Motorola shared an image showcasing its own new foldable phone model during Apple’s event where the iPhone Duo model was announced. With this new device, the company is pursuing a strategy that highlights its long-standing experience in the foldable phone market.

Apple introduced the iPhone 18 Pro, new AirPods, Apple Watch models, and its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, at the event. Motorola responded by posting a striking image on the social media platform X.

Motorola’s New Move

The shared image included the phrase “the new is in their hands, the iconic is in ours.” This message directly refers to Motorola’s Razr series history and its long-standing presence in foldable phone technology.

The video showcased a wide range of foldable Android devices, from Razr models of the early 2000s to today’s contemporary Android foldable devices. At the end of the presentation, there was a brief glimpse of the large-screen foldable phone that was leaked last week and is now yet to be officially announced.

With this move, Motorola implies that Apple’s entry into the foldable phone market was too late. The company argues that it has further enhanced an experience users already know from the Razr series.

The text in the video states that the experience offered when the phone is closed is unique to users. Motorola indicates that this new device will continue the legacy of the Razr series and open a new chapter in the world of technology.

Design and Expectations

The leaked device, briefly seen in the image, has a form factor similar to Apple’s new iPhone Duo model. The device offers a passport-style design, close to a square, reminiscent of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8.

The video shows the device with a black body and a horizontal camera bar on the back. Shown with the screens off, the device remains on the screen for only 12 frames.

It is not yet clear whether the leaks regarding the design of this new device came from Motorola or outside the company. However, today’s image seems to support the accuracy of previously leaked drawings.

While Apple’s iPhone Duo model will be sold at prices starting from $2,000, Motorola’s new device is expected to have a more affordable price tag. Although an official launch date has not yet been announced, the device is expected to be introduced in the coming months.
