Motorola’s next mid-range contender, the Edge 70, is shaping up to be one of the slimmest phones of the year. With its global launch set for November 5, a new batch of press renders and an EU energy label listing have spilled most of the remaining details — from its dimensions to battery life and durability scores.
According to new leaks shared by NieuweMobiel, the Edge 70 will come in two Pantone-certified finishes — Bronze Green and Lily Pad — and measure just 5.99mm thick while weighing a mere 159g. That makes it one of the thinnest mainstream smartphones on the market, matching the Chinese Moto X70 Air, which it’s reportedly based on. For context, Apple’s iPhone Air and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge weigh 165g and 163g, respectively — yet this Motorola manages to pack in a much larger battery than both flagships.
The secret? A high-density silicon-carbon battery that Apple and Samsung have yet to adopt.
The design sticks to a flat-edged frame with a punch-hole selfie camera and a triple rear setup, led by a 50MP main sensor, joined by a 50MP ultrawide and what appears to be a macro camera. Under the hood, expect the same specs as the X70 Air: a 6.7-inch 120Hz OLED display powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 — a solid combo for Motorola’s mostly clean UI.
Thanks to the X70 Air, the battery capacity is already known to be 4,800 mAh, up from the 3149 mAh battery in the iPhone Air and the 3900 mAh in the S25 Edge. An EU Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL) certification now confirms a certified endurance rating for the global model – 49 hours 34 minutes. Motorola also claims the battery can handle 1,000 charge cycles while retaining at least 80% capacity.
In summary, the Edge 70 isn’t just about being slim — it seems practical for anyone seeking a mid-range that looks and feels good in hand.
