The aptly named Moto X70 Air is official (in China) with a spec sheet that’s likely to make both Apple and Samsung jealous of Motorola’s engineering feat.
The master of budget-friendly Android mid-rangers around the world is done sitting idly by and watching Samsung and Apple battle for the ultra-thin smartphone throne, as the hot new Moto X70 Air somehow manages to be almost as slim as the Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone Air with a way bigger battery under its hood and a presumably significantly lower price point soon to be attached to its name.

But while such comparisons obviously make zero sense when it comes to things like processing power and camera performance, it’s hard not to point out that the S25 Edge, for instance, barely squeezes a 3,900mAh battery into its razor-thin 5.8mm body.
The Moto X70 Air, meanwhile, is somehow capable of offering 23 percent more cell capacity almost without increasing the product thickness.
