Motorola is using IFA 2026 to refresh three parts of its lineup at once: a new mid-range flagship phone, its most capable smartwatch yet, and a wireless charging accessory, plus a Swarovski-crystal edition of the Razr for anyone who wants their foldable to sparkle.
What's new
The Edge 70 Plus leads with a 200MP main sensor, the highest resolution Motorola has put in a phone, backed by optical image stabilization, 10x Super Zoom, and 4K video recording. It's built on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 platform with a 6500mAh battery rated for up to 42 hours of talk time, and it's wrapped in a quad-curved design developed with Pantone that swaps sharp edges for a rounded, silk-textured feel.
The Moto Watch Ultra is Motorola's most capable smartwatch to date, built around a partnership with Polar for fitness and wellness tracking, and it's the first Moto watch with built-in LTE, letting it make calls and send texts without a phone nearby. The Moto Snap Wireless Charger delivers up to 25W on Qi2.2 devices, with a bump to 30W using Motorola's own charging protocol.
Why it matters
Motorola is treating this as a coordinated ecosystem push rather than a single phone launch, pairing hardware with Gemini access, Circle to Search, and (on the watch) Motorola's Qira assistant that can pull information from linked Lenovo and Motorola devices. The LTE-equipped watch in particular closes a real gap against rivals that already offer standalone connectivity.

Takeaway
None of these are radical departures from what Motorola already builds, but the coordinated push across phone, watch, and charger, plus the watch's new LTE capability, is the more meaningful story than any single spec bump.
