Flip phones and Windows XP. Two relics of the early 2000s, each a cultural touchstone in its own right. One was the sleek, pocketable status symbol that defined mobile cool; the other, the operating system that powered our chunky beige PCs through dial-up internet and Clippy’s unsolicited advice. Now, in a twist that feels like a fever dream from a bygone era, someone has fused these icons together. A Moto RAZR 40 Ultra, a modern foldable phone, is running a full Windows XP build. Yes, you read that right—a flip phone moonlighting as a miniature Windows laptop.
Back in 2005, Apple, the mastermind behind those legendary iPods, wanted to get into the phone game with the Motorola ROKR E1, nicknamed the “iTunes Phone,” an interesting (yet much needed) experiment that paved the way for the iPhone’s epic arrival. It wasn’t a true smartphone, but it showed Apple’s early mobile ambitions.
The Motorola RAZR 60 Ultra (known as the RAZR+ 2025 in the US) was unveiled today during the company’s “Make It Iconic” event. This premium clamshell foldable is packed with features that make it a standout in the competitive foldable market, where devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Google Pixel Fold run rampant.
Motorola just unveiled the Moto G Stylus (2025), a mid-range Android smartphone that’s got some nice upgrades from its predecessor, starting with a vibrant 6.7-inch pOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1220p resolution as well as 3,000 nits of brightness for HDR—so it looks great even in sunlight.
