Here’s when Motorola’s iPhone Duo killer will launch

Motorola has quietly confirmed when its wide foldable, the Razr Flex, is due to arrive. A newly surfaced support page on the company’s own site lists the phone as the Motorola Razr Flex 2027, pointing to a launch next year rather than before the end of 2026. No exact date has been given, but the listing is the clearest official signal yet of both the name and the timing.

Moto Razr Flex launch timeline

The page appeared on Motorola’s Australian testing support site and is titled “motorola razr flex – 2027,” the first time the name has shown up in the company’s own support documentation. Its security details look like placeholders, with an August 2024 launch, Android 16, support until August 2029, and a “Test Security Updates” heading.

Motorola has not issued a formal announcement or a firm date. Earlier reports, including previous coverage of leaked specifications, had pointed to a mid-December debut this year.

Motorola already teased a shorter, wider foldable on September 9, the same day Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo. Its official X video ended on a blacked-out compact foldable, calling it “our next move” without a name or launch date.

What to expect from the Moto Razr Flex

The iPhone Duo is Apple’s first foldable iPhone, announced on September 9 and priced from $1,999, with sales starting on October 23. The Razr Flex is expected to compete in the same short and wide category as the Duo and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8.

Reports have described a 6.92-inch 165Hz inner OLED, a 4.97-inch cover display, dual 50-megapixel cameras, 12GB of RAM, a 5,000mAh battery, and Android 17, though Motorola has not confirmed the leaked specs. A Geekbench listing also pointed to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip.

A European retailer listed a 12GB + 256GB model at €1,510.90 (about $1,693). It incorrectly described the phone as a flip, so the price should be treated with caution.
