Motorola is set to unveil its next generation of foldable smartphones next week, but a comprehensive spec sheet for the upcoming Razr 60 Ultra (also known as Razr+ 2025 in North America) has already leaked online. The detailed specifications suggest Motorola is making significant improvements to challenge Samsung's dominance in the foldable market with upgraded displays, processing power, and battery capacity.
Impressive Display Upgrades
The leaked specifications reveal that the Razr 60 Ultra will feature a 7-inch primary LTPO AMOLED foldable display, slightly larger than its predecessor's 6.9-inch screen. More impressively, the main display will support a 165Hz refresh rate and reach peak brightness levels of up to 4,500 nits, a substantial increase from the Razr 50 Ultra's 3,000 nits. The cover display remains at 4 inches but also receives the 165Hz refresh rate treatment and improved brightness capabilities of up to 3,000 nits, compared to the previous model's 2,400 nits. These enhancements should provide a smoother visual experience and better outdoor visibility.
Comparison with Previous Generation
| Feature | Razr 60 Ultra | Razr 50 Ultra |
|---|---|---|
| Main Display | 7-inch, 4,500 nits | 6.9-inch, 3,000 nits |
| Cover Display | 4-inch, 3,000 nits | 4-inch, 2,400 nits |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite | Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 |
| Battery | 4,700mAh | 4,000mAh |
| Secondary Camera | 50MP ultra-wide | Telephoto lens |
| Weight | 199g | Lighter (exact weight not specified) |
Cutting-Edge Performance
Perhaps the most significant upgrade comes in the form of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which will power the device. This represents a major leap from last year's Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. The processor will reportedly be paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, positioning the Razr 60 Ultra as a potential performance leader in the foldable market. Notably, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is not yet confirmed to feature the same advanced chipset, potentially giving Motorola a competitive edge.
Battery and Charging Improvements
Battery life has traditionally been a pain point for foldable devices, but Motorola appears to be addressing this with a significantly larger 4,700mAh battery in the Razr 60 Ultra, up from the 4,000mAh capacity in its predecessor. To complement this larger battery, the device will support 68W wired charging and 30W wireless charging capabilities, which should result in faster recharge times despite the increased capacity. These improvements may help address one of the key concerns users have had with foldable phones.
Camera Configuration
The camera system on the Razr 60 Ultra features a 50MP primary rear camera with optical image stabilization and an f/1.8 aperture, alongside a 50MP ultra-wide angle sensor with macro capabilities. Interestingly, Motorola has apparently decided to replace the telephoto lens from the previous model with this ultra-wide camera. For selfies, there's a 50MP front-facing camera. While the hardware specifications sound promising, real-world performance will be the true test of these camera capabilities.
Design and Build
According to the leak, the Razr 60 Ultra will measure 171.48 x 73.99 x 7.29mm when unfolded and 88.12 x 73.99 x 15.69mm when folded. It weighs 199 grams, which represents a slight increase from its predecessor due to the larger battery. The device will also feature dual SIM support, 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, GPS, and a USB Type-C port. Images shared by leakers also suggest the phone will be available in multiple finishes, including what appears to be a distinctive wood-like texture.
Software and Pricing
The Razr 60 Ultra will ship with Android 15 out of the box. While US pricing hasn't been confirmed, European pricing is rumored to be around €1,350 (approximately USD $1,500) for the 512GB storage variant with 12GB RAM. However, as is often the case, direct currency conversions don't typically reflect actual regional pricing strategies. The US price is expected to be closer to USD $1,200, though still potentially higher than last year's model.
