Thin phones are in fashion and Motorola doesn’t want to miss this opportunity. It announces the imminent launch of the X70 Air in China, a slim phone with a surprisingly big battery, which we expect to see soon also in Europe as the Edge 70.
The X70 Air is less than 6mm thick, putting it in the same territory as the 5.6mm iPhone Air and 5.8mm Galaxy S25 Edge, and weighs just 159g. Even so, its 4,800mAh battery is much larger than those phones, which will be a big part of its appeal. Otherwise, it’s not a small phone, with a 6.7-inch screen, and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset won’t provide flagship power, but it will likely cost a lot less than Samsung and Apple phones.
The X70 Air goes on sale in China on October 31, while Motorola says it will launch an Edge phone in Europe for November 5, likely the same model.
