Italian retailer Deal N Tech has leaked new information about the upcoming Motorola Razr 50 Ultra foldable phone — including color and storage options, as well as pricing details in Europe. The phone, a successor to the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra/Motorola Razr Plus, has no release date yet, but is expected very soon.

According to the report by Deal N Tech, the new phone will be priced at 1,200 euros (approximately $1,292) in Europe for a 512GB storage variant with 12GB of RAM. It is worth noting that the previous model was launched in 2023 at the same price, but it had a 256GB storage capacity and 8GB of RAM. A previous rumor also noted that the new phone would be available with 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.

The upcoming phone will resemble its predecessor and come in three colors: Pantone-certified Peach Fuzz, Blue, and Green. We previously saw the same Peach Fuzz color on the recent Motorola Edge 50 Ultra.

It is speculated that the next Razr Ultra will come with a 3.6-inch cover display and be powered by either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 processor. Although these chips are not Qualcomm’s latest top-tier silicon, they should still be capable of handling day-to-day phone activities. As for the main display, it is currently unknown whether it will remain the same as on the Razr 40 Ultra, which has a diagonal measurement of 6.9 inches.

If the Razr 50 Ultra is anything like its predecessor, it should find great success. Digital Trends editors hailed the Razr 40 Ultra as a reliably good foldable phone.

The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra launch could be imminent, at least in Europe. Recently, 91Mobiles leaked what the outlet claimed to be “live images” of the handset following its appearance in a regulatory database.

New iPhone SE 4 details just leaked. Here’s what we learned
The iPhone 14 Plus's main Home screen.

The iPhone SE will finally get a new look, though it might still appear identical to a two-generation-old mainline model. This nugget of information comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who claims that the next “SE” trim could arrive early next year.

“The new model will resemble the iPhone 14, including the notch cutout at the top,” says the report. That means the upcoming iPhone could also be the last Apple smartphone with a physical home button with the integrated Touch ID sensor.

Motorola might be working on another cheap foldable. Here’s what we know

A new Motorola Razr is likely on the way, according to findings from the website 91Mobiles. The new device appeared on the Geekbench platform under the name "Motorola Razr 50s." This phone would most likely be specced below the Razr 50 and the Razr 50 Ultra, which you probably know better as the Razr 2024 and the Razr Plus 2024.

Benchmarking can give us an idea of how powerful a device is without revealing specific specifications, and that's exactly what happened here. On a single-core test, the Motorola Razr 50s scored 1,040 points and 3,003 on a multi-core test.

Samsung and Google can learn a lot from these affordable foldables

There’s something very satisfying about using a pair of folding phones where I don’t have to first consider the cost before talking about anything else. Tecno’s Phantom V Fold 2 and Phantom V Flip 2 aren’t cheap, but they can be considered affordable in today’s high-priced smartphone world.

Despite that, neither is horribly compromised or obviously built on a strict budget. There’s a lot to like -- and also a lot that other brands can learn from these two fun foldables.
