GoKawiilMotorola has dropped an April 29 date for announcing its new Razr phone lineup, continuing the foldable Android phone line. The date confirmation was posted on Motorola's social media accounts in a teaser video showing glimpses of the phones. We've already heard plenty of rumors about what to expect. We anticipate a base Razr, a Razr Plus and Razr Ultra, as Motorola continues to refine its take on the flip-style phone.
We also know that any new flip-style phones will join Motorola's book-style Razr Fold, which is set to go on sale this summer.
Until Motorola does provide a look into its next line of flip phones, here's what we heard around the internet regarding the rumored phones' new designs, improved cameras and beefier specs.

Release date and price
As we said up top, we just heard that Motorola will officially announce the new Razr line on April 29th, 2026. As for price, we're guessing they'll either stay the same (the 2025 Razr starts at $700) or be more expensive due to the global RAM shortage and other world events.
A recent report from Dealabs (hat tip to 9to5Google) seems to indicate that the new Razrs will be a lot pricier than previous years. Allegedly, the new Razr 2026 will start at $800, the Razr Plus 2026 will start at $1,100 and the Razr Ultra 2026 will start $1,500. That's about a $100 increase for all phones except the Ultra, which has a $200 increase.
Motorola's UK website has begun preorders for the Razr Fold with an £1,800 price for a model with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage. Those preorders will be shipping in that country on May 6. However, pricing and availability will likely be different for the US market, which has yet to announce those details. The aforementioned Dealabs report states that the US pricing could be around $1,900. For comparison, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 costs £1,799 for a 256GB model, and starts at $2,000 in the US.
