Smartphone manufacturing giant Motorola quietly launched its new mid-range powerhouse, the Motorola Edge 70. Unlike other top brands, which create significant buzz and market hype before a big launch, Motorola chose to let the phone design and features do the talking. The Edge 70 features an incredibly slim 5.99mm thin profile, military-grade durability, powerful cameras, and an optimised, clean UI, offering an unrivalled blend of style and performance in the segment.
In 2025, several top brands focused on launching ultra-thin phones, with silicon-carbon-based batteries enabling brands to pack larger cells into thinner profiles. The Edge 70 followed the trend; however, the company managed to do so without substantially increasing the cost of the device. The IP68/IP69 ratings ensure the smartphone is protected from dust, water, and dirt, and can withstand submersion up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes, highlighting its ultra-durable build.
