Motorola's Razr Flex wide foldable confirmed for a 2027 launch

An accidental confirmation

Motorola appears to have confirmed its first wide foldable by mistake. According to 9to5Google, a support page briefly posted on the company's website lists the device as the Razr Flex and states that it is a 2027 release.

The company had already teased the phone around Apple's launch event, showing it only as a silhouette. The support page now ties that teased device to a concrete name and release window, although Motorola has made no official announcement.

What to expect from the Razr Flex

Based on earlier reports, the Razr Flex is expected to have a very compact form factor when closed. Motorola's initial plans reportedly include 3D glass and a display designed to have no visible crease, which remains rare among foldable phones.

The rear design is said to use just two cameras, in line with the approach Apple and Samsung have taken with their own wide foldables. The outer display may be a 4.97-inch panel, which would be much smaller than the cover screens on competing devices.

A later arrival than leaks suggested

The 2027 release window is notable because early leaks about Motorola's wide foldable had hinted at a 2026 launch. The support page gives no firm date, but it seems unlikely the phone will arrive before the end of the year.

9to5Google describes the page as an accident, and Motorola has not commented. Until the company speaks officially, the details should be treated as confirmed by the page itself rather than by a formal product announcement.

Why it matters

Wide foldables, sometimes called book-style foldables, open from a phone-sized screen into a larger tablet-like display. Motorola is best known for its flip-style Razr phones, so the Razr Flex would be its first entry in this segment, competing with the Galaxy Z Fold line and Apple's wide foldable.

A 2027 launch gives Motorola time to refine a creaseless display and a compact cover screen, both of which would set the device apart. For buyers, it means a third major player in a market currently dominated by Samsung and, more recently, Apple.
