Motorola is set to expand its foldable phone lineup with the upcoming Razr 60 series in 2025.
Building on the success of the Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra, the new devices are anticipated to feature cutting-edge technology and design. Based on previous releases, we’d expect them to be called the Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultra.
While concrete details remain scarce, speculation about the release date, pricing, and features provides an exciting glimpse into what Motorola might deliver.
When will the Motorola Razr 60 be released?
Back in August 2024, Gizmo China reported that Motorola was working on the device codenamed ‘Orion’ with the model number XT2551-3. The ‘XT25’ prefix also potentially confirmed the device’s planned launch year as 2025.
Now, as per 91Mobiles report, the Razr 60 Ultra has moved closer to its launch, having been certified by the BIS authority in India under the model number ‘XT2551’. This certification offers little additional detail, but it confirms the device as the successor to the Razr 50 Ultra, which had the ‘XT2451’ model number.
This aligns with Motorola’s established naming conventions and hints at a new addition to the foldable lineup.
As a reminder, the Razr 50 Ultra was certified for sale in India by the BIS back in April last year, and then the phone was subsequently launched globally in June. If this two-month delay between certification and launch continues, the Razr 60 Ultra could be official as soon as March, though that’s only speculation at this stage.
How much will the Motorola Razr 60 cost?
While there’s no official word on pricing, it’s reasonable to assume that the Razr 60 phones will be priced similarly to their predecessors.

For reference, the Razr 50 Ultra (Razr+ (2024) in the US) launched at £999/$999, while the regular Razr 50 (Razr (2024)) started at £799.99/$699.99.
Hopefully, Motorola will be able to introduce new features without increasing prices. It’d also be great if Motorola didn’t make the regular model so much more expensive in the UK than the US, as was the case in 2024.
What specs and features will the Motorola Razr 60 have?
The Motorola Razr 60 series is expected to build upon the strong foundation laid by its predecessors.
While details are yet to be revealed, examining the Razr 50 series provides clues about what we might see in the next generation.
Design
Motorola has consistently prioritised sleek, innovative designs in its foldable lineup.
The Razr 60 series is likely to continue this trend with a refined hinge mechanism and a slimmer profile.

A premium build with durable materials will ensure the devices remain competitive with other foldable offerings on the market.
We also anticipate improvements in the crease visibility on the folding display and enhanced overall durability.
Display
The Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra featured a stunning 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED display, and their successors are expected to raise the bar.

We may see an even brighter and more efficient screen, perhaps with improved refresh rates for smoother scrolling and gaming experiences.
Motorola could also enhance the external cover displays, making them larger and more functional for quick interactions.
As a reminder, while the Razr 50 has a 3.4-inch external display, the Razr 50 Ultra boasts a 4-inch screen.
Performance
Equipped with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, the Razr 50 Ultra delivered exceptional performance.
On the other hand, the regular Razr 50 featured the Mediatek Dimensity 7300X, which wasn’t a great performer.

However, Xpertpick has spotted an extry on the Geekbench database labelled “motorola motorola razr ultra 2025” that’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Moving to Qualcomm’s latest and greatest chipset would be a surprising move, considering the 8s Gen 3 on the 50 Ultra was a big step down from the regular 8 Gen 3.
If true, it’d mean the Razr 60 Ultra would be able to go head-to-head with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which would likely use the same chip.
However, it’s not yet clear which RAM and storage options would be available.
Cameras
The Razr 50 Ultra’s 50Mp main lens, 50Mp telephoto and 32Mp front camera offered impressive photography capabilities for a foldable device.
The Razr 50’s setup swapped a 50Mp telephoto lens for a 13Mp ultrawide camera, but still produced great photos.

In the Razr 60 series, we can expect improvements in sensor technology, better low-light performance, and possibly additional lenses for versatile shooting options.
Enhanced AI features for photography and videography might also be part of the package.
Battery & Charging
A 4000mAh battery powers the Razr 50 Ultra, providing about a day and a half’s worth of usage. Interestingly, the regular Razr 50 has a larger 4200mAh battery that will get you through a full day with around 50% battery left.
However, it’s the smaller battery in the Ultra model that supports 45W wired charging, while the Razr 50 only supports 30W wired charging. Both offer 15W wireless charging, though.

The Razr 60 series is likely to feature a slightly larger battery capacitys alongside improved energy efficiency, ensuring longer usage times. Fast charging capabilities may also see upgrades.
Software
Motorola’s near-stock Android experience has been a highlight for its phones. The Razr 60 series is expected to launch with the latest Android 15, complete with Motorola’s intuitive additions for foldable functionality.
Enhanced multitasking features, customisable external display interactions, and seamless app continuity between folded and unfolded modes will likely be emphasised.
