Motorola’s Edge 70 Pro has now made its global debut after launching in India last week. The hardware is impressive, though the first thing most people will probably notice is the way it looks.

The phone has a slim quad-curved body, textured finishes, and Pantone-curated colors that give it a polished look. Motorola has also paired that styling with a very bright 5200 nits 6.8-inch AMOLED screen, which should make the phone easy to use outdoors.

What makes the Edge 70 Pro look different?

The design is the main talking point, with Motorola offering four distinct looks for the Edge 70 Pro. There is a natural wood finish in Pantone Chicory Coffee with Cocoa Cream accents, a wool-inspired Pantone Titan finish with Orient Blue accents, an acetate Pantone Lily White version with Whisper Pink, and a silk-inspired Pantone Zinfandel model with Sangria accents. Each version has its own distinct texture as well.

What else does it have to offer?

Other than the design and finish, the Edge 70 Pro somehow manages to fit a large 6500mAh battery into its slim profile. It has 90W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, Android 16 with 5 years of software support and a MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme processor. The 6.8-inch AMOLED has a refresh rate of 144Hz and comes with Pantone Validated color calibration.

For optics, the phone uses a 50MP Sony LYTIA 710 as its main sensor, paired with a periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom, an ultrawide camera, and a 50MP selfie camera.

In the UK, the Edge 70 Pro costs £749.99, while in Europe, it is priced at €799. France gets a higher €899 price tag, which makes the phone quite expensive for a mid-range device. The phone will also reach the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific in the coming weeks. This release comes after Motorola refreshed its foldable lineup, including a new book-style Razr Fold.

German smartphone maker Volla has launched two new mid-range phones that go against the grain. The Volla Phone Plinius and Plinius Plus are built to last, ship without Google, and let you swap the battery yourself. That last part alone makes them stand out from almost every other smartphone on the market.

Both phones share the same core design: a flat frame, slim bezels, and a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1,000 nits of peak brightness. It even works with wet hands and gloves, which is a nice touch if you spend time outdoors.

The 6,000 mAh battery on the Razr Fold should worry Samsung and Google: Here’s why
With silicon-carbon technology and 80W TurboPower charging, Motorola's first book-style foldable has the specs. Now it just has to prove them.
Motorola Razr Fold

If there's something that stands between foldables and the mainstream smartphone market, it's their battery life, and Motorola has taken it upon itself to fix that. Almost all smartphone giants have their own book-style foldable available in the U.S., and all of them justify the premium with intricate hinges, flexible displays, and other engineering marvels, but somehow, that doesn't extend to their batteries.

You can unfold a foldable to double its screen size; that’s its entire pitch. But does the battery life also double? Unfortunately, it doesn’t. Among the two widely available book-style foldables in the U.S. — Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold — the average battery life remains less than that of regular handsets.

Budget phones with a strong camera, a bright AMOLED display, and proper durability ratings are still uncommon. With the Moto G87, Motorola is trying to put all three into one affordable device.

A 200MP main camera, 5000-nit AMOLED screen, and IP69 rating make it one of the most ambitious Moto G phones in recent years. Its launch also comes alongside Motorola’s higher-end devices, including the Razr Ultra 2026 and the brand’s first book-style foldable.
