Motorola appears nearly ready to debut its next Razr flip phones, after a fresh round of leaks over the past day spotlighted new finish options — wood, Alcantara that resembles suede, plus fresh Pantone-inspired colors — coming to the Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra. From the leaked images, not much seems changed under the hood; Motorola seems to be betting on materials and finish to push its clamshell foldables (the vertically folding flip phones) apart from the pack.
This is significant: Motorola’s no longer on the sidelines when it comes to foldables in North America. According to recent Counterpoint data, the company captured roughly 44% of the region’s foldable market for 2025. Samsung held a bit more than half, just above 50%. Shipments for the product category climbed 28% compared to last year.
91mobiles, referencing sources OnLeaks and Android Headlines, put out new press renders of the Razr 70 Ultra sporting a Pantone Cocoa Wood look and an Orient Blue Alcantara finish. Android Central added that leaks suggest the device sticks with a 4-inch external screen and a 7-inch inner display, so the update seems to focus on materials rather than any major redesign.
PhoneArena posted leaked shots showing the base model in Pantone Sporting Green, Hematite, and Violet Ice—colors tipped for the Razr 70’s global launch. Specs in the same piece point to a 6.9-inch main screen, 3.63-inch cover display, dual 50MP cameras on the back, a 32MP front camera, 4,500 mAh battery, and 33W charging.
If so, the update’s evolutionary. Motorola’s latest U.S. Razr Ultra and Razr, both announced April 2025, already pushed into oddball territory with their materials—wood and Alcantara feature on the premium version. Displays? The Ultra gets 7.0-inch and 4.0-inch panels; the regular Razr, 6.9 inches and 3.6 inches. As for pricing, Motorola set the Ultra at $1,299.99, and the Razr at $699.99.
Regional branding remains tangled. According to PhoneArena, the base model could hit the U.S. market as the Razr (2026), but elsewhere, it might land as the Razr 70. The higher-end version? That name could go two ways too: Razr Ultra (2026) for the States, Razr 70 Ultra internationally. CNET’s latest roundup this week flagged that Motorola seems poised to introduce the new Razr lineup soon, while 91mobiles pointed out that an April launch window lines up with the company’s usual playbook.
Motorola stays focused on challenging Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series in the high-end flip foldable space, while Google lags behind in market share. The Razr strategy hasn’t shifted much—big outer displays, eye-catching materials, and a price gap wide enough to set the lineup apart from Samsung.
Still, there are some question marks. 91mobiles pointed out that the Ultra renders show no clear selfie-camera cutout on the inner screen. That could just be an oversight in the images, rather than evidence of an under-display camera. Meanwhile, cost pressures aren’t letting up for Android makers. Back in February, Reuters cited IDC’s Francisco Jeronimo, who described the memory crunch as a “tsunami-like shock.” Nabila Popal, also at IDC, called it a “structural reset” for the sector. 91mobiles
Motorola hasn’t officially revealed its next Razr lineup yet. But leaks are surfacing fast—sometimes just hours apart—and the previous Razr update was introduced on April 24. All signs point to the company being on the verge of answering whether its latest design moves can keep the foldable series alive for another round.
