What you need to know
- Motorola’s Razr Ultra 2026 is rumored to bring back a familiar wood finish this year; however, its coloring is slightly darker with a “Pantone Cocoa Wood” moniker.
- The foldable is also rumored to feature a new blueish-purple hue, which could debut under the “Orient Blue Alcantara” name.
Rumors about what Motorola’s next Razr line could offer keep surfacing, and this time’s no different, as the leaks talk about additional finishes.
Earlier today (Apr 8), tipster OnLeaks, alongside Android Headlines, revealed what Motorola could be planning for the Razr Ultra 2026, and one finish is familiar. Immediately, what’s proposed is that Motorola could return (again) to the wood-grain finish the company brought for the 2025 Razr Ultra. The alleged rendering shows off this wood finish, which appears slightly darker than what we saw last year.
Initially, it could be seen as just a rendering effect where the wood finish looks darker. But the leaker suggests Motorola could brand this as “Pantone Cocoa Wood.” If so, that would justify why it looks a few shades darker than the old Ultra’s wood-grain. We’re still able to see the running wooden lines flowing vertically across its back panel, giving us vibes we’re used to seeing.

OnLeaks’ discoveries continue, adding that Motorola could debut a new “Orient Blue Alcantara” colorway for the 2026 Ultra. The render shows grooves across the back panel, creating tiny diamond shapes across its entirety. This colorway feels closer to a blueish-purple hue. Once again, rumors claim Motorola could debut the Razr Ultra 2026 and the rest sometime in April.
Moto wood do it again, too

We’re well over a decade since Motorola first introduced the Moto X and its wild wood finish. There were rumors about the company bringing it for the Razr Ultra 2025, and it actually happened. The company called it “Mountain Trail,” which makes sense. Polished wood bits, as my colleague Namerah Saud Fatmi said in her overall look at the 2025 Razr finishes. It’s these finishes that tend to set Motorola apart from the standard glass backs we’re always getting.
Recent rumors say that it might continue, as the Razr 2026 is allegedly preparing “fabric” and “carbon-fiber” textures, as well as a mysterious third option. Additionally, it seems the Razr 2026 is expected to debut in Hematite, Bright White, Sporting Green, and Violet Ice colorways. The Razr Ultra, much like the base model, isn’t speculated to receive any major design changes. So, that means we’ll likely see its 4-inch cover display and 7-inch inner screen once again, with a horizontal dual camera array on the front.
Android Central’s Take
Imagine walking around with a wooden phone. Obviously, it’s not entirely wood, but the finish is certainly different. We’re always used to a smooth, if not slippery, glass back. What Motorola did last year, and what it’s rumored to do again in 2026, is offer something different for people who might be tired of the same old stuff. Since we’re seeing a “Pantone Cocoa Wood” finish rumored, what would a darker, almost wine-red wood phone look like?
