Samsung is supposedly preparing to launch the Galaxy Watch6 and its Pro version in July. Ahead of that, the two smartwatches have passed the FCC certification in the US, which confirms their model numbers and charger type. They will use the same charger as the Galaxy Watch5 series, which means it could retain the previous generation's charging speed. 

The Samsung Galaxy Watch6 and Watch6 Pro will reportedly have a physical rotating bezel and a more powerful processor. Samsung is also expected to announce the Galaxy Z Fold5 and Flip5 foldable phones and possibly its mixed reality XR headset at its next Galaxy Unpacked event, which will take place in South Korea sometime at the end of July.

The Razr comes in three vegan leather colours picked in partnership with Pantone: Sage Green, Vanilla Cream, and Summer Lilac. 

Like the razr+, it has an IP52 rating for water and dust resistance and will receive three operating system upgrades and four years of security updates. motorola has not announced the price or availability of the razr yet, but it is expected to be significantly cheaper than the razr+. If you're wondering why you'll pick this over the razr+, motorola is pitching this razr as a device for those who want to spend less time looking at their phone.

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.
