Motorola launched its new Edge 70 mobile phone in India. The phone can be purchased from Flipkart and Motorola’s website, allowing Indian residents to buy it. Before its launch, Motorola promoted the Edge 70 with pre-launch teasers for several weeks, helping Indian consumers anticipate the upcoming release.
With this only now confirmed as an official release in India, Motorola is looking for Indian consumers who prefer a slim device, an unmodified version of Android, and an extended software subscription without paying for a flagship model.
Availability and Sale Details
Flipkart, the Motorola online store, and a few select offline stores in India have the Motorola Edge 70 for purchase, and Flipkart created a teaser page dedicated to the phone with hints of how it looks and key features before the phone was officially launched.
The bank and exchange offers from Motorola will likely be available for the initial device sale, but the specific offers per platform may differ.
Slim Design with Strong Build
One of the most remarkable features of the Motorola Edge 70 is its ultra-thin body, measuring under 6 millimeters, making it one of the slimmest smartphones available today. While this was achieved by reducing the thickness to an extreme level, there are no compromises on quality. The Edge 70 features a very durable metal chassis and a glass back panel, with an IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance.
The only choice Motorola has made about the colors of the Edge 70 has been to maintain its consistency by providing customers with a minimal 3-color palette of classic, understated colors:
- Bronze Green
- Gadget Grey
- Lily Pad
These colors are not loud or flashy. They are designed to look clean and professional.
Display Made for Daily Use
The Motorola Edge 70 has a 6.7-inch display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Users can expect a super-smooth experience from both watching videos and scrolling through apps/videos/etc.
The brightness on the Motorola Edge 70 is high enough that users should be able to use their devices outdoors without too many problems. While the curve on the Motorola Edge 70 gives it a premium look, it is still considered a mid-tier smartphone in terms of its overall specifications.
Performance and Software Experience
The Motorola Edge 70 is powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 7 and offers up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, which should be sufficient for most users.
The phone can handle:
- Daily apps
- Social media
- Light to medium gaming
- Video streaming
On the software side, Motorola offers Android 16 with its Hello UI. The interface is clean and easy to use, with very few extra apps.
Motorola has also confirmed long-term support:
- 4 Android version updates
- 5 years of security updates
This makes the Edge 70 a good choice for users who do not change phones often.
Camera Setup
The Motorola Edge 70 features a dual rear-facing camera with 50 megapixels per lens. The primary lens produces clear, mostly balanced images in average lighting and environments. In contrast, the second lens enables users to create additional pictures of similar quality from different angles and settings.
The Edge 70’s front-facing camera is also 50MP, enabling professional-grade selfies and high-resolution video calls.
There is no Zoom camera here, but for regular users, the camera setup should be more than enough.
Charging and Batteries
This smartphone has an ultra-long-lasting 5,000 mAh battery and typically delivers a full day of regular use before needing to recharge.
Charging options include:
- 68W fast wired charging
- 15W wireless charging
This allows users to charge the phone quickly and get back to using it without long waits.
Cloud Dancer Swarovski Edition
Motorola has released the Cloud Dancer edition of the Edge 70. This special edition device uses PANTONE’s Color of the Year and features Swarovski crystal embellishments on the back. The Cloud Dancer edition emphasizes design and aesthetics; however, it uses the same hardware components as the mainline Edge 70 device. Currently, there has been no confirmation from Motorola regarding the availability of the Cloud Dancer edition in India.
Expected Price in India
The estimated price of the Edge 70 in India is ₹35,000, according to some sources. If this price is accurate, the Edge 70 would be another of several competing with well-established premium (mid-range) brands in India, such as Samsung/OnePlus.
Final Word
The Edge 70 by Motorola is a sleek Android mobile device with a clean, minimalistic software experience and an extended software update commitment to the Indian market. Instead of including a pile of unnecessary, excessive features, Edge 70 focuses on the features users need for everyday use. Clean line with minimalist styling and appearance, the Motorola Edge 70 exemplifies that Design!
