Motorola is joining the ultra-slim smartphone market, but it plans to challenge the Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone Air with a much better battery. The company has started teasing the Edge 70, and plans to reveal something new every Wednesday until the final announcement on November 5.
Motorola has officially revealed a giant battery for the Edge 70
The first bit of information shared by the company is that the Edge 70 will have a 4,800 mAh battery. According to a teaser page on Motorola’s Bulgarian site, the device will feature a silicon-carbon battery, and it’ll support 68W charging.
Further down, the legal notices section includes more details about the phone, which are not mentioned on the page. According to them, the Motorola Edge 70 will have an IP68/IP69 rating and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. The page also mentions versions with 8GB and 12GB RAM, a Gorilla Glass 7i, and Dolby Atmos.
Part of the notes is also a notice about Circle to Search and clarification that moto AI features will be available in nine languages. Those are:

Motorola Edge 70 is rumored to measure 5.8 mm, which would match the thickness of the Galaxy S25 Edge. However, Samsung’s device has a rather humble 3,900 mAh battery on board. Apple’s iPhone Air has an even smaller battery with 3,149 mAh capacity, and it’s 5.6 mm thick.

Unlike Apple and Samsung, the Edge 70 won’t feature a flagship processor, and it may rely on a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. However, its price still seems to be unknown. A listing at one Italian retailer has a price of €709, but another one has it for €801.91.
Ultra slim for the masses
While the Motorola Edge 70 is surely not aiming to provide the flagship experience that Apple and Samsung are offering, it will be the first more affordable slim smartphone on the global market. That could turn out to be crucial for the future of smartphones.
