Motorola’s Edge 70 Pro has now made its global debut after launching in India last week. The hardware is impressive, though the first thing most people will probably notice is the way it looks.

The phone has a slim quad-curved body, textured finishes, and Pantone-curated colors that give it a polished look. Motorola has also paired that styling with a very bright 5200 nits 6.8-inch AMOLED screen, which should make the phone easy to use outdoors.

What makes the Edge 70 Pro look different?

The design is the main talking point, with Motorola offering four distinct looks for the Edge 70 Pro. There is a natural wood finish in Pantone Chicory Coffee with Cocoa Cream accents, a wool-inspired Pantone Titan finish with Orient Blue accents, an acetate Pantone Lily White version with Whisper Pink, and a silk-inspired Pantone Zinfandel model with Sangria accents. Each version has its own distinct texture as well.

What else does it have to offer?

Other than the design and finish, the Edge 70 Pro somehow manages to fit a large 6500mAh battery into its slim profile. It has 90W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, Android 16 with 5 years of software support and a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme processor. The 6.8-inch AMOLED has a refresh rate of 144Hz and comes with Pantone Validated color calibration.

For optics, the phone uses a 50MP Sony LYTIA 710 as its main sensor, paired with a periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom, an ultrawide camera, and a 50MP selfie camera.

In the UK, the Edge 70 Pro costs £749.99, while in Europe, it is priced at €799. France gets a higher €899 price tag, which makes the phone quite expensive for a mid-range device. The phone will also reach the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific in the coming weeks. This release comes after Motorola refreshed its foldable lineup, including a new book-style Razr Fold.

If you plan to pre-order the iPhone Duo, you should set aside extra cash for accidents. Apple has published estimated iPhone Duo repair costs for owners without AppleCare+, and a few will make your wallet wince. Things get especially scary under the “other damage” category, where a fix in the US can run as high as $1,499.

Not every repair will break the bank

Google's New Android Scam Protection Feature

Scammers are getting smarter and more tech-savvy with each passing day, abusing phone features that can be used against you. So Google is rolling out a new Android security update, which aims to make some of those workarounds harder to pull off.

Android is getting several new scam protections spanning Google Messages, screen sharing, notifications, and call forwarding. One of the handy security upgrades is with screen sharing. Android can now automatically black out login fields and payment screens so sensitive information doesn't appear in the live feed when you stream the contents of your display through Chrome or an Android Web. The feature starts rolling out this month on devices running Android 15 or newer.
