Upcoming Motorola Razr 50s could be one of the cheapest foldables to date

 

Earlier this year, Motorola announced their new lineup of Razr foldable phones. Unlike Samsung's foldables, Motorola's foldables are actually relatively affordable. But it looks like the company could have an even cheaper model in the works in the form of the Motorola Razr 50s.

 

According to a post on X by OnLeaks, the specs and renders of the upcoming phone have been leaked. Assuming it's accurate, we're looking at a handset powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300X. This means that it is by no means a powerful handset. It will also reportedly come with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

 

We're also looking at a 6.9-inch foldable display and a 3.6-inch cover screen. The Razr 50s is also rumored to pack a 4,200mAh battery and will also be IPX8 rated. The post claims that the phone will be announced on the 27th of September, so it's only a few more days until we get all the official details.

 

Like we said, the use of the Dimensity 7300X means that the Razr 50s won't be a particularly powerful phone. However, it should be pretty affordable and be appealing to those who like the foldable form factor but don't want to pay a premium for it.


Motorola partners with Google to bring Gemini to the 2024 Razr lineup

 

Motorola recently introduced its new foldable smartphone, the Razr 2024, which is not one of the cheapest on the market, but also one of the most AI-oriented. A bunch of AI tools are included with the new Motorola Razr 2024, especially related to the camera.

 

We've already reported about some of these AI features that are meant to streamlines the whole process of taking a picture and editing it to your heart's desire: AI Auto Smile Capture, Gesture Capture, Google Photos Auto Enhance, and Face Beauty. But that's not all that Motorola's new 2024 Razr family brings in terms of AI. The US-based handset maker announced it has teamed up with Google to add Gemini to the 2024 Razr series.

 

What this means is that for the first time, Razr users will be able to access Gemini directly from the external display. Motorola announced that to make the external display experience even more interesting, it has added access to Google Photos, allowing users to view, delete, favorite, or share photos or videos stored locally in the cloud without having to open their phones.

 

Besides Google Photos access, Motorola also plans to add a new feature called Ask Photos in the coming months, which is a new way to search photos with Gemini. On top of that, Motorola announced that Razr users will receive Gemini Advanced for 3 months with access to Google's AI models, at no extra cost.

 

But wait, there's more! Razr users will get 2TB of cloud storage and Gemini in their favorite Google apps like Gmail, Docs, and more. All this is included in the Google One AI Premium plan. The partnership between Google and Motorola will also provide users with access to Moto AI features enabled by Google Cloud, including Moto Magic Canvas and Style Sync.


Motorola Razr 50 series could launch in July

 

The Motorola Razr 50 series will be the latest lineup of foldable phones for the company. We've been treated to a bunch of leaks and rumors, but a launch date for the Razr 50 series has yet to be confirmed. Now thanks to a report from Smartprix, it seems that the new phones could debut as soon as this July.

 

According to the report, the Motorola Razr 50 series could launch this July. If that is true, it would be roughly a month later than the Razr 40 series which debuted in June 2023. There are two phones that are rumored to make their debut. This includes the Razr 50 and the Razr 50 Ultra.

 

Both phones will adopt the same clamshell design. The main difference lies in their display and chipset of choice. The base Razr 50 model is rumored to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X 5G chipset and will sport a 6.9-inch foldable display and a 3.63-inch cover display.

 

As for the Razr 50 Ultra, it will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 for its chipset. Its foldable display will be the same at 6.9-inches, but its cover screen is rumored to be larger coming in at 4-inches. If the July launch date is true, then we won't have to wait too long for the official details.


Motorola Razr 50 Ultra could have some insane charging speeds

 

The battery tech on our smartphones hasn't really improved that. Instead of longer-lasting batteries, we got phones that can charge faster. We suppose that's a decent alternative. If the charging speeds of the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra were a little disappointing, then maybe the Razr 50 Ultra could make up for it.

 

According to a report from MySmartPrice, they have discovered the 3C certification for the upcoming Motorola Razr 50 Ultra. From the listing, it has been revealed that the handset will support 68W charging speeds. For context, this makes the Razr 50 Ultra the fastest charging clamshell foldable smartphone in the market to date.

 

It beats out the Xiaomi Mix Flip which has charging speeds of 67W. It also more than doubles what the Razr 40 Ultra offered, which was 30W. The report also claims that the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra could come with a 4,000mAh battery. This is slightly larger by around 200mAh compared to its predecessor.

 

So, combine the larger battery with faster charging speeds and the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra sounds like a winner. A photo of the handset was leaked just recently, but it seems that Motorola isn't making any obvious design changes. Instead, the upgrades we expect will be mostly under the hood.


Motorola readying a Moto G84 5G sequel, key specs leaked

 

Motorola plans to launch another affordable smartphone in Europe, the Moto G85. The sequel to last year's Moto G84 5G comes with a few improvements over the current model, although the phone might end up being a lot more powerful than the latest leak suggests.

 

Recently spotted on Geekbench (MySmartPrice), the Moto G85 is powered by a Qualcomm chipset that hasn't been announced yet. According to the benchmark, the chipset features an octa-core processor with codename Malmo, which accommodates two performance cores clocked at 2.3GHz and six efficiency cores clocked at 2GHz.

 

On top of that, the chipset includes an Adreno 619 GPU (graphics processing unit). Rumor has it that this might be Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4 Gen 3 processor, but since it wasn't launched yet, it's hard to compare it with any of the previous chipsets when it comes to performance.

 

Despite that, it's safe to assume that the Snapdragon 4 Gen 3 will offer some improvement over the current chipsets. The new processor is paired with 8GB RAM, but that's likely to be just one of the variants based on the amount of memory.

 

The Moto G85 was previously spotted on a European retailer's website and the listing revealed that phone has 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage, so Motorola will launch at least two different models. More importantly, the improved version was listed in Europe for €300, so the 8GB variant will cost a lot less (hopefully).
