Blass also leaked the official marketing materials for the Razr 40 Ultra, which corroborate previous design leaks.

Additionally, the leakster posted a couple of videos showing different use cases of the Razr 40 Ultra’s cover screen, rumored to measure 3.5″ diagonally. You can watch them here and here if you are already following Blass.

Motorola is yet to divulge anything about the Razr 40 duo, but you can check the Razr 40 Ultra’s leaked specs here. The smartphone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and pack a 3,640 mAh battery with 33W charging. However, some rumors claim it will come with a 2,850 mAh cell.

Motorola Razr 40 Ultra is set to launch on June 1st globally alongside the vanilla Razr 40. Various leaks and renders have already revealed quite a bit about the phones.

Now that we are just days away from the official announcement, there’s hardly anything left outside of the price. There are speculations the device will be called Motorola Razr+ in the US market.

Noted leakster, @evleaks shared the official promo render videos of the foldable phones. The promo videos show the phone will be available in Red, Grey, and likely a Black colour option as well.

Motorola Razr 40 Ultra Design

Motorola Razr 40 Ultra’s main highlight is the rear secondary screen, which is touted to be the largest on any clamshell foldable. Rumours have it that this screen will sport a 3.5-inch size.
This screen real estate will allow users to play games (select ones), reply to messages, click selfies with a viewfinder screen, and much more.

As for the rest of the design, the volume rocker and power buttons are on the right edge. We can see a centre-positioned punch-hole cutout for the selfie shooter. There could be an in-display fingerprint sensor for security.

The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra or Razr Pro is surely turning out to be a very interesting foldable with plenty of hardware upgrades. Turns out, there’s more to it when it comes to the features that its large outer display will bring.

While previous leaks have showcased the phone’s colour options via leaked renders, there’s now a new leak, which has suggested not just the design of the phone, but also the features enabled by its larger outer display. Meanwhile, Motorola has also finally announced a launch date.

Motorola via its official Twitter handle put out a teaser video showing a silhouette of two foldables smartphones, which could be the expected Motorola Razr 40 Ultra or Razr Pro and the Razr 2023.

Also shown in the short promo video is a date, which is expected to be for a global launch event. Motorola has set June 1 as the launch date for its upcoming Razr foldables.

Shortly after, Motorola USA also seemed to have confirmed the same by retweeting the same tweet, hinting that the device could be coming to the US market as well.

A few hours prior to Motorola making the launch timeline official, popular tipster Evan Blass released a bunch of promotional images of the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra (or Razr Pro), that suggest the phone’s design and the features of its outer display as well.

The phone’s design has been leaked out in the past by the same source. However, these were renders. The new images of the phone show a grippy faux leather back, particularly for the Magenta (or Red) finish. The other phones appear to have a regular matte finish, which could be made out of glass.

The outer glass covering the large cover display (which is seen with two embedded cameras) also appears to have curved edges as per the leaked promotional images.

In terms of features, the images show the outer display being used for snapping selfies using the embedded primary cameras and also as a viewfinder for the subject when recording video.

Other applications for the outer display could include showcasing the album artwork with playback controls while playing music, viewing a video in full screen (with a scrubber), making payments, accessing the app drawer, and even playing a mini game, as seen in the images.

Lastly there’s also an image showcasing a very Samsung Galaxy Z Flip-like flex mode for making video calls, with the top part of the phone remaining upright when using the same. One of the promotional images also shows the Razr Pro alongside the base Razr, which is expected to be an affordable foldable option in the new lineup from Motorola.

As per previously leaked details, the Razr 40 Ultra is expected to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and will offer up to 12GB RAM and 512GB of storage. Its outer cover display could have a resolution of 1056×1066-pixels while the inner display could get 120Hz refresh rate and a 2640×1080-pixel resolution.

The cameras embedded in the outer display are expected to have 12-megapixel and 13-megapixel sensors. The camera embedded in the inner foldable display is expected to have a 32-megapixel sensor.

In contrast, there’s very little that’s known about the Razr 2023 or the more affordable Razr. A recent report also leaked similar images showcasing a faux leather front and rear panels with a tiny outer display on the front panel alongside its dual primary camera setup.

The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra is expected to launch in global markets as it has been spotted on various certification websites. The handset is expected be launched in China with the Motorola Razr Plus moniker, while the phone has shown up as the Razr 40 Ultra on certification websites in Canada, UAE, and India.

It has also cleared its BIS certification in India, which also hints at an India launch happening soon.

2) Moto Razr 40 name and cover display information leaks. Details?

Ans) Perhaps one of the most interesting use cases of the foldable factor is its ability to breathe new life into the iconic clamshell phone designs of the past. This is precisely what Motorola did though its Razr lineup.

The latest additions to the latter, the Moto Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra, are expected to arrive next month and now prominent tech tipster Evan Blass has treated us with a new set of promotional materials. They were shared in a tweet via his official (and private) Twitter account, @EvLeaks.

Among the highlights, is a short video of the Moto Razr 40 Ultra, which showcases the device running full apps and being able to display a (small) keyboard. For reference, the main selling point of the higher-end model is its superior cover display, which will be much larger than the one found on the vanilla Moto Razr 40.

Another detail brought forward by Evan Blass is the fact that the premium Moto Razr 40 variant will have different names depending on the market. In the US, the device will be marketed as the Moto Razr +, while it will be known globally as the Moto Razr 40 Ultra.

It should be noted that Motorola has opted for an interesting approach to its lineup structure. Instead of launching a clamshell and a notepad foldable duo, the company has decided to release two clamshells – a high-end one, and another, more affordable one.

This strategy has never been explored when it comes to foldables and the Moto Razr 40 will be the first ‘entry-level’ device of its kind. The Moto Razr 40 Plus / Ultra is expected to cost about $1000 at launch, while the price tag of the lower-end model is currently unknown. Both devices should be unveiled on June 1st, with general availability beginning shortly after.
