Motorola is apparently working on launching the Motorola Razr Plus 2023 sometime later this year. Rumours suggest the phone will have a clamshell-style foldable phone and pack a bigger cover display and hardware improvements.
Now, MySmartPrice has exclusively reported that the company is also working on an affordable Razr foldable, dubbed the Motorola Razr Lite.
As the name suggests, the foldable will sit below the premium model. The report further reveals some key details of the phone in the form of 5K renders, courtesy of OnLeaks.
Motorola is gearing up for the launch of the Razr Plus 2023 later this year. The new clamshell-style foldable phone is tipped to launch with a bigger cover display and some key upgrades under the hood. It will be Motorola’s most premium foldable offering.
The company is also working on an affordable version of its Razr foldable phone. Industry Sources learnt about the launch of a new foldable phone called the Motorola Razr Lite.
The upcoming Razr Lite, as the name suggests, will sit below the premium sibling Razr Plus 2023.
It is likely that the phone might alternatively debut without the “Lite” moniker at the end and the company might simply call it the Motorola Razr 2023. There are no official details about the phone’s launch timeline. Meanwhile, we bring to you some exclusive details about the Razr Lite 2023.
Tipster OnLeaks, who recently revealed the exclusive design renders and details about the Google Pixel 7a, has now collaborated with MySmartPrice to give you the first look at the Motorola Razr Lite.
Let’s take a look at the Motorola Razr Lite design renders, specifications and other details leaked ahead of the launch.
Motorola Razr Lite (Razr 2023)
The Motorola Razr 2023 renders show the phone will have a clamshell-style folding mechanism. The phone has a punch-hole cutout at the top centre and slim bezels around the display. This should offer a good viewing experience during media consumption or gaming.
There is a tiny cover display. Considering the size is considerably small, it should probably have limited tasks like display time, notifications and incoming call alerts. The cover screen is comparatively smaller than OPPO Find N2 Flip or the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4.
There is a dual-camera setup and an LED flash beside the cover display. Interestingly, the frame is curved and there are antenna lines.
The report clarifies that the design renders are based on low-quality real-life images of the testing stage prototype. While it is possible that the design might be largely identical, there might be some subtle changes in the final product. We can see the phone in Black colour but there could be other options at launch.
That pretty much covers the design. Unfortunately, the report doesn’t reveal anything about the specifications but we’re hoping to learn more details in the days to come so stick around.
This is Your First Look at the Motorola Razr Lite
The Motorola Razr Lite 2023 will be launching soon. The foldable phone will sit below the Razr Plus 2023, which is also expected to debut soon. OnLeaks, our reliable source for the leak, has revealed the key design details of the Razr Lite 2023 foldable phone.
As seen in the design renders below, the Razr Lite 2023 will have a clamshell-style folding mechanism. The foldable display of the Razr Lite 2023 has a hole-punch cutout at the top centre. We can also see the bezels around the display being fairly thin, which should help offer an immersive viewing experience.
On the outside, there is a tiny cover display. The design renders show that the cover display might be useful for a limited number of tasks, such as displaying the time or maybe checking notifications or incoming calls.
The display is quite small compared to the likes of the Oppo Find N2 Flip and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4.
The upcoming Vivo X Flip also seemingly has a bigger display than the one seen in the Razr Lite 2023. There is a dual-camera setup next to the cover display of the Razr Lite 2023. The LED flash module is also placed below the camera sensors.
The frame is curved and has antenna lines of it, suggesting the use of metal. It is worth noting that the design renders are based on low-quality, real-life pictures of a testing stage prototype.
Therefore, it is likely that some details depicted in these renders may differ a bit compared to the final product.
Also, as mentioned above, the device might be called the Razr Lite 2023 or simply Razr
2023. At the time of writing this, we cannot confirm the official marketing name of the device. Other details about the upcoming foldable phone from Motorola are under wraps.

Faqs on Motorola Razr 2023
1) How is the display of Motorola Razr 2023?
Ans) The cover display of the device Motorola Razr 2023 occupies almost the whole top rear panel, which has a dual camera setup alongside an LED flash. The exact size of the cover display is unknown at the moment, but we can expect it to be around 3.26-inch, much like the one found on the OPPO Find N2 Flip.
Moving on to the main display, strangely, the Motorola Razr 2023 does not appear to have any sort of cutout for the selfie camera, which could either mean that the device might feature an under-display front camera or might skip it entirely.
The latter is also a plausible theory, considering the fact that the outer cover display could potentially be used as a viewfinder for taking selfies, that too via the device’s main camera.
This could eliminate the need for a hole in the display, thereby ensuring a more immersive viewing experience.
2) How is the design of Motorola Razr 2023?
Ans) The Motorola Razr 2023 design renders have leaked ahead of the foldable phone’s official launch. The device will have a big cover display. The leaked renders of the upcoming Motorola foldable phone were uploaded by tipster Evan Blass.
The renders show that the cover display almost occupies the whole top rear panel shell.
The foldable phone’s outer display will have three cutouts at the bottom right. These are for the dual-camera setup and an LED flash.
The exact size of the cover display is unknown. However, by the looks of it, the Razr 2023 might have a cover display bigger than the OPPO Find N2 Flip, which has a 3.26-inch outer screen.
On the inside, the phone does not have any cutout for the front camera, according to the leaked design renders shared by The Tech Outlook.
It could be possible that Motorola launches the phone with an under-screen front camera or none at all. And it might make sense as the cover display itself is large enough to be used as a viewfinder for clicking selfies.
This will also help get an immersive viewing experience when using the foldable screen.
The bezels around the foldable display are fairly narrow.
The frame is also curved, which should help offer comfortable grip. At the moment, no specifications of the phone have leaked online.
3) What are the details Motorola Razr+ 2023 3C, EEC Certified ?
Ans) The Motorola Razr+ 2023 will take on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and OPPO Find N2 Flip when it is launched in China and other markets.
Ahead of the launch, the phone has been spotted on the 3C certification website.
As per the listing, the phone has the model number XT-2321-2. The listing reveals that the Razr+ 2023 will offer support for 33W fast charging.
In addition to the 3C certification, the foldable phone from Motorola also visited the EEC certification website.
While the EEC listing does not confirm any details other than its model number, it does hint at an imminent launch of the phone.
The phone was recently spotted on the FCC certification website, which revealed that it will pack a dual-cell battery.
The device will have two cells in a combination of 2850mAh and 790mAh. This, in total, would be 3640mAh.
The Razr Plus 2023 will have a slightly bigger battery than the outgoing model, which came with a 3500mAh battery.
Some other details about the foldable phone have leaked in the past. The phone has a big cover display that covers almost the entire top half of the rear panel when unfolded.
The remaining half of the phone will have a magenta colour back panel. At the top of the cover screen are cutouts for the dual-camera setup with an LED flash.
In addition to this, the phone is said to sport a 6.7/ 6.8-inch foldable OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution.
The front camera will be located under the screen. Other details about the Razr Plus 2023 are unknown.
