A new leak suggests the next flip phone from Motorola won't look dramatically different, but it could include some significant upgrades. The upcoming Motorola Razr (2026) has surfaced in a regulatory filing, offering an early look at its design, colors, and key hardware changes. Images from the Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center's website show a flip phone that looks almost identical to the Razr 2025.

The overall clamshell shape, hinge layout, and smaller external display remain largely unchanged from the previous generation. There is one clear visual change: a new purple finish. The phone comes in a light violet shade called Pantone African Violet, which Motorola hasn't used on recent Razr models. That color shift might sound minor, but Motorola has leaned heavily into Pantone partnerships for its designs lately, often using them to give each generation a distinct identity.

Under the hood, things get more interesting. The certification document suggests the Razr 2026 will run on an eight-core processor, though the listing doesn't reveal the exact chip. Based on the reported 2.75GHz clock speed, it could land somewhere in the range of MediaTek's Dimensity 8000 series, a step up from the Dimensity 7400X used in the current model. Memory options might also get a big boost. The documents mention versions with up to 18GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, which is a major increase from the usual 8GB RAM and 256GB storage in earlier Razr models.
