- UAE regulator listings show Motorola Razr 70 (XT2657-8) and Razr 70 Ultra (XT2655-1) registered under a Lenovo unit
- Eurasian Economic Commission entry for XT2657-8 adds to signs of a wider rollout
- Motorola has not announced the Razr 70 series; filings do not disclose pricing or full specifications
Motorola’s next flip-style foldables, the Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra, have surfaced in the UAE’s Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) equipment listings, according to screenshots published by a tech outlet. The entries list model numbers XT2657-8 and XT2655-1 under Lenovo (Shanghai) Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. Notebookcheck
Why it matters now is timing. Regulatory listings like these are often among the last public breadcrumbs before a phone is cleared for sale, and they tend to show up when the hardware is moving from development into shipping prep, even if launch dates can still slide.
The trail is not limited to the Gulf. A screenshot of a Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) filing — part of an approval process tied to the Eurasian Economic Union — describes “smartphones with the ‘Motorola’ trademark, models XT2657-8,” and names Motorola Mobility LLC as the manufacturer.

In the UAE listing, the Razr 70 carries equipment registration number ER56295/26 with an expiry date of Feb. 1, 2029, while the Razr 70 Ultra is shown as ER56057/26 expiring on Jan. 26, 2029. The screenshots do not include technical specifications beyond model identifiers and the registration details. Notebookcheck
TDRA type approval is required for radio and telecom terminal equipment before it can be used, sold or distributed in the UAE, and is intended to ensure devices comply with technical standards and do not interfere with networks, the regulator says. Gov
Motorola has not announced the Razr 70 series or given a launch timetable. Certification entries can appear without any marketing rollout, and they rarely include pricing, camera specs or chip choices.
Gadgets360 reported the Razr 70 entry was shared on X by tech blogger Anvin and followed earlier UAE approvals for other Motorola models, including a Razr 70 Ultra listing. The site also pointed to the Razr 60 as the predecessor, which it said launched in India in May 2025 starting at 49,999 rupees and used MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400X chipset. Gadgets360
For Motorola, the Razr brand is its most visible play in foldables, a category where makers can still charge premium prices despite a softer broader smartphone market. The next Razr models would square up most directly against Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip line in the clamshell segment.
But a certification trail is not a launch plan. Devices can be delayed after approval, renamed by region, or held back if suppliers or carriers are not ready, and foldables still carry higher costs and durability concerns that can limit demand.
The next clues are likely to come from additional regulator filings in other countries, or a formal teaser from Motorola. For now, the UAE and EEC entries show the Razr 70 line is at least moving through the steps needed to reach store shelves.
