A few days ago, Motorola‘s own beta forum let it slip that an Edge 70 Neo was coming. Now that leak has some visual backup. Mac Observer has published a set of renders showing what the phone looks like.

You get four color options: pink, dark green, light green, and light blue. Each one has a matte finish on the frame. The pink model has a different pattern on the back compared to the other three. Across all four colors, the display curves at the edges, something Motorola has used across the rest of the Edge 70 lineup.

On the back, there’s a triple-camera system, with one sensor marked at 200 megapixels. How it performs is still unknown until Motorola shares more details.

This follows an earlier leak we covered, when a Lenovo forum user identified as a Senior Moto Agent named Kevin posted a call for testers to join the Android 17 beta program for the device. That post confirmed a phone Motorola hadn’t announced yet, since Motorola had not listed the Edge 70 Neo publicly before then.

The Edge 70 Neo would join a lineup that already includes the Edge 70, Edge 70 Fusion, Edge 70 Pro, Edge 70 Pro+, and Edge 70 Max. Neo models in this series have usually been the smaller option. The Edge 60 Neo has a 6.36-inch display, and the Edge 50 Neo before it came with a 6.4-inch screen. If Motorola follows the same pattern, the Edge 70 Neo could land in a similar size range.

Motorola hasn’t given a launch date. Since the beta program is already open and specifically tied to this device, a release could come within the next few weeks. The beta sign-up page pointed to India, so that market may see the phone first, though Motorola hasn’t confirmed a release region.

When Motorola unveiled the Edge 70 Max in India last month, it appeared to be the last device in the series, as the lineup already includes multiple models, such as the Edge 70, Edge 70 Fusion, Edge 70 Pro, and Edge 70 Pro+. A new development suggests that the company is not done with the lineup yet, as it could be working on a Neo-branded phone.

Motorola Edge 70 Neo spotted for the first time

The above screengrab from the Lenovo forum site reveals that Motorola has opened registrations for the Android 17 beta program in India, and the listing specifically mentions the unannounced Motorola Edge 70 Neo, confirming the device’s existence for the first time. While Motorola has not officially announced the smartphone yet, its appearance on the company’s official beta testing forum suggests that its launch could be close.

Given that the device is already associated with Android 17 beta testing, there’s a good chance the Edge 70 Neo could debut with Android 17 out of the box, although Motorola has not confirmed this yet. It remains to be seen whether the device goes official later this month or in September.

India also appears to be one of the first markets to receive the Motorola Edge 70 Neo, as the company is specifically recruiting users in the country for its Android 17 beta program. At present, no information is available about the device’s specifications.

Previously released Neo models, such as the Edge 60 Neo and Edge 50 Neo, have featured compact designs. While the Edge 60 Neo has a 6.36-inch display, the Edge 50 Neo sports a 6.4-inch screen. Therefore, the Edge 70 Neo could also arrive with a similarly sized display.
