TL;DR Motorola has announced the Edge 2026 in the US.
Unlike previous devices, the Edge 2026 goes for a small footprint, featuring a 6.3-inch display.
Along with the new Edge, Motorola has also announced Moto Buds 2 with a Pantone Carbon finish.
Over the years, we’ve seen phone brands chase slim designs with tall displays, and Motorola’s Edge series hasn’t been much different. Launches in the Edge series over the years have also featured screens up to 6.8 inches. The newest launch in the series changes that, making a design choice that seems unconventional in 2026.
Motorola has just announced the Edge 2026 in the US with subtle upgrades over the Edge 2025. While it shares a shape strikingly similar to that of the recent Motorola Edge phones, there is a fundamental distinction. Motorola is now going for a smaller form factor that resembles the Galaxy S26 more than the taller Galaxy S26 Plus. The Edge 2026’s smaller body accompanies a smaller 6.3-inch screen, and helps cut the weight down to just 160 grams.

Along with that, Motorola adds a new, classy Pantone Martini Olive color, complementing the range of Pantone-approved finishes on the Motorola Edge 70 Pro. The back surface features a pattern inspired by twill, which Motorola says adds a “timeless sophistication.” The phone’s body offers high durability, with IP68 and IP69 ratings and MIL-STD-810H certification attesting to its sturdiness. These have been carried over from the previous generation, along with the Gorilla Glass 7i on the display.
