Motorola has confirmed the arrival in Spain of a very special edition of its foldable phone. It's the Razr 70 with Crystals by Swarovski , a limited edition that focuses on design as its main selling point to compete in the high-end market. The device, developed in collaboration with Pantone and Swarovski, will be available in the coming weeks through the manufacturer's online store with a suggested retail price of €999.
This design is more than just a color change. The company has transformed the phone into a near-jewelry object, with a soft-touch, cushioned surface adorned with 35 Swarovski Silver Night crystals, each one meticulously placed by hand . Furthermore, the hinge, a defining feature of clamshell phones, boasts a larger crystal with 32 facets that catches the light with every opening and closing. It's a detail designed for those who want their phone to reflect their personal style.
A STRATEGY THAT HAS BEEN IN THE BACK: THE BRILLIANT COLLECTION
The new model is part of the Brilliant Collection, Motorola's line of products most associated with luxury and personalization. This isn't the first time the brand has partnered with Swarovski: the first installment of this collection was launched in August 2025 with another razr and the motobuds loop earbuds, both adorned with crystals and finished in the PANTONE Ice Melt color. Now, the 2026 edition updates the formula with the PANTONE Meteorite color and a new crystal arrangement, while maintaining the essence: transforming the phone into a fashion accessory.
The model arrived in Spain after its international launch at IFA 2026, where Motorola also showcased other products such as the Edge 70 Plus and the Moto Watch Ultra. However, the Swarovski edition will be sold directly through the brand's website, reinforcing its limited and exclusive nature. The number of units to be available has not been disclosed, a detail that, along with the price, helps position the product as a special edition.
THE TECHNOLOGICAL BASIS: A COMPLETELY FOLDABLE PRODUCT
Beneath that striking finish lies the same Razr 70 we already know. The phone features a 3,6-inch external display that lets you check notifications, reply to messages, or even run full apps without opening the phone. When unfolded, it reveals a 6,9-inch Extreme AMOLED display that provides the main user experience.
In terms of photography, the Razr 70 features a dual 50-megapixel main camera system. For the ultra-wide-angle sensor, which also has 50 megapixels, Motorola uses pixel binning (combining four pixels into one), resulting in photos with an effective resolution of 12,5 megapixels. The company also highlights the presence of advanced artificial intelligence features, although it doesn't specify whether this edition includes any exclusive features compared to other models in the family.
The battery is another strong point: it has a typical capacity of 4.800 mAh (4.610 mAh nominal) and Motorola claims it can exceed 36 hours of battery life on a single charge, according to internal tests with mixed use and optimal network conditions. However, the actual results will depend on factors such as network coverage, device settings, temperature, and individual usage patterns.
The device comes with a transparent protective case designed not to obscure its exterior design. This is an almost essential accessory, given that the phone's main distinguishing features are its crystals and quilted texture. However, the inclusion of this case may vary depending on the market or region, so it's advisable to confirm this at the point of sale.
FOLDING AS A DIFFERENTIATING ELEMENT
Motorola has championed the clamshell design since the days of the legendary RAZR V3 in 2004. While that model had nothing to do with flexible screens, its silhouette and folding mechanism are a nod to that heritage. And it's precisely this form factor that allows the brand to create special editions that are far more eye-catching than a simple color change on a conventional smartphone.
In a traditional mobile phone, variations are usually limited to the back or the colors. In a foldable phone, the hinge, the external screen, and the very act of opening and closing become physical elements to work with. Here, the 32-facet glass in the hinge transforms a functional component into the visual focal point, taking advantage of the phone's characteristic movement.
The collaboration between the three brands is key to this offering: Motorola provides the device and the foldable experience; Pantone, the PANTONE Meteorite color reference; and Swarovski, the crystals and that artisanal touch of hand-setting. This formula allows for the creation of a differentiated product without altering the basic technological concept, something Motorola intends to use to segment its razr family and offer versions with greater aesthetic appeal.
The €999 price tag places the Razr 70 with Swarovski firmly in the premium segment. It's not a product aimed at high-volume sales, but rather at those seeking a phone that also functions as a fashion accessory. Without official sales figures, it's difficult to know to what extent the exclusivity justifies the price, but what is clear is Motorola's commitment to design as a key selling point.
With this edition, Lenovo's subsidiary continues to explore collaborations with luxury brands, a strategy it began with the first Brilliant Collection and is now reinforcing with a second installment. The question is whether the foldable format will establish itself as a suitable platform for this type of product, or if, on the contrary, it will remain a luxury for a select few. What is clear is that, for now, Motorola has found a different way to compete beyond technical specifications.
In short, the Razr 70 with Crystals by Swarovski arrives in Spain with an attractive combination: a high-performance foldable phone that also transforms into a piece of jewelry. The collaboration with Pantone and Swarovski, the meticulous aesthetics, the crystal-encrusted hinge, and the comprehensive technological platform make this phone a unique offering on the market, although its price and limited edition status restrict it to a very specific audience.
