NEW YORK, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 05: Media attending Verizon's More Holiday Magic Event at Manhatta get a sneak peek of the Motorola Razr at Manhatta on December 05, 2019 in New York City.
Although Moto has yet to confirm the release date of its new Razr phone, an early leak hints that it would be before the Galaxy Z Flip 5 gets the shimmer of the spotlight.
Motorola Razr 2023 Release Date
As per a recent report by GizmoChina, the Motorola Razr (2022), which debuted last year, is getting a newer sibling this year.
The successor of 2022 foldable reportedly brings a few upgrades, as it attempts to compete with the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5, which Samsung plans to release this year.
A new leak points out that the Motorola Razr 2023 debuts in the middle of the year even before Samsung introduces its latest foldable devices, which may include the Galaxy Z Fold 5.
GizmoChina notes in its story that the leak suggests that the all-new Motorola Razr releases sometime in July 2023.
When is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Debuting?
On the other hand, early leaks of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 hint at a much later release date compared to the Razr 2023.
The South Korean phone maker is expected to introduce its all-new clamshell foldable in August this year. It is worth noting that the current-generation Z Flip also debuted in late August 2022. It looks like the tech juggernaut is maintaining this schedule.
With that, Motorola is likely planning to release its new foldable phone ahead of Samsung's debut. Potentially a month earlier before the all-new Z Flip 5 shows up.
Last year, Motorola also launched the Motorola Razr 2022 slightly earlier than the Galaxy foldable. However, it was in the same month as the Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4.
If the new leak holds up, it might be a month earlier before Samsung steals the spotlight this year.
