Motorola Spiffs Up the Razr With Swarovski Meteorite Finish, Adds Watch Ultra and Edge 70 Plus

Motorola has given the iconic Razr smartphone a glamorous makeover at the IFA fair in Berlin, adding Swarovski crystal embellishments and a metallic meteorite color. The new Razr 2026, also called Razr 70 in Europe, features 35 crystals on its quilted back and 32 on the hinge, creating a sparkling effect. Priced at $800, the regular model received an 8/10 rating from our review due to its attractive cover screen and fast charging feature.

To further dazzle, Motorola introduced Swarovski-studded variants costing €1,000 ($1,159). Alongside the Razr, Motorola unveiled two powerful phones: the Edge 70 Plus and Edge 70 Plus Neo. These devices boast larger batteries (6,500-mAh and 7,000-mAh) compared to the original Edge 70, ensuring all-day battery life. Notably, the Edge 70 Plus includes a 200-megapixel main camera, while the Neo features a 50-megapixel Sony LYTIA 710 sensor, which promises superior low-light performance.

Meanwhile, Motorola presented the Moto Watch Ultra, an LTE version of the earlier Moto Watch. With a bigger 1.5-inch OLED screen and enhanced functionality, it comes with an LTE connection and is sponsored by Polar for advanced sleep and activity tracking. Priced at €429 ($497), the Watch Ultra is more expensive than the Moto Watch, which retails for $150.

Motorola also showcased the Moto Snap Wireless Charger, capable of 25-watt fast wireless charging for Qi-compatible devices and up to 30 watts for Motorola-specific devices.
