More from Fold the phone: all the foldables coming in 2023
According to SamMobile, some Google apps will be optimized for the updated cover display, including Google Maps, Messages, and YouTube. This isn’t an entirely new idea — you can run apps on the Moto Razr Plus’ bigger cover screen, too — but it still seems like an extremely useful way to use the extra screen real estate.
Samsung will likely announce its new foldables at Unpacked in July.

Leaker @OnLeaks has unearthed new trailers for Motorola’s upcoming, and so far officially unannounced, foldable Razr 40 and Razr 40 Ultra. We can see a pretty sizable cover display on the Ultra with an onscreen keyboard, and a color variant seemingly based on Pantone’s 2023 Color of the Year.

Lenovo executive Chen Jin has confirmed that the upcoming Motorola Razr foldable will have a 3.5-inch cover display.
That’s bigger than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 (1.9 inches), it’s bigger than the last Razr (2.7 inches), and it’s even bigger than Oppo’s recent Find N2 Flip (3.26 inches). Here’s hoping Motorola’s software makes the most of the screen real estate.
