the Razr 50 Ultra. The device has also been spotted with support for 68W fast wired charging and wireless charging, a notable jump from the previous 45W charging speeds.
Cameras Get a Boost
On the camera front, Motorola seems to be stepping things up. Expect a 50MP front camera, a clear upgrade from the 32MP sensor on the Razr 50 Ultra, designed for high-quality selfies and crisp video calls. On the back, the dual-camera setup will feature two 50MP sensors, with enhancements likely aimed at improving low-light performance and color accuracy.
Software and Features
The Razr 60 Ultra is expected to ship with Android 15 out of the box, offering a near-stock Android experience. Motorola is also expected to retain its clever cover display features, such as pinning apps for quick access and using the external display as a selfie preview window. Small design tweaks, like a larger bottom speaker grille replacing the dual-grille setup, are expected to improve audio output.
Stronger Entry-Level Model
The vanilla Razr 60 will also see some upgrades, though not as flashy as the Ultra model. It’s expected to use a MediaTek Dimensity 7400X chipset with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The foldable will sport a slightly smaller 6.7-inch inner display but will gain an IP48 rating and wet touch functionality, making it more durable and user-friendly.
Launch Timeline and Pricing
Motorola traditionally unveils its foldables around June, but given the volume of leaks, an earlier launch possibly in April is on the cards. Pricing details are still under wraps, but with the Razr 50 Ultra debuting at $1,000 in the US, we can expect Motorola to aim for a similar price bracket for the Razr 60 Ultra.
As Motorola fine-tunes its foldable lineup, the Razr 60 Ultra looks like it’s shaping up to be a thoughtful evolution of the series, balancing design nostalgia, performance upgrades, and battery improvements. Stay tuned as more details emerge in the coming weeks.
