Slim Design Without Sacrifices
What sets the Edge 70 apart? It packs a substantial 4,800mAh silicon-carbon battery into its razor-thin chassis—addressing the biggest complaint about ultra-slim phones. While competitors sacrifice battery capacity for thinness, Motorola promises up to 50 hours of usage with fast 68W wired and 15W wireless charging.
The device features aircraft-grade aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and nylon-textured back for superior grip. Available in three Pantone-validated colors—Lily Pad, Gadget Grey, and Bronze Green—it’s both beautiful and functional.
Military-Grade Toughness
Despite its delicate appearance, the Edge 70 meets MIL-STD 810H military durability standards and boasts IP68/IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance. You can use it poolside or in heavy rain without worry, thanks to Water Touch technology that maintains responsiveness even when wet.
Photography Powerhouse
The triple 50MP camera system includes a main sensor with OIS, 120-degree ultrawide lens supporting macro photography, and a 50MP selfie camera capable of 4K video recording. Moto AI enhancements add features like Action Shot, Night Vision, Dual Capture, and Adobe Scan integration for professional-grade results.
Premium Display Experience
The 6.67-inch Super HD pOLED display delivers stunning 4,500 nits peak brightness with HDR10+ support, 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, and Pantone SkinTone validation. With 120Hz refresh rate and up to 300Hz touch sampling, scrolling and gaming feel incredibly smooth.
Why It Matters
Priced significantly below Galaxy S25 Edge (€1,249) and iPhone Air (€1,199), the Edge 70 makes ultra-slim design accessible without compromising performance or durability. Running Android 16 with guaranteed security updates until 2031, it’s future-proofed for years ahead.
