Motorola is gearing up to shake up the Android market with the upcoming Signature phone, rumored to be called the Edge 70 Ultra, positioned alongside the mid-range Edge 70. This unique device recently made waves in the rumor mill following an unexpected branding shift, setting it apart from the typical Edge lineup and revealing a breathtaking design for the first time. Today, fresh leaks showcase the Signature phone’s elegant "Carbon" and "Martini Olive" color options in unprecedented detail.
Are Curves Your Thing?
If you’re a fan of sleek, curved form factors, the Motorola Signature is likely to capture your attention. Unlike Motorola’s usual Edge-branded phones, which tend to offer a more conservative design, the Signature sports aggressively curved edges reminiscent of some of the company’s premium models over the past years, including the recently launched Edge 50 Ultra flagship.

Interestingly, Motorola skipped an Edge 60 Ultra model altogether, possibly motivating the new naming choice. With the Edge 50 Ultra debuting in May 2024, many expected a spring 2026 release window for the Signature, but the wave of leaks hints at a much sooner launch—perhaps as early as next month.
The phone’s textured rear panel and rear camera setup have also been revealed in detail, confirming a triple-camera system consisting of a 12-71mm telephoto lens, a primary Sony Lytia sensor, and optical image stabilization technology.
Specs That Impress
The Signature is expected to pack powerful specs, including a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a 6.7-inch curved display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, and three 50MP rear cameras. Rumors also suggest a built-in stylus to complement the name, bringing it head-to-head with Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra in terms of functionality and versatility.
Additional unconfirmed but anticipated features include up to 16GB of RAM, Android 16 software, and storage options ranging from 256GB to 1TB. Although battery specs and charging speeds remain uncertain, speculation points towards a substantial 5,000mAh-plus battery, potentially reaching 6,000mAh or more—especially considering the device’s thicker build compared to the super-slim Edge 70, which manages a 4,800mAh capacity in just 6mm thickness.

The leak also included an advertising tagline, “Crafted for the visionaries,” signaling a bold marketing approach from Motorola to highlight the Signature as a premium Android flagship with unique stylus capabilities.

If priced competitively—potentially a few hundred dollars less than Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra—the Motorola Signature could carve out a significant place in the premium smartphone market. High-end Android phones with built-in styluses are scarce, and this refreshing new design is guaranteed to attract attention and offer an appealing alternative for users seeking something beyond mainstream Samsung and Apple offerings.
