Motorola Razr 70 Ultra charging leak sets early battery expectations

A new 3C filing points to 68W wired charging, offering one of the first useful clues about Motorola’s next foldable.

A fresh 3C filing offers the clearest early look yet at Motorola’s Razr 70 Ultra, and the most useful detail is also the most practical. The listing points to 68W wired charging, which lines up with the current model instead of hinting at a bigger leap.

Foldables are usually judged less by one flashy spec and more by how well the whole package works day to day. Charging speed, battery life, and heat all shape that experience. If this leak holds up, Motorola seems to be sticking with a setup it already trusts.

The filing ties the phone to model number XT2655-4 and says it could carry a 4,700mAh battery. Together, those details make the filing more useful than a simple certification sighting. They start to show what kind of upgrade Motorola may actually be building.

The charging number matters

The 68W figure is still the anchor here because it’s the clearest spec linked to the filing. It gives buyers an early baseline, and it also suggests Motorola isn’t chasing a bigger number just for attention.

That may sound conservative, but it’s not necessarily a weakness. If the company can improve battery tuning or overall efficiency, the phone could still feel better in daily use without changing the headline wattage. For an Ultra foldable, that would be a smarter gain than a minor speed bump on paper.

Battery size changes the read

The 4,700mAh battery adds context that the charging figure alone cannot. In a slim foldable, battery capacity, thickness, and refill speed are always linked, so this starts to look like a balance play rather than a spec race.

That’s why the early battery picture matters more than the raw wattage. A phone that lasts longer and tops up quickly enough is often more appealing than one that posts a slightly higher peak number. At this stage, that seems like the more sensible way to read the Razr 70 Ultra.

What still needs confirmation

The biggest unanswered pieces are now the ones around that charging spec. Wireless charging isn’t confirmed in this filing, and neither is how Motorola plans to handle thermal performance under load. Those details will decide whether this familiar setup still feels competitive.

The Razr 70 Ultra could use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, which may help with power efficiency if Motorola tunes it well. Until the launch is official, the Razr 70 Ultra looks more like a refinement than a charging reset.

Apple is rolling out a new tool to help retail stores tackle iPhone return fraud and reduce wasted inventory. Some buyers reportedly remove accessories, strip components from devices, or take the phones themselves before returning the packaging, sometimes reselling the parts through aftermarket channels.

To prevent this, store employees have been opening even sealed boxes to verify their contents, but doing so can make otherwise sellable products require additional processing. Apple’s new device can scan an iPhone inside its sealed box and run diagnostics to check whether it is intact. Built on its Presto technology, the tool is now reaching retail stores.

Vivo X500 Pro Max first impressions: Vivo came to play, and the competition should be nervous
Vivo X500 Pro Max

Vivo could have played it safe with the X500 series. Give the phones a slightly faster processor, slap on a new coat of paint, throw around a few AI buzzwords, and call it a day. Nobody would have been particularly surprised. Thankfully, Vivo seems to have had other ideas.

The new X500 lineup consists of three phones: the X500, X500 Pro, and X500 Pro Max. But don't let the names fool you into thinking these are simply three sizes of the same phone. Each model has its own identity, with differences in display size, processing power, and camera hardware. The X500 gets a 6.59-inch display and the Dimensity 9600M, while the compact X500 Pro packs a 6.36-inch screen and the flagship Dimensity 9600 Pro. Then there's the X500 Pro Max, the big boss of the family, with a larger display, upgraded cameras, and the same flagship silicon.

Google Messages is getting a powerful new weapon against sneaky text scams
Google Messages is getting smarter about scams, with Gemini helping catch threats before you fall for them.
Scam Detection in Google Messages

Scam messages aren't always as obvious as a suspicious link or a text claiming you've won a lottery you never entered. Some scammers are clever enough to start perfectly normal conversations, gradually earn your trust, and only reveal what they're after when it's too late.

Google wants to make those tricks harder to pull off. Earlier this month, the company announced a new Enhanced Protection mode for Google Messages, and it's now starting to roll out to Android users. The optional setting adds more powerful AI-based scam detection, smarter checks for suspicious links, and extra warnings designed to keep you from making a costly mistake.
