Smartphones, Foldables, and Accessories: CES 2026 New Products from Motorola

At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Motorola is showcasing several new products from various sectors. With the Signature smartphone, the manufacturer is venturing into the high-end segment.

The Motorola Signature is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, currently the fastest smartphone processor. Weighing in at a rather light 186 grams and with a thickness of just under seven millimeters (excluding the camera bump), this slim smartphone comes with 12 or 16 GB of RAM and between 256 GB and 1 TB of storage, depending on the model variant. The 6.8-inch OLED display boasts a maximum refresh rate of 165 Hertz and, according to the manufacturer, reaches a brightness of up to 6200 cd/m². The silicon-carbon battery has a capacity of 5200 mAh and supports charging currents of up to 90 watts.

The Signature features four 50-megapixel cameras, three on the back and one on the front. All of them use Sony sensors. The main camera with a large f/1.6 aperture is flanked by an ultra-wide-angle lens and a triple telephoto lens.

Just in time for the World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada, Motorola is launching a special version of its Razr foldable smartphone. Technically, the device is unchanged from the regular model, but visually it is distinct with a green back featuring the FIFA World Cup logo. It also includes exclusive graphics and wallpapers, a ringtone with the tournament song, and a FIFA watermark for photos. The Motorola Razr in the FIFA edition costs just under $700 in the US.

Smartwatch, Tracker, and More

The round Moto Watch is a new smartwatch developed in collaboration with Polar. The sandblasted aluminum frame encloses a 1.43-inch OLED display. With IP68 certification, the watch is protected against dust and water, but it is not suitable for diving. The maximum battery life is stated to be 13 days. All Android smartphones from version 12 onwards are compatible with the Moto Watch.

New to the accessory range is the Moto Pen Ultra. The stylus, supplied with its own charging case, is intended to provide Motorola smartphones like the Signature with an additional control option. It is not only used for writing, doodling, and drawing, but can also convert marked content into a note or prepare it for sharing with others. With Sketch to Image, the smartphone can create stylish AI images from user sketches in various styles.

Motorola is re-releasing the round Moto Tag tracker as the Tag 2. With UWB and Bluetooth, the small tracker, which is integrated into the Android device network, is designed to be easily locatable. A replaceable button cell is expected to power the Tag 2 for up to 500 days. The integrated button on the Bluetooth tracker can be used either for reverse finding to make a lost smartphone beep or to remotely trigger the camera.

For the Sound Flow Bluetooth speaker, Motorola has partnered with Bose. The cylindrical speaker transmits via WLAN and Bluetooth and can locate users' devices via UWB. This allows Motorola to adapt the sound to the current position in the room. The speaker's battery, which is charged on a small dock, has a capacity of 6000 mAh and is expected to provide up to 12 hours of playback. The Bluetooth speaker is IP68 protected against dust and water.

More AI and a Large Foldable

Motorola's parent company Lenovo is also presenting its new cross-device AI platform, Qira, at CES. "Lenovo Qira is not another assistant, but a new way intelligence is used on devices," says Dan Dery, VP of AI Ecosystem in Lenovo's Intelligent Devices Group. "Our goal is to present AI less as a tool that you use, and more as an intelligence that works with you continuously and naturally." Qira is intended to run on all Lenovo and Motorola devices and be deeply embedded in their respective systems. In addition to generative tasks for creating and processing text, images, and video, Qira will offer context-aware suggestions and assistance and support during meetings. The rollout is scheduled to begin in the current quarter, initially on Lenovo devices, and will be extended to Motorola smartphones later.

Motorola only offered a teaser, albeit an exciting one, for another foldable, the Razr Fold. This model will be Motorola's first large foldable, putting it in competition with devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 or the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. However, Motorola is not yet fully revealing the Razr Fold, which according to initial leaks is expected to cost well under 2000 Euros, likely waiting until MWC in Barcelona in early March.
