| The Motorola Edge 70 in bronze green colorway |
December 15 is the date to mark on your calendars, India. Motorola has officially pulled back the curtain on the launch of its next-generation mid-range smartphone, the Motorola Edge 70. Set to debut next week, the device promises to blend flagship-level features with an aggressively sleek design, aiming to shake up a highly competitive segment.
The confirmation came directly from Motorola, with key specs and stunning color options already being teased on Flipkart's dedicated Motorola Edge 70 microsite. While the final pricing remains under wraps, the company has confirmed availability across Motorola's official website, Flipkart, and other authorized retail partners starting launch day.
A Claim to the "Slimmest" Crown
One of the most striking revelations is the Edge 70's profile. Motorola boasts a jaw-dropping thickness of just 5.99 mm, potentially making it one of the slimmest smartphones in the market. This ultra-sleek design sets it on a direct collision course with premium models like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge (currently retailing at approximately $849.98 on Amazon) and other slim-focused devices like the Tecno Pova Slim.
Power and Performance: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 at the Helm
Underneath that slim chassis lies serious hardware. The Edge 70 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, promising a significant boost in efficiency and performance for gaming and multitasking. On the software front, it will ship with Motorola's Hello UI based on the latest Android 16. More importantly, Motorola is committing to a strong update policy, promising three major OS upgrades (up to Android 19) and four years of security patches, with support stretching into 2031.

Camera, Battery, and Durability: No Compromises Here
Despite its slim figure, Motorola isn't cutting corners on essentials. The camera system is a triple-50MP affair, featuring dual 50MP rear sensors and a 50MP front-facing camera for high-resolution selfies and video calls.
The battery is a substantial 5,000 mAh silicon-carbon unit, which supports 68W wired turbo charging and 15W wireless charging. This combination should ensure the phone stays powered through a full day and beyond, with minimal downtime for top-ups.
Duraability is another highlight. The Edge 70 comes built to last with an IP68 & IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, military-grade MIL-STD-810H certification for ruggedness, and protection from accidental drops and scratches courtesy of Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
Style Meets Substance: Pantone-Curated Colors
Motorola is also focusing on aesthetics with the help of color experts. The Edge 70 will be available in three sophisticated, Pantone-curated color options: Bronze Green, Gadget Gray, and Lily Pad, offering styles to suit different personalities.
With its blend of a record-slim design, powerful Snapdragon chipset, long-term software support, and robust camera-battery combo, the Motorola Edge 70 is shaping up to be a formidable player. All eyes are now on the December 15 launch for the final piece of the puzzle: its price.
