In a recent leak, the upcoming Motorola Razr Plus 2025 showed up in a 'Rio Red' colorway.
Tipster Evan Blass took to X to show off full renders of the device from all angles in the red colorway.
The clamshell is expected to debut earlier in April instead of the usual launch in the summer.
Leaks of the upcoming Motorola Razr Plus 2025 keep coming in, one more revealing than the next. This time, we got to see the device in a whole new colorway, thanks to tipster Evan Blass.
Taking to X, Blass posted multiple images of the alleged Motorola Razr Plus 2025, also called the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra. We get to see the phone in a new hue, dubbed 'Rio Red.' These images didn't just show off the red colorway but also gave us images from multiple angles of what we could expect from the hardware aspect of the device.
From its looks, the new red Razr will also get a faux leather back, similar to the dark green colorway that leaked earlier this month. There also appears to be a new button on one side, which could be similar to the Quick Button found on the Motorola Edge 2024.
So far, from all the leaks collectively we see that this year's edition will look a lot like last year's phone, however in a more polished look with the leather back. But when it comes to specific design changes, previous leaks have hinted that the right edge houses the volume buttons and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner similar to the above images. At the bottom, we see a SIM slot, mic, USB-C port, and speaker next to each other.
On the display front, the device will supposedly stick with its 6.9-inch pOLED foldable display and a 4-inch OLED cover screen like the Razr Plus 2024. And like any new or upcoming phone on the market, the Moto Razr Plus 2025 could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, with the seven-core version specifically made for foldables.
On the camera front, the images indicate that it'll have a dual camera array. While we don't know much about the exact specs of the lens, we assume it could be a combination of a wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens, like its predecessor.
Other than that, the clamshell is rumored to get a 4,000mAh battery that will maintain support for 45W wired and 15W wireless charging speeds like its predecessor, which remains one of the best foldable phones on the market.

Turning the Red Planet green? It's time to take terraforming Mars seriously, scientists say
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The concept of terraforming Mars — transforming the planet's climate to support life as we know it — has long belonged to the realm of science fiction. But a new study argues that it's time to take the idea seriously. "Thirty years ago, terraforming Mars wasn't just hard — it was impossible," said Erika DeBenedictis, CEO of Pioneer Labs and lead author of the new paper. "But new technology like [SpaceX's] Starship and synthetic biology have now made it a real possibility." The paper debates the complex ethical questions that must be considered if we're to terraform Mars and lays the blueprint for a potential path forward. "Advocates argue that more life is better than less, and terraforming Mars could mark humanity's first act of planetary stewardship with a net positive environmental impact," said DeBenedictis. Put succinctly, "living planets are better than dead ones," said study co-author Edwin Kite, an associate professor at the University of Chicago. "We now know that Mars was habitable in the past, from data returned by the Mars rovers, so greening Mars could be viewed as the ultimate environmental restoration challenge." Though full terraforming may take centuries, if not millennia, the long-term goal would be a Mars with stable liquid water, breathable oxygen and a thriving ecosystem. In the short term, this might mean only small patches of microbial life; in the distant future, there could perhaps be human cities on the planet. And if we reach the scale of cities, perhaps that's a stepping stone to even more significant exploration for our species. "As we move out into the galaxy, we will need base camps, and a base camp on the scale of the galaxy is a habitable planet," said Kite. For co-author Robin Wordsworth, a professor of environmental and planetary science at Harvard, the argument for terraforming Mars goes beyond human colonization to the propagation of life in general. "I see humanity as part of the biosphere, not separate from it," he said. "Life is precious — we know of nowhere else in the universe where it exists — and we have a duty to conserve it on Earth, but also to consider how we could begin to propagate it to other worlds." It's not all about looking beyond the bounds of Earth; terraforming Mars could also help us solve climate and sustainability challenges at home, advocates say. Nina Lanza, a planetary scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and a co-author on the paper, sees Mars as a prime testbed for planetary engineering. "If we want to learn how to modify our environment here on Earth, to keep it in a configuration that suits us and other life forms, maybe it would be better to experiment on Mars and say, 'Look, does this work?'" she said. "I personally would like to be a little more conservative with our home planet. This is the only place we can live." There are technological lessons to be learned, too. "Concretely, developing and adopting green technology on Earth often falters because it must compete with dirtier alternatives that benefit from decades of infrastructure investment and entrenched interests," said DeBenedictis. "Mars is a unique target market because it has no oil, no existing infrastructure and no status quo. For this reason, developing green technologies for space is a powerful strategy for maturing it for use on Earth." But we should take a few lessons from "Jurassic Park" when thinking about terraforming, some scientists say: Before asking, "Could we?" we need to ask, "Should we?" "If we decide to terraform Mars, then we will really change it in ways that may or may not be reversible," said Lanza. "Mars is its own planet and has its own history. When we terraform, then we effectively don't have the opportunity to study that anymore, and we may lose knowledge about how planets form and evolve." Most dramatically, we may destroy potential evidence of ancient Martian life, if such evidence exists. "If we modify the environment on Mars, we're going to change the chemistry of the surface and of the subsurface, eventually," said Lanza, pointing out that such actions might erase any traces of life on Mars. "I can't say for certain. It's very complicated, but it's a risk." Terraforming Mars would require massive changes, namely the warming of the planet to support both oxygen-producing microbes and liquid water. While all the technologies to terraform Mars are not yet available, the authors of the paper propose three phases of development. First, scientists would use abiotic climate engineering techniques — such as deploying reflective solar sails, dispersing nanoparticles, or laying aerogel tiles — to warm the surface by at least 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), enough to melt subsurface ice and release trapped carbon dioxide. This warming would thicken the Martian atmosphere and potentially support the presence of stable liquid water. The second phase would introduce extremophile microbes — likely anaerobic and genetically engineered ones — capable of surviving in Mars' harsh conditions and kickstarting ecological succession. These organisms would begin producing oxygen and organic matter, slowly altering planetary chemistry. The third and longest phase would focus on building a complex biosphere, increasing atmospheric pressure and oxygen content to eventually support more advanced plant life, and, in the very long term, potentially allow humans to breathe unassisted.

"Answering the question of when and how to start making other worlds habitable requires a clear understanding of the costs and benefits, which can only be adequately assessed based on a combination of theory and experiments, with input from diverse fields including physics, chemistry, materials science and biology," said Kite. Right now, we need to continue to study Mars. Lanza advocates for the Mars Sample Return mission, a NASA-European Space Agency campaign to bring home material collected on the Red Planet by the Perseverance rover. "The samples are incredibly well documented and analyzed to the best of our ability on Mars," she said. "Now we need to bring those back, because that's going to help us answer some of these fundamental questions. What is Mars made out of? Are there traces of life?" And, as we continue to visit the Red Planet, we can put terraforming concepts into practice. "Upcoming Mars surface missions in 2028 or 2031 should include small-scale experiments to de-risk terraforming strategies, such as warming localized regions," said DeBenedictis. Then, of course, we need to continue to innovate new technologies that will allow us to terraform Mars in the future. All this is to say, while fully terraforming Mars might take generations, the decisions start now. "This is how we get from the imagination and the concept to some reality that has totally changed our world," said Lanza. "We should really keep doing science — it's transformational." The new study was published last month in the journal Nature Astronomy.

Galactus' MCU Appearance From Fantastic Four: First Steps Has Been Leaked In A Weird Way
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Devourer of Worlds is finally coming to one of the upcoming Marvel movies, and fans have been clamoring to see him in his fully glory. Galactus' first official character design from the highly anticipated Fantastic Four: First Steps appears to have leaked online ahead of its release on the 2025 movie schedule, but not through the usual route of a Marvel Studios press release or convention trailer. Instead, it popped up as part of a promotional campaign. The leak began gaining traction after X user @suesattorney posted new promo art showing the Marvel's pioneering quartet of heroes standing proudly in front of the Baxter Building, with an enormous, ominous version of Galactus looming in the sky above. The caption? 'New promo art for Fantastic Four: First Steps featuring Galactus for Snapple.' The post, which you can check out below, also included a second image showing Galactus in full, armor-clad form, surrounded by a cosmic swirl of purplish-black energy. There's a lot to look at here. The towering figure of Galactus bears an intricate, armor-like texture that some fans say evokes Death Star vibes, with deep grooves and plating that feel both ancient and cosmic. His iconic helmet—with the wide, forked design—remains intact. Observers were quick to point out that the villain's face closely resembles that of actor Ralph Ineson, who is set to portray the planet-eater. While there's been no official confirmation, the resemblance is convincing. Fans have been speculating about Galactus' MCU arrival since First Steps was announced, and it was revealed the colossal baddie and his herald, Silver Surfer, were cast as the big villains in the reboot. The first FF trailer only brought more hype. The First Family's solo entry in Disney's massive superhero franchise will allegedly have significant implications on the cinematic universe moving forward. Plus, we know the team will appear in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. In the forthcoming release, Galactus is reportedly headed to an alternate version of Earth already teased in trailers, one ripe for devouring. If the MCU iteration follows the classic comic roots, his arrival spells major trouble for the FF and the multiverse. Disney+: from $9.99 a month w/ ad-supported planAs you wait for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, you can grab a Disney+ subscription to check out other MCU content. An ad-supported plan starts at $9.99 a month, while the add-free one runs for $15.99 monthly. There's an annual membership as well, which costs $159.99 and can save customers 16%.View Deal This Snapple tie-in isn't the first strange leak for First Steps. Just last week, fans spotted an early wave of Funko Pop! figures that revealed even more about the film's direction, including the debut of Franklin Richards, the young son of Reed and Sue. That alone suggests the story might span multiple years—or timelines—moving from Sue's pregnancy (seen in the trailer) to their child's toddler years. Also worth noting: a leaked LEGO set in April may have given an even earlier glimpse at Galactus, but it lacked the detail in this new Snapple-backed artwork. With Fantastic Four: First Steps hitting theaters this July, Marvel fans won't have to wait long to see how it all plays out in the upcoming superhero movie. And suppose Galactus truly looks this imposing on-screen. In that case, Marvel might finally have a villain in the Multiverse Saga on par with Thanos in scale and presence.

Devious new ClickFix malware variant targets macOS, Android, and iOS using browser-based redirections
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Security researchers found ClickFix attacks evolving to target other operating systems On Android and iOS, the attack is particularly worrisome, as it transforms into a drive-by attack The malware is already being flagged by antivirus programs ClickFix, an infamous hacking technique that tricks people into running malware thinking they're fixing a problem on their computer, has evolved, experts have warned. New research from c/side has revealed what used to be a Windows-only attack method is now capable of targeting macOS, iOS and Android devices, as well. In a blog post analyzing the evolution, the researchers said the new attack starts with a compromised website. The threat actors would inject JavaScript code which redirected users to a new browser tab when they clicked on certain elements on the page. The new tab then displays a page that looks like a legitimate URL shortener, with a message to copy and paste a link into the browser - and doing so triggers yet another redirect, this time to a download page. Here is where the technique diverges, depending on the operating system of the victim. On macOS, the attack leads to a terminal command that fetches and executes a malicious shell script, already flagged by multiple antivirus programs. On Android and iOS, things are even worse, since the attack no longer requires any user interaction. 'When we tested this on Android and iOS, we expected a ClickFix variant. But instead, we encountered a drive-by attack,' the researchers explained. 'A drive-by attack is a type of cyberattack where malicious code is executed or downloaded onto a device simply by visiting a compromised or malicious webpage. No clicks, installs, or interaction required.' In this case, the site downloads a .TAR archive file, holding malware. This one, too, was flagged by at least five antivirus programs already. 'This is a fascinating and evolving attack that demonstrates how attackers are expanding their reach,' c/side explained. 'What started as a Windows-specific ClickFix campaign is now targeting macOS, Android, and iOS, significantly expanding the scale of the operation.'
