| The Razr Flex is rumoured to retail for around €1,510 (~$1,689). |
Motorola looks like it's gearing up for another high-end foldable, and this time the leaks are coming from Motorola itself. The company has quietly added references to the Razr Flex 2027 on its Australian support pages, and a teaser video from a media event has now surfaced online. Put together, the pieces suggest a December launch with early shipments landing by mid-month.
Motorola's own support page confirms the name
The most convincing evidence comes straight from Motorola Australia. The Razr Flex 2027 now has its own dedicated support page, where it sits between the Razr 70 Ultra and the Razr Fold in the Razr family lineup. That's a pretty clear signal that the device is real and nearing release.
The page currently lists monthly/regular security updates and Android 16 out of the box with an upgrade path to Android 17. Some of the date fields look like placeholders right now, so don't read too much into them yet, but the device's presence on Motorola's official support portal is hard to dismiss. You can also check Motorola's security update hub for the latest rollout details.
A teaser video from a media event
Brazilian outlet TudoCelular shared footage of what appears to be Motorola teasing the Razr Flex 2027 during a media event. The TudoCelular report adds weight to the support page discovery, and Android Authority has also picked up the story, describing the support page and video leak as the first real look at the device.
A quick heads-up: both of those links returned a 403 error when we checked them, which usually means the sites are blocking automated access rather than the pages being gone. If you want to read them, try opening them directly in your browser, or use the Wayback Machine for archived versions.
What's inside the Razr Flex 2027?
Geekbench has already given us a decent picture of the hardware. The Razr Flex 2027 is expected to pair 12 GB of RAM with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, which should put it right in flagship territory.
The display setup is reportedly a 4.97-inch cover screen and a 6.92-inch foldable panel, both running at 165 Hz. That's a fast refresh rate for a foldable, and it lines up with Motorola's recent push toward high-refresh OLEDs across its lineup.
Battery capacity is rumoured at 5,000 mAh inside a chassis that measures just 5.8 mm when opened. The phone is also tipped to weigh around 215 g, which is impressively light for a foldable with this kind of camera hardware.
Speaking of cameras, the leak points to a 50 MP primary, a 50 MP ultra-wide, and dual 32 MP selfie shooters. If accurate, that's a serious camera array for a foldable.
How it stacks up against the iPhone Duo and Galaxy Z Fold8
Motorola isn't launching this thing in a vacuum. The Razr Flex 2027 is clearly being positioned against the iPhone Duo and Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8. The Galaxy Z Fold8 currently sells for around $1,709 on Amazon (check the latest price here), so Motorola will need to be aggressive on pricing if it wants to steal attention.
On paper, the Razr Flex 2027 holds its own: a lighter body, a high-refresh cover display, and a big battery. The real question is whether Motorola can match Samsung's software polish and Apple's ecosystem appeal. That's a tall order, but the hardware specs suggest Motorola is at least taking the fight seriously.
December launch looks likely
The current expectation is an official launch in December, with early shipments starting by the middle of the month. That timing would let Motorola capture holiday shoppers and get ahead of any early-2027 foldable announcements.
For now, the Razr Flex 2027 remains unofficial, but between the support page going live, the teaser footage, and the Geekbench listing, the cat is more or less out of the bag. We'll update this story as soon as Motorola makes it official.
