Fresh leaks have revealed details about a new Motorola smartphone — the Motorola Edge 70 5G. While Motorola hasn’t officially confirmed the device, reports suggest it could be the global variant of the Moto X70 Air, which is expected to launch soon in China. The phone is rumored to be the direct successor to the Motorola Edge 60, but with a major leap in performance and positioning.
Price and Variants
According to tipster reports, the Motorola Edge 70 5G may carry a price tag of around EUR 690 (roughly ₹70,000) in international markets. That’s a big step up from its predecessor’s pricing. The device is expected to launch in three Pantone color options — Bronze Green, Gadget Gray, and Lily Pad. At least one high-end model with 12GB RAM + 512GB storage is tipped, though more configurations may arrive at launch.
Rumored Design and Specifications
Leaked renders have shown the Edge 70 with a flat display and a centered hole-punch selfie camera. On the back, the phone appears to have a slightly raised triple-camera setup, complete with stylish color accents around the lenses. Another interesting detail is a dedicated Moto AI button, hinting at deeper AI-driven features.
Performance-wise, the phone is expected to pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset — a serious upgrade over the mid-range hardware of the Edge 60. This aligns with Motorola’s strategy of pushing the Edge 70 into a premium flagship category.
From Mid-Range to Flagship Territory
For context, the Motorola Edge 60 launched in India in June 2025 with the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 and a starting price of ₹25,999. If the leaks around the Edge 70 are accurate, Motorola appears to be shifting gears — aiming for a more premium spot in the global smartphone market.
