Motorola just announced the Edge 70 smartphone, which is an ultra-thin
handset that could rival the recently-launched Apple iPhone Air. It's a bit
thicker than the Air, at 5.9mm compared to 5.6mm, but the camera bump is less
noticeable.

As for that camera bump, the Edge 70 features a trio of 50MP camera sensors.
The main camera can capture 4K video and there's also a front camera, an
ultrawide with a macro lens and a dedicated light sensor. Like most modern
smartphones, there are AI tools available for photo editing.

The frame is made from "aircraft-grade aluminum," which is a good thing
because my uncoordinated fingers will absolutely be dropping this thing
within three days of owning one. Other durability features include Corning
Gorilla Glass 7i and IP69 water protection.

The phone will also have access to the company's proprietary moto ai2
chatbot. This can do all of the usual stuff like create images and answer
queries. However, Motorola also boasts that the AI can understand what's on
the screen and can point users to the correct course of action. We'll have to
wait and see how that works in real life.

This skinny handset somehow includes a massive 4800mAh battery that allows up
to 50 hours of continuous use. That's over two full days of doomscrolling
without ever heading to the power outlet. As a comparison, the iPhone Air
lasts anywhere from 22 to 27 hours

The Edge 70 ships with a magnetic case that can handle wireless charging and
includes a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Mobile chipset. Motorola promises active
software support and security upgrades all the way until 2031.

Given the form factor and specs, the price is actually fairly reasonable. The
Edge 70 starts at £700, which breaks down to around $910 USD. It's available
for purchase right now, but there's a spot of bad news. It's launching in the
UK and there's no current information as to when it'll cross the pond.
