In summary:
- Tech Advisor reports that Motorola will unveil the Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra on April 29, with leaked specs revealing contrasting upgrade strategies.
- The regular Razr 70 appears more significantly upgraded, featuring a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X processor, larger 4,800mAh battery, and 50Mp telephoto camera replacing the ultra-wide lens.
- The Razr 70 Ultra may retain minimal changes from its predecessor, keeping the same Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and displays, potentially making the standard model more appealing.
The Motorola Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra will be announced next week, and the regular model is shaping up to be the bigger upgrade.
Over on X, Motorola has instructed us to: “Get ready to experience something new”. In a brief animated snippet, we catch a glimpse of the new Razr models, complete with the brand’s signature material finishes, followed by the date 29 April.
In other words, the Motorola Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra will be unveiled a week tomorrow.
We’ve heard a number of rumours about what to expect from Motorola’s next clamshell foldable phones.
Just last week we heard it claimed that the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra would feature few advancements on the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra, with similar dimensions of 171.48 x 73.99 x 7.19mm and 199g.
We also heard that the Razr 70 Ultra would feature the same pair of displays – a 4-inch 1272 x 1080 cover display and a 7-inch 2992 x 1224 internal screen. The triple 50Mp camera set-up should be unchanged, too.
Perhaps most concerning of all is the claim that the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra will run on exactly the same Snapdragon 8 Elite processor as before.
Why I’m not Ultra-excited
It’s all suggesting that Motorola is adopting the Google Pixel 10a approach to the current smartphone component price crisis – don’t change anything and charge the same price.
Or, at least, that’s the plan for the new Ultra model. But, following leaked design images, we’ve gained some insight into the regular Razr 70’s likely specifications.
French website Dealabs has posted a list of alleged specs, which include a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X processor. Unlike the Ultra model, this would seemingly be an advance (however big) on the Motorola Razr 60, which utilised the Mediatek Dimensity 7400X.
It’ll also have a larger 4,800mAh battery, and will apparently replace the underwhelming 13Mp ultra-wide camera with a dedicated 50Mp telephoto.
All in all, it potentially makes the regular Razr 70 seem a more exciting prospect than the Razr 70 Ultra.
