Motorola is gearing up for the next chapter in its foldable phone journey with the upcoming Motorola Razr 60 foldable phone, the successor to the Razr 50. While the Ultra model has already generated significant buzz, new leaks now reveal substantial details about the standard (vanilla) Razr 60 — including its compact design, improved durability, and Pantone-endorsed aesthetics.
Three Pantone-Validated Colorways
Continuing its creative partnership with Pantone, the Razr 60 will launch in three distinct finishes:
- Pantone Gibraltar Sea – features a unique nylon-inspired texture
- Pantone Lightest Sky – offers an acetate finish for a smooth, premium look
- Spring Bud – a fresh green hue likely to attract attention in youthful markets
These colorways are complemented by Motorola’s P-OLED HDR10+ foldable display, offering vibrant visuals with certified color accuracy.
Compact Foldable Design with Smaller Inner Display
Motorola is taking a slightly different approach with the Razr 60 by reducing the inner screen size from 6.9 inches (seen on the Razr 50) to 6.7 inches. This move hints at a more compact and pocket-friendly design, setting it apart from its Ultra counterpart, which is expected to retain the larger display.
There’s no confirmation yet on the external (cover) display size, but based on previous models — 3.6” on the Razr 50 and 4.0” on the 50 Ultra — we may expect a slightly smaller cover screen as well.
IP48 Rating and Wet Touch Support
In a notable upgrade, the Razr 60 is rumored to feature IP48 ingress protection — making it the first non-Samsung foldable to reach that milestone. The “4” rating implies resistance to small solid particles, while the “8” ensures protection against water immersion.
Moreover, the foldable screen will reportedly support touch input even when wet, enhancing usability in real-world conditions.
Battery and Charging
Motorola is giving the Razr 60 a battery boost, increasing the capacity from 4,200mAh (in the Razr 50) to 4,500mAh, while maintaining its 30W wired charging speed. Wireless charging support has not yet been confirmed.
Hardware and Performance
On the performance front, there’s minimal change. The Razr 60 will use MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400X, which is largely similar to the 7300X found in its predecessor.
- RAM: Up to 12GB LPDDR4X
- Storage: Up to 512GB (UFS 2.2 or 3.1 unconfirmed)
This setup suggests that the Razr 60 is more of a refined refresh than a performance overhaul.
Camera Improvements
While camera specs remain under wraps, leaks suggest:
- Main Camera: 50MP with OIS (new sensor may improve low-light performance)
- Ultra-Wide Camera: Improved optics, but resolution unconfirmed
- Front Camera (Selfie): 32MP, likely positioned inside the foldable display
This is similar to the Razr 50, with slight hardware tweaks to enhance photography in low-light conditions.
Launch Timeline
The Motorola Razr 50 series launched in late June 2024, so the Razr 60 lineup is expected to follow a similar mid-year release window — potentially late June or early July 2025. Official teasers and event confirmations are likely to surface in the coming weeks.
Final Thoughts
The Motorola Razr 60 foldable phone looks to be a thoughtful refinement of its predecessor, with design-forward elements, IP48 durability, and a larger battery in a more compact form. While performance upgrades may be minor, the device could appeal strongly to users seeking an elegant, durable foldable experience at a slightly lower price point than the Ultra variant.
Stay tuned as more information unfolds leading up to the official launch.
