Motorola is preparing to launch its 2025 phones and the model most likely to attract your attention is the Razr Plus (2025). Moto’s flagship folding phone has previously leaked, showing us what to expect from the design – spoiler, it’s not that different to the 2024 model – but there could be some surprises inside the phone.

The new information comes from the phone passing through TENAA – the Chinese telecommunications certification authority – in the form of the Moto Razr 60 Ultra, which is what the global version of this phone is expected to be called. The details were shared on X by Anvin.

One of the interesting details here is that the battery is said to have a minimum capacity of 4,275mAh, which could be listed as 4,500mAh typical capacity on the spec sheet. The reason that manufacturers often list a minimum figure that’s different to the typical figure is they have to guarantee a particular level of performance. Battery performace changes based on manufacturing, age and environmental conditions.

This would be quite a lift over the 4,000mAh (typical) battery of the Razr Plus (2024). Given that the phone isn’t expected to increase in size, it’s great that there’s going to be a more battery power.

Motorola Razr Plus (2025) specifications detailed

So what do we know about the Moto Razr Plus (2025) so far? The phone is expected to have much the same design as it did previously, weighing 199g and measuring 171.48 x 73.99 x 7.29mm unfolded, so it may be a little thicker than previously.

It’s expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, so this is going to be a flagship-grade folding phone and a respectable upgrade from the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the previous phone. There will be a 6.96-inch folding display and a 4-inch external display, wrapping around those cameras on the cover.

Those two cameras are expected to be 50-megapixels each (main and telephoto), with a third 50-megapixel sensor on the front too, as we saw previously.

The next Motorola folding phone is expected to launch slightly earlier in 2025 – the last model was released in June 2024, but we’re expecting to see the new Moto Razr Plus in April.

We’ll bring you all the details when this phone goes official.

Your old iPhone may have a security flaw Apple can’t fix
Security researchers find a new BootROM exploit affecting iPhones with A12 and A13 chips

iPhones are widely seen as some of the most secure smartphones for everyday users. Still, Apple devices are not immune to serious security flaws, as recent threats like Coruna and DarkSword have shown. Now, security researchers at Paradigm Shift have detailed a different kind of exploit called usbliter8, which affects some older iPhones and targets a deep part of Apple’s startup process known as the BootROM.

The BootROM is the basic startup code that runs before iOS loads. It helps the iPhone begin the boot process and verify what should run next. Because it is built into the chip itself, it is much harder to fix than a normal iOS bug. Apple can usually patch software flaws through an update, but it cannot rewrite BootROM code on devices that have already shipped.

Caviar has made plenty of absurdly expensive custom phones before, but its latest iPhone accessory might be a crossover for the ages (literally). The company’s new Magnetic Custom Relict is a magnetic case for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and it costs $4,490. Yes, the price tag sounds absurd till you realize what the case includes. Embedded into the iPhone protective cover is a fragment of a Tyrannosaurus fossil set into the tip of its signature checkmark design.

It's more expensive than the phone it protects

Nothing just canceled its next CMF Phone, and the reason has nothing to do with the phone itself. 

The company's co-founder, Akis Evangelidis, confirmed on X that CMF won’t launch a new phone this year, citing the memory crisis, which appears to be worsening with each passing day.
