Recent leaks, including images PhoneArena said came from Evan Blass, have put Motorola’s next Razr flip phones into sharper view, showing a standard Razr 70 in four textured finishes and an Ultra model that looks close to last year’s setup in early reports. A separate specs leak pointed to a larger battery, while fresh certification coverage suggested launch timing may be close.
The timing matters because Motorola is pushing deeper into foldables just as its position in the segment has strengthened. Its UK site is taking pre-orders for the new Razr Fold, while Counterpoint said Motorola reached a 44% share of the North American foldable market in 2025 and IDC analysts said last month the company held about 50% of the U.S. foldable market, ahead of Samsung and Google.
The standard Razr 70, likely to be sold as the Razr (2026) in some markets, surfaced in Sporting Green, Hematite, Violet Ice and a reflective white finish. Android Headlines and The Verge said it keeps Motorola’s familiar flip-phone shape, a large cover display, or outer screen, and two rear cameras set into that outer panel when the phone is closed.
Certification reports suggest Motorola is keeping the base model close to last year’s formula. Gadgets 360 said filings and TENAA details point to 33W charging, a roughly 4,500mAh battery, dual 50-megapixel rear cameras, up to 18GB of RAM and as much as 1TB of storage.
On the higher end, the Razr 70 Ultra — Razr Ultra 2026 in the U.S. — has appeared in at least Orient Blue Alcantara and Pantone Cocoa Wood. A newer Android Headlines report said the device will use a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, a 5,000mAh battery and 68W charging.
If those details hold, the Ultra would amount to more of a tune-up than a redesign. Motorola’s current Razr Ultra already ships with a 4,700mAh battery, 68W charging and a triple 50-megapixel camera system, according to the company’s U.S. product page.
Motorola’s public messaging is already centered on a broader foldables push. Its UK pages are taking pre-orders for the Razr Fold — a device that opens like a book rather than a flip phone — and telling visitors there is “more to unfold,” while the local homepage is promoting Razr Fold offers tied to the FIFA World Cup 26 campaign.

Analysts say wider carrier distribution and lower entry prices have helped move foldables beyond early adopters. Counterpoint Associate Director Liz Lee said Motorola’s “pricing strategy and carrier partnerships played a key role,” while Principal Analyst Gerrit Schneemann said North America was “transitioning from a single-player dominated market to a more competitive one.” Counterpoint Research
But some leak details do not line up. Earlier reports on the Ultra pointed to a 4,700mAh battery and a chip described as Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, not the 5,000mAh pack and Snapdragon 8 Elite cited later, suggesting some specifications may still change before launch or that early materials were incomplete.
Competition could tighten further later this year. Counterpoint said this week that Apple’s expected foldable iPhone could capture 46% of the North American foldables market in 2026, and Lee said “Google and Motorola have been key growth drivers in North America, but Apple’s foldable iPhone is set to significantly alter that trajectory.” That would leave Motorola facing Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip line, Google’s phones that open like a book and a possible new entrant from Apple at the same time.
