- A Motorola Razr 70 certification has revealed some potential specs
- A release for the foldable flip appears to be imminent
- Improved cameras and memory could have the Z Flip scared
Ask any phone fan – including us – what the best flip phone is right now and they’ll say it’s the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7. However, another contender may soon beat it in a few ways.
It sounds like the Motorola Razr 70 specs have been leaked (this phone will probably just be called the ‘Motorola Razr (2026) in the US, based on the brand’s naming conventions). This comes via Chinese certifications for the phone which reveal a lot about it.
The upcoming flip phone seems to have a few specs in common with its predecessor, such as 6.9-inch main screen and 3.6-inch second, a 4,500 mAh battery, 32 MP front camera and 50 MP main camera.
A few specs have been upgraded though: there’s set to be a second camera that’s also 50MP, up from 13MP in the 2025 model, maximum storage has increased to 1TB, and RAM has also seen a bump with 16GB and 18GB models.
Four upgrades over the Galaxy Z Flip 7
A few of the reported Motorola Razr 70 specs could draw attention away from the Z Flip 7, for fans looking for certain things.
Take storage for example. If the 1TB model is widely available, business users who need lots of space on the device will have a great new option; after all, the Z Flip and Razr 60 both top out at 512GB.
That’s equally true of RAM, which hits a 12GB limit in the Z Fold 7. Perhaps the 16GB or 18GB options in the Razr 70 are a bit unnecessary in a flip phone, but they’d make it feel amazingly fast.
I am most interested in the camera department. Two 50MP cameras would give the Moto more pixels at its disposal than the Samsung, but the listing also mentions 3x optical zoom, suggesting one of the cameras will be a telephoto. Since most flip phones currently offer dual camera systems with main and ultra-wide, this would be a new and refreshing upgrade to the handsets.
The fourth advantage would be the front camera resolution, where the 32MP snapper on the Razr 70 (and 60, for that matter) beat the 10MP from Samsung.
A lot more goes into a phone than its hardware, so it’s impossible to say that the new Moto flipper will trump Samsung’s offering right now. But it’s definitely one to watch.
There’s no word on when the Motorola Razr 70 series will be released, but the 2025 models were shown off at the end of April this year, so a roughly similar window could follow this year. It might come alongside a more premium model, like last year’s Motorola Razr Ultra, but we haven’t heard much about that yet.
