Motorola IFA 2026 lineup mixes a Swarovski razr 70 with a 200MP Edge 70 Plus and a Qira watch

Motorola IFA 2026 lineup

Motorola's IFA 2026 lineup in Berlin runs from a foldable dressed in Swarovski crystals to a 200-megapixel camera phone, and it adds the company's first wearable with the Qira assistant built in. The devices arrived on September 3 at Lenovo Innovation World during IFA 2026, where Lenovo also pressed its plan to put one personal AI across PCs, phones, and wearables.

The centerpiece of the fashion side is the motorola razr with Crystals by Swarovski, a dressed-up edition of the razr 70 foldable that Motorola introduced in April. A 3D-quilted back panel in a Pantone Meteorite finish carries 35 hand-positioned Swarovski crystals, with a larger 32-facet crystal set into the hinge. Beneath the decoration the phone matches the standard razr 70: a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X chip, 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of storage, a 6.9-inch inner AMOLED, and a 3.63-inch external display that runs full apps while the device is folded shut. Motorola rates the 4,500mAh battery for about 36 hours of use per charge.

The sparkle does not come cheap. UK pricing starts at £899.99, £100 more than the £799 standard razr 70, with sales opening September 15 through John Lewis, Selfridges, and Motorola's own online store. Pricing and availability for other markets have not been announced.

What the premium buys is cosmetic rather than technical, since the crystal edition keeps the standard model's internals, dual 50-megapixel rear cameras, and 32-megapixel selfie camera. The phone joins Motorola's Brilliant Collection and is the second crystal-covered razr from the company's work with Swarovski, a signal that the foldable is being sold as jewelry as much as technology.

Edge 70 Plus pairs a 200MP sensor with a big battery

The Edge 70 Plus answers a different question: what a camera-first Motorola phone can do. It carries a 200-megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilization, 10x Super Zoom, and 4K recording, which Motorola calls the highest-resolution camera it has ever shipped. A 32-megapixel selfie camera and a dedicated macro lens handle the rest of the shooting.

The screen is a 6.78-inch quad-curved Extreme AMOLED with a 144Hz refresh rate and 5,200 nits of peak brightness, driven by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage. Battery capacity climbs to 6,500mAh, with 45W TurboPower wired charging and a bypass mode that powers the phone directly during long gaming sessions. Pantone Validated color calibration and Dolby Atmos audio round out the media package. UK pricing starts at £499.99.

That spec mix places the Edge 70 Plus in the upper mid-range, aimed at buyers who care more about photos and battery life than raw processor speed. Motorola also filled out the accessories tray with the Moto Snap, a magnetic Qi2.2 wireless charging puck that delivers up to 25W to compatible phones and 30W to Motorola hardware while drawing almost no power when idle. It is priced at £39.99 in the UK, and the phone, watch, and charger all begin reaching the UK and Irish markets this month.

Qira ties the Motorola IFA 2026 lineup together

The Moto Watch Ultra is the first Motorola watch with LTE, able to take calls with no phone in range, and the first Motorola wearable to support Lenovo and Motorola Qira. Its 46mm case runs Wear OS on a Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chip, pairs Polar health-tracking features with a 1.5-inch pOLED display rated at 2,700 nits, and draws on a 550mAh battery. It costs £369 in the UK and €429 in Europe.

Qira is the reason the watch matters beyond fitness. Owners can raise the wrist or say the wake phrase Hey Qira to ask questions and trigger actions, and Lenovo says the assistant will also reach eligible edge, razr, and signature phones with the Android 17 update. The expansion is gradual and varies by device and market, and it runs alongside Qira support across an increasing number of eligible Lenovo PCs. Lenovo frames the goal as one personal AI spanning multiple devices, an approach that turns the phone, laptop, and watch into points on the same assistant rather than separate feature sets.

A cross-device assistant changes how Motorola competes. Once Qira holds a user's questions and context across phone, laptop, and watch, staying inside the Lenovo and Motorola family becomes simpler than rebuilding that setup with a rival, the same pull that keeps large ecosystems sticky. Lenovo made the point structurally at the Berlin event, where Qira announcements sat beside new consumer PCs including NVIDIA RTX Spark-powered Yoga creator laptops, IdeaPad Vibe models, and IdeaCentre all-in-ones.

Why this matters

Read as one batch, the Motorola IFA 2026 lineup makes two bets: that a foldable can win on looks, and that consumers want one assistant that follows them across phone, PC, and watch instead of separate AI features on each device. The crystal razr 70 carries the style bet, and the Moto Watch Ultra is the first test of whether Qira feels like a connected assistant rather than a voice app on another screen. The watch ships before the Android 17-era phone rollout completes, so early owners will see how much of that promise holds.
