Motorola is gearing up to launch the Edge 70 Ultra, skipping the Edge 60 Ultra generation entirely.

Motorola Edge 70 Ultra Expected Specifications

Why Motorola Skipped Edge 60 Ultra

Following Motorola’s biennial Ultra release cycle, the company is jumping directly from the Edge 50 Ultra to the Edge 70 Ultra. Tipster @ZionsAnvin broke the news on X (formerly Twitter), confirming the Edge 70 Ultra will feature cutting-edge specs that position it against flagship competitors from Samsung and Apple.

Premium Features to Expect

The Edge 70 Ultra will feature a vibrant OLED display with 1.5K resolution, ensuring crisp visuals for streaming and gaming. A standout addition is the periscope telephoto camera—a feature typically reserved for ultra-premium devices—enabling superior zoom capabilities without sacrificing image quality. Motorola promises a slim, lightweight design that won’t compromise on power or features.

How It Compares to Edge 50 Ultra

The predecessor Edge 50 Ultra featured a 6.7-inch P-OLED screen with 144Hz refresh rate and triple cameras (50MP main, 64MP periscope, 50MP ultrawide). Powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, it included a 4,500mAh battery with impressive 125W wired and 50W wireless charging. The Edge 70 Ultra is expected to build on this foundation with upgraded processing power and enhanced photography capabilities.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, debuting soon in devices like the OnePlus Ace 6 Pro Max, promises better efficiency and performance than previous generations. While Motorola hasn’t announced an official release date, industry watchers anticipate a launch within the coming months.
