Motorola is gearing up a new flagship that, according to insiders, may debut as the Moto X70 Ultra, with the global edition expected to carry the Motorola Edge 70 Ultra name. The phone has surfaced in the Geekbench database, revealing a number of core specifications.
In the listing, the device appears under model number XT2603-1. The tests point to a Qualcomm chipset with six cores clocked at 3.32 GHz and two high-performance cores at 3.65 GHz, paired with Adreno 825 graphics. This setup lines up with earlier talk of the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. The trailing “1” in the model code is taken to indicate the Chinese variant, which in turn suggests the device belongs to the X70 Ultra series.
The benchmark also notes 16 GB of RAM and Android 16. It posts 2,634 points in single-core and 7,475 in multi-core runs—figures that sit squarely in flagship territory and hint at ambitions for the top tier.
Rumors add that the Moto X70 Ultra/Edge 70 Ultra will use a 1.5K OLED display and a periscope telephoto camera. While the rest remains under wraps, appearing on Geekbench typically signals internal testing is underway and a launch is drawing near. The expectation is a Chinese debut before year’s end, with the global Edge 70 Ultra to follow in the first half of 2026.
Motorola skipped the X60 Ultra/Edge 60 Ultra generation, so the X70 Ultra/Edge 70 Ultra would directly succeed last year’s X50 Ultra/Edge 50 Ultra.
