Motorola might be getting ready to add a stylus support to its upcoming flagship — something only Samsung has bothered with lately. If true and implemented well, it would position the Edge 70 Ultra as a rare productivity-focused flagship and, of course, a competitor to Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Android Headlines claims the Edge 70 Ultra will directly take on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra by adding native stylus features. The site says Motorola plans to pull in the stylus experience from its Moto G Stylus series and adapt it for its next flagship, which is expected to ship with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. This is slightly less capable than the 8 Elite Gen 5 that the S26 Ultra is confirmed to use.
What remains unclear is how Motorola plans to implement the feature. Both Samsung’s S Ultra phones and Motorola’s own Moto G Stylus models use a built-in pen silo, so the Edge 70 Ultra could follow the same approach. But that’s just educated guesswork for now. It’s also possible that Motorola goes with a separate, more capable stylus that’s sold on its own.
Motorola launched the 6mm thick base Edge 70 towards the end of October, and as you can expect, that phone does not support a stylus. Still, leaks around the higher-end Ultra model are picking up fast. A Geekbench listing that surfaced last month already pointed to Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.
The Edge 70 Ultra is expected to land in early 2026, likely not long after Samsung introduces the Galaxy S26 Ultra in February. If the stylus rumor pans out, Motorola could end up offering the only real pen-friendly alternative to Samsung’s Ultra lineup next year.
