Leaked press renders suggest Motorola is betting on unique textures and materials to help the Razr 70 Ultra stand out, even as the overall design stays largely unchanged.

Motorola is gearing up to launch the successor to last year’s Razr 60 Ultra. Early CAD renders recently offered a first look at the device, suggesting that the upcoming Razr 70 Ultra won’t change much in terms of design. However, a new leak now hints that Motorola could focus on unique colors and finishes to help it stand out.

What are the new color options?

Reliable tipster OnLeaks has shared press renders (via Android Headlines) of the Razr 70 Ultra in two standout finishes: Orient Blue Alcantara and Pantone Cocoa Wood. The Orient Blue variant is expected to feature a faux leather back with a diamond stitch pattern, giving it a premium look and feel. The Cocoa option, on the other hand, could feature a wood-like texture with visible grain.

Instead of just offering the device in different shades like most smartphone makers, Motorola appears to be giving each color a distinct finish, adding a tactile element that goes beyond standard glossy or matte coatings. With the overall design expected to remain unchanged, the finishes should help the company differentiate the new model from its predecessor.

Motorola has already taken this approach with previous Razr models, offering vegan leather backs and Pantone-inspired colors. The Razr 70 Ultra seems to be taking that a step further by pairing bold colors with more noticeable textures. It’s a subtle shift, but one that could make the device feel more unique.

What else do we know about the Razr 70 Ultra?

Although Motorola hasn’t officially shared any details yet, the device is expected to pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The images also suggest that Motorola may stick with a dual-camera setup, though it’s unclear if there will be any sensor upgrades.

More details should surface in the coming weeks ahead of the official launch, which could take place later this month. Motorola unveiled the Razr 60 Ultra in April last year, so it’s likely the successor will arrive around the same time.

Discord calls finally get end-to-end encryption, but your DMs didn’t make the cut 
Discord spent three years building one of the most cross-platform encryption systems ever shipped, and it doesn’t cover the part of the app that forms the basis of day-to-day communication.

Discord just completed something it started back in 2023, and while the result is genuinely impressive, there’s a big asterisk in place. 

As of early March 2026, every standard voice and video call on Discord is end-to-end encrypted (E2EE), and you don’t have to toggle any switches, as the feature is enabled by default. The encryption is based on DAVE, which, for the uninitiated, is Discord’s own open-source protocol.

At the I/O 2026, Google rebuilt two of YouTube’s core experiences from the ground up, and the results look genuinely useful. First, YouTube search is getting a new feature called Ask YouTube, which is more like AI Mode, but for the vast library of videos on the platform.

Then there’s Gemini Omni, Google’s “create anything from anything” tool, which will be available in the YouTube Shorts Remix and Create app, the most disruptive announcement for creators. However, while Omni remains free for now, Ask YouTube is locked behind a paywall.
