We have some important news about Motorola’s upcoming folding phones, which are expected to be released later this year. The new models, the Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra, are expected to maintain the exact pricing of their predecessors. In the U.S., these phones should be called the Razr (2024) and Razr Plus (2024), respectively.

According to YTechB, the Razr 50 will be priced at 899 euros for a 256GB model, while the Razr 50 Ultra will be available for 1,199 euros for a 512GB version. In the U.S., the Razr (2024) is expected to be priced at $699, while the Razr Plus (2024) should cost $999. These are the same prices as the Razr (2023) and Razr Plus (2023), respectively.

It’s excellent that Motorola is probably keeping the same prices as last year, especially with ongoing global inflation. This is particularly nice because the Razr (2024) is expected to have a larger cover display than its predecessor. It will likely feature a 3.63-inch panel instead of the 1.5-inch one in the 2023 version. Internally, the Motorola Razr (2024) should have a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X chip.

Another rumor indicated that the Motorola Razr Plus (2024) will be available in three colors: Pantone-certified Peach Fuzz, Blue, and Green. It is also expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. It will reportedly have a 4-inch cover display (up from 3.6 inches on last year’s model) and a 6.9-inch main display.

Motorola is expected to announce the new phones in just a few days, on June 25. The event showcases two captivating slogans: “Flip the script” and “Intelligence inside and out.” This indicates that Motorola and smartphone giants like Samsung and Apple are incorporating AI features.

If you’re in the U.S. and looking for a smartphone camera that won’t let you down, there’s a strong chance that you’ll land on a phone from one of four phone makers: Samsung, Google, OnePlus, or Apple.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is widely regarded as having the best smartphone telephoto lens in the U.S., thanks to its 10x zoom. Google continues to work wonders with the triple camera array in its Pixel 9 Pro, while the OnePlus 12 offers outstanding performance at a more affordable price. Then there’s the iPhone 16 Pro, with its 5x telephoto camera, which was exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max last year.

See Motorola’s latest updates to its rollable phone concept
Motorola Rizr bottom.

Motorola is refining the exciting Rizr concept smartphone shown during Mobile World Congress (MWC) earlier this year, according to a patent filed in the U.S. in November. In case you missed it, the Rizr is a continuation of its popular Razr folding smartphones, but this timewith a motorized rollable screen that retracts and extends to increase the viewing area, or minimize the size of the phone.

The patent addresses how we may eventually unlock the phone using a fingerprint sensor. When the phone’s screen is raised or retracted, a single fixed-position, in-display fingerprint sensor wouldn’t always work, so Motorola is experimenting with multiple fingerprint sensors and a larger activation area to solve the problem.

I love this new iPhone camera feature. Here’s why I’ll never use it

Ever since Apple introduced its Photographic Styles, I’ve mostly stuck to the Standard filter and then edited my pictures in the Photos app later if I wanted. With iOS 18, Apple added the ability to change Photographic Styles after taking a photo, and I decided it was time to experiment and play around with different Styles.

I quickly discovered I’d been missing out, but also why I'm never likely to use the feature again.
A frustrating choice
