Motorola's upcoming foldable smartphone, the Razr 50 Ultra (also known as Razr+ 2024 in some markets), is shaping up to be a significant improvement over its predecessor. Recent leaks and certification filings have revealed key specifications and features of the device, pointing to notable upgrades in several areas.
Display and Design
- 6.9-inch foldable pOLED main display (2640 x 1080 resolution)
- 3.6-inch to 4-inch cover display (exact size varies between reports)

Camera System

- 32MP front-facing camera (unchanged from previous model)
Battery and Charging
- 4,000mAh battery (up from 3,800mAh)

While these specifications represent a notable improvement over the Razr 40 Ultra, it's worth noting that the charging speed may be limited to 45W despite the inclusion of a 68W charger, according to some reports. Additionally, the IPX8 rating suggests improved water resistance but no specific dust protection.
As Motorola prepares to compete with the likes of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6, the Razr 50 Ultra appears to be a strong contender in the foldable smartphone market. However, official confirmation of these specifications and features will be necessary to fully assess the device's capabilities and value proposition.
