It seems relatively uncontroversial to say that Motorola’s smartphone efforts for the Razr series have been a little lackluster, but that may change with the third phone in the newest Razr line. While nothing’s been officially confirmed yet, it would seem that the Razr 3 will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ processor, putting it miles ahead of the Razr 1 and 2 in terms of power.
The previous two Razr smartphones left a lot to be desired in a few different areas; however, the poor processing power in both devices was something of a dealbreaker for many potential buyers. The new technical information comes from a teaser posted to the Chinese social media site Weibo by Motorola general manager Shen Jin. The image, seen above, showcases the latest Snapdragon processor being illuminated by what looks like a flip phone in the process of being opened.
Although the post doesn’t mention the Razr 3 directly, the imagery of a Motorola flip phone lighting up the Snapdragon processor and the fact that Jin says “the new phone feels really good” imply that the post is referencing the Razr 3. It seems like a safe assumption to make given that several rumors suggest the new flip phone will be coming sometime between June and August of this year. If that’s truly the case, then the teaser image lines up with a possible incoming announcement.
Flip phone fans are hopeful the Motorola Razr 3 will be kitted with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ because of the poor performance that afflicted the previous Razr smartphones. If the new Razr does feature a competent processor, then the device could become a new Motorola icon like the classic Razr once was in the days before touchscreens.
At this point, all fans can do is wait for more concrete information about the Razr 3 to drop, but so far, the signs seem to point to Motorola launching a device of higher quality. Hopefully, when the rest of the specs are revealed, they’ll reflect what fans have come to expect from flagship devices and will put the days of disappointing Razr launches behind us.
Motorola faces a serious challenge in the world of foldables though, with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 both commanding most of the attention.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
