Motorola Edge 70 Overview
Design and Display
Starting with the design, the Motorola Edge 70 looks every bit premium. It features an ultra-slim 5.99mm aluminum frame and weighs just 159 grams, making it one of the thinnest and lightest phones in its segment. Despite the slim profile, Motorola hasn’t compromised on durability. The phone comes with IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance along with MIL-STD-810H certification, ensuring it can handle tough environments.
On the front, the Edge 70 sports a 6.7-inch pOLED display with a sharp 1.5K resolution (2712 × 1220 pixels). You get a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and an impressive 4,500 nits of peak brightness, making it excellent for outdoor use. Protection is handled by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, and the 10-bit color depth ensures rich and vibrant visuals.
