Motorola’s next premium flip phone has leaked in two colors, and the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra looks less like a minor refresh and more like the company trying to out-style Samsung at its own game. The sequel to the Razr Ultra is expected to land as the Razr Ultra (2026) in the US and Razr 70 Ultra internationally, and the latest images suggest Motorola is leaning hard on materials, texture, and a cleaner front design to make people notice.
The leaked finishes are Pantone Cocoa Wood and Orient Blue Alcantara, two very different looks for the same foldable. That matters because Motorola’s current premium clamshell already leaned into fashion-phone energy, and the new colors make it even more obvious that this device is being sold as a lifestyle object as much as a spec sheet exercise.
The missing selfie camera is the real head-scratcher
One detail stands out more than the colors: the front-facing camera appears to have vanished from the render. Earlier images showed a centered selfie camera, but the latest leak leaves the front panel clean enough to fuel speculation about an under-display camera. That would be a bold move for a flip phone, though it could also mean worse selfies, because engineering miracles usually ask for payment somewhere.
If Motorola does go that route, it would be following a familiar premium-phone trade-off: a tidier display in exchange for camera quality that may not impress everyone. Samsung has taken a more conservative path with its Galaxy Z Flip line, so a hidden camera would give Motorola a real differentiator even if it is not the safer choice for social-media perfectionists.
Motorola Razr 70 Ultra specs that have surfaced so far
The rumored hardware is familiar in the best possible way. The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra is said to keep the big-screen formula while stepping up to Qualcomm’s latest flagship silicon and a larger storage ceiling, which should help it stay in the same conversation as Samsung’s foldables.
- 7-inch primary AMOLED screen with 165Hz refresh rate technology
- 4-inch secondary AMOLED panel with 165Hz refresh rate technology
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor
- 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage variants
- 12 and 16GB RAM options
- 50 + 50MP dual rear-facing camera system
- Android 16
- 171.3 x 74.1 x 7.8mm dimensions unfolded
- 88 x 74.1 x 15.8mm dimensions folded
There is still one unresolved hardware question that could decide how competitive this phone really is: battery size. Some rumors say the 4,700mAh capacity will stay put, but the slightly thicker body leaves room for Motorola to squeeze in something closer to 5,000mAh. If that happens, the Razr would move from ”good-looking rival” to ”actually annoying for competitors.”
Price and release timing will do the heavy lifting
Design leaks can generate buzz, but they do not sell a foldable on their own. Motorola’s real challenge is pricing: the Razr Ultra (2026) needs to launch at roughly the same level as its predecessor, and be discounted quickly after release if it wants to tempt buyers away from Samsung’s better-known foldables. The current expectation is an official announcement by the end of this month.
The most optimistic scenario is a starting price of no more than $1,300 in the US, with 512GB storage and 16GB RAM. That would keep the phone squarely in flagship territory, but not absurdly so for a device that seems determined to win on looks, performance, and a little bit of swagger. The bigger question is whether Motorola can turn a pretty leak into an actual hit before Samsung gets another turn to reset the conversation.
