Motorola’s mysterious pop-up camera phone might be the One Hyper

Motorola has already released the One Vision, One Action, One Zoom, and One Macro this year but it’s not stopping there. New information points towards a fifth model that’ll arrive in the near future and be marketed as the Motorola One Hyper.

Unlike recent Motorola-branded smartphones, this particular device is expected to debut with an all-screen design that makes use of a 6.4-inch LCD display, impressively thin bezels and a new pop-out camera system. The latter includes a 32-megapixel selfie sensor and aligns perfectly with the vertical camera setup and stripe that are featured on the back of the phone.

As leaked images have previously revealed, the stripe on the One Hyper’s rear is home to the ‘Motorola One’ branding and the company’s famous batwing logo. The camera module, on the other hand, includes a 64-megapixel primary camera and a dedicated depth sensor.

Powering the One Hyper will be the not-so-hyper Snapdragon 675 which Motorola has previously used inside the Moto Z4 and One Zoom. The chipset is reportedly paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage as standard, although other configurations are certainly possible.

A 3,600mAh battery paired with fast charging should complete the package alongside a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner that’s surrounded by an LED ring that’ll likely double as a notification light. Lastly, reports suggest the phone will ship with Android 10 pre-installed.

Motorola teases its foldable RAZR phone reveal for November 13th

We heard early this year that Motorola would be bringing back its iconic RAZR handset as a pricy smartphone with a vertically folding screen, and in February the company confirmed it was working on a foldable for this year. Now, as CNET reports, the company has sent out invites for a November 13th event that prominently displays the unmistakable silhouette of a classic RAZR V3 as part of an animated teaser image:

While it’s hard to tell for sure, it certainly looks like we’re seeing the RAZR’s signature hinge pulled away from the edge of the handset to reveal a different sort of hinge underneath — perhaps to better house a true foldable screen like Samsung’s Galaxy Fold.

Motorola appears to have multiple taglines for the event, but they all strongly hint at the foldable RAZR. The invite includes the phrase “You’re going to flip,” and the event will apparently be the “highly-anticipated unveiling of a reinvented icon,” according to CNET.

We may already know what this phone looks like, by the way, courtesy of these leaked images from Weibo.
