What’s happened? Motorola has launched a teaser campaign for its next flagship phone, widely expected to be the ultra-thin Edge 70. The reveal is set for November 5, with fresh details rolling out weekly ahead of launch.
- The promo site is live in participating European countries, including the UK, Italy, and Germany.
- In China, it’s expected to arrive as the X70 Air, a typical regional naming split for the brand.
- It joins the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and the iPhone Air in the ultra-thin category.
- So far, we know that it sports a 4,800mAh silicon-carbon battery and 68W charging. Noteworthy for a device reportedly under 6mm.
This is important because: Ultra-thin phones look like 2025’s design battleground. Motorola is trying to prove you can go thin and still keep real endurance. If it pulls that off, the Edge 70 becomes a convincing entry in this space.
- A slimmer profile with daylong stamina would flip the usual thin-phone trade-offs.
- Early European positioning hints at value against pricier rivals while keeping flagship-level hardware.
- The 4,800mAh battery will be considerably larger than the one in the iPhone Air (3,149mAh) and Galaxy S25 Edge (3,900mAh).
Why should I care? Flagships already feel fast and camera-savvy. The next question is how thin a phone can get without hurting daily driver performance, and Motorola clearly wants to set that tone.
- It’s aimed at buyers who want something sleek that still lasts and recharges quickly.
- If a sub-6mm device comfortably makes it through a day, thinness becomes a genuine upgrade reason.
- The Pantone Bronze Green finish gives it a look that stands out in stores and on social.
Okay, so what’s next? Expect weekly drops as the November 5 countdown continues. The big unknowns now are the exact thickness, where it ships first, the cameras and power Moto is able to pack inside, and whether the battery story holds up in the real world.
- Italian retailer listings show €709 to €801.91 (roughly $800-$900) for 12GB/512GB in Pantone Bronze Green.
- It’s currently unclear whether the handset will be available in the US, with no teaser page on Motorola’s United States website.
- We’re still waiting on chipset details, the full camera stack (beyond a leaked 50MP main with OIS), IP rating, and wireless charging.
- Initial impressions on the leaks lean towards skepticism on design language, but the pivot to the thin category breathes new life to the lineup.
