Motorola Edge 70 India Launch Confirmed With Ultra-Slim Design and Promising Upgrades

Motorola has now officially confirmed that the highly anticipated Motorola Edge 70 is arriving soon in India. After weeks of leaks and speculations, the brand has now activated a teaser page on Flipkart, giving users their first official look at the device. While the exact launch date still remains unannounced, industry insiders expect the smartphone to arrive later this month. The handset has already made international headlines under two names-first as the Moto X70 Air and later as the Edge 70 in Europe.

The talking point for the Motorola Edge 70 is its extremely slim design. With a measurement of just 5.99mm, this mobile phone joins an elite club of ultra-slim smartphones in India, including the Tecno Pova Slim, the Apple iPhone Air, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. This emphasis on sleekness suggests that Motorola is targeting customers who desire lightweight, stylish gadgets that do not sacrifice the expectations for performance associated with today's market.

Flipkart’s microsite currently previews the design of the Edge 70 but keeps most key specifications under wraps. This is fueling speculation, as earlier reports indicated the Indian variant may sport a larger battery. Globally, the phone contains a 4,800mAh battery, which is smaller than many competitors and even smaller than the 5,500mAh unit used within the Edge 60. If Motorola increases the battery capacity for India, that would be a significant advantage-particularly since slim mid-range phones are often pushing battery sizes towards 7,000mAh today. A larger battery also might help Motorola better position the Edge 70 as a practical, long-lasting daily driver.

The other area of interest naturally is the expected pricing. If early leaks are anything to go by, the Motorola Edge 70 India price might come in below ₹35,000, thus being more affordable than its European model. At the same time, that's still a fair bit higher than the starting price of the Edge 60, which debuted at ₹25,999. Typically, the Edge Pro models occupy the top shelf in Motorola's lineup, and the Edge 60 Pro starts at ₹29,999. This makes the pricing strategy of the Edge 70 quite interesting, and Motorola's decisions here will go a long way in defining the success of the phone in India's crowded mid-premium segment.

Coming to the hardware, the Motorola Edge 70 is said to debut in India with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, which is indeed the same processor Motorola deploys globally. The camera department could be led by a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP selfies camera. While these numbers appear appealing on paper, early reports indicate that the Indian variant could also miss out on the telephoto lens a feature already offered by the Edge 60. This is something that photography enthusiasts would want to keep a close eye on.

The company is expected to equip a 6.7-inch 1.5K pOLED display upfront, with a 2712 × 1220 pixels resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness rating of as high as 4,500 nits. Unlike the Edge 60, it uses a flat display, which many of its users now prefer to have on their devices for better durability and more accurate touches. Mated to its ultra-slim profile, this display might make the Edge 70 a great choice for users in search of a visually appealing yet comfortable device.

The bigger question, of course, is how the Motorola Edge 70 stacks up against competition in its price segment. With options under ₹35,000 promising everything from periscope lenses to large batteries, its success depends on whether its svelte design translates into meaningful real-world advantages. Users migrating from the Edge 60 may thus want to wait for full reviews before upgrading, with some trade-offs seeming likely on the spec sheet. Still, for those buyers who particularly value slimness, light weight, and modern premium aesthetics, the Motorola Edge 70 should be an interesting contender. With reportedly lower pricing than rivals such as the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge, Motorola could see itself the object of desire for a big chunk of consumers chasing stylish mid-range performance at non-flagship prices.
