5 ways Motorola Razr Flex can beat the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and iPhone Duo
Wide foldables have been the only real bright spot, with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 a smash hit and the iPhone Duo turning heads around the world.
Motorola might not have the marketing might of Apple and Samsung, but an elite rival could turn the tide in its favour. With the rumoured ‘Razr Flex’ expected to launch in December, we don’t have long to wait to find out.
Several specs have already leaked, but there are still plenty of unknowns, giving plenty of room to speculate. Here are five things Motorola must do if it wants the Razr Flex to follow in the footsteps of the Razr Fold as the best in its class.
Deliver elite water and dust resistance
The iPhone Duo has had its fair share of durability issues since launch, with a faulty hinge on some units (causing the screen to crack), closely followed by an exposed hinge that makes it vulnerable to water and dust.
Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 8, the Duo has an official IP68 rating that should protect it from both, but that doesn’t appear to be the case so far.

All this gives the Razr Flex a prime opportunity. If Motorola is able to deliver an IP68 rating that consistently shuts out freshwater and dust, it’ll be onto a winner. It could go one step further by adding IP69, which would also verify its safety from high-pressure, high-temperature jets of water.
