Motorola is celebrating its 98th anniversary this week, and it’s doing so in style, with an official teaser for its next foldable phone, the Razr Fold Wide. The Lenovo-owned company, founded on September 25, 1928, marked the milestone with a cryptic post on X: “What comes next?”, a clear hint at what’s coming down the pipeline.
A Wider, Squarer Design
The promotional video gives an early glimpse of the Razr Fold Wide, spotlighting a noticeably wider, more square-shaped foldable design. This design direction mirrors a growing trend in the industry, drawing visual comparisons to other contemporary foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and iPhone Duo.
Rather than sticking with the tall, narrow aspect ratio of traditional foldable phones, this new model embraces a wider profile, one clearly built to maximize usable screen space once unfolded.
What We Know About the Design So Far
Full technical specifications remain under wraps, but earlier leaks point to some meaningful design upgrades. According to Ubergizmo, the front display is expected to feature a nearly bezel-less design, reinforced with curved 3D glass.
There’s also buzz that Motorola is aiming to eliminate the visible crease on the main flexible display entirely, a long-standing engineering challenge that has plagued the foldable phone category since its inception.
Specs Still Under Wraps
As of now, key details, including the chipset, RAM capacity, internal storage, battery life, and camera setup, haven’t been officially confirmed. Industry watchers expect more technical details and certification listings to surface in the coming weeks, ahead of the phone’s official launch event.
Motorola Doubles Down on Premium Foldables
More notably, the teaser underscores Motorola’s continued strategic investment in the premium foldable phone segment. With the Razr Fold Wide, the company is positioning itself alongside its existing foldable lineup as a direct challenger in the flagship foldable market.
