A new foldable phone called the Razr Flex has just been mentioned on Motorola’s official website. While the rumor mill had been abuzz about this phone for months, the rumors lacked any official backing until now.
Based on leaks revealing its passport-style design, the Razr Flex is being touted as a direct competitor to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and the iPhone Duo.
The Motorola Razr Flex is coming next year
Motorola’s website now displays a dedicated support page for a device named “Motorola Razr Flex - 2027”. Although there’s no preview image on the page, it does confirm both the phone’s name and its expected release year. Some specs are mentioned too, but those details appear to be temporary placeholders, as indicated by the fictitious “August 2024” launch date.
A video of the device, allegedly filmed at a Motorola event, also appeared online. The phone in that quick teaser matches several leaked sketches of the Razr Flex.

What makes the Razr Flex special is its passport-style form factor. Samsung was the first to switch up aspect ratios in its Galaxy Z Fold 8, giving it a wider-than-taller design. Apple took this passport-like form a step further and made its iPhone Duo even more compact by comparison. Motorola now seems to be following suit with the Razr Flex.
Some enthusiasts on Reddit are eager to cast the Razr Flex as the “iPhone Duo killer” or the “Galaxy Z Fold 8 killer”. Based on previous leaks, the Razr Flex does bear a striking resemblance to iPhone Duo. Sources also suggest an alleged price of $1,680 for the Razr Flex compared to the iPhone Duo’s $1,999, so there may be some truth to the claims.

Other Redditors find the comparison with the iPhone Duo inadequate since it runs iOS, not Android. Even if you leave the Duo out, the Galaxy Fold 8 ($1,899) remains the Razr Flex’s obvious competition.
At any rate, we don’t yet have official word on the Razr Flex’s appearance or pricing, so I’m staying on the fence until more details are verified.
