Droid Razr HD videos leak: Is this Motorola’s new flagship smartphone?

Five leaked tutorial videos surfaced on YouTube over the weekend allegedly revealing Motorola’s new flagship Android handset, the Motorola Razr HD.

Motorola and Verizon are due to host an event on September 5 and we’re beginning to think that the Motorola Razr HD will be unveiled. Five leaked Razr HD tutorials were posted on YouTube over the weekend and soon popped up on Droid Life and other websites, but they have since been removed and the user account responsible for posting them has been closed.

There has been a great deal of speculation about the new Motorola flagship device. Expectations have been high since Google officially acquired Motorola Mobility back in May.

None of the videos explicitly mention the Motorola RAZR HD and details are scant. The tutorials explained how to set up email, messaging, and Wi-Fi, along with a few other bits and pieces, like battery saving tricks. The phone appears to be running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with a MotoBlur overlay, just like the UI on the Motorola Atrix HD.

Nokia and Microsoft are also set to make a joint announcement at a press conference on September 5. It seems likely that it will involve a new line of Nokia Windows Phone 8 devices. The timing is clearly not accidental and Motorola and Verizon will be aiming to steal their thunder – the invitations they sent out for their event say “Motorola. On Display. Join us for the day’s main event.”

We’ll bring you all the news as it emerges.
