Motorola unveiled the Edge 70 Plus smartphone, a special Swarovski crystal Razr 70 (Razr 2026 in the US), the Watch Ultra with Polar smarts, and the magnetic Snap charger at IFA 2026. The Edge 70 Plus features four Pantone-curated colors with unique textures: Mountain View (forest green, silk-inspired), Gray Lilac (mauve-grey acetate), Milky Blue (soft blue, soft-luxe), and Sage (muted eucalyptus green, soft-luxe). Its two-sided quad-curved design enhances grip and screen immersion.

The 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED display offers vibrant colors and slim bezels. Durability includes IP64, MIL-STD-810H certification, and Gorilla Glass 7i for improved scratch and drop resistance. Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 with 8GB LPDDR5X RAM (expandable to 24GB via RAM Boost), it runs Android 16 with Google AI features like Gemini and Circle to Search.

Battery capacity is 6,500mAh, supporting up to 42 hours talk time, 34 hours video streaming, or 23 hours social scrolling. Charging includes 45W Turbo Power wired and bypass charging for reduced heat during gaming. Camera setup features a single 200MP main sensor with OIS and f/1.8 lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 32MP selfie camera.

The device emphasizes design and balanced performance as an upper mid-ranger.
