Motorola’s ultra-thin answer to Apple and Samsung doesn’t skip a beat on battery [Gallery]

Today, every phone manufacturer aspires to produce a thin phone, and one of the most seasoned is demonstrating why it has been in the market for so long. It is said that Motorola’s next Edge 70 will have a significantly larger battery than the most well-liked thin models.

Motorola has decided to handle leaks on its own. A brief teaser for the upcoming Edge 70 was recently released on Motorola’s official Polish website. According to the website, the company releases tidbits of its new phone every Wednesday as part of a weekly teaser series.

The Motorola Edge 70 is displayed on that page with a straightforward text block that describes the precise battery type that the new, incredibly thin phone will have. In light of the current flagships, the Motorola Edge 70’s 4,800mAh battery may not seem like a significant accomplishment, but it is.

The company further emphasizes this by stating that the phone will use a silicon-carbon battery, a battery technology that hasn’t been adopted by Samsung, Apple, or even Google. Energy transfer rates from silicon-carbon batteries are more effective, and a 4,800mAh silicon-carbon battery may even outlast a conventional Li-ion device in terms of longevity.

It’s important to note, however, that the new Apple iPhone Air has a 3,149mAh battery, while the 5.8mm Galaxy S25 Edge has a meager 3,900mAh. In order to capitalize on the popularity of ultra-thin gadgets, both of those phones were released. The iPhone Air only takes up 5point 6mm of space, whereas the Galaxy S25 Edge is only 5point 8mm thick.

Samsung’s thin offering and Motorola’s Edge 70 are both 5point 8mm, according to recent reports. Although the Edge lineup has consistently been described as “thin,” there is a noticeable difference in thickness between the company’s previous generation of Edge devices.

The Motorola Edge 70 will have a significant edge over all other ultra-thin devices on the market thanks to its 4,800mAh capacity. Since the S25 Edge will have the same thickness profile, the company won’t have much of an excuse if the upcoming model doesn’t match flagship-level battery specifications.

There are multiple legal notices on the same official website that relate to features that aren’t even mentioned there. The Motorola Edge 70, for example, is mentioned as having a 50MP camera and IP68 and IP69 ratings. Be cautious when reading these legal notices because they may be construed as generalized summaries of insufficient information.

They do, however, reveal some intriguing information. For example, it looks like the phone will cost between €799 and €899. Additionally, information about Gorilla Glass i7 is provided, which might suggest that Motorola selected that substance for the display covering. Additionally mentioned is VRAM, which is a good feature to have in a phone like that.

Motorola produces good Android phones that can easily compete with Google, Samsung, OnePlus, and other companies, despite the fact that the brand hasn’t been a household name in a while. Additionally, according to GSMArena, the Edge 70 will support 15W wireless charging, which is presumed to be Qi2, and 68W wired charging. Regarding whether or not that is “Qi2-ready,” nothing is known.

Additionally, the phone will have 12GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC. All things considered, it seems like a good choice, especially in light of the significant compromises required by other thin iOS and Android devices.
