Motorola has announced its next big event, which will take place on June 25, 2024. With the sayings “Flip the script” and “Intelligence inside and out,” we can safely assume the event will showcase the next Razr lineup and some AI features.

In its post on X (formerly Twitter), Motorola simply teases that its next event is coming next week. Again, the slogan for this is “Flip the script,” so it’s pretty much guaranteed that we are going to see the Razr 2024 and Razr Plus 2024, as those devices are teased in the clip, too.

Another big trend in mobile has been the addition of AI, with even Apple being the latest to announce its own AI tools. It appears that Motorola is set on showing off a suite of AI features coming to the Razr lineup, as it teases “intelligence inside and out.”

We do know a few things about the next Razr series already, thanks to the rumor mill. The Razr 50 — likely to be called the Razr (2024) in the U.S. — will have a larger cover display than its predecessor, coming in at a 3.63-inch panel instead of a 1.5-inch panel like on the 2023 version. If Motorola keeps this budget-friendly option at the same $699 price, then this is a big improvement.

The higher-end Razr Plus (2024) may have a 4-inch cover display this year instead of the 3.6-inch display from the 2023 model. Both Razr models will feature a large 6.9-inch inner display with a better refresh rate than before.

Camera-wise, the Razr (2024) could be equipped with a 50-megapixel main camera and a 13MP telephoto camera. The Razr Plus would have a 50MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom.

On the inside, the Razr (2024) might have a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X chip with 8GB RAM, while the Razr Plus (2024) will have the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with 12GB RAM. The Razr will reportedly have a 4,200mAh battery, while the Plus will likely have an upgraded 4,000mAh battery with up to 45W wired charging speeds.

With only a week away from Motorola’s event, it won’t be long until we see the next generation of its popular flip phone.

Motorola might be making a foldable unlike any we’ve seen before

What do tiny motors, shape-shifting metal, and powerful sensors all have in common? They're part of a potential Motorola foldable phone. Foldable phones are nothing new, but their design and capabilities have come a long way since the days of the original flip phone. And now, 91Mobiles spotted a patent filing from Motorola that suggests an interesting design unlike anything we've seen before.

According to 91mobiles, the patent is titled "Autonomous form factor control of a foldable mobile device."  Don't worry, you won't be tested on that. It basically boils down to a phone that can adjust its hinge position to help keep the user in the center of the frame, similar to Apple's Center Stage feature — except this is controlled through hardware, not software.

Motorola is back with another nostalgic ThinkPhone

Do you remember the Motorola ThinkPhone? It launched at the beginning of 2023 and caught our attention due to its nostalgic, ThinkPad-inspired design and desirable specifications. It didn’t turn out to be the most exciting phone, but it did spearhead Motorola’s business phone push. Now, the company is back with a new model, the ThinkPhone 25.

Motorola’s making it very clear this is a business phone, but like the first ThinkPhone, it still seems to be possible to buy the device even if you don’t get it as part of Motorola’s enterprise service. The question is, will you want one?
