Motorola is reportedly working on a new foldable smartphone with a design that sets it apart from recent models from companies like Samsung, Xiaomi, and Apple. The device, currently known by the codename Parker and referred to as Razr Flex or Razr Wide Fold, has not been officially confirmed. However, leaked mockups based on sketches and technical details suggest a design that differs from the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Xiaomi 18 Fold, and the rumored iPhone Duo. These visuals hint at a smartphone that is slightly different in form and function.
According to reports, the device would feature an external OLED screen measuring 4.97 inches with a resolution of 1732 x 1140 pixels, and an internal OLED display of 6.92 inches with a resolution of 2364 x 1728 pixels. The internal display could reach up to 165 Hz, which would ensure smooth performance for gaming and navigation. The phone would measure 110 x 149 x 5.8 mm when open and 110 x 76 x 12.6 mm when closed, making it bulkier than typical foldables and thicker than the closed Galaxy Z Fold 8, which is 9.7 mm thick. The design would include rounded edges similar to those found in Xiaomi and Apple models. The mockups show standard bezels, with a centered front camera at the top of the cover display and another at the top right of the internal screen. On the back, the camera lenses would be arranged in a slightly raised horizontal bar. Two color options are mentioned: Coriander (a light beige) and Dark Botanical Garden (a dark green).
The Razr Flex (or Razr Wide Fold) would be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, which is etched in 3 nm technology, offering improved efficiency and performance. It would come with 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, and run on Android 17. Other features include support for Wifi 7, Bluetooth 6, and a physical button dedicated to artificial intelligence. Lenovo, which owns Motorola, plans to use the phone's thickness to house a dual-cell battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh, compared to 4800 mAh in the Z Fold 8. The phone would support both traditional wired charging and Qi2 standard wireless charging up to 25 W, though the inclusion of magnets is still uncertain. It may also be certified with IP48 or IP49 ratings, which provide protection against dust and water. In terms of photography, the device would include two 50 megapixel sensors, with a main camera capable of up to x50 digital zoom and an ultra-wide lens. For selfies, two 32 megapixel cameras would be used, one on each screen.
Motorola's new foldable would have a smaller format compared to some direct competitors, which often have internal screens exceeding 7.5 inches. This suggests the company is focusing on compactness rather than size. A presentation is expected around mid-December 2026. Until then, the name, design, and several features may still change. However, one thing is clear: foldable smartphones have never been more popular.
