The Motorola Razr Plus (2025) just leaked, and it’s far from exciting

Motorola is launching a new flagship flip phone soon. It is slated to get an overdue processor upgrade, though the other specifications could fail to ignite the same excitement. A new leak reveals design changes — or their lack — that the Motorola Razr Plus (2025) comes with.

Based on the images by Android Headlines, the design of the Motorola Razr Plus (2025) has barely changed over the last generation. It retains the same physique as last year, without changes to the sizes of the dual displays — inside and outside the flip phone.

Minimal changes to the leather finish

The bottom half of the back is still wrapped in faux leather, but with subtle differences from the previous generation. This year, we could see a stitch pattern beyond the curved part of the edges. The leak also reveals a new color option, noticeably darker than the green we saw last year.

All color variants in 2024 came with a vegan leather back. While we’re unsure of the route Motorola will take this year, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if it sticks with the same strategy. With only the green color leaked at the moment, we can’t quite comment on which others we would get to see at the time of launch.

A new Quick Button

One curious addition to the Motorola Razr Plus over the last year is the button on the left side of the phone. Motorola phones have traditionally had this extra button to invoke Google Assistant, and it was later reimagined as a “Quick Button” as also seen on the Motorola Edge 2024. A single action, such as opening a new note, launching a specific app, initiating a new conversation, etc., can be assigned to this Quick button. It’s not as intuitive as the iPhone’s Action Button — which other phone brands such as OnePlus and Oppo could soon replicate, but it is a nifty addition for sure.

Apart from the button and the darker green color, the Motorola Razr Plus is slated to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite. This year, Motorola should not skimp on performance, as it is rumored to feature the 8-core version of the chipset, instead of the less powerful 7-core variant, which is expected to power other foldable this year, such as the Oppo Find N5 and the OnePlus Open 2.

The Motorola Razr Plus (2025) is expected to launch sooner than the last year, when the Razr Plus (2024) launched in June. We will ensure to update you once we come across more details.

Disney co-chairman reveals why The Acolyte was canceled after one season

Lucasfilm may be in the midst of experiencing a wave of positive attention and success thanks to its latest TV series, Skeleton Crew, but the Jude Law-starring sci-fi show isn't the only Star Wars title that has premiered on Disney+ this year. This past summer, Lucasfilm also debuted The Acolyte, a Sith-centric show set around 100 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Across its eight episodes, the series proved to be critically divisive, and it was only a month after The Acolyte's finale aired that Disney and Lucasfilm announced they would not be bringing the show back for a second season.

In a recent interview with Vulture, Disney Entertainment co-chairman Alan Bergman shed some light on the behind-the-scenes decision to cancel The Acolyte after just one season. "As it relates to Acolyte, we were happy with our performance, but it wasn’t where we needed it to be given the cost structure of that title, quite frankly, to go and make a season 2," Bergman revealed. "That’s the reason why we didn’t do that."

James Gunn calls Creature Commandos episode the saddest thing he’s ever written

Creature Commandos has been splitting its time as of late between the past and present. Its recent episodes have both propelled the show's present-day plot forward and also explored the pasts of characters like The Bride (Indira Varma) and G.I. Robot (Sean Gunn), offering new insights into the tragic events that shaped their identities and led them to their current circumstances. Creature Commandos' fourth and most recent episode, Chasing Squirrels, does the same for Weasel (also Sean Gunn), revealing the horrifying reasons the character was incorrectly blamed for the deaths of multiple schoolchildren.

The episode refrains from explaining what Weasel is or how the character came to be, but it doesn't shy away from the gruesome and tragic details of the "crime" that turned him into a full-blown monster in society's eyes. In an interview with Variety, Creature Commandos creator and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn reflected on the episode, which is emotionally and narratively dark, even by the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 filmmaker's standards.
