The Moto X70 Air Challenges The iPhone Air With A 4,800 mAh Battery In 6 Mm Thickness
After several teasers, Motorola officially unveiled its latest model, the new Moto X70 Air, the first in a brand new “Air” series.
With its ultra-slim profile of just 5.99 mm and a featherweight of 159 g, the Moto X70 Air emphasizes lightness and elegance — without compromising on power.
Moto X70 Air: A Bright And Fluid 1.5K Display
The smartphone features a 6.7-inch pOLED display with a resolution of 1.5K (2712 × 1220 pixels), a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection.
The visual experience promises to be fluid and immersive, supported by a 10-bit panel capable of displaying over a billion colors.
Balanced Performance
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (built on a 4 nm process) combined with the Adreno 722 GPU. This is paired with 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage, running on Android 16.
Motorola has also included a 3D VC Vapor Chamber cooling system, a rarity in such a thin smartphone, ensuring good thermal dissipation even during intensive use.
Strength And Elegant Design
Despite its slim profile, the Moto X70 Air features a metallic structure, IP68 and IP69 waterproofing, and even MIL-STD-810H military certification — a testament to its uncommon durability for such a thin phone.

It is capable of recording in 4K at 30 fps, while benefiting from Motorola’s enhanced image processing.
Strong Battery Life And Fast Charging
The smartphone is equipped with a 4,800 mAh battery, compatible with TurboPower 68 W wired charging and 15 W wireless charging. Motorola promises several hours of use with just a few minutes of charging.
