A recent leak has disclosed significant upgrades for the upcoming Motorola Razr Plus (2024) ahead of its launch next week. The new model will feature a telephoto lens, better water resistance, and enhanced AI capabilities.

Previous leaks about the Motorola Razr Plus did not highlight major changes for the foldable flip phone. While the more affordable version is expected to have a full-size cover display, the flagship model was anticipated to only receive minor specification enhancements. However, a newly leaked video has revealed some noteworthy updates.

The video, shared on X by @MysteryLupin, starts by showcasing the cover display, which appears to have slightly smaller bezels, reported by 9to5Google. The change in bezel size is not very significant, but it is noticeable. 

The video also highlights improved water resistance, with claims of “underwater protection.” According to a disclaimer in the video, the device will have IPX8 water resistance. This is an improvement from the previous model, which had IP52 dust and water resistance. IPX8 rating implies better protection against full submersion in water. However, it is unclear if the new model will retain the dust resistance of its predecessor.

The camera upgrade is another key feature shown in the video. The Razr+ will include a telephoto lens, adding to its camera capabilities. The previous Razr Plus model had a standard camera and an ultrawide lens, a common setup in dual-camera devices. The inclusion of a telephoto lens is a rare and welcome addition for foldable flip phones. It remains to be seen if this new feature will replace the ultrawide lens.
