Motorola launched the Razr 2022 globally last year in October. The new foldable smartphone from Motorola came with many upgrades over its predecessor, which include a much bigger display on the outside, a powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and a 144Hz foldable display.
It has been a few months since the launch and now rumours about the Motorola Razr 2023 have surfaced online.
A couple of new leaks have revealed the design of the upcoming Motorola foldable phone.
The Moto Razr 2023 will get a bigger cover display.
The company had bumped up the outer display to 2.7 inches in the previous generation.
By the looks of it, the Razr 2023 will get an even bigger display later this year. Let’s take a look at the Motorola Razr 2023 design renders, specifications and other details known so far.
Motorola Razr 2023 First Look Leaked via Design Renders
MOTO-SLIDER
As seen in the leaked render images above (posted by noted tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks)), this is what the Motorola Razr 2023 might look like.
The cover display of the device occupies almost the whole top rear panel, which has a dual camera setup alongside an LED flash.
The exact size of the cover display is unknown at the moment, but we can expect it to be around 3.26-inch, much like the one found on the OPPO Find N2 Flip.
Moving on to the main display, strangely, the Motorola Razr 2023 does not appear to have any sort of cutout for the selfie camera, which could either mean that the device might feature an under-display front camera or might skip it entirely.
The latter is also a plausible theory, considering the fact that the outer cover display could potentially be used as a viewfinder for taking selfies, that too via the device’s main camera.
This could eliminate the need for a hole in the display, thereby ensuring a more immersive viewing experience.
The specifications of the Motorola Razr 2023 are rather unknown at the moment, but we can expect the brand’s upcoming foldable to be powered by a flagship processor by either Qualcomm or MediaTek.
Motorola Razr 2023 Design Renders
The Motorola Razr 2023 design renders have leaked ahead of the foldable phone’s official launch. The device will have a big cover display. The leaked renders of the upcoming Motorola foldable phone were uploaded by tipster Evan Blass.
The renders show that the cover display almost occupies the whole top rear panel shell.
The foldable phone’s outer display will have three cutouts at the bottom right.
These are for the dual-camera setup and an LED flash. The exact size of the cover display is unknown. However, by the looks of it, the Razr 2023 might have a cover display bigger than the OPPO Find N2 Flip, which has a 3.26-inch outer screen.
On the inside, the phone does not have any cutout for the front camera, according to the leaked design renders shared by The Tech Outlook.
It could be possible that Motorola launches the phone with an under-screen front camera or none at all. And it might make sense as the cover display itself is large enough to be used as a viewfinder for clicking selfies.
This will also help get an immersive viewing experience when using the foldable screen.
The bezels around the foldable display are fairly narrow.
The frame is also curved, which should help offer comfortable grip. At the moment, no specifications of the phone have leaked online.
However, we can expect the Razr 2023 to feature a flagship SoC from Qualcomm or Media Tek.
It would be interesting to see if the company manages to increase the battery capacity of the phone, considering the consumption by the bigger displays could be more.
Motorola has not confirmed the official launch timeline of the Razr 2023. While the 2022 Razr did not make it to India (at least at the time of writing this), we hope that the upcoming foldable phone from Motorola launches later this year in the country.
