Today, as part of IFA 2026<\/a>, Motorola dropped the Edge 70 Plus, a new Android smartphone that prioritizes an improved camera system over its predecessors. The Edge 70 Plus\u2019 main camera has 200 megapixels this time around, and it comes with a 10x Super Zoom, 4K video, and optical image stabilization. Motorola worked with Pantone on the phone\u2019s colors again this year, so we have genuinely nice color options here: Mountain View, Gray Lilac, Milky Blue, and Sage. They\u2019re all pretty.<\/p>\n

The Edge 70 Plus has some pretty great specs, too, including a quad-curved 6.78-inch 144Hz Extreme AMOLED display that reportedly hits 5,200 nits at peak brightness. It\u2019s got a 6,500mAh battery (42 hours of talk time, 32 hours of video, or 23 hours of social scrolling), 45W charging, and Gorilla Glass 7i. It comes packed with Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor. There\u2019s 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and storage comes in either 128GB or 256GB. It also has two large stereo speakers and a Hi-Res-certified sound system, with Dolby Atmos support for immersive sound.<\/p>\n

Google Gemini will run on the phone natively, with flagship Gemini features like Gemini Live and Circle to Search ready to go.<\/p>\n

The Edge 70 Plus\u2019 200-megapixel camera is notable for Motorola\u2019s existing lineup, but the new phone is dropping in a market already saturated with similar cameras. (The Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> has a 200-megapixel camera, for example.) And as we know quite well now, raw pixel count isn\u2019t everything: the processing power and sensor size on phones like the iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/a> and the Pixel 11 Pro<\/a> often end up producing higher-quality photos, and those both capture far fewer pixels.<\/p>\n

Pricing and availability for the Edge 70 Plus have yet to be announced. It\u2019s difficult to say without trying the phone how it will stack up to other Android smartphones\u2014and there are so many on the market now\u2014but hey, at least it\u2019s nice to look at.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today, as part of IFA 2026, Motorola dropped the Edge 70 Plus, a new Android smartphone that prioritizes…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1041941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[17],"tags":[2718,414887,611,30089,10740,158,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-1041940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-android","tag-ifa-2026","tag-mobile","tag-motorola","tag-smartphones","tag-technology","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117210294983936127","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1041940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1041940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1041940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1041941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1041940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1041940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1041940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
