Motorola used IFA week in Berlin to turn its cheapest current flip phone into a small piece of evening jewelry. Officially named motorola razr with Crystals by Swarovski and sold as a Razr 70 in Europe (Razr 2026 in the United States), this Brilliant Collection edition keeps every chip, camera, and screen from the April handset and spends its budget on finish. PANTONE Meteorite is the color, a deep charcoal that sits still until light hits it. Across a quilted, leather-inspired back sit 35 hand-positioned Silver Night crystals, with one larger 32-facet stone set into the hinge so each open-and-close motion throws a flash.

Some phones chase every new feature and leave most people behind. This one stays close to the ground and works through ordinary hours without complaint. Motorola built the Moto G Play (2024) around a clear idea: give people a large screen, a battery that lasts, and a camera that handles daylight without drama, all for $99.99 (was $150).

Most people do not need a phone that can render complex games at max settings or shoot cinematic video. They need something that answers calls without lag, holds a charge through a full day of texts and maps, and costs little enough that losing or breaking it does not ruin the month. The Moto G Play 2024, priced at $99.99 (was $150), aims squarely at that reality.

Motorola has officially unveiled all of the specifics about their new book-style foldable phone, the Razr Fold, and if you live in the United States, you’ll have to pay $1,900 for it. This is the company’s first foray into book-like foldable phones, providing all the space of a tablet while yet fitting in your pocket.

Anbernic has a habit of keeping things interesting, and a recently leaked video has the handheld gaming community talking all over again. At first glance the device looks like a straightforward silver square with a touchscreen, the kind of form factor that plenty of companies have tried before. Then it moves, and that is where things get interesting. The screen flips and rotates in a way that will immediately remind anyone old enough of the Motorola FlipOut, and suddenly it becomes clear that Anbernic is doing something nobody quite expected.

Motorola debuted the RAZR Fold during the 2026 Mobile World Congress. Now, this is their first foldable phone that can be opened like a book rather than simply flipping the lid shut. Bottom line, the device came with a solid set of hardware options that actually address some of the issues you’d ordinarily dislike about foldables, such as short battery life, poor screens in sunlight, and cameras that can’t compete with the big guys.

Lenovo and Motorola have recently introduced Qira, a personal AI assistant that connects their laptops, cellphones, and everything in between. Qira debuted at CES 2026 in Las Vegas and is essentially their solution to the existing jumble of AI interactions dispersed over a variety of devices.

Motorola spent years perfecting the art of flip phones under the RAZR brand, and now the nostalgia seems genuinely current with devices that fold the other way. They’re going to push the boundaries still again with a new model, called the RAZR Fold, that folds out horizontally.

Take the Motorola Edge 70 out of its recycled-cardboard box and your fingers will notice first: 159 grams of phone that feels like a credit card in a nylon sweater. At 5.99 mm thick, this handset slips into a shirt pocket without a ripple, yet an aircraft-grade aluminum spine runs its length, ready to shrug off drops that would crumple lesser frames. Bronze Green, Lily Pad, or Gadget Grey—each color carries Pantone’s seal of approval for true-to-life color, while a subtle weave on the back keeps fingerprints at bay and adds grip no glass slab can match.
