The wait for Motorola’s next big flip phone is almost over. If you have been waiting to buy a stylish foldable phone in 2026, we have good news.
The Motorola Razr 70 has officially appeared on certification websites, which usually means the global launch is just a few weeks away. This phone will replace the popular Razr 60 and aims to compete directly with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series.
Here is everything we know so far about the Motorola Razr 70, including its expected price in India, new features, and launch timeline.
Motorola Razr 70: What Happened?
Recently, the Motorola Razr 70 was spotted on the TDRA (Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority) certification website in the UAE.
Why does this matter? When a smartphone gets certified by government agencies like TDRA, BIS (India), or FCC (USA), it means the phone is finished, tested, and ready to be sold.
The listing revealed the model number XT2657-8. While the official listing didn’t show all the photos, leaks from industry insiders have given us a clear picture of what to expect.

Expected Specifications: What’s New?
Motorola is known for making foldable phones affordable and stylish. The Razr 70 seems to follow this trend but with some powerful upgrades over the Razr 60.
1. Display and Design
The Razr 70 is expected to keep the loved “flip” design but with a slimmer body.
- Main Screen: A tall 6.9-inch LTPO pOLED display. It will likely support a 120Hz or 144Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling.
- Cover Screen: The outer screen (the one you use when the phone is closed) is expected to be 3.63 inches. This is large enough to reply to WhatsApp messages, check maps, or control music without opening the phone.
2. Processor and Performance
This is where things get interesting. Unlike the “Ultra” model which uses the most expensive chips, the standard Razr 70 focuses on balance.
- Chipset: Leaks suggest it will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X. This is a strong processor that can handle gaming and heavy multitasking easily, without draining the battery too fast.
- RAM/Storage: We expect the base model to start with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
3. Camera Upgrades
Foldable phones often struggle with cameras, but Motorola is improving this.
- Rear Cameras: A dual setup is likely, featuring a 50MP main camera (with OIS for stable videos) and a 13MP ultra-wide camera.
- Selfie Camera: A high-resolution 32MP front camera for sharp video calls and selfies.
4. Battery and Charging
Battery life is the biggest worry for flip phone users. The Razr 70 is rumored to pack a 4,500mAh battery. This is a decent size for a flip phone. It will likely support 30W TurboPower fast charging and 15W wireless charging.
Motorola Razr 70 Price in India (Expected)
Motorola has been very aggressive with pricing in India. The previous Razr 60 launched at a very competitive price, and we expect the Razr 70 to stay in the “affordable flagship” range.
- Expected Price: ₹49,999 to ₹54,999
- Launch Offer Price: With bank offers, it could effectively cost around ₹45,000.
If this pricing is true, the Razr 70 will be much cheaper than Samsung’s Flip phones, making it a great option for first-time foldable buyers.
When Will It Launch?
Since the phone has already cleared certifications in February 2026, an official announcement is very close.
- Global Launch: Likely in March or April 2026.
- India Launch: Motorola usually brings these phones to India very quickly, possibly within weeks of the global event.
Why This Matters for Indian Users
India is one of the fastest-growing markets for premium phones. In 2025, we saw many users switching to flip phones because they fit easily in pockets and look unique.
However, durability and price were barriers. With the Razr 70, Motorola addresses both. The Dimensity 7400X chip is efficient (saves battery), and the sub-₹55,000 price tag makes it accessible to more people.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Is the Motorola Razr 70 waterproof?
Most modern Razr phones come with an IP rating (water-repellent design). While it may not be fully waterproof like diving gear, it should easily survive rain and splashes.
Q2: Does the Razr 70 have a crease on the screen?
Motorola uses a special “teardrop” hinge that makes the crease almost invisible compared to other brands. The Razr 70 is expected to have a very smooth screen.
Q3: What is the difference between Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra?
The Razr 70 Ultra will be the more expensive version. It will likely have a bigger cover screen (4 inches+), a faster Snapdragon processor, and better cameras. The standard Razr 70 is the budget-friendly version.
Q4: Will it support 5G in India?
Yes, the Motorola Razr 70 will fully support all Indian 5G bands (Jio and Airtel).
