Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 runs Geekbench with a surprising chipset

Motorola's next high-end Razr foldable smartphone has been caught in the Geekbench database today, since a prototype ran the benchmark. The device identified itself as the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025, which is an interesting name since the company hasn't used that particular nomenclature before.

Globally, we were expecting to see the Razr 60 Ultra, as the successor to the Razr 50 Ultra from last year, and in North America this should be the Razr+ 2025. But maybe Motorola is ready to slightly revamp its naming scheme and go with Razr Ultra 2025 across the world - we can hope, at least. Anyway, the name isn't even the most interesting thing about it. That would be the fact that it's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC.

This is significant because the Razr 50 Ultra / Razr+ 2024 went with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which is a far cry, performance-wise, from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. So it looks like Motorola will finally use the actual flagship chipset by Qualcomm this year. The phone managed a 2,782 single-core score and an 8,457 multi-core score, which is less than we're used to for the Snapdragon 8 Elite but thermals in a foldable will probably do that.

The prototype that ran the benchmark had 12GB of RAM and Android 15 on board. Maybe there will be other RAM options, or maybe this will be the only one a la Samsung, we don't know yet. What a previous rumor did tell us was to expect Motorola's next flagship foldable to launch earlier than its predecessor did last year. The Razr Ultra 2025 or whatever it will end up being called could become official in March or April. If that's the case, then we expect to hear a lot more about it in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
