Motorola is reportedly working on an exciting high-end phone… for 2026
If it feels like something is still missing from Motorola’s expansive Edge 60 handset portfolio, I may have some bad news for you today… and some (relatively) good news. According to one of the most prolific and quite possibly the most trustworthy mobile tech leaker out there, the “regular” Edge 60, Edge 60 Stylus, Edge 60 Pro, and Edge 60 Fusion “might” not get an Ultra sibling.
You may have figured as much based on the complete lack of Motorola Edge 60 Ultra information in the public space right now, but interestingly enough, Evan Blass claims there’s “definitely” an Edge 70 Ultra in the pipeline.
Unfortunately, we have no idea how this undoubtedly ultra-powerful device will look and exactly what specs it could offer, but there’s clearly a good chance it’ll resemble the “vanilla” Edge 70 surprisingly leaked last month. If Motorola doesn’t radically revise its product launch schedule, the new family of “edgy” Android smartphones is likely to only see daylight next year, which makes these rumors… kind of weird and totally premature.
What’s also undeniably bizarre is that the company apparently doesn’t plan to release a sequel for last year’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3-powered Edge 50 Ultra, leaving the MediaTek Dimensity 8350-based Edge 60 Pro as the top dog of the 2025 Edge lineup.
Of course, you also have to consider the possibility that the Edge 70 and Edge 70 Ultra will come out by the end of this year to better compete against the likes of Apple’s iPhone 17 series and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE. That… would be pretty weird as well, but Motorola is certainly not the most conventional or predictable Android handset vendor out there anyway.
If real, it would definitely be nice if the Edge 70 Ultra could return Motorola to a two-model US launch strategy too after the mid-range Edge (2024) and Edge (2025) landed without higher-end Plus siblings. But I’m clearly getting ahead of myself here when there are so many basic details we still don’t know about the company’s future “international” Edge devices.
