Moto Razr Plus (2025) expected to launch with a big hardware upgrade
Motorola is preparing to launch its 2025 phones and the model most likely to attract your attention is the Razr Plus (2025). Moto's flagship folding phone has previously leaked, showing us what to expect from the design – spoiler, it's not that different to the 2024 model – but there could be some surprises inside the phone.
The new information comes from the phone passing through TENAA – the Chinese telecommunications certification authority – in the form of the Moto Razr 60 Ultra, which is what the global version of this phone is expected to be called. The details were shared on X by Anvin.
One of the interesting details here is that the battery is said to have a minimum capacity of 4,275mAh, which could be listed as 4,500mAh typical capacity on the spec sheet. The reason that manufacturers often list a minimum figure that's different to the typical figure is they have to guarantee a particular level of performance. Battery performace changes based on manufacturing, age and environmental conditions.
This would be quite a lift over the 4,000mAh (typical) battery of the Razr Plus (2024). Given that the phone isn't expected to increase in size, it's great that there's going to be a more battery power.
So what do we know about the Moto Razr Plus (2025) so far? The phone is expected to have much the same design as it did previously, weighing 199g and measuring 171.48 x 73.99 x 7.29mm unfolded, so it may be a little thicker than previously.
It's expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, so this is going to be a flagship-grade folding phone and a respectable upgrade from the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the previous phone. There will be a 6.96-inch folding display and a 4-inch external display, wrapping around those cameras on the cover.
Those two cameras are expected to be 50-megapixels each (main and telephoto), with a third 50-megapixel sensor on the front too, as we saw previously.
The next Motorola folding phone is expected to launch slightly earlier in 2025 – the last model was released in June 2024, but we're expecting to see the new Moto Razr Plus in April.
We'll bring you all the details when this phone goes official.

Iron ore pessimism subsides despite looming Simandou supply
By Amy Lv and Hongmei Li SINGAPORE (Reuters) -The prospects for iron ore prices are improving thanks to a lower than expected global surplus this year, analysts and traders say, though looming new supply from the giant Simandou project in Guinea remains a long-term downside risk for prices. Analysts and traders have cut their oversupply forecasts for this year to between 20 million and 30 million metric tons, from 50 million tons earlier this year, according to more than a dozen interviews at the flagship Singapore International Ferrous Week conference this week. That is because demand has been surprisingly resilient so far this year thanks to robust steel exports as buyers stocked up amid signs of an escalating global trade war, while cyclones disrupted supply in major producer Australia. In the first four months of 2025, China's iron ore imports slid 5.5% year-on-year while its crude steel output ticked up 0.4%, official data showed. Iron ore prices have held well above $90 per ton, below which high-cost miners struggle to break even, despite trade tensions between the world's top two economies that have fueled concerns about the outlook for steel demand. That has led analysts and traders to revise up their bearish-case pricing scenarios to between $80 and $85 per ton versus $75 or lower at the start of the year. Medium term demand for iron ore should remain firm because China's young fleet of blast furnaces will require iron ore for at least another decade, said analysts. "There won't be any big reduction in the number of blast furnaces in China by 2035 from the perspective of the life cycle of the currently running equipment, meaning that iron ore procurement will hover at a relatively high level," Long Hongming, a professor from Anhui University of Technology, told the conference on Tuesday. SIMANDOU Simandou, one of the world's largest high-grade iron ore mines, will start shipping ore in November, and its entry into the global market is expected to aggravate the supply glut starting 2026. However, the increasingly hostile attitude of Guinea's military government, which recently cancelled 129 minerals exploration permits and is locked in a standoff with Emirates Global Aluminium, raised concerns among traders, miners, analysts and steel mills at the conference in Singapore. Participants questioned whether the government's activist stance could affect how smoothly the project will be able to ramp up to its full production of 120 million tons a year. Simandou is a joint venture between Rio Tinto, the world's largest iron ore miner, and Chinese companies including China Baowu, the world's largest steelmaker by output.

Foreign-branded mobile phone sales in China edge up in April
BEIJING (Reuters) -Sales of foreign-branded mobile phones in China, including Apple Inc's iPhones, edged up in April, according to data released by a government-affiliated research company on Friday. Calculations based on the data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) showed that April shipments of foreign-branded phones in China rose to 3.52 million units from 3.50 million a year earlier. As the largest foreign mobile phone maker in China's smartphone-dominated market, Apple's performance plays a significant role in the overall data on foreign-branded phone sales in the country. The uptick in April comes after a sluggish first quarter in which Apple's phone sales in China dropped 9%. Apple has faced increased competition from domestic rivals and has resorted to price cuts to stay competitive. Chinese e-commerce platforms are offering discounts of up to 2,530 yuan ($351) on Apple's latest iPhone 16 models earlier this month.
