/in /tarafından

Motorola appears to be gearing up for the launch of its next-generation clamshell foldable, the Razr 60 Ultra, expected to be officially unveiled. The launch event may also include the debut of other models in the Edge 60 lineup, such as the standard Edge 60 or the Pro variant. Ahead of this anticipated reveal, the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra has surfaced on Geekbench, offering an early glimpse into the hardware expected to power the device. The listing provides insight into the processor, memory configuration, and software version of the upcoming foldable.

According to the Geekbench benchmark results, the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra features an octa-core processor with core speeds peaking at 4.32GHz, strongly indicating the inclusion of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. The foldable device achieved 2,878 points in single-core tests and 8,840 points in multi-core performance, signaling a significant power upgrade over its predecessor. This makes the Razr 60 Ultra one of the most powerful foldables anticipated for 2025.

Further details from the Geekbench listing show the Razr 60 Ultra sporting 16GB of RAM and an Adreno 830 GPU, suggesting it’s designed to handle multitasking and graphics-intensive tasks with ease. It is also expected to launch with Android 15, running Motorola’s custom Hello UI skin. For comparison, the Razr 50 Ultra launched in India in July 2024 with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, 12GB of RAM, and a 4,000mAh battery. The Razr 60 Ultra is clearly a step up in both memory and performance, possibly positioning it as a premium-tier foldable competitor.

Design-wise, leaks suggest the Razr 60 Ultra could launch in a variety of finishes, including dark green, rio red, pink, and even a wooden texture. The phone is rumored to pack a dual 50-megapixel rear camera setup and a 50-megapixel front-facing camera, ideal for selfies and video calls. It may also house a 4,500mAh battery with support for 68W wired fast charging. The device is expected to feature a 6.96-inch foldable OLED inner screen and a 4-inch cover display, both reportedly capable of up to 165Hz refresh rates — a notable enhancement aimed at improving the user experience across both screens.

Xiaomi 16 Expected Later This Year With Bigger Battery Upgrade Over Xiaomi 15

Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship, the Xiaomi 16, is already generating buzz well ahead of its official launch, which is expected by the end of 2025. While we’re still about six months away from its debut, early leaks have begun to surface, offering glimpses into what the brand has planned. According to the latest tip from Chinese source Wisdom Pikachu on Weibo, the standard Xiaomi 16 model could arrive with a significantly larger battery than its predecessor, signaling a major boost in endurance for the series.

Under the hood, the Xiaomi 16 is rumored to feature either Qualcomm’s yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset or MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 9500 SoC. Both chipsets are expected to bring top-tier performance, improved energy efficiency, and next-gen AI capabilities. If the leaks hold true, this would make the Xiaomi 16 not just more powerful, but also smarter and more capable than ever. The inclusion of a battery exceeding 7,000mAh would be a dramatic jump from the 5,240mAh battery found in the Indian variant of the Xiaomi 15.

To put this into perspective, the current Xiaomi 15 launched in China in October 2024 with a 5,400mAh battery, 90W wired fast charging, and 50W wireless charging — specs that already made it one of the fastest-charging phones in its class. The Indian version, released a few months later alongside the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, slightly trimmed the battery down to 5,240mAh but retained the same fast-charging capabilities. Reports suggest that Xiaomi might utilize advanced silicon-carbon battery technology in the Xiaomi 16 series, enabling higher capacity without significantly increasing the physical size or weight of the device.

Looking back at the Xiaomi 15, it offered a premium spec sheet that included a 6.36-inch full-HD+ LTPO AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and up to 12GB RAM with 512GB of storage. Its triple 50MP camera setup, IP68 water and dust resistance, and flagship build quality set a high bar for the Xiaomi 16 to surpass. If the early leaks are accurate, the upcoming model is shaping up to be not just a refinement, but a meaningful leap forward in both battery life and performance.
