Motorola Reported to Be Developing a Wide Book-Style Foldable

Leaked sketches claim a centered horizontal camera bar intended to cut table wobble, suggesting Motorola's entry into the growing wide-foldable market.

Overview

  • A report published Friday revealed anonymous-source sketches that show Motorola is working on a wide, book-style foldable said to arrive "in the coming months" though the company has not confirmed the device.
  • The sketches depict a centered horizontal camera island with three cutouts where two appear sized for lenses and a smaller opening likely for an LED flash or sensors.
  • Design notes on the images label an "easy-open profile," an ultra-slim housing, a "creaseless display," a bezel-less outer panel with a centered punch‑hole selfie camera, and an inner display selfie hole at the top-right in landscape.
  • Motorola branding appears on the hinge in the sketches and the centered camera bar is presented as a deliberate way to reduce the table wobble associated with corner-mounted camera placements.
  • This report places Motorola alongside Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi in a summer push toward wider foldables, and the market impact will depend on final specs, launch timing, and supply-chain factors that have so far been unverified.
