Motorola is gearing up to expand its 5G portfolio in India with the arrival of the Motorola Edge 70, and the company has now officially circled December 15 as launch day. The phone will not only be unveiled on that date but will also go on sale immediately, giving early adopters the chance to grab it from Flipkart, Motorola’s own online store, and select offline retailers without the usual waiting period.
Launch and availability in India
In the crowded mid-range space, the Edge 70 is shaping up as Motorola’s answer to users who want a slim, premium-feeling device without jumping to flagship-level prices. 
The smartphone is expected to land around the ₹35,000 mark, roughly 390 dollars, positioning it against popular upper mid-range 5G models from rival brands. That pricing suggests a focus on delivering a balanced mix of design, performance, and camera quality rather than chasing pure spec-sheet bragging rights.
Design and build
One of the headline talking points is its design. At just 5.99 mm thin, the Motorola Edge 70 aims to be one of the slimmest mainstream phones you can buy, a welcome change for buyers tired of bulky, brick-like devices. A slim profile usually makes a phone more comfortable for one-handed use, easier to slip into pockets, and more stylish on the table, especially when combined with Motorola’s typically clean aesthetic and minimal branding.
Performance and connectivity
Under the hood, Motorola is using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, a modern 5G-capable SoC built for demanding everyday use. While it is not pitched as a full-blown flagship processor, it should comfortably handle social media, multitasking, photography, and even a fair amount of gaming, particularly when paired with Motorola’s near-stock Android experience. For users upgrading from older 4G or early 5G phones, the jump in responsiveness and network speeds is likely to feel significant.
Cameras and everyday use
Camera hardware is another area where the Edge 70 tries to stand out. On the back, Motorola has equipped the phone with a dual 50 megapixel camera setup, giving plenty of resolution for detailed daytime photos and extra flexibility for portraits or wider shots, depending on how Motorola configures the lenses. On the front, there is yet another 50 megapixel camera dedicated to selfies and video calls, which should please users who spend a lot of time on Instagram, TikTok, or conference calls.
Battery, storage and pricing
Interestingly, while the Indian variant is expected to share most of its specifications with the global Motorola Edge 70, leaks suggest that India may receive a larger battery than some international models. That would pair nicely with the power-efficient Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and 5G connectivity to deliver all-day use even for heavy users. Early listings abroad already mention a configuration with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, hinting that Indian buyers could also see generous memory options aimed at power users and media hoarders.
Early verdict for Indian buyers
Reviews of the global version of the Motorola Edge 70 5G have already started to appear, giving a preview of what Indian customers can expect in terms of display quality, software polish, and real-world camera behaviour. If Motorola manages to combine that experience with competitive India-specific pricing and the rumored battery upgrade, the Edge 70 could become a compelling option for those who want a slim, stylish Android phone that does not compromise on 5G performance, storage capacity, or camera versatility.

Another midrange slab, but at least this one looks thin and clean, not a chunky brick
If they nail the price around 35k with 12GB RAM, this might replace my ageing OnePlus ngl
