JAKARTA - Ultra-thin phones are once again a major trend in the smartphone world. Following the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and the recently released iPhone Air, now it's Motorola's turn to join the fray with this super-slim design.
Renowned leaker Evan Blass has just shared a promotional image of a device suspected to be the Moto Edge 70. While the series name isn't particularly surprising, the phone's design looks quite different from its predecessor.
From the angle of the image, which emphasizes its thin edges, it's clear that Motorola wants to emphasize its extreme thinness as a key selling point. This is further reinforced by the tagline: "Impossibly thin and incredibly tough."
While this trend could be considered a fad, the Edge 70's design looks quite attractive. However, it's difficult to judge how thin this phone is compared to its predecessor, the Moto Edge 60.
Overall, the Edge 70 appears to be a natural evolution of the Edge 60, including the use of a textured back and the continued presence of the Moto AI Key. The camera module hasn't changed much, still using a camera bump with a slightly protruding lens. Motorola also maintains the curved display side design, typical of the Edge series.
Interestingly, the Edge 70's thinness doesn't seem to come from changes to the frame, but rather from efforts to shrink other components inside the phone's body. The Moto Edge 60 itself is around 7.9 mm thick, which isn't exactly slim. This allows the Edge 70 to be thinner and lighter.
Motorola's collaboration with Pantone also appears to be continuing, which is a significant aesthetic plus.
This move seems quite sensible for Motorola. The brand is no stranger to creating ultra-thin smartphones — in fact, neither the Galaxy S25 Edge nor the iPhone Air have managed to surpass the thinness of the Moto Z, released almost a decade ago.
However, consumer expectations for smartphones have changed significantly since then. Judging by this leaked image, it doesn't appear the Edge 70 will bring back the modular innovation of Moto Mods, so don't expect much in the way of revolutionary features.
There's no official word yet on when the Edge 70 will launch. Considering the Edge 60 was only released last April, the Edge 70's launch is likely within the immediate future. However, as usual, Motorola's flagship Edge series is geared more towards the mid-range, so don't expect flagship-level specs from this phone.
