Italian retailer Deal N Tech has leaked new information about the upcoming Motorola Razr 50 Ultra foldable phone — including color and storage options, as well as pricing details in Europe. The phone, a successor to the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra/Motorola Razr Plus, has no release date yet, but is expected very soon.

According to the report by Deal N Tech, the new phone will be priced at 1,200 euros (approximately $1,292) in Europe for a 512GB storage variant with 12GB of RAM. It is worth noting that the previous model was launched in 2023 at the same price, but it had a 256GB storage capacity and 8GB of RAM. A previous rumor also noted that the new phone would be available with 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.

The upcoming phone will resemble its predecessor and come in three colors: Pantone-certified Peach Fuzz, Blue, and Green. We previously saw the same Peach Fuzz color on the recent Motorola Edge 50 Ultra.

It is speculated that the next Razr Ultra will come with a 3.6-inch cover display and be powered by either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 processor. Although these chips are not Qualcomm’s latest top-tier silicon, they should still be capable of handling day-to-day phone activities. As for the main display, it is currently unknown whether it will remain the same as on the Razr 40 Ultra, which has a diagonal measurement of 6.9 inches.

If the Razr 50 Ultra is anything like its predecessor, it should find great success. Digital Trends editors hailed the Razr 40 Ultra as a reliably good foldable phone.

The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra launch could be imminent, at least in Europe. Recently, 91Mobiles leaked what the outlet claimed to be “live images” of the handset following its appearance in a regulatory database.

New photos give us another look at Samsung’s next Galaxy Z Fold

Leaked images of what appears to be a special edition of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 have surfaced, offering a few glimpses of the upcoming foldable phone. While the images don't reveal the complete picture, they confirm some key design elements and hint at potential color options. These images were posted on X by Evan Blass and later mentioned by Android Headlines.

One image showcased shows a prominent rear camera bump housing three lenses. While this confirms a triple-camera setup, it seems that a periscope telephoto lens won't be included, potentially disappointing those hoping for enhanced zoom capabilities.

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.

New iPhone SE 4 details just leaked. Here’s what we learned

The iPhone 14 Plus's main Home screen.

The iPhone SE will finally get a new look, though it might still appear identical to a two-generation-old mainline model. This nugget of information comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who claims that the next “SE” trim could arrive early next year.

“The new model will resemble the iPhone 14, including the notch cutout at the top,” says the report. That means the upcoming iPhone could also be the last Apple smartphone with a physical home button with the integrated Touch ID sensor.
