New Delhi: So finally, after many leaks and rumours, Motorola has finally launched their ultra-thin design phone in China, which is called the Moto Edge 70, but in China, it is called the X70 Air. At 5.3mm thick, the X70 air actually measures in as a slimmer device than either of those devices, while simultaneously bundling a massive 4800mAh battery within. At just 159 g, it’s one of the lightest 6.7-inch smartphones ever launched. Motorola’s leaning on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, not the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite.
It’s not a good processor, but if users were hoping for a genuine alternative to those other slim devices like Apple Air, then they are expecting some powerful processor, which isn’t quite the same thing. Its specifications sheet is made up of some pretty excellent improvements, though, including 68W fast charging for that battery, and there is an IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance, a growing trend from the Chinese OEMs.
Its design is equally stunning, mainly thanks to some of the enjoyable colour choices, with the matching camera rings. The teal and orange combo is beautiful and, compared to the washed-out silver hues leaned on by Samsung and Apple in this space, feels equally refreshing; those colours are, as usual, of Motorola’s partnership with Pantone, which has kept the company as a rare outlier in the market filled with the boring, played-out shades. This Moto X70 Air is arriving in China on October 31, while Motorola UK continues to tease the Edge announcement for the next month.
