Motorola just launched a slim mid-ranger with a seriously chunky battery

Edge 70 Pro all sleek curves and zero battery anxiety

Motorola has just unveiled a new mid-range phone, and it’s pretty impressive. The Edge 70 Pro is a slim, premium-looking mid-range phone that somehow still finds room for a massive 6,500mAh battery. In a segment where thin phones usually come with battery compromises, the Edge 70 Pro avoids making you choose between slimness and endurance.

What’s so special about this phone?

Just like the Motorola Edge 70, the big highlight is the slim design that doesn’t sacrifice any practical specs in exchange. The Edge 70 Pro measures just 6.99mm and houses a gigantic 6,500mAh cell without turning into a brick. Motorola is also leaning into design finishes in the way it usually does best. The phone comes in Pantone Lily White with a marble-style finish, Pantone Tea with a satin luxe look, and Pantone Titan with a fabric-inspired texture.

Motorola’s latest mid-ranger sports a tall 6.8-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 5,200 nits of peak brightness. The MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme chip powers this device, alongside five years of security updates. This is a pretty respectable package already, but Motorola has also added 90W fast charging, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, IP68 and IP69 protection, and MIL-STD-810H durability.

Some nights don’t end quietly 🌃
They change everything.

For photography, the rear has a 50MP Sony LYT710 main camera with a 50MP ultra-wide lens, a multispectral sensor, and a 50MP selfie camera with autofocus. In the Indian market, the Edge 70 Pro starts for around $420.

Is it getting a global release?

For now, the Edge 70 Pro has only been officially launched in India. But Motorola is expected to bring this phone to Europe as well, which would line up with Motorola’s usual rollout pattern for the Edge series. But since Motorola has not formally announced that wider launch in the referenced reports, it is still better framed as likely rather than confirmed. Just yesterday, the leaked renders of the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ surfaced online, which might be a higher-end variant that could be unveiled alongside the Edge 70 Pro in Europe.

I tried a hidden video trick in iOS 27, and it saved me a ton of frustration

Better quality, smaller file size, and no status bar. iOS 27's video frame feature beats screenshots on every count.

If you've ever been on vacation and chose to record video instead of taking photos only to avoid missing the fun moments, thinking you’d pause and take screenshots later, you might have ended up questioning your decision later.

You see, the process involves multiple steps, starting from hunting for the right frame, pausing, and taking a screenshot. If it doesn’t look good, you go back to the video, pause somewhere else, and try taking another screenshot. You see where I’m going with this?
