Motorola Razr 70 Ultra renders leak in wood and Alcantara finishes, show off design
Motorola’s next Razr doesn’t look unfamiliar, and it doesn’t need to as it’s been a well-received design so far. After the CAD renders leak a few days ago, fresh press renders of the Razr 70 Ultra have also come out and they show a device that sticks to the same design language as last year, while making further use of materials that helped the Razr 60 Ultra stand out.
Shared by OnLeaks via Android Headlines, the renders show the Razr 70 Ultra in Pantone Cocoa Wood and Orient Blue Alcantara. Motorola used both wood and Alcantara-style finishes on the Razr 60 Ultra as well, and that approach carries forward here rather than shifting back to glass. There’s also a good chance these aren’t the only options. The device has already been tipped in a Pantone African Violet colour, and last year’s model shipped in four finishes, suggesting a similar spread this time.

Similar to the Razr 60 Ultra, barring one detail
Placed next to the Razr 60 Ultra, the similarities are clear. The large cover display still wraps around the dual cameras, the hinge design remains the same, and the overall proportions are unchanged. The update is in the finish, not the form. One detail that stands out is the missing front camera cutout on the inner display in these renders. The Razr 60 Ultra used a standard punch-hole. Its absence here raises two possibilities: either Motorola is moving to an under-display camera, or the element has simply not been shown in the render. At this stage, the latter seems more likely, but there’s no confirmation yet.
On the hardware side, the Razr 70 Ultra is expected to follow the same pattern as last year. It’s tipped to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, replacing the Snapdragon 8 Elite used in the Razr 60 Ultra. Memory and storage could again go up to 16GB RAM and 512GB, with a possible 1TB variant. Camera hardware is likely unchanged in structure, with dual 50MP sensors on the outside and a 50MP front camera. Battery capacity is expected to stay around 4,700mAh, paired with 68W charging over USB-C PD, which remains competitive for a flip-style foldable. The display setup is also expected to remain similar, with a large inner screen and a fully usable outer display.
Motorola’s Razr series continues to compete with Samsung’s Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 in the premium flip segment. Samsung focuses on software support and ecosystem features, while Motorola differentiates through design, materials, and a cleaner Android experience.
The Razr 70 Ultra keeps the same strengths as the 60 Ultra, with design and in-hand feel doing much of the differentiation, while hardware sees incremental updates. Motorola hasn’t announced a launch date yet, but based on previous timelines, an announcement later this month is likely. An earlier launch could also align with seasonal releases tied to major events like the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
The flip phone segment itself hasn’t seen major changes recently, with only Samsung actively refreshing its lineup every year, especially in India. Motorola’s USP remains design and usability, especially with a more functional outer display and distinct finishes. If the appeal of a flip phone is as much about form factor and in-hand feel as everyday use, the Razr line continues to stand out. If long-term updates, camera consistency, or ecosystem features matter more, alternatives like Samsung’s Flip series still hold an edge.
