Motorola Razr+ leak reveals telephoto camera and more

Ahead of its debut next week, a new leak has revealed that the upcoming Motorola Razr+ (2024) will upgrade the camera with a telephoto lens, improve water resistance, and of course, add some AI.

Previous leaks of Motorola's upcoming Razr+ haven't revealed any meaningful changes to the foldable flip phone. While the cheaper model gets a full-size cover display, the flagship only gets a spec bump. But a leaked official-looking video has revealed some interesting details.

Shared by @MysteryLupin on Twitter/X, the video begins by showing the cover display again. The bezels seem to be smaller this time, but it doesn't seem to be a big difference.

Second, it mentions improved water resistance, claiming “underwater protection.” The disclaimer at the bottom of the video mentions IPX8 resistance, which is a mixed bag in terms of improvements. The previous model boasted IP52 dust and water resistance which meant splashes weren't an issue, but full water submersion was. can The most important thing is that it has dust protection. Many foldables do not have dust protection, for example, Samsung only has water protection. IPX8 matches Samsung's foldable, but it is not clear whether this will result in any problems with dust.

The video then moves on to the camera. This suggests that at the hardware level, one of the cameras will offer telephoto zoom. The previous Razr+ had a standard camera along with an ultrawide, as most dual-camera devices opt for these days. Telephoto cameras are quite rare on foldable flip phones, so this is a welcome addition with the new Motorola Razr+, but it's unclear if it comes at the expense of the ultrawide shooter.

And yes, there is mention of AI. The camera is apparently “AI-powered” and the device includes “Moto AI”. Motorola has introduced AI features in some of its international releases before, but this is a first in the US.
