Motorola is shaking up the slim-phone market with the Edge 70, a phone that proves thin doesn’t mean weak. First launched in China as the Moto X70 Air, it’s set for a global release on November 5, 2025.
The phone is just 6mm thick, yet it lasts all day on a single charge. With a stylish design, durable build, and a battery that easily beats most premium flagships, Motorola seems ready to redefine what a mid-range smartphone can do.
Key Takeaways
- Global launch on November 5, 2025, after successful sales in China.
- 6mm thickness with a 4,800mAh battery using new silicon-carbon tech.
- 68W fast charging and 15W wireless charging support.
- Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB storage.
- Price expected around ₹25,000 in India, much lower than Apple or Samsung rivals.
Why The Edge 70 Stands Out
The 2025 smartphone trend has been all about slim bodies and premium looks. Apple’s iPhone Air and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge started it, but both struggle with smaller batteries under 4,000mAh.
Motorola listened and responded with a design that keeps power and practicality intact.
- Battery That Breaks Limits: The 4,800mAh silicon-carbon battery offers a full day of use for gaming, streaming, and social media without constant recharging. One user on X wrote, “4800mAh in 6mm? Motorola just raised the bar,” gaining over 400 likes.
- Fast And Convenient Charging: The 68W wired charging fills the battery in under an hour, while 15W wireless charging adds flexibility on the go.
- Slim But Strong: Despite its lightweight 170g body, it features IP68 and IP69 ratings, Gorilla Glass 7i, and a metal frame, making it resistant to dust, water, and accidental drops.
Motorola made sure this isn’t a fragile phone. It feels solid yet sleek ideal for users who want style with substance.
Specifications That Deliver More
Don’t be fooled by the mid-range tag. The Edge 70 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, offering smooth multitasking and gaming. The 3D vapor cooling system prevents overheating even under heavy use.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.67-inch P-OLED, 1.5K (1220×2712), 120Hz refresh, 4,500 nits brightness |
| Processor | Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 |

The flat 120Hz display gives a clear edge for everyday use no accidental touches or glare from curved sides. The 50MP triple camera setup delivers sharp, vibrant photos, perfect for social media creators.
At a global price between €690–€800, the Edge 70 is expected to cost under ₹25,000 in India, making it one of the best value options in the slim-phone category.
Colors And Public Buzz
Motorola partnered with Pantone again for fresh color options: Bronze Green, Gadget Gray, and Lily Pad, a teal-orange mix that stands out. The finish looks premium with its vegan leather texture, which helps with grip and adds to the style.
Public reactions have been very positive. About 85% of social posts about the Edge 70 are favorable, with users praising its balance between thin design and strong battery life.
There are a few concerns about software updates, but the excitement around its design and pricing easily overshadows them.
What This Means For Smartphone Users
The Motorola Edge 70 fills the gap between bulky flagships and weak slim phones. It’s expected to roll out in India and Europe by December 2025, with Motorola teasing more models like the Edge 60 Neo soon.
In short, Motorola has found the sweet spot premium looks, strong battery, and fair pricing. It’s a signal that thin phones don’t need to compromise anymore.
