91Mobile reports that Motorola’s upcoming foldable phone, the Razr 60 Ultra, could be a powerhouse. The new phone is expected to be announced in just a few days.

As the site explains, the Razr 60 Ultra is expected to include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is also found in other 2025 flagships, including the OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy S25 series.

Additionally, the phone should feature a center-positioned punch-hole selfie camera, flat edges, slim bezels, and a cover screen that stretches to the middle of the back panel.

Other key specifications include:

  • Main Display: 6.96-inch with 1,224×2,992 pixels resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate
  • Cover Screen: 4-inch panel with 165Hz refresh rate and 1,080 x 1,272 pixels resolution
  • Storage and Memory: Multiple configurations including 8GB, 12GB, 16GB, and 18GB RAM with storage options of 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and possibly 2TB

The new phone is expected to launch in various color options and styles, including Dark Green, Rio Red, Hot Pink, and a unique variant with a wood-textured back panel.

In addition to the Razr 60 Ultra (which should be called the Razr+ 2025 in the U.S.), Motorola is likely to announce a standard Razr 60 and a non-foldable Edge 60 Pro.

Although pricing hasn’t yet been announced, the Razor 60 Ultra is expected to start at $999, the same price as the entry-level Razor 50 Ultra. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, currently the best-selling flip phone on the market, starts at $1,099. That model features the 2024 Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy processor. Its successor, the Galaxy Z Flip 7, could be the first Galaxy Z Flip device not to feature a Qualcomm chip. Instead, it could be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2500 or Exynos 2400 processor.

In Geekbench testing, the Exynos 2500 significantly underperforms compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite. This suggests the Razr 60 Ultra could outperform the Galaxy Z Flip 7.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 could land with a much better camera

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 might do away with its under-display camera (UDC) in favor of a more traditional pinhole cam, according to well-known tipster yeux1122. The under-display tech has been a favorite of Samsung's for a long time, but is only used in the Galaxy Z Fold series. UDCs provide a seamless, more streamlined appearance, but lack quality compared to a dedicated camera.

Yeux1122 shared the information on Naver, a Korean blog site. He suggests that under-display cameras are not as cost-efficient as other alternatives. Given the current economic climate, Yeux1122 says Apple has postponed implementation of the technology in its devices and that Samsung's Galaxy division "is also moving in a similar direction." Part of the reason is due to costs, but another is that Samsung is reportedly struggling to improve the technical aspects of the camera.

Are you looking for a smartphone with a stylus but aren’t interested in splashing out for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra? Once again, Motorola raises its hand to catch your attention, and in the other it holds the new Moto G Stylus 2025, which costs a lot less than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but still has the all-important stylus inside. 

The built-in stylus can be used with Google’s Circle to Search feature and with Motorola’s own Sketch to Image feature, which uses AI to turn your sketches into AI art for the Moto Note app. It can be used elsewhere on the phone, such as interacting with system settings and apps, and Motorola claims it is 6.4x more responsive than the previous Moto G Stylus’s pen.

The Galaxy S25 Edge could set you back more than expected
Alleged leaked image of Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is launching May 13, but the latest leaks suggest you should start saving your pennies now — it's price looks to be more than expected. The Italian retailer Zanetti listed the different models and gave us a better idea of how much each will cost, and it's not the best news. The Galaxy S25 Edge could be the second-most expensive entry in the entire S25 lineup.

According to Zanetti, the 256GB variant will cost 1,362 Euro — roughly $1,494, and most likely rounded up to $1,500. The 512GB model is even pricier at 1,488 Euro, or $1,632. It's also worth bearing in mind that these prices are for European retailers; US prices could be even higher due to the recent tariffs.
