Razr 70 Ultra leak shows how Motorola plans to impress you with bold new finishes

Motorola is gearing up to launch the successor to last year’s Razr 60 Ultra. Early CAD renders recently offered a first look at the device, suggesting that the upcoming Razr 70 Ultra won’t change much in terms of design. However, a new leak now hints that Motorola could focus on unique colors and finishes to help it stand out.

What are the new color options?

Reliable tipster OnLeaks has shared press renders (via Android Headlines) of the Razr 70 Ultra in two standout finishes: Orient Blue Alcantara and Pantone Cocoa Wood. The Orient Blue variant is expected to feature a faux leather back with a diamond stitch pattern, giving it a premium look and feel. The Cocoa option, on the other hand, could feature a wood-like texture with visible grain.

Instead of just offering the device in different shades like most smartphone makers, Motorola appears to be giving each color a distinct finish, adding a tactile element that goes beyond standard glossy or matte coatings. With the overall design expected to remain unchanged, the finishes should help the company differentiate the new model from its predecessor.

Motorola has already taken this approach with previous Razr models, offering vegan leather backs and Pantone-inspired colors. The Razr 70 Ultra seems to be taking that a step further by pairing bold colors with more noticeable textures. It’s a subtle shift, but one that could make the device feel more unique.

What else do we know about the Razr 70 Ultra?

Although Motorola hasn’t officially shared any details yet, the device is expected to pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The images also suggest that Motorola may stick with a dual-camera setup, though it’s unclear if there will be any sensor upgrades.

More details should surface in the coming weeks ahead of the official launch, which could take place later this month. Motorola unveiled the Razr 60 Ultra in April last year, so it’s likely the successor will arrive around the same time.
