The Moto X70 Air with 4800mAh battery is now official in China, positioning itself as one of the thinnest 5G smartphones ever launched — yet without compromising on battery life. Motorola is betting on ultra-slim engineering, premium materials, and wireless charging to build a mid-range device that looks (and feels) like a flagship.
Expected to arrive globally as the Motorola Edge 70, this phone targets users who want something featherlight in the hand without giving up modern performance, display smoothness, or fast charging.
Ultra-Thin, Ultra-Light — But Still Practical
Where most slim phones sacrifice battery life, the Moto X70 Air with 4800mAh battery manages to stay just 5.99mm thin and 159 grams light. That’s slimmer than most flagship models, including the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge — both of which house smaller cells.
This gives the Moto X70 Air a unique identity in the mid-premium space: thin like a design phone, but long-lasting like a performance device.
The Indian launch is expected after November under the Motorola Edge 70 branding, likely keeping pricing between ₹32,000–₹38,000.

Display & Build Quality
Motorola’s design push is clear. The X70 Air uses a flat 6.7-inch pOLED display rated at 4500 nits peak brightness, making it extremely visible outdoors — even in harsh sunlight. The Pantone-validated colours (Gadget Grey, Lily Pad, and Bronze Green) give the device a premium finish.
The IP69 rating means it’s not only dustproof and waterproof — it can withstand high-pressure water jets, something even many flagships don’t offer.
Performance & Thermals
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 might not be a gaming flagship chip, but paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, it feels fast in daily use. Motorola also included a 3D vapor chamber, which is rare in thin phones, helping keep temperatures under control during sustained use.
Apps open quickly, multitasking feels fluid, and casual to moderate gaming should pose no issues.
Cameras
The Moto X70 Air comes with a triple 50MP setup:
50MP main (Samsung sensor)
50MP ultra-wide
50MP selfie
Motorola is clearly chasing consistency here rather than megapixel marketing. The ultra-wide and selfies should be noticeably better than typical mid-range phones using cheaper sensors.
Battery & Charging
This is where the phone quietly impresses. The Moto X70 Air with 4800mAh battery outdoes most thin smartphones — and even beats thinner flagships that ship with 3,000–3,900mAh batteries.
Charging is also generous for the segment:
✅ 68W wired fast charging
✅ 15W wireless charging (rare in this category)
Combined, this makes the X70 Air one of the most balanced thin phones currently announced.
Verdict — Thin, Practical, and Surprisingly Premium
The Moto X70 Air with 4800mAh battery is shaping up to be a standout mid-range phone — not just for its slim profile, but for how well Motorola balanced design with real-world usability.
Who should consider it?
Users who prioritize lightweight, slim form factor
Professionals and students who want wireless charging + modern design
Camera casuals who value ultra-wide + selfie quality
Anyone who dislikes bulky phones but doesn’t want weak battery life
Who might skip it?
Heavy gamers needing Snapdragon 8-series performance
Users who want stereo speakers
Buyers waiting for the global Edge 70 variant pricing
If Motorola brings aggressive pricing to India (under ₹35,000 ideally), this could become one of the most popular thin phones of 2025 — especially with its Apple Air-style look but bigger battery and fast charging advantages.
