The company just launched the Edge 70 in India, and at 5.99mm thin and 159 grams, it\u2019s one of the lightest and slimmest phones you can buy right now. <\/p>\n<p>What makes the Edge 70 interesting isn\u2019t just how thin it is, but what Motorola managed to fit inside that profile. Ultra-slim phones usually get there by shrinking the battery, often dramatically. Motorola went the opposite direction, squeezing a 5,000mAh silicon-carbon battery into a body that\u2019s thinner than many phones with far smaller cells. <\/p>\n<p>To put that into perspective, Apple\u2019s slim-focused iPhones tend to hover around the low-3,000mAh range, while Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S25 Edge tops out at 3,900mAh. By comparison, Motorola\u2019s numbers stand out as more than just a design flex.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1000430033-1.webp.webp\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"Motorola Edge 70 variant\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\"  \/>Image Credit: Motorola<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the hardware largely supports that first impression. The Edge 70 runs on Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, paired with 8GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. That setup won\u2019t chase flagship benchmarks, but it should feel comfortably fast for everyday use, multitasking, and sustained performance without thermal drama.<\/p>\n<p>Up front, there\u2019s a 6.7-inch pOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Motorola is also pushing brightness hard here, with a peak of 4,500 nits, which should make a real difference outdoors under harsh sunlight. The panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, and the phone carries IP68 and IP69 ratings alongside MIL-STD-810H certification. In practical terms, that means it\u2019s built to survive dust, water immersion, high-pressure sprays, and the kind of drops that happen when slim phones slip out of hands.<\/p>\n<p>The camera setup is straightforward rather than ambitious. You get a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization, a 50MP ultra-wide that doubles as a macro camera, and a 50MP front camera. The Indian variant supports 4K video recording at 60fps across all three cameras, which isn\u2019t always guaranteed at this price point. The trade-off is the absence of a telephoto lens, something the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/motorola-edge-60-fusion-vs-motorola-edge-50-fusion-what-are-the-differences\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Edge 60<\/a> offered. If zoom photography matters to you, that omission will be noticeable.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1000430034.webp.webp\" class=\"kg-image\" alt=\"Moto AI feature on Motorola edge 70\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\"  \/>Image Credit: Motorola<\/p>\n<p>Pricing places the Edge 70 firmly in premium mid-range territory. Motorola has set it at \u20b929,999, with a launch discount bringing it down to \u20b928,999. Sales begin on December 23 through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/tag\/flipkart\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Flipkart<\/a>, Motorola\u2019s own store, and offline retailers. At this level, it lines up against devices like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/tag\/nothing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nothing Phone 3a<\/a> and Samsung\u2019s upper Galaxy A-series, a segment that\u2019s become increasingly competitive. Slim alternatives are still rare, though, which gives Motorola some room to stand apart.<\/p>\n<p>Battery life and charging help reinforce that positioning. The phone supports 68W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging, features that are still inconsistent in this price bracket. Software support is another quiet strength. Motorola is promising three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/tag\/android\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android<\/a> OS upgrades and four years of security updates, which should keep the Edge 70 relevant well into the latter half of the decade.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the box, it runs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/tag\/android-16\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android 16<\/a> and includes Motorola\u2019s Moto AI 2.0 features, such as contextual suggestions and AI-powered image tools. There\u2019s also a dedicated AI key and integrations with services like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/tag\/perplexity-ai\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Perplexity<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/tag\/microsoft-copilot\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft Copilot<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/tag\/google-gemini\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Gemini<\/a>. None of this feels radically different from what other brands are doing, but Motorola is clearly making sure it doesn\u2019t fall behind on the AI front.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"kg-bookmark-container\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/motorola-g67-power-5g-debuts-in-india-with-7-000mah-battery\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>Motorola G67 Power 5G Debuts in India With 7,000mAh Battery<\/p>\n<p>A release like this blurs the line between mid-range and flagship in a way that\u2019s getting hard to ignore.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/moto_g67_power_5g_launch_today_main_1762251419292.jpg\" alt=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display = 'none'\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The broader question is what this phone represents. The ultra-slim trend is picking up steam in India, with manufacturers testing whether buyers are willing to prioritize design again after years of bigger batteries and heavier builds. Motorola\u2019s bet with the Edge 70 is that you don\u2019t have to choose. You can have a phone that feels light and refined without giving up durability or all-day battery life.<\/p>\n<p>Whether that trade-off works for you comes down to priorities. If you rely heavily on zoom photography, the missing telephoto may be a deal-breaker. But if what you want is a phone that feels genuinely comfortable to carry, looks understatedly premium, and still checks the practical boxes, the Edge 70 is one of the more thoughtful entries in this crowded segment.<\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gh-avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/avatarDefault.jpg\" alt=\"Damilare Odedina profile image\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n                    Updated&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n                    &#13;<br \/>\n                        December 16, 2025&#13;<br \/>\n                    &#13;\n                <\/p>\n<p>                    <a class=\"gh-post-page__share-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/motorola-edge-70-rolls-out-in-india-with-an-ultra-slim-design-and-a-surprisingly-large-battery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Share on facebook\">&#13;<br \/>\n                        &#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<br \/>\n        &#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<br \/>\n                    <\/a><br \/>\n                    <a class=\"gh-post-page__share-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/motorola-edge-70-rolls-out-in-india-with-an-ultra-slim-design-and-a-surprisingly-large-battery\/&amp;text=Motorola%20Edge%2070%20rolls%20out%20in%20India%20with%20an%20ultra-slim%20design%20and%20a%20surprisingly%20large%20battery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Share on twitter\">&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                    <\/a><br \/>\n                    <a class=\"gh-post-page__share-link\" href=\"https:\/\/reddit.com\/submit?url=https:\/\/www.techloy.com\/motorola-edge-70-rolls-out-in-india-with-an-ultra-slim-design-and-a-surprisingly-large-battery\/&amp;media=&amp;description=Motorola%20Edge%2070%20rolls%20out%20in%20India%20with%20an%20ultra-slim%20design%20and%20a%20surprisingly%20large%20battery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-pin-do=\"none\" aria-label=\"Share on reddit\">&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                    <\/a><br \/>\n                    &#13;<\/p>\n<p>                        Link copied!&#13;<br \/>\n                        Copy failed!&#13;<\/p>\n<p>            <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You know that feeling when you slide your phone into your pocket and it feels like you\u2019re carrying&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235565,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[257],"tags":[18,19,17,279,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-235564","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-mobile","12":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115728826331304699","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
