Motorola has not confirmed the phone's specs, leaving timing projections centered on an early-to-mid 2026 debut.

Overview

  • Evan Blass reports Qualcomm indicated the Edge 70 Ultra, codenamed Urus, will use Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 rather than the Elite tier.
  • A Geekbench listing for the Chinese Moto X70 Ultra variant shows 16GB of RAM and scores of 2,636 single-core and 7,475 multi-core.
  • Alleged promotional renders point to a soft, textured back and a squared camera housing with a triple-camera array and LED flash.
  • The images depict right-side power and volume buttons, while the display shape is not shown and remains uncertain.
