Motorola has just announced its latest foldable phone, the Razr+ (or Razr 40 Ultra in other markets), which features a massive 3.6-inch OLED cover screen that lets you do almost anything without opening the phone. The Razr+ also has a 6.9-inch inner OLED screen with a 165Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, and a 12-megapixel main camera paired with a 13-megapixel ultrawide with a 108-degree field of view and a 32-megapixel quad-pixel selfie camera. It will be available on June 16 online and on June 23 at carriers at CAD 1,299 in three colours: Infinite Black, Glacier Blue, and Viva Magenta.

The Razr+ is Motorola's latest effort to revive the iconic flip phone design of the original Razr. The company has made significant changes to the new model, such as ditching the large chin at the bottom and adding a protective layer to the inner screen. The Razr+ also supports 5W wireless charging and has an IP52 rating for dust and water resistance.

Garmin Fenix 7 Pro targets serious explorers

Garmin has launched the Fenix 7 Pro series, joining the new Epix Pro line. The Fenix 7 Pro series includes solar charging, a powerful LED flashlight, mapping upgrades and a red safety light, all of which are intended to provide greater awareness when training in the dark. The heart rate sensor also got a significant boost, with new optical sensors and sport-specific algorithms that track your pulse rate across a diverse array of activities. However, there is no ECG app, so you'll have to look elsewhere if that's a primary concern.

The Fenix 7 Pro series also introduces a new endurance score and hill score features. The former measures how easy it is to engage in prolonged physical activities, while the latter uses your training data and VO2 Max to gauge your running strength on steep climbs and long ascents. The Fenix 7 Pro boasts an updated mapping system with weather overlays, points of interest and improvements to topographic maps. There are also new preloaded activities like whitewater rafting and motocross. The Fenix 7 Pro is available in multiple sizes and designs, starting at USD 800 (around CAD 1,083).
