Motorola has announced its next big event, which will take place on June 25, 2024. With the sayings “Flip the script” and “Intelligence inside and out,” we can safely assume the event will showcase the next Razr lineup and some AI features.

In its post on X (formerly Twitter), Motorola simply teases that its next event is coming next week. Again, the slogan for this is “Flip the script,” so it’s pretty much guaranteed that we are going to see the Razr 2024 and Razr Plus 2024, as those devices are teased in the clip, too.

Another big trend in mobile has been the addition of AI, with even Apple being the latest to announce its own AI tools. It appears that Motorola is set on showing off a suite of AI features coming to the Razr lineup, as it teases “intelligence inside and out.”

We do know a few things about the next Razr series already, thanks to the rumor mill. The Razr 50 — likely to be called the Razr (2024) in the U.S. — will have a larger cover display than its predecessor, coming in at a 3.63-inch panel instead of a 1.5-inch panel like on the 2023 version. If Motorola keeps this budget-friendly option at the same $699 price, then this is a big improvement.

The higher-end Razr Plus (2024) may have a 4-inch cover display this year instead of the 3.6-inch display from the 2023 model. Both Razr models will feature a large 6.9-inch inner display with a better refresh rate than before.

Camera-wise, the Razr (2024) could be equipped with a 50-megapixel main camera and a 13MP telephoto camera. The Razr Plus would have a 50MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom.

On the inside, the Razr (2024) might have a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X chip with 8GB RAM, while the Razr Plus (2024) will have the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with 12GB RAM. The Razr will reportedly have a 4,200mAh battery, while the Plus will likely have an upgraded 4,000mAh battery with up to 45W wired charging speeds.

With only a week away from Motorola’s event, it won’t be long until we see the next generation of its popular flip phone.

Cracking your Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra screen could cost $639, so handle it carefully
Samsung's new numbers put an exact, and fairly painful, figure on just how much pricier.
Computer, Electronics, Tablet Computer

Cracking your foldable's screen has always been an expensive mistake, but Samsung just put an actual price on it this year, and believe me, it’s more expensive than I initially thought it would be. 

The company confirmed official repair pricing for the entire Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup, and fixing the inner display alone can cost more than some budget phones do new. Given that more people are buying into the category, making these revised repair costs all the more important to know before you take the plunge.

I’ve waited far too long for Pixels to get this stupidly simple gesture
Just ship the double-tap-to-lock gesture already Google.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Every time I switch from any Android phone to a Pixel, there's one small gesture missing that always annoys me. From a modern Galaxy phone or even a device from Xiaomi, I can double-tap an empty part of the home screen and immediately turn the display off. Samsung has offered a double-tap to turn off the screen since Android 11. On a Pixel, I still have to reach for the power button.

To be fair, Google isn't the only offender, and Motorola's stock Android phones, like the Razr Fold, also skip such a basic feature. But this might be changing soon. Android Authority has discovered updated code strings inside Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 pointing to Google’s long-in-development double-tap-to-sleep feature. Better still, Google appears to have expanded it beyond the lock screen and onto the home screen, which is exactly where I want it.

Samsung could double down on foldables in 2027 with five new reported models
The wide-format Galaxy Z Fold 8 sold well enough to convince Samsung the shape deserves two phones of its own next year.

Five different foldable phones in one launch cycle sounds like a lot, at least to me, but that’s reportedly what Samsung has planned for 2027. A new leak lays out a lineup nearly double the size of this year's three-phone spread. 

The Korean giant apparently wants to double down on the wide-format design buyers apparently can't get enough of. Two of them could share the wide-format, passport-shaped design that broke sales records this year.
