This legendary noughties gadget quickly became a hit, landing just before the advent of the Apple in 2007.

Motorola revived the brand in 2019 with all-screen clamshell and foldable designs.

The gadgets are expected to keep the iconic flip-phone design, but sport specs like a flagship handset from Samsung or Apple.

A recent leak by tech blog suggested that the Razr 60 Ultra would come in four colours: Pantone Scarab, Pantone Rio Red, Pantone Mountain Trail, and Pantone Cabaret.

There's expected to be a special button on the left side of the phone that could launch the Moto AI assistant.

It'll reportedly feature a 6.96-inch AMOELD display – that's roughly the same size as the panel on an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

And the cover of the phone (seen when flipped closed) is tipped to sport a 4-inch OLED display.

Supposedly powering the handset is a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor built by US chip giant Qualcomm, with software from (in the form of ).

The phone is reportedly going to have a 50-megapixel dual camera setup on the rear, as well as a 50-megapixel snapper on the foldable panel.

And inside, we're expecting a 4,500mAh battery that should keep the phone going for a full day.

The leak suggests that we'll see 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage options, with RAM variants of 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB available.

There's no word on pricing just yet, but the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra currently retails for £799 in the UK.

That puts it in a similar bracket to high-end rival phones, like the iPhone 16 (£799) and Google Pixel 9 (£799).

By contrast, the original Motorola Razr retailed for somewhere between £350 and £500 in the UK – although gadget prices have risen through inflation since then.

However, both of those devices are expected to be replaced by newer models later this year.
