The Motorola Razr 3 is expected to arrive in June 2022

Motorola is preparing to launch a third Motorola Razr phone in June 2022, according to a new report from German tech site TechnikNews. In the final days of December 2021, the existence of the Motorola Razr 3 was confirmed via a Weibo post from a Lenovo executive. Now this report (and another from the folks over at XDA Developers) purports to share more precise time frames and spec details. Lenovo’s Chen Jin already confirmed that the Razr 3 would be far more powerful than existing Moto Razr phones, and this backs it up. The upcoming device will reportedly be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, which is currently the most powerful model in the Qualcomm series.

This processor has been employed recently by the Honor Magic V and will soon appear in the OnePlus 10 Pro handset. The RAM available would be a solid 12GB, though variants with 8GB and 6GB respectively could also be available with up to 512GB of storage. In contrast, the Motorola Razr 5G came with a pedestrian Snapdragon 765G, the same processor that powers the budget Pixel 5a 5G. The previous Motorola Razr came with an even weaker Snapdragon 710. This would represent a significant improvement over both those efforts if true, and it’ll make the Razr a viable alternative to the more powerful and critically acclaimed Galaxy Z Flip 3.

The phone will likely have a Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate like most flagship devices possess. The display would be in a 20:9 ratio while the camera would have a 50MP sensor from OmniVision. Surprisingly, there would also be a 13MP sensor at the back to capture ultrawide and macro photographs. The front camera would also be an OmniVision sensor and it would have a resolution of 32MP. There could be another 50MP camera, though it is currently unconfirmed. Meanwhile, video recording via the main camera can be done in UHD (Ultra High Definition) at 60 frames per second, whereas slow-motion video can be captured at 120 fps. While June is a long time away, it’s worth noting that Google’s Android 12L — a version of Android built to handle foldables more efficiently — is coming in the interim. It is certainly possible that the Moto Razr’s supposed release date was planned with that in mind. Motorola hasn’t had much luck with its foldable so far, especially compared with Samsung. It certainly needs every advantage it can get.

Nothing’s CEO just told us when to expect the Nothing Phone 3
Nothing Phone 3a

There has been a lot of speculation around the Nothing Phone 3, but in an Ask Me Anything thread on X, Nothing's CEO just confirmed its launch window: quarter three of 2025. Considering today is not April Fool's Day and Carl Pei runs the company, we can't think of a more reliable source for information on this. The launch window also lines up with previous releases; the Nothing Phone and Phone 2 both launched in July, and it looks like the third in the series is likely to follow.

The Nothing Phone 3 will be the company's third release this year, following the Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro. Nothing also revealed images of the CMF Phone 2 Pro with a new, redesigned look, and more information on the handset will be shown on April 28 at its global launch event.

Motorola Razr 60 Ultra could be the phone that makes me leave Apple

I haven't used anything except an iPhone as my daily driver since 2015, nor have I regularly used a laptop aside from my MacBook for productivity since then. That's a decade of nearly full immersion into the Apple ecosystem. I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy; I just appreciated the convenience of it all. But after taking a look at the price tag of the flagship iPhone 16 Pro Max and the relatively minor upgrades it presents (even over my iPhone 12), the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra has caught my eye.

Its specs aren't confirmed yet, but the leak we saw this morning comes from OnLeaks — a source that is rarely mistaken on this subject. Foldable phones are everywhere now (and Apple is rumored to be working on one, too), but the price tag is the biggest obstacle for most people. The Razr 60 Ultra is expected to start at $1,000 — less than I paid for my current phone — and outclass even the iPhone 16 Pro Max in terms of power.

Moto G Stylus 2025 arrives to tempt Galaxy S25 Ultra buyers away

Are you looking for a smartphone with a stylus but aren’t interested in splashing out for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra? Once again, Motorola raises its hand to catch your attention, and in the other it holds the new Moto G Stylus 2025, which costs a lot less than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but still has the all-important stylus inside. 

The built-in stylus can be used with Google’s Circle to Search feature and with Motorola’s own Sketch to Image feature, which uses AI to turn your sketches into AI art for the Moto Note app. It can be used elsewhere on the phone, such as interacting with system settings and apps, and Motorola claims it is 6.4x more responsive than the previous Moto G Stylus’s pen.
