What you need to know
- Motorola's Edge 70 series could expand, as the 70 Pro reportedly had its rendering leak with several colors and textures in tow.
- The device is reportedly arriving in a light green hue with a "satin-luxe" texture, per an X tipster, as well as a maroon and deep blue colorway with a "fabric" feel.
- The Edge 70 Ultra made it into reports late last year, as reports suggest it might feel closer to a flagship with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC.
As the week winds down, rumors about Motorola's next slab phones want time in the spotlight, and they're doing so in a colorful way.
The rumors about the Motorola Edge 70 Pro stem from YTechB, claiming the device could debut in four colorways. First, the publication taps leaker Intakhab on X, who posted an alleged snapshot of the Edge 70 Pro in some nearly official-looking material. Supposedly, the phone is preparing a light green color option with a "satin-luxe" finish. What's more, the X post says the device might also see a deep blue hue with a "tailored-fabric" finish and a white "marble" finish.
I love a good red color, and what's rumored for the Edge 70 Pro looks very nice (let's just hope it's real). Moto's also been going in on different colors and textures for its phones. If you saw what was recently rumored for the Razr 2026, you'll know what I'm talking about.
The publication jumped in, offering its own set of alleged Moto Edge 70 Pro renderings in three colorways. One render gives us an idea of what the deep blue (Pantone Titan) option looks like with the fabric finish. Rumors add that a Pantone Zifandel, which looks a bit like maroon, could debut with a smooth, clean finish. Lastly, the report claims a wood option could debut, which looks pretty dark, almost like walnut.

Taking the edge
These rumors mention one other aspect of the Edge 70 Pro: a "quad-curved display." This is particularly interesting since the Edge 70 debuted with a completely flat display. The design was largely similar to the 2025 model, aside from the color accents on the raised camera lenses. The renders for the Edge 70 Pro by the tipster on X double down on the accented lenses, but you can also vaguely make out the curved display.
I'm sure everyone's got their own take on a curved display. After using it for so long on the Edge Plus 2023, I've grown a little tired of it. A curved display is nice, I enjoyed the edge lighting Motorola has, but it gets old. You're sort of sacrificing a little bit of screen space for the curve, as it bends down and away from you. With a flat display, I feel like I have more. And it doesn't make gaming so weird.
The Moto Edge 70 is also pretty thin, so you can speculate the Pro version would retain that level of design, too. Rumors pile on for the 70 series, as we've already gotten the Edge 70, just not in the U.S. We're now seeing reports about a potential 70 Pro, but there's also the Ultra. The 70 Ultra had its own report late last year, as Motorola could push into a more premium segment.
The phone was speculated to receive a soft, textured back panel, as well as Qualcomm's newest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC. One thing we're still curious about is whether or not we'll see any of these phones this year.
