We already have a good idea of what to expect from the 2023 Moto Razr series, the fourth edition of Motorola's line of foldable phones. Thanks to some screenshots shared by Evan Blass in April, we got a taste of a massive cover screen, supposedly for a higher-quality version called the Moto Razr 40 Ultra. A few days ago, the more affordable sibling posed for the camera in a series of leaked marketing images. These leaks indicate that the Razr 40 series is ready for release and Motorola has just confirmed the date.

Motorola is teasing two foldable clamshell models on its Twitter, likely the Razr 40 and 40 Ultra, along with a caption that reads: “Flip the script. June 1st.” It’s safe to say that the phone maker’s next foldable phone will debut on that date.
This means the 2023 Razr will launch a little earlier than the previous model – the 2022 Moto Razr was unveiled in August last year. If Motorola follows the same launch pattern as last year, the Razr 40 series could debut in China before the global launch.
Evan Blass previously leaked the release date of the upcoming device and Motorola's teaser only confirms this rumor. The same leaker has just also revealed a bunch of images showing the large cover screen of the Razr 40 Ultra in all its glory. The leak gives us the best possible look at the premium foldable model in cherry red, black, white and blue.
Suggestion: The foldable Motorola Razr+ (2023) is expected to be released "soon"
However, there is still no official information regarding the phone's specifications. It is said that the Ultra variant will not have an upgraded processor, but will remain with the same Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 found in last year's model. It is also said that it will feature a 3,640 mAh battery with 33 W fast‑charging support, which represents a significant upgrade compared to the 2022 Razr.
While it's not as fast as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the older Snapdragon chipset isn't bad at all when it comes to gaming and multitasking. It's certain that this year's Razr models will be able to compete with many of the top Android phones released so far this year.
However, with Samsung's upcoming foldable devices, notably the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5, set to launch in just over two months, the next Razr could face an uphill battle.
