Motorola’s January 6 launch event is about to get twice as busy after the brand teases a surprise Razr edition nobody saw coming

Motorola is preparing to unveil a special edition of its iconic foldable phone tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026, adding extra buzz to what is shaping up to be a major launch event. The limited-edition Motorola Razr will be officially revealed on January 6, the same day the company is set to introduce its new Motorola Signature flagship device, turning the showcase into a far bigger announcement than initially expected.

According to Gizbot, the World Cup-themed Razr first appeared in an official teaser video posted by Motorola’s U.S. social media account on January 2, 2026. The short clip highlights the phone’s design and prominently features the FIFA World Cup 2026 logo on the back, confirming both the collaboration and the launch date. While Motorola has not yet revealed full specifications, the branding suggests a premium, collectible version of its popular foldable lineup.

January 6 was already circled on Motorola’s calendar as the global launch date for the Motorola Signature, a flagship handset widely believed to be the Edge 70 Ultra. With the surprise addition of the FIFA World Cup 2026 edition Razr, the event is now expected to cover multiple product categories, appealing to both high-end smartphone buyers and football fans alike.

The special edition appears based on the existing Razr 60 model

The special Motorola Razr with FIFA World Cup 2026 branding looks a lot like the Motorola Razr 60 that’s already available to buy. However, Motorola hasn’t said anything about changes to the hardware or software yet. Any differences from the regular Razr 60 won’t be clear until the January 6 announcement.

Right now, the Motorola Razr 60 is being sold with 256GB storage and 8GB RAM. The price is $399.00 in some markets and €555.49 in others. With 256GB of storage, users won’t face storage issues like PS5 owners have recently discovered.

The Motorola Razr FIFA World Cup 2026 edition is expected to be very similar to the Razr 60 but with tournament branding on it. Full details about the specifications, where you can buy it, and any extra features will be shared during Motorola’s January 6 launch event.

Motorola hasn’t confirmed whether the special edition will have any unique features beyond the FIFA branding. The FIFA World Cup 2026 continues to generate major partnerships, similar to how a game raised billions before launch. Fans will need to wait for the official launch to learn more about what makes this version different.
