Motorola is the latest brand to enter the thin phone segment where the premium table has Apple’s iPhone Air and Samsung.

Motorola is the new brand to bring an Air phone to the market.
The Air smartphone frenzy continues with the new Motorola device that is not really eyeing the premium table. The Moto X70 Air was teased recently and now we have the official details about the model and where it fits into the thin smartphone debate.
The lightweight design of the new Air model is evident and you even got to see the raised camera module as a result of trimming the device. Now, we can tell you that the Moto phone is using a Snapdragon chipset, has a very Motorola-like design and carries a triple camera setup which is better than what most thin phones have offered.
Moto X70 Air Price And Launch Details
Moto X70 Air has been introduced in China this week but the company has not shared the price details but has mentioned that Motorola Edge 70 will be the name of the device launching in the European market in November.
Moto X70 Air Features: Better Than iPhone Air?
When you go through the feature list for the Moto X70 Air you realise the comparisons with premium thin phones is a stretch. It has a 6.7-inch 1.5K pOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 4,500 nits of peak brightness. The design sheet tells you the device comes with 5.9mm in thickness and weighs 159 grams, which is quite comparable to Apple and Samsung’s thin phones.
However, you get it powered by a mid-range Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. This means Motorola won’t charge you over a lakh for its thin phone.
It seems to be equipped with a 3D vapour chamber cooling system which is quite a feat for its size. The phone has a triple rear camera setup that comes with a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultra wide lens. The front of the phone also has a 50MP shooter.
The other big change with the Moto X70 Air is that you have a 4,800mAh battery packed into the thin frame that also gets 68W fast wired charging along with 15W wireless charging support.
