Introduction<\/p>\n

Motorola has joined the race for the thinnest and lightest smartphone with the newly launched Edge 70. It is the global version of the China-locked Moto X70 Air, and making it the headliner of the next-gen Edge series is a brilliant move.<\/p>\n

Motorola’s Edge series has been experimenting for quite some time with all sorts of phone types – compact and lightweight, thin and powerful, camera-centric, and artsy, even with wooden back panels. The Edge 70 appears to be a natural continuation of what Motorola has been doing in the past few years, as opposed to the shot in the dark by Samsung and Apple.<\/p>\n

The Motorola Edge 70 highlight features are its 6mm thin profile, 159g of weight, and the impressively large for these measurements 4,800mAh battery.<\/p>\n

The Edge 70 packs a 6.7-inch OLED with 1220p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. The chipset of choice here is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 coupled with 12GB RAM by default.<\/p>\n

The camera department includes a 50MP OIS primary for wide and 2x zoomed photos, a 50MP AF ultrawide camera for panoramic and macro shots, and a 50MP selfie imager. All cameras support a minimum of 4K30 capturing.<\/p>\n

Motorola has also fitted a relatively large battery – a 4,800mAh cell with support for 68W wired and 15W wireless charging.<\/p>\n

Durability has not suffered by making the phone thinner – the Edge 70 is both IP68 and IP69 rated, as well as compliant to a number of MIL-SDT-810H standards.<\/p>\n

Motorola has also bundled a transparent MagSafe-ready case, which is nice. It’s used for both wireless charging and attaching any third-party MagSafe accessories on the back of the phone.<\/p>\n
