Motorola has announced a fresh lineup of smartphones for Aussies, though the brand’s first foray into big-screen foldables - the new Razr Fold - remains MIA.
The first cab off the rank here is the new Moto G67. A budget phone with a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with 10-bit color and a 120Hz refresh rate, this device comes powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 6300 processor, 4GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and a 5200mAh battery.
Camera-wise, the Moto G67 is armed with a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultrawide sensor. Meanwhile, the front of the device features a 32MP selfie camera. Otherwise, it’s got a built-in fingerprint sensor, expandable storage, IP64 water resistance, and 30W charging.
Although these specs aren’t going to add up to something that can challenge the iPhone, they do come to a thrifty total of $499 when it comes to the recommended retail price. Out of the box, the Moto G67 comes with 2 years of operating system and 4 years of security updates.
The Motorola Edge 70 Fusion comes in at a slightly higher price-point, but ups the ante when it comes to both design and performance. This device is built around a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with a higher 144Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion comes powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and a 7000mAh silicon carbon battery.
Then, on the back, the mid-range is armed with a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultrawide one.
Other bells and whistles here include dual Dolby Atmos speakers, a 32MP selfie camera, 65W fast-charging and either a nylon or linen-inspired finish, depending on which colour you choose. Unlike the Moto G67, there’s no expandable storage.
In Australia, the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion starts at $699. The device comes with three years of OS updates and five years of security updates.
For another $200, you can snag the Motorola Edge 70 instead. This entry in the ensemble is billed as an ultra-thin option for those who want to prioritise a slimmer form factor.
The Motorola Edge 70 has a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm 7 Gen 4 processor, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and a 4200mAh battery. In terms of memory, you’re looking at 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. However, like the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion, the latter isn’t expandable.
That being said, there are a few areas where the Motorola Edge 70 has an advantage over its sibling. For instance, it comes with IP68/IP69 water resistance, an in-display fingerprint sensor, plus faster 68W fast-charging via USB-C and 15W wireless charging.
The Motorola Edge 70 also has the advantage when it comes to camera performance, with a 50MP main sensor and a second 50MP ultrawide lens on the back. Rounding things out, there’s a third 50MP selfie shooter on the front.
In Australia, the Motorola Edge 70 starts at $899 for the Lily Pad and Bronze Green variants. A more-expensive Cloud Dancer variant with crystals by Swarovski is available for $1,099. Regardless of colour, those who pick up the device can look forward to 4 years of operating system and 5 years of security updates.
Finally, there’s the new Motorola Signature. This is billed as the manufacturer’s latest play for premium phone buyers. It features a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with a 165Hz refresh rate, a glitzier design with IP68/IP69 water resistance, 5200mAh and top-of-the-line performance.
When it comes to the inside of the Motorola Signature, there’s a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of on-board storage. Then, on the back of the handset, you’re looking at a 50MP main lens, a 50MP ultrawide lens and a 50MP telephoto lens. Naturally, you’ll find a fourth 50MP selfie shooter on the front, rounding things out.
The Motorola Signature also raises the bar for the brand when it comes to charging, with support for 50W wireless charging and 90W wired charging when paired with selected accessories.
In Australia, the Motorola Signature starts at $1,499 for the 256GB model and $1,699 for the 512GB model. Those who spring for the premium device can look forward to 7 years of OS updates and security updates.
What’s more, the device is also slated to be available through all three major carriers – Vodafone, Telstra and Optus – once it launches locally.
All four of the above devices are slated to go on-sale in Australia from 16 April 2026, with pre-orders open from this week via JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman.
