Motorola is expanding its presence in the luxury and high-end hardware markets through novel form factors and premium materials. At the IFA trade show in Berlin in early September 2026, the company officially unveiled the Razr 70 Swarovski luxury edition as part of its ‘Brilliant Collection’. This model features a ‘PANTONE Meteorite’ finish and is decorated with 35 ‘Swarovski Silver Night’ crystals applied manually, including a ‘32-faceted crystal’ integrated into the hinge. Positioned as a high-performance fashion accessory, the limited edition is expected to be available for approximately 999 euros. During the same IFA showcase, Motorola introduced the Edge 70 Plus, featuring a 200MP main camera and a 6,500mAh battery, and the Moto Watch Ultra, which marks the brand’s return to Wear OS 6 in collaboration with Polar. The company has also begun teasing the ‘Signature 27’ flagship smartphone on its European and UK websites. Furthering its premium strategy, Motorola is shifting its foldable focus toward wide-format devices. Teasers celebrating the 22-year history of the Razr series include silhouettes of a wide, book-style device, suggesting a shift from traditional clamshell designs to a book-style folding mechanism. Reports indicate the development of a device potentially named the ‘Razr Fold Wide,’ which may feature a passport-style form factor and a nearly crease-free inner display. Technical details from Wireless Power Consortium registrations suggest a model variant for Verizon that utilizes the Qi 2.2.1 standard without magnets. Design leaks point to an asymmetrical housing with a ‘3D glass’ cover display, a pill-shaped rear camera island, and a punch-hole camera on the main display. In the mid-range segment, leaked Geekbench data for the upcoming Motorola Edge 70 Neo indicates the device will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, 6 GB of RAM, and will run on Android 16.
