Edge 70 Max Promises Big Specs, But Global Reach and Chip Choice Spark Skepticism

Motorola’s Edge 70 Max looks strong on paper with a 7,100 mAh battery and 90W charging, a 6.82-inch LTPO display with up to 7,000 nits brightness, and magnetic wireless charging, all while aiming for a lower price than competitors. Yet the editor is skeptical: the phone is launching first in India only, risking a limited global footprint (no US/Europe confirmation yet), and it uses the non-Elite Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 instead of a true flagship chipset. Unless Motorola expands to more markets and delivers compelling value, the Edge 70 Max may remain promising but under-delivered. The piece leaves room for optimism if broader availability and strong pricing materialize.

Motorola Razr 70 Ultra blends premium build with bigger battery and camera upgrades

Motorola expands its Razr line with two new foldables: the Razr 70 Ultra (Razr Ultra 2026 in North America) and the regular Razr 70. The 70 Ultra keeps the 7.0-inch 165Hz inner display and 4.0-inch cover, plus the same Snapdragon 8 Elite, but adds a brighter screen and a 5,000mAh battery; it also features a wood-trim premium build and improved wide/selfie cameras. The standard Razr 70 moves to smaller 6.9-inch inner and 3.6-inch outer displays and uses a Dimensity 7450X, with less impressive ultrawide optics. Europe pricing starts at €1,360 for the 16/512GB config of the Ultra, and the box includes a cable and a soft-touch case (no charger).

The base Razr (2026) is the smart buy in Motorola's foldable lineup

Android Authority tester Stephen Radochia concludes the base Razr (2026) is the best value among Motorola's three foldables, delivering all-day battery life, a 3.6-inch external display, dual 50MP cameras, and MIL-STD durability at a more approachable price; the Razr Ultra and Razr Plus offer premium features but at significantly higher costs, making discounts crucial to the decision and likely keeping the base model appealing for most buyers.

Motorola Edge 2026: a lighter, cheaper Pixel 11 rival

Motorola unveiled the Edge 2026 at $600, packing a compact 6.3-inch, 160-gram body, a 5,000mAh battery with up to 60W charging, a triple-camera system (50MP primary, 50MP ultrawide, 10MP tele 3x), IP68/IP69 durability, Gorilla Glass 7i, and a Dimensity 7450 chip. Motorola argues this combination could undercut the Google Pixel 11 on price and weight while delivering competitive specs, making the Edge 2026 a strong Pixel 11 rival—though real-world performance and camera results will have to wait for hands-on testing. The Edge 2026 launches June 11.

Motorola devices hijack shopping apps to pocket affiliate commissions

Motorola smartphones are reportedly preinstalled with a hidden Smart Feed app that detects when you open a shopping app (like Amazon) and redirects you through a browser containing an affiliate link, enabling Motorola to earn commissions on purchases. The behavior, verified by 9to5Google, does not raise prices but collects user data and may violate affiliate-program terms; the feature can be disabled in device settings. Motorola has not publicly commented.

Moto Razr 2026: Eye-catching design, but the price bites

Motorola's 2026 Razr lineup emphasizes stylish design and outer-display gimmicks over top-tier hardware, with four models priced from $800 to $1,900. They look stunning and offer unique finishes, but durability concerns and the high cost make them poor value for many buyers; the base Razr is the sensible pick, while the Razr+ and Razr Ultra feel too expensive for what they deliver.

Motorola’s Smart Feed App Hijacks Shopping Links for Affiliate Earnings

Motorola devices with the preinstalled Smart Feed bloatware are reported to hijack shopping app links (e.g., Amazon), inserting affiliate codes and routing purchases through unknown parties. The behavior was confirmed via user logs and network traffic, with destinations like devicenative.com and kira-abboud.com linking to affiliate schemes. Motorola users can disable Smart Feed via Settings > Apps > Smart Feed > Disable. The root cause appears to be the Smart Feed software itself, not necessarily Motorola-wide intent, and a formal response from Motorola is anticipated.
