The ever-adorable Moo lock screen

Were you considering Motorola’s Razr 2024 or Razr 2024 Plus but found the prices too high? You might be lucky, as more affordable versions could be released soon.
91Mobiles has discovered a listing for a new Motorola foldable device in the Wireless Power Consortium and SGS Fimko certifications. The Razr 50s Ultra may launch soon and be released alongside the previously rumored Razr 50s.
Given their names, the Razr 50s and Razr 50s Ultra are expected to be priced lower and have fewer features than the already released Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra, which were released in the U.S. as the Razr 2024 and Razr Plus 2024, respectively.
In addition to being listed on the WPC and SGS, the Razr 50s Ultra has also been spotted on the official Motorola U.S. website under the hearing aid compatibility section, with the model numbers XT2451-1 and XT2451-2.
According to 91mobile, the Razr 50s Ultras should look nearly identical to the Razr 50 Ultra. It appears to have a large flip-style foldable design, with a punch-hole cutout for the front-facing camera in the center. With narrow bezels throughout, the Razr 50s Ultra will likely feature a volume rocker and power button on the right edge with a SIM tray on the left side.
The back features a large secondary screen that occupies the upper part of the rear panel and extends to the hinge. Dual camera sensors and an LED flash are integrated into the screen. The lower portion of the back has a leather finish and displays the iconic Motorola dimple along with the Razr branding.
91mobileThe Razr 2024 and Razr Plus 2024, respectively, are clamshell foldable smartphones in the U.S. They offer a modern take on the classic Razr design. The Razr Plus 2024 stands out with its larger 4-inch external display, which allows for more functionality when the phone is closed, such as replying to messages and using apps. It also boasts a flagship Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, improved cameras (50MP main and 50MP telephoto), and faster 45W TurboPower charging.
In contrast, the Razr 2024 has a smaller 3.6-inch external display, a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 7300X processor, a different camera setup (50MP main and 13MP ultrawide), and slightly slower 30W charging.
In the U.S., the Razr 2024 is priced at $700, while the Razr 2024 Plus starts at $1,000. It’s unknown what the Razr 50s and Razr 50s Ultra will be called in the U.S. or what their price points are, which should be lower than those of the previous models.

Remember Moto AI? Motorola finally has an update on it
When Motorola launched the Razr Plus 2024 this year, it also mentioned some of its own AI-powered tools, appropriately named Moto AI. However, we’ve only seen Moto AI through a couple of image-generation tools like Magic Canvas and Style Sync. Now, Motorola has just announced at Lenovo Tech World 2024 that more Moto AI tools are coming, at least in beta form.
Motorola discussed some Moto AI features earlier this year, including Catch Me Up and Remember This. The Catch Me Up feature lets you get a prioritized summary of your notifications so you don’t have to scroll through a bunch of missed notifications. There is also Pay Attention, which helps users recall instructions or details without having to write notes or listen to long recordings. Remember This captures live moments or onscreen information when activated and saves it while providing AI-powered insights.

New photos give us another look at Samsung’s next Galaxy Z Fold
Leaked images of what appears to be a special edition of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 have surfaced, offering a few glimpses of the upcoming foldable phone. While the images don't reveal the complete picture, they confirm some key design elements and hint at potential color options. These images were posted on X by Evan Blass and later mentioned by Android Headlines.
One image showcased shows a prominent rear camera bump housing three lenses. While this confirms a triple-camera setup, it seems that a periscope telephoto lens won't be included, potentially disappointing those hoping for enhanced zoom capabilities.

Motorola might be making a foldable unlike any we’ve seen before
What do tiny motors, shape-shifting metal, and powerful sensors all have in common? They're part of a potential Motorola foldable phone. Foldable phones are nothing new, but their design and capabilities have come a long way since the days of the original flip phone. And now, 91Mobiles spotted a patent filing from Motorola that suggests an interesting design unlike anything we've seen before.
According to 91mobiles, the patent is titled "Autonomous form factor control of a foldable mobile device." Don't worry, you won't be tested on that. It basically boils down to a phone that can adjust its hinge position to help keep the user in the center of the frame, similar to Apple's Center Stage feature — except this is controlled through hardware, not software.
