We’ve got more leaks of the upcoming Motorola Razr 2023 foldable brought to you – and it looks like the tiny screen on the outside of the device is going to be able to run full apps and even support a keyboard .
This comes from the famous tipster evan blass (via 9to5Google), who posted a slew of pictures and videos ahead of the official unveiling of the flip phone. We can see apps and games running full screen on the cover display, and a keyboard popping up.
Here on show is what looks like a mapping app, as well as an app that looks like TikTok. One of the videos shows a user tapping on the cover screen keyboard to reply to a contact in an instant messaging conversation.

These photos and videos look a lot like official promotional material designed by Motorola, so we’ll probably see something like them when the phone is unveiled. This is rumored to happen around August, a year after the Razr 2022.
Such full app support for the cover display is a welcome feature: it matches what we’ve seen on previous Razer Flip foldables, and it’s something you don’t get on similar phones from other manufacturers (eg Samsung Galaxy Z Flip) 4).
From what we’ve heard so far, it looks like the 2023 edition of the Motorola Razr is going to be a significant upgrade over its predecessor, and we’ve already seen photos of the handset flaunting a larger cover screen. ,
Analysis: What’s in a name?
Evan Blass is a leaker with a strong track record and we have no reason to doubt the information he shares with the media. In the same tweet thread as the images and video, Blass has also outlined how the Razr 2023’s branding is going to work.
As hinted earlier, we’re apparently going to get two Razr models in 2023 that differ in terms of specs and price, if not design. Blass says the more premium phones will be the Razr Plus in the US and the Razr 40 Ultra everywhere else.
That Razr 40 Ultra name has also surfaced before. Presumably the standard model will be the Razr in the US and the Razr 40 in other regions – we’ll have to wait and see which rumored specs apply to which handsets.
It’s a somewhat confusing approach, and we’re not entirely sure the reason for it – but it’s something Motorola has been doing for years. The recent Motorola Edge 40 Pro, for example, is known as the Edge Plus in the United States.
