Some fresh design sketches floating around (shared by Android Headlines) suggest Motorola is working on a wider book-style foldable, something that would sit alongside its flip phones and taller foldables.
The sketches show three different folding ideas: a big book-style foldable, a more compact clamshell, and this new wider version. The wide one is the most interesting part. It has a horizontal camera bar running across the back, centered near the top. That layout seems designed to stop the phone from rocking or wobbling when you set it down on a table, a common annoyance with most bar flagships and foldables launched in recent years.
Looking at the camera area, there are three openings. At least two are cameras, and the smaller third one could be a flash or some extra sensors. There’s also a front-facing camera in the upper-right corner of the inner screen (when you’re holding it in landscape), plus another one centered at the top of the outer cover display.
A few other details stand out. Motorola might be going for an “easy-open” design with gently contoured edges so it’s easier to unfold with one hand. There’s also talk of a crease-free (or at least less noticeable crease) screen and 3D glass. The materials also mention an ultra-slim body, so thinness seems to be a priority.
The source suggests this phone could show up in the coming months, but there’s still no official name, hard specs, or confirmed launch window. This comes at a time when the wider “passport-style” foldable format is starting to pick up steam, with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Xiaomi’s upcoming 18 Fold. Motorola already has the Razr Fold in a taller book-style shape, so a wider option would give them a fuller foldable lineup.
