Motorola unveils a broad IFA 2026 lineup in Berlin, led by the Edge 70 Plus and a Swarovski-crystal Razr 70 edition, along with the Wear OS 6 Moto Watch Ultra that features LTE.
The Edge 70 Plus sports a 6.78-inch Extreme AMOLED display, 144Hz refresh rate, IP64 dust/water resistance, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and a stainless-steel build with Pantone-validated colorways, including Mountain View and Nuthatch.
The Edge 70 Plus uses the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, up to 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage, with pricing around €529 for 8/128 and €599 for 256GB, and a position alongside the Edge 70 and Edge 70 Max in Motorola’s mid-range lineup.
The Edge 70 Plus delivers battery life up to two days, with a 15-minute fast charge providing about a full day of use, and a 6500 mAh capacity noted for all-day performance.
The Razr 70 Crystal edition pairs fashion with tech, featuring 35 hand-placed crystals on the back and a 32-facet hinge stone, bundled with a clear protective case to reduce snag risks.
The Razr 70 Crystal runs on Wear OS and supports LTE for calls and messaging when the phone isn’t nearby.
The Wear OS-powered Moto Watch Ultra comes with a 550 mAh battery, up to two days of typical use without Always-On Display, and a 15-minute quick charge delivering around 24 hours of use.
Audio and display features on the Edge 70 Plus include dual stereo speakers, Hi-Res certification, and Dolby Atmos for immersive sound.
Fitness and wellness features on the watch include Polar-based tracking, heart rate, SpO2, sleep analysis, inactivity reminders, and an AI-driven training guidance workflow.
The Edge 70 Plus supports LTE via eSIM, dual-frequency GPS for precise workouts, and Google Gemini integration for on-device AI features.
Google Gemini is integrated into the devices, including Gemini Live and Circle to Search, enhancing on-device AI capabilities.
Motorola highlights a crystal-focused edition alongside standard models, with the Edge 70 Plus and Edge 70 Plus Neo sharing a 6.78-inch display and Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, while the Neo emphasizes dynamic range and lower noise.
