Don’t expect big changes for next-generation takes on the Motorola Razr as a new render has hinted at the phone that’ll be very similar to its predecessor, at least on the surface.
This comes from a claimed official render obtained byMSPoweruser, which shows a foldableRazersmartphone in a flip-phone orientation, with a design that bears a striking similarity to theMotorola Razr 40 Ultra.
This Motorola Razr reportedly bears the model number XT-2453-3 and is codenamed “Glory” by Motorola. It will allegedly be a follow-up to the Razor 40 Ultra, which is the more premium of Motorola’s two current foldable phones. While the potentially upcoming phone’s design doesn’t appear to be a drastic redesign on the outside, we can expect its internals to be overhauled to be more in line with 2024’sbest phonesso far.
The chipset has not yet been confirmed, however, theSnapdragon 8 Gen 3could be a likely choice as the previous Razr 40 used theSnapdragon Gen 1processor. If this chipset is used it could offer a significant boost in processing power and battery efficiency.
If accurate, the render shows it will be available in a similar two-tone grey and black design to past models and will feature a dual-camera system much like its predecessor. However, not much else information can be gleaned from the image.
According toMSPoweruser, this latest Razr will be available through Verizon Wireless,although pricing isn’t yet known, nor has any official release date been announced but it’s believed it could launch in the first half of 2024.
