Motorola’s vertically folding RAZR shown in leaked renders

Press renders claiming to show the unannounced Motorola RAZR V4 have appeared online in a now-deleted post on Weibo. The images were later reuploaded to SlashLeaks. If real, the renders are our first look at the phone’s design outside of a patent, and they appear to confirm its notched folding screen design. GSMArena notes that the images show a wireless charging stand that’s included with the phone alongside a typical range of accessories, all housed within a neat triangular prism-shaped package.

The look of the RAZR shown in the renders lines up with the design shown in a patent spotted back in January, although it’s impossible to see if it confirms a separate rumor about a second display on the front of the device. Unlike its competitors from Samsung and Huawei, the RAZR appears to fold vertically rather than horizontally. The design means it’s a phone that folds to become more portable, rather than a tablet that folds to be the size of a phone. According to The Wall Street Journal’s original report, the phone will cost $1,500 when it’s eventually released.
