Motorola is gearing up to expand its foldable phone lineup with the upcoming Razr 60 series in 2025.
Following the success of the Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra, the new devices are expected to showcase cutting-edge technology and design. It’s likely that they will be named the Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultra, continuing the trend from previous releases.
In the US, the Ultra model will be known as the Razr+ (2025), as confirmed by Android Headlines and renowned leaker Evan Blass.
While specific details are still scarce, speculation surrounding the release date, pricing, and features offers an exciting preview of what Motorola may have in store.
When will the Motorola Razr 60 be released?
Back in August 2024, Gizmo China reported that Motorola was working on a device codenamed ‘Orion’ with the model number XT2551-3. The ‘XT25’ prefix hints at the device’s planned launch year as 2025.
Recently, the Razr 60 Ultra has advanced closer to its launch, having received certification from the BIS authority in India under the model number ‘XT2551’. While this certification doesn’t reveal much, it does confirm the device as the successor to the Razr 50 Ultra, which had the ‘XT2451’ model number.
This aligns with Motorola’s naming conventions and suggests a new generation could be on the horizon. Further confirmation of the Razr 60 Ultra name comes from the UAE’s TDRA certification documents, which clearly list the name alongside its model number.
The phone has also made an appearance on China’s TENAA certification site, indicating an imminent launch. According to Android Headlines, the Razr 60 Ultra may arrive sooner than last year’s late-June Razr 50 Ultra.
As a reference, the Razr 50 Ultra was certified for sale in India by the BIS in April last year, with the global launch following in June. If the two-month delay pattern between certification and launch continues, the Razr 60 Ultra could have been officially as early as March. However, April is now the earliest we can anticipate the phone to be launched.
How much will the Motorola Razr 60 cost?
While official pricing details are yet to be disclosed, it’s reasonable to assume that the Razr 60 phones will be priced similarly to their predecessors.
For context, the Razr 50 Ultra (Razr+ (2024) in the US) launched at £999/$999, while the regular Razr 50 (Razr (2024)) started at £799.99/$699.99.
Hopefully, Motorola will introduce new features without a significant price increase. It would also be beneficial if Motorola ensures pricing parity between the regular model in the UK and the US, as observed in 2024.
What specs and features will the Motorola Razr 60 have?
The Motorola Razr 60 series is expected to build upon the solid foundation established by its predecessors.
While specific details are yet to be unveiled, examining the Razr 50 series offers insights into what we might expect from the next generation.
Design
Official-looking renders of the Razr 60 Ultra have been shared by Android Headlines in collaboration with Evan Blass, showcasing a device reminiscent of the Razr 50 Ultra. Both sources have a strong track record in phone design leaks.
With a slightly darker shade of green, the overall design appears largely unchanged. More details can be found in our separate news story: Motorola Razr 60 Ultra image leak reveals all.
Recent leaks by Evan Blass have highlighted the phone in various colors: green, Rio Red, pink, and even a wood-like finish similar to the Edge 50 Ultra.
The general design remains consistent with last year’s model, featuring a textured vegan leather back and the same camera layout. The dimensions are expected to remain at 171.5 x 74 x 7.3mm unfolded, with a weight of 199g as per a listing on the TENAA database.
Display
The Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra boasted a stunning 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED display, and their successors are likely to continue this trend.
The Ultra model is anticipated to sport a 6.9-inch pOLED internal screen (2640 x 1080, 165Hz) and a 4-inch external OLED cover screen, matching the Razr 50 Ultra.
Conversely, the regular Razr 60, according to XpertPick, is expected to feature a slightly smaller 6.7-inch pOLED panel, reverting to a more compact foldable design.
Motorola could also enhance the external cover displays, making them more expansive and versatile for quick interactions.
For reference, while the Razr 50 had a 3.4-inch external display, the Razr 50 Ultra offered a 4-inch screen. Android Headlines suggests that the company will maintain the same specifications, at least for the Ultra variant.
Performance
Featuring the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, the Razr 50 Ultra delivered exceptional performance.
On the other hand, the regular Razr 50 was equipped with the Mediatek Dimensity 7300X, which didn’t quite match up in terms of performance.
Regarding upgrades, there is a mix of information available.
Xpertpick uncovered an entry on the Geekbench database labelled “motorola razr ultra 2025” powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and an Adreno 830 GPU.
Transitioning to Qualcomm’s latest chipset would be a surprising move, considering the step down from the regular 8 Gen 3 to the 8s Gen 3 on the Razr 50 Ultra.
If accurate, this would position the Razr 60 Ultra to compete with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which is expected to utilize the same chip.
According to Android Headlines, the Ultra variant will offer up to 12GB of RAM and start with 256GB of internal storage.
TENAA filings confirm configurations of 8GB, 12GB, 16GB, and 18GB RAM, with storage options of 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB, although these higher-end variants may be exclusive to China.
The standard Razr 60 is likely to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X, a slight upgrade from the 7300X seen in the previous model, as per XpertPick.
Cameras
The Razr 50 Ultra impressed with its 50Mp main lens, 50Mp telephoto, and 32Mp front camera, offering exceptional photography capabilities for a foldable device.
The Razr 50 swapped the 50Mp telephoto lens for a 13Mp ultrawide camera, maintaining solid photo quality.
For the Razr 60 Ultra, it appears that we can expect the same rear camera setup. However, the selfie camera is anticipated to see an enhancement, as indicated by TENAA. Anticipate improvements in sensor technology, better low-light performance, and potentially additional lenses for versatile shooting options.
Advanced AI features for photography and videography may also be included in the package.
On the other hand, the Razr 60 is projected to retain a 50Mp main and 13Mp ultrawide rear setup, along with a 32Mp selfie camera.
Battery & Charging
The Razr 50 Ultra was powered by a 4000mAh battery, offering around a day and a half of usage for most users. While initial reports suggested that the capacity wouldn’t change on its successor, recent information suggests otherwise.
The Razr 60 Ultra is rumored to feature a dual-cell battery totaling 4,275mAh, with a typical capacity of around 4,500mAh. Both tipster Anvin on X and TENAA have reported this increase, marking a 12.5% boost from the Razr 50 Ultra’s 4,000mAh battery.
Interestingly, the regular Razr 50 housed a larger 4200mAh battery that could last a full day with about 50% battery remaining. It seems that the cheaper model will once again feature a sizable capacity.
The Razr 60 is expected to come equipped with a 4,500mAh battery, with 30W wired charging likely making a return.
In the previous lineup, the Razr 50 Ultra supported 45W wired charging with a smaller battery, while the Razr 50 offered 30W wired charging. Both models featured 15W wireless charging.
However, a 3C certification mentioned by ITHome hints at a 68W charger (model MV-688N), suggesting upgraded fast charging, at least for the Ultra variant.
Software
Motorola’s near-stock Android experience has been a standout feature of its phones. The Razr 60 series is expected to debut with the latest Android 15, complemented by Motorola’s tailored enhancements for foldable functionality.
Enhanced multitasking capabilities, customizable interactions on the external display, and seamless app continuity between folded and unfolded modes are likely to be focal points.
However, the extent of Motorola’s commitment to software updates remains unclear. The three-year OS and four-year security upgrade support for the Razr 50 and 50 Ultra falls short of the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s seven-year offering for both.
