Motorola Edge 70 India Launch: Ultra-Slim 5.99mm Beast Arrives Dec 15 – Leaked Specs & My Price Prediction! 📱✨
Hey, Motorola fans and slim-phone obsessives! If you've been scrolling through endless mid-range mediocrity, December just got exciting. The Motorola Edge 70 is officially teasing its India debut on December 15, 2025, via a cryptic Pantone color drop on X – think Bronze Green, Gadget Grey, and Lily Pad vibes that scream premium without the bulk. This global follow-up to the China-exclusive Moto X70 Air is Motorola's thinnest trick yet at 5.99mm – slimmer than your average earbud case – while packing a 5,000mAh battery that laughs at "all-day" claims. Leaks from tipsters like Mukul Sharma confirm Flipkart exclusivity, with sales firing up the same day.
But with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, 50MP triple cams, and wireless charging in this segment? It's not just a looker – it's a contender. As someone who's all about value in India's cutthroat market, I crunched the leaks (and benchmarks) to predict its price. Spoiler: It should be a steal under ₹35k. Let's unpack the hype.
Launch Scoop: Dec 15 Tease – What to Expect
Motorola's X post dropped the Pantone palette, but the full reveal is locked for the 15th – expect a virtual event with live demos of that featherlight 159g build. India gets a custom tweak: a bumped-up 5,000mAh silicon-carbon battery (vs. global 4,800mAh) for those marathon Mumbai commutes. Availability? Flipkart, Motorola's site, and offline hubs, with EMI and bank cashback to make it impulse-buy friendly.
This slots into Motorola's 2025 groove post-Edge 60 series, aiming to steal thunder from the Realme 16 Pro (Jan launch) and Nothing Phone (3). Slim design + wireless charging? Motorola's playing 4D chess.
Leaked Specs: Slim But Mighty – Full Breakdown
Drawing from global filings and India-specific whispers, here's the rumored kit. It's a mid-premium powerhouse wrapped in glass-fiber armor (Gorilla Glass 7i for drops and scratches).
- Display: 6.7-inch pOLED (1.5K resolution, 1220x2712), 120Hz refresh for silky scrolls and HDR10+ Netflix binges. Curved edges? Yes, but bezels are whisper-thin at 446ppi – vibrant under any light.
- Processor: Fresh Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (4nm, octa-core: 1x Cortex-A720 @2.8GHz prime, 4x @2.4GHz performance, 3x efficiency). Benchmarks? AnTuTu ~1.1M+, Geekbench single/multi ~1,200/3,300 – a 27% CPU and 30% GPU jump over the 7 Gen 3. Handles Genshin at high frames without sweat; beats Dimensity 8300 in efficiency.
- Cameras: Triple rear – 50MP main (OIS, Sony LYT-700C sensor) for sharp low-light portraits, 50MP ultrawide (120° FOV), and a 10MP telephoto/macro hybrid (3x optical zoom). Front? 50MP punch-hole for buttery 4K selfies. AI scene detection and 8K video? On deck.
- Battery & Charging: 5,000mAh silicon-carbon cell (India-exclusive size) with 68W wired (full in ~35 mins) and 15W wireless – rare in this price tier. Reverse wireless too, for earbud top-ups.
- Software & Extras: Android 16 out-of-box with Hello UI 5 (clean, bloat-free, 3 OS updates promised). In-display fingerprint, IP68 rating, stereo Dolby Atmos speakers, and 5G/Wi-Fi 7. Weight? A breezy 159g.
- Storage: Likely 8/128GB or 12/256GB base – expandable via microSD.
No LTPO adaptive refresh (stuck at fixed 120Hz), but for the slim factor? Forgivable.

My Price Prediction: ₹32,000 – Here's Why
Leaked ranges hover ₹30k-₹35k, with most tipsters eyeing under ₹35,000 to undercut global €799 (~₹72k) pricing. But let's get real – I peg the 8/128GB base at ₹31,999 (12/256GB at ₹34,999). Why?
- Value Math: The Edge 60 launched at ₹25,999 with Dimensity 7400 (similar to 7 Gen 3). The 7 Gen 4's 27% CPU/30% GPU uplift + wireless charging + slimmer design justifies a ~20-25% premium (~₹6k-₹7k hike).
- Rivals Check: Nothing Phone (2a) Plus (~₹27k) has no wireless; Realme GT 6T (~₹30k) skips the slim factor. At ₹32k, it slots perfectly – aggressive enough to move units, premium enough for Pantone bragging rights.
- Launch Strategy: Motorola loves undercutting (Edge 50 Pro hit ₹31k post-deals). Expect ₹2k-₹3k bank offers on Flipkart to make it feel like ₹29k.
If it's ₹35k+, it'll flop against the Poco F7 (better battery) – Motorola, keep it sharp!
Final Verdict: A Slim Icon Worth the Hype?
The Edge 70 isn't reinventing – it's refining. That 5.99mm magic + wireless charging in a mid-ranger? Chef's kiss for style chasers tired of chunky flagships. Battery life's the wildcard (silicon-carbon helps density), but benchmarks say it'll crush daily drivers. At my predicted ₹32k, it's a no-brainer upgrade from the Edge 60.
