Motorola Edge 70 Pro Review: A Sleek Contender in the Mid-Range Market

We’ve finally got our hands on the Motorola Edge 70 Pro, which hit the scene back in April. Priced at €540, it packs 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, offering a solid entry point into the premium-feeling mid-range segment. Depending on your region, you can snag it in some eye-catching Pantone shades: Titan, Zinfandel, Lily White, and Tea.

Out of the box, Motorola keeps things practical. You get the phone, a USB-C cable, and—a thoughtful touch—a hard case that supports MagSafe. It’s always nice to see manufacturers leaning into accessory ecosystems right from the start.

True to its “Edge” lineage, this device is impressively slim, measuring just over 7mm thick and weighing in at a light 190 grams. Motorola has opted for curves on both sides, a design choice that’s becoming a bit of a rarity in today’s world of flat-edged slab phones. It feels fantastic in the hand, though I will say it’s a bit on the slippery side—you’ll definitely want to keep a firm grip on this one.

On the software front, the Edge 70 Pro runs on Hello UI, which is Motorola’s refined, colorful spin on Android 16. It’s refreshing to use—smooth, highly customizable, and focused on genuine utility rather than just trying to mimic iOS. The interface feels snappy, and the visual accents give it a personality all its own.

Camera and Battery Upgrades

The most notable upgrade over the previous model is the dedicated zoom camera. We’re looking at a 50MP 1/2.76-inch sensor tucked behind an 81mm f/2.5 lens. It’s a significant step up from the 73mm f/2.0 setup we saw previously. The rest of the array remains a familiar, highly capable trio of 50MP sensors, covering your main, ultrawide, and selfie needs. We are currently putting these through the ringer, so stay tuned for our full breakdown.

Battery life also sees a boost, climbing to 6,500mAh from the 6,000mAh found in the last generation. Even with that larger cell, you still get the same reliable 90W wired and 15W wireless charging speeds. It’s a setup that prioritizes endurance without leaving you tethered to a wall for too long.
