Motorola to Launch a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Rival Soon

Motorola was one of the first companies to launch a foldable phone.  However, the Moto Razr failed to make waves as it only offered mid-range devices at an exceptional price.

That's about to change, as the company has just announced a new foldable phone, but this time with flagship hardware.  The ad comes from a poster showing a salute to a foldable phone.  The teaser also confirms the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the flagship chip that Qualcomm announced recently.

The features of this upcoming foldable device are not yet known, but rumors suggest that the upcoming Moto Razor will have a larger screen inside and out.  Both boards will also have a 120Hz refresh rate this time for smooth scrolling.

As far as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is concerned, this is just an overclocked version of the SD8G1 which is about 30% more efficient.  This time it is based on the TSMC 4nm chip process instead of Samsung.

There is no word yet on a launch date, but the upcoming Moto Razr will compete with the more successful Galaxy Z Flip series, which always has flagship hardware.  The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is expected to debut in the next few months, but the next Moto Razr is likely to launch soon, most likely in June.
