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.

Setting up your dorm desk? These are the phone stands I’d actually spend my money on

From a $2 folding stand to a three-in-one Apple charging dock, these are the phone stands worth setting up this semester.

A phone stand is one of the smallest purchases on any back-to-school list, but it's also one of the easiest to get wrong, especially since there are dozens of options available on Amazon. A good phone stand is one that does its job well and, more importantly, doesn't put much of a dent in your budget.

This is one of those product categories where you don’t need to spend big, unless a MagSafe dock or a multi-device charging stand is genuinely useful for your desk or dorm setup. That is why this list begins with the most affordable options and works its way up to the more expensive ones. From a two-pack that costs about as much as a coffee to a three-in-one Apple charging station, I picked eight of Amazon's best-reviewed phone stands worth considering this back-to-school season.

I picked four wireless chargers so you can stop making your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch fight over one dorm outlet

The best back-to-school wireless chargers for dorm desks, study spaces, and travel

A dorm-room desk can disappear surprisingly quickly beneath a laptop charger, phone cable, Apple Watch puck, and the growing collection of adapters required to power them all. Add textbooks and other academic materials, and finding enough room to study becomes the first assignment of the semester.

A wireless charging stand can consolidate several of those cables into one station. It also gives your phone a dedicated place to sit, which helps when you are checking the time or watching a lecture. Every charger here still needs one connection to the wall. So finding a peripheral that works with all of your gadgets isn't just convenient, it's smart. I picked four models ranging from an inexpensive two-device stand to a fast 25W wireless charger capable of powering an entire Apple setup.

Your backpack needs one of these power banks before classes start

I picked 4 power banks that can survive your longest day on campus

Finding an empty outlet on campus can require more patience than registering for a popular class. Common spaces like libraries or lecture halls rarely have sockets in the right places. So a good power bank gives you far more freedom. It gives you the option to choose the quiet corner of the library, work outside between classes, or even finish an assignment without worrying about your laptop's battery.

The right model depends on what you carry, since a phone needs far less power than a MacBook or gaming laptop. I picked four Anker power banks that cover everything from everyday phone charging to running several demanding devices at once.
