Motorola’s upcoming wide foldable has taken a clearer step toward reality. A support page on the company’s Australian site now lists the device as “motorola razr flex – 2027.” This is the first time the name and year have appeared in official Motorola documentation.
The page sits in the security update selector alongside existing Razr models. It includes placeholder details such as an August 2024 launch reference, Android 16, and support until August 2029, plus a “Test Security Updates” heading. These figures do not match a 2027 phone, so they are almost certainly temporary. Still, the listing itself confirms the name and points to a launch next year rather than the end of 2026.
What previous reports have said
Earlier leaks described a compact wide foldable meant to compete with Apple’s iPhone Duo and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8. Reported details include a 6.92-inch inner OLED at 165 Hz, a 4.97-inch outer screen, dual 50 MP rear cameras, a 5,000 mAh battery with 25 W wireless charging, and a weight around 215 g. A Geekbench listing previously pointed to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (SM8845, non-Elite version) with 12 GB RAM.
Some earlier reports had suggested a mid-December 2026 arrival. The official support page now makes that timeline less likely. Motorola has not issued a formal announcement or confirmed any specifications. A separate European retailer listing earlier showed a possible price near €1,511 for a 12 GB + 256 GB configuration, but that figure is not official.
The device is expected to use a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Concept renders have shown Pantone Coriander and Pantone Dark Botanical Garden colour options, though final colours are unconfirmed. Dimensions from earlier leaks put the unfolded size at roughly 149 × 110 × 5.8 mm and the folded size at 110 × 76 × 12.6 mm.
Why this matters to Passionategeekz readers
Wide foldables are becoming a real category after the iPhone Duo. A Motorola option that is more compact and potentially more affordable than full-size book foldables would give buyers another choice in a segment that currently has limited options. Indian readers who already follow the Signature 27 and earlier Razr models will want to track whether a local variant appears later. Battery capacity remains modest by current Chinese flagship standards, so real-world endurance will be a key test once the phone launches.
Readers can compare the earlier leak details against the iPhone Duo’s book-style approach and the Xiaomi 18 Fold’s mid-fold design. Motorola’s decision to use the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 rather than an Elite variant also affects how the phone may be positioned on price and performance.
For more context on Motorola’s current premium lineup, see the Signature 27 launch coverage. Earlier Razr Flex leak details are available in our previous report. The iPhone Duo’s official specifications and early sales notes provide a useful benchmark for what wide foldables need to deliver.
Passionategeekz Take: The support-page listing is the strongest confirmation yet of the name and 2027 window, but almost every specification remains a rumour. Treat the 6.92-inch screen, dual 50 MP cameras, 5,000 mAh battery, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 details as unconfirmed until Motorola publishes them. The real question is whether the final phone stays compact and reasonably priced once it faces the iPhone Duo and other wide foldables.
