Motorola has just unveiled its latest offering, the Edge 70 smartphone, which boasts an ultra-thin design that puts it squarely in competition with Apple's recently launched iPhone Air. Weighing in at a mere 5.9mm, this phone is a significant departure from the norm - while the iPhone Air clocks in at a svelte 5.6mm.
But don't be fooled by its slender profile: under the hood, the Edge 70 packs a punch with a trio of 50MP camera sensors, including a main shooter capable of capturing 4K video and a front-facing camera with a macro lens and dedicated light sensor. AI tools are also on board for photo editing.
When it comes to build quality, Motorola is touting aircraft-grade aluminum as the primary material - a move that might just pay off given its reputation for durability. Other safety features include Corning Gorilla Glass 7i and IP69 water protection, ensuring this phone can withstand the rigors of daily use.
But what really sets the Edge 70 apart is its battery life - a whopping 4800mAh capacity that's expected to last up to 50 hours of continuous use. That's an impressive feat, especially when compared to Apple's iPhone Air, which manages around 22-27 hours on a single charge.
The phone also comes with Motorola's proprietary moto ai2 chatbot, capable of performing tasks like image creation and answering user queries. And if that weren't enough, the Edge 70 boasts AI-powered features that can detect what's on screen and provide users with personalized guidance.
With an initial price tag of £700 (approximately $910 USD), the Edge 70 seems surprisingly reasonable given its specs. However, it remains to be seen when - or if - this phone will make its way across the Atlantic.

! I mean, what's next? AI-powered toilets that can give you a virtual massage while you're on the throne? 
The Edge 70 might have a whoppin' 4800mAh battery life, but I'd rather have a phone that lasts me a whole day without needing to be charged than one that's always glued to my side like a needy significant other. 
And don't even get me started on the price tag - £700?! That's more money than I spend on a nice dinner for two! 
How am I supposed to justify spending that kind of cash on a phone when I could be eating out instead? 
. but at £700, its still a pretty steep price point, especially considering apples iphone air is already around that price range... plus, i'm not convinced about the AI tools and chatbot being game changers - sounds like just another gimmick 
. also, motorola's reputation for durability is solid, but can they really deliver on that? gotta keep an eye on reviews before making a purchase 
. And £700 might be steep, but if it can really deliver that kind of endurance, I'd consider splurging 
.
, I mean, a 4800mAh battery is like, insane for a phone! 
. Now, £700 might be a bit steep for some ppl, but for me, it's worth it just cuz of that battery life. Fingers crossed it makes its way to the States soon 
- The world has changed dramatically in terms of smartphone technology, and Motorola just released a beast of a device that could give Apple's iPhone Air a run for its money. With those specs, I think £700 is actually a pretty reasonable price tag considering the battery life alone would make it worth the investment.
I mean, who needs a macro lens when you've got three 50MP shooters?! And don't even get me started on that battery life - 4800mAh? That's like, crazy! 
I'm already imagining myself using it all day without having to charge it. The AI tools and moto ai2 chatbot are the cherry on top 
... the only thing keeping me from jumping ship is that initial price tag 
But £700 is still a bit steep for me... maybe they'll bring it out here and we can see if the specs live up to the hype
