The new Moto Razr faces an unexpected delay at Verizon
Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Verizon, as well as MVNOs that use its network, have delayed the availability of the Motorola Razr to May 22. The original launch date of the Razr was May 15, and this delay only affects Verizon, as other carriers are not affected. There has been no official reason given for the delay. Fans of Motorola's iconic flip phone, the Razr, have been able to get the new 2025 model since May 15. At least, if you have a carrier that isn't Verizon, or any of its associated MVNOs. If you are a Verizon customer and still wondering why you're not able to get your hands on the new Moto Razr just yet, well, there's a reason for that, kind of. Verizon has confirmed that the Moto Razr is now launching on May 22, rather than the original launch date of May 15 like other carriers. This delay also applies to customers on Straight Talk, Visible, Total Wireless, and Verizon prepaid accounts. Previously, Verizon and the MVNOs had the Moto Razr listed for purchase beginning May 15, but they have all been removed as of now. If you search for Motorola phones on Verizon's site, you'll currently only see the Motorola Edge Plus and Moto G Play 2024. This was Verizon's statement on the delay: We adjusted the availability timeline of the new motorola razr to ensure the best possible launch experience for our customers. It will be available at Verizon, Straight Talk, Total Wireless and Visible on May 22. We also confirmed with Motorola that this delay is only affecting Verizon and its associated MVNOs. Other carriers, like T-Mobile and AT&T, and retailers are not affected by this delay, and you can still purchase an unlocked Moto Razr directly from Ryan Haines / Android Authority It's interesting to note that Verizon did not give an official reason behind the delay. But there are some stories circulating around on Reddit about this whole mystery. A now-deleted Reddit discussion claimed a Razr demo unit caught fire in a Verizon store. Stemming from that, it seems that pre-orders from Total Wireless customers have requests for return to sender or delivery drivers refusing to deliver packages. Someone claiming to be a Verizon employee also said that there has been a stop sale on the Razr and that they needed to quarantine them. Another customer who ordered their phone directly from Motorola had their order cancelled. Android Authority have asked both Verizon and Motorola about these reports, but neither have commented on these rumors. Verizon also stated to 9to5Google that it actually has not shipped any Razr devices to Verizon customers yet. It appears that only Total Wireless had shipped devices out to customers, which have ended up being returned to sender. So if you are a Verizon customer or use any of its MVNOs, then you have a few more days before you can expect to get a new Moto Razr, unfortunately. Thankfully, that's just a few days away.

Surprise Moto Razr (2025) image leaks have us green with envy
Official marketing images for the upcoming Moto Razr 2025 were leaked ahead of schedule on X by Evan Blass. The new phone comes in three colors and textures: a metallic dark blue, a green with vegan leather, and a pearl white with a matte material. Motorola will officially announce the new devices on April 24. Forget Samsung and Apple. Motorola's Razr reboot has been a great success for the past few years, and the next foldable is just around the corner. High-quality lifestyle images of the Moto Razr (2025) just leaked on X ahead of the launch. The images were shared by trusted leaker Evan Blass. They appear to be official promotional material and offer a detailed look at the final design, including all three color variants. This leak comes just days before the Razr 2025 event, scheduled for April 24. While we've seen plenty of leaks for the Razr Plus, this is the first time we're seeing the Razr 2025, and we like what we see. Evan Blass has since set his X profile to "private," so you may not be able to see his posts unless he accepts you as a follower. Source: X/Evan Blass The Motorola Razr (2025) is known as the Razr 60 in some markets, but here in North America it's the iconic Moto Razr. This year it is coming in three colors with different finishes. There's a dark blue model, called Gibraltar Sea, that has a bumpy texture to the backing. The green version, reportedly dubbed Spring Bud, comes in vegan leather, while the light variant is called Lightest Sky and has a soft grain texture. We're not sure if it is plastic or matte-coated glass. These textures hint at Motorola's attempts to differentiate the Razr from a sea of mid-range Android devices. These appear to be premium materials. Other than that, however, the rest of the design looks unchanged from last year. We also don't know anything about its specs. We know the Plus model will feature a larger cover display and flagship-level hardware, so we're guessing this base model will prioritize value, with modest specs and a decent price. Motorola has officially scheduled an announcement for April 24. It is expected to unveil both versions of the Razr then. Last year's Razr and Razr Plus (Motorola 40 and 40 Ultra outside of North America) were popular devices, and helped put the company back on the mobile phone map. The Razr 2025 looks ready to keep that momentum going. We'll know more very soon.
