New pictures showcasing Motorola's next ultra-thin smartphone have turned up online. At the same time, the EU's energy label indicates that the Motorola Edge 70 will easily surpass the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge when it comes to battery life.

The launch of the Motorola Edge 70 should be occurring in the few days. Although not confirmed just yet, the company has hinted that it has an Edge 70-related global announcement to make on October 29. In the meantime it has been racking up launch bonuses, which now exceed $650 across various freebies, offers and discounts.

Now, Nieuwe Mobiel has obtained more details about the Edge 70 ahead of time. Embedded below, two of the images reiterate that Motorola plans to offer the Edge 70 in the same Pantone Bronze Green and Pantone Lily Pad colour options in which the Moto X70 Air has also been shown. Additionally, these same images highlight that the Edge 70 features a 4,800 mAh battery despite being only slightly thicker than the iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge (curr. $689 - used on Amazon).

Meanwhile, the European Union (EU) energy label indicates that the device's battery should retain at least 80% of its 4,800 mAh peak capacity after 1,000 charge cycles. For context, the EU rates reports that the Galaxy Z Fold7 should reach this level after 2,000 cycles, although this is higher than many other Android smartphones.

Also, IP68 certification is mentioned, as is excellent drop protection and energy efficiency, but only a 'B' rating for repairability. Apparently, the Edge 70 will deliver almost 50 hours of battery life between charges, too. In other words, the EU believes that the Edge 70 could last up to 25% longer on a single charge than the Galaxy S25 Edge or .iPhone Air.
