Motorola is one of those brands trying to cover all possible market niches. The company has so many models and variants that sometimes even trained professionals feel confused. The Motorola Edge 70 Max is relatively straightforward, as it's the latest flagship to start showing its face in leaks and rumors. The latest one (picked up by Android Authority) involves an official certification and reveals one key feature of the upcoming flagship.

The upcoming model has shown its face in the Wireless Power Consortium certification listing, and even though these certification documents are normally quite boring, they reveal key features with absolute certainty.
In this case, we now know the exact name, model number, and Qi wireless charging support of the Motorola Edge 70 Max. The latter is an important feature, as the phone is about to join an elite Android club.
How important is wireless charging for you in a smartphone?
Motorola Edge 70 Max supports Qi 2.2.1 wireless charging
Now that we know that this model exists, the next big feature this certification uncovers is the latest Qi 2.2.1 wireless charging support. You may have seen this branded as just Qi2, and it's the latest and fastest wireless standard, allowing charging with speeds up to 25W.

Granted, other brands, mainly from the Far East, have faster wireless charging, but they use proprietary technology, such as AIRVOOC, and are not compatible with other brands.
With the Edge 70 Max, Motorola is joining Samsung and Google as the next big name to embrace Qi2. It's quite a jump from the 15W that first-gen Qi supports, but there's one additional benefit.
Here come the magnets!

In the certification papers there's another small abbreviation that hints at a major feature. The Motorola Edge 70 Max supports MPP or Magnetic Power Profile. This is the MagSafe equivalent for Android phones, so to speak, and it allows for a plethora of interesting functionalities.
For starters, the system makes sure that wireless charging coils are properly aligned and the charging is optimal. It's quite convenient, too; you don't have to adjust the phone on the wireless charging pad manually to find the sweet spot; it just snaps in place.
Then comes the wide array of magnetic accessories that this system supports. From chargers and stands to wallets, card holders, and portable batteries.
The Motorola Edge 70 Max could also become one of the relatively affordable Android phones to get these magnetic accessories on top of the faster wireless charging speeds. Speaking of affordable, here's what we currently know about the phone.
What else do we know about the Motorola Edge 70 Max?

Not much. The certification reveals two things, the name and the model number — XT2611. A previous leak from Digital Citizen (now removed) revealed that the phone might get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor (not the Elite version), a 50 MP main camera with a Sony LYTIA sensor. The leak also showed three color options for the Motorola Edge 70 Max — Onyx Black, Sage Green, and Glacier Blue.
We don't know when this phone will officially launch and at what price, but given it's part of the Edge family, we can extrapolate. The Motorola Signature, which previously popped up in rumors as the Edge 70 Ultra, costs 999 euros in Europe, so we can expect the Edge 70 Max to be positioned a tad lower in the 600-700 euros price range.
The Motorola Edge 70 Max probably won't launch in the US, and it's poised to arrive globally later this year, as certifications are a clear sign there's an official release coming.
