Do you think you know pretty much everything there is to know about the highly anticipated sequel to last year's Razr Ultra, aka Razr 60 Ultra, after not one and not two but three comprehensive reports issued by a couple of equally reliable publications these last few weeks?
Well, you're probably right, but it can't hurt to get further confirmation of the flip phone's glorious colorways and check out that stunning (albeit largely unchanged) Razr 70 Ultra design in a new set of high-quality pictures and even what looks like an official 43-second video leaked by the legendary Evan Blass.
Any surprising last-minute revelations?
It sure doesn't look like it, at least to me, as Motorola's next big Galaxy Z Flip 7 (and Z Flip 8) rival is once again depicted in a gorgeous Pantone Orient Blue hue with an Alcantara finish and an... arguably even more eye-catching Pantone Cocoa shade with a matte wooden texture.

The difference between these new images and the ones leaked earlier this month, of course, is that we're now looking at (presumably official and fully polished) promotional material, so the two undeniably beautiful paint jobs are (professionally) made to pop, turn heads, and possibly cause a little drool to leave your mouth.

The undoubtedly massive primary and secondary screens of the Razr 70 Ultra, aka Razr Ultra (2026), are also showcased in all their glory today, along with the handset's two rear-facing cameras and one centered front-facing snapper.
Do you wish more smartphone makers would adopt unique colors and finishes like these?
One image offers us a little peek under the upcoming phone's hood to presumably highlight the durability of its hinge, while the 43-second video that Motorola is likely to run as a TV or online commercial in select markets (with added audio and promotional text) focuses on key selling points like blazing fast charging, rear and front camera performance, and the customization abilities of the cover display.

Technically, none of this stuff is etched in stone just yet. But every tidbit rumored over the last month or so sounds plausible... and extremely familiar. Yes, I'm afraid the Razr 70 Ultra is unlikely to change much about its predecessor's specs and features, only doing a typical processor upgrade and adding a little more battery juice over the Razr 60 Ultra while essentially keeping the product dimensions and weight unchanged.

Of course, not everything is out of the bag yet, and although I doubt it, maybe Motorola will surprise us on the wireless charging front with an improvement over the Razr 60 Ultra's already impressive 30W support.
What about Razr Ultra (2026) prices?
This sounds like the upcoming foldable's Achilles' heel, as US pricing is reportedly set at $1,499.99 with 512GB internal storage space and 16GB RAM. That would be a $200 hike over the first-gen Razr Ultra's starting price in a similar configuration last year, and while I understand times are tough for practically all smartphone manufacturers, Motorola should also understand it's going to be hard to justify a Razr Ultra (2026) purchase when the 2025 edition and Samsung's 2025-released Galaxy Z Flip 7 are so much cheaper.
The Razr Ultra (2026) will likely be released under the Razr 70 Ultra name on the old continent shortly after a global April 29 announcement, and while I'd normally expect European prices to be even higher, there's a chance the handset will start at 12GB RAM and 256GB storage around those parts and thus not break the bank.
Is the Razr Ultra (2026) doomed?
Maybe not. After all, the Razr Ultra (2025) scored some massive discounts relatively soon after its commercial debut, so maybe Motorola will give the 2026 generation the same treatment and drop that extravagant aforementioned US price to $1,299.99 or $1,199.99 by, say, June or July.
If it scores the same hefty discounts as its predecessor, I believe the Razr Ultra (2026) still has a chance to become a hit. | Image by PhoneArena
With the Galaxy Z Flip 7 normally available at $1,099.99 and $1,299.99 in 256 and 512GB storage variants, respectively, a discounted Razr Ultra (2026) could definitely bid for the title of best foldable out there this year. At least until the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and Z Fold 8 come out in the summer and then Apple's iPhone Ultra (or iPhone Fold) in the fall... or winter.
That sounds like a very crowded market all of a sudden that Motorola is obviously unlikely to dominate, but in which the brand can absolutely continue to compete for the foreseeable future.
