Italian retailer Deal N Tech has leaked new information about the upcoming Motorola Razr 50 Ultra foldable phone — including color and storage options, as well as pricing details in Europe. The phone, a successor to the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra/Motorola Razr Plus, has no release date yet, but is expected very soon.

According to the report by Deal N Tech, the new phone will be priced at 1,200 euros (approximately $1,292) in Europe for a 512GB storage variant with 12GB of RAM. It is worth noting that the previous model was launched in 2023 at the same price, but it had a 256GB storage capacity and 8GB of RAM. A previous rumor also noted that the new phone would be available with 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.

The upcoming phone will resemble its predecessor and come in three colors: Pantone-certified Peach Fuzz, Blue, and Green. We previously saw the same Peach Fuzz color on the recent Motorola Edge 50 Ultra.

It is speculated that the next Razr Ultra will come with a 3.6-inch cover display and be powered by either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 processor. Although these chips are not Qualcomm’s latest top-tier silicon, they should still be capable of handling day-to-day phone activities. As for the main display, it is currently unknown whether it will remain the same as on the Razr 40 Ultra, which has a diagonal measurement of 6.9 inches.

If the Razr 50 Ultra is anything like its predecessor, it should find great success. Digital Trends editors hailed the Razr 40 Ultra as a reliably good foldable phone.

The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra launch could be imminent, at least in Europe. Recently, 91Mobiles leaked what the outlet claimed to be “live images” of the handset following its appearance in a regulatory database.

5 phones you should buy instead of the Google Pixel 8a

The Google Pixel 8a's screen.

Everyone loves a bargain, and it's hard to argue that the Google Pixel 8a is anything but. With a flagship processor and one of the best phone cameras around, the $499 smartphone has the specs to make it a steal. But Google hasn't just crammed great hardware into the phone, as it also has one of the cleanest implementations of Android 14, all of Google's current AI roster, and an incredible seven years of software updates to boot. It's a cheap phone that can go the distance, and one we are more than happy to recommend.

But it's not perfect. The battery is a little weak, as is its charging ability — and the less said about the cheap-feeling plastic body, the better. So even though it's a strong phone, there are a number of alternatives that could pull your eyes away from Google's latest midrange phone.

This giant Galaxy Z Fold 6 leak just spoiled everything

We can’t go a day without a new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 leak. And today, there’s a significant one that may just cover the entire spec sheet for the upcoming device. And if this spec sheet is correct, some previous rumors might not be accurate. The specs come from Smartprix, which typically is correct on these matters.

The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 is rumored to have a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner display with a 2160 x 1856 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will also feature a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X outer display with a resolution of 2376 x 968 and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The Motorola Razr just got some tough competition

Honor has launched its very first foldable clamshell phone in China in the form of the Honor Magic V Flip. Though Honor has already been an established player in the foldable market with the Magic V series, this is the brand’s first flip phone, which joins the likes of Motorola Razr Plus, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, Oppo Find N3, and more.

The Honor Magic V Flip is quite an impressive flip phone. It appears to be ahead of the competition with the large 4-inch cover display, which is the largest we’ve seen yet, and it provides a unique dual-screen experience.
