Motorola’s Razr Flex name and chip surface in new foldable leak
May be betting that a lower price can make its wide-screen foldable stand out, even if it does not carry the newest top-tier processor.
Motorola may be betting that a lower price can make its wide-screen foldable stand out, even if it does not carry the newest top-tier processor. A Geekbench listing points to a device called the Razr Flex, powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, though neither the name nor the specifications have been confirmed by the company.
The listing, reported by Gizmochina and covered by other technology outlets, identifies a pre-release Motorola phone as either the Razr Flex 27 or Razr Flex 2027. It also shows 12GB of RAM and Android 17. Geekbench entries can be altered, and Motorola has not said what it will call the device.
A possible trade-off on performance
The processor detail differs from an earlier leak that pointed to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is still flagship-grade hardware, but it is older and sits below the top-tier chip in the lineup described by the reports.
That choice could help Motorola contain costs. The company’s recent Razr strategy has not always involved upgrading the core hardware with each new model: its 2026 flip phones retained existing components, including a previous-generation chip in the Razr 70 Ultra. The approach may appeal to buyers who care more about price and design than having the latest processor.
Motorola is positioning the reported wide foldable against devices such as Apple’s iPhone Duo and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8. A separate leak described a passport-style design that opens sideways, with a 6.92-inch inner display and a 4.97-inch outer screen. It also put the phone’s weight at 215 grams, compared with 254 grams for the iPhone Duo, while reporting a thicker folded profile than Samsung’s device.
The name is still unsettled
The Razr Flex label has appeared in leaks before, but the Geekbench entry is its first reported appearance outside those earlier reports. Adding a year to the name would fit Motorola’s naming practice for phones sold in North America, according to Gizmochina. That does not make either version official.
No price has emerged for the wide foldable. For now, the listing offers a first glimpse of the hardware Motorola may use; the company’s eventual announcement will determine whether the reported name, processor and other details hold up.
