Motorola’s flexing with its answer to the Galaxy Z Fold 8
Motorola's long-awaited answer to the Z Fold 8 may finally have a name, according to an official source.
Motorola has officially named its answer to the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Razr Flex 2027. The device has been hinted at through an official website leak and a branding video that showed its shape. Motorola has been aggressively pursuing the foldable market in recent years, aiming to reclaim its former dominance and capitalize on the trend.
After gaining a solid presence in the foldable market with its Razr clamshell foldables, Motorola unveiled the Razr Fold, a more conventional book-fold smartphone. Now, it appears Motorola is eyeing a competitor for the Z Fold 8. Android Authority discovered a dedicated support page for the Razr Flex 2027 on Motorola's Australian website, though no further details are available.
The name aligns with rumors of a wide foldable, but no additional information is currently available. The rumored Motorola wide foldable would feature a 6.92-inch main display and a 4.97-inch cover display, powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor. It might be thicker than its competitors, which could be a drawback. Additionally, a video on Motorola's official branding discovered by Brazilian publication TudoCelular appears to showcase a foldable device resembling a wide foldable, possibly the Razr Flex.
This strategic move by Motorola is seen as a positive step, as the company has struggled to regain its prominence in the phone market, particularly in the US following OnePlus' departure. Recently, Motorola unveiled the Signature 27, a premium flagship phone priced at $1,600, signifying a significant shift in the company's strategy.
