Motorola has unveiled three new foldable phones — the Razr 2025, Razr Plus 2025, and Razr Ultra 2025 — alongside the new Moto Buds Loop earbuds, the Moto Watch Fit smartwatch, and more. The three new Razr phones are built with AI in mind, and we learned that they also feature several firsts for AI in smartphones.

A choice of AI platforms

Out of the box, all three Razr devices come preinstalled with Google Gemini as the default voice assistant. However, in addition to this, all three devices also have access to rival AI platforms, including Perplexity and Microsoft CoPilot. If you buy one of the new Razr models, you’ll also get access to three months of Perplexity Pro for free.

Each phone uses a different chipset and therefore has different capabilities when it comes to running complex LLM models on-device.

The Razr Ultra 2025 is the only model to use the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which also gives it access to a neural processing unit with 80 TOPS of performance. This means that it’s also the only phone capable of running Meta’s Llama 3.2 model, which is powering Motorola’s new Look and Talk feature.

New Moto AI features

The new feature enables you to interact with Moto AI without touching the screen or using voice commands when using the Razr Ultra 2025 in stand or tent mode. This means you can instantly access Moto AI features at a glance without needing to activate them. For those who prefer, you can also activate these features by pressing and holding the dedicated AI key.

The new Razr 2025 series comes equipped with a range of new Moto AI features. The Look and Talk feature is exclusive to the Razr Ultra 2025, but all three devices also gain access to upgraded versions of the original Moto AI features.

These include Catch Me Up to summarize notifications, Remember This to save and easily recall screenshots, and Pay Attention to start a voice recording complete with instant transcription. 

When can you get these devices?

All three devices are also the first to debut new Moto AI 2.0 features, including Next Move, which reads what’s on your screen and recommends next steps, such as creating a music playlist, generating images with Image Studio, or saving important details to recall them later easily.

Pre-orders for the new Motorola Razr 2025 line-up open on May 7, starting at $699.99, with all three devices on sale on May 15.

Discord calls finally get end-to-end encryption, but your DMs didn’t make the cut 
Discord spent three years building one of the most cross-platform encryption systems ever shipped, and it doesn’t cover the part of the app that forms the basis of day-to-day communication.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Discord just completed something it started back in 2023, and while the result is genuinely impressive, there’s a big asterisk in place. 

As of early March 2026, every standard voice and video call on Discord is end-to-end encrypted (E2EE), and you don’t have to toggle any switches, as the feature is enabled by default. The encryption is based on DAVE, which, for the uninitiated, is Discord’s own open-source protocol.

YouTube gets Gemini Omni for free, but its best AI search features stay behind a paywall
Google I/O 2026 gave YouTube users a free AI-powered creative studio in one hand and a paywalled search upgrade in the other.
Text, Person, Machine

At the I/O 2026, Google rebuilt two of YouTube’s core experiences from the ground up, and the results look genuinely useful. First, YouTube search is getting a new feature called Ask YouTube, which is more like AI Mode, but for the vast library of videos on the platform.

Then there’s Gemini Omni, Google’s “create anything from anything” tool, which will be available in the YouTube Shorts Remix and Create app, the most disruptive announcement for creators. However, while Omni remains free for now, Ask YouTube is locked behind a paywall.
