The Edge 70 Fusion ships running Android 16 with security updates until 2031.
Motorola has launched a new mid-range smartphone globally packing a 144 Hz and 5,200 nit AMOLED display. Already available in Europe, the Edge 70 Fusion will reach India later this week. India is also receiving a variant with a larger battery capacity than its peers, too.

Motorola has expanded the Edge 70 series with the Edge 70 Fusion. A cheaper alternative to the Edge 70, the Edge 70 Fusion utilises the same chipset as recent mid-range smartphones like the Fairphone 6 and the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro and the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus. Additionally, Motorola complements the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 with a 5,200 mAh battery in Europe but a 7,000 mAh battery in India.

Both variants support 68 W charging. Moreover, the Edge 70 Fusion features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display that resolves at 2,772 x 1,272 pixels with a 144 Hz refresh rate and 5,200 nits peak brightness. On top of that, the handset contains 50 MP primary (LYT-710), 13 MP ultra-wide-angle and 32 MP front-facing cameras. For reference, Motorola has crammed all this hardware inside an IP69 certified housing that weighs 177 g and measures 162.8 x 75.6 x 7.2 mm or 7.99 mm and 193 g in India.

The Edge 70 Fusion is available in Pantone-branded Country Air, Orient Blue, Silhouette and Sporting Green colour options. However, the device can only be configured with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage for £370 in the UK and €419.99 (~$490) in the Eurozone. Currently, Motorola is bundling a free pair of Moto Buds Loop (curr. $139 on Amazon) with Edge 70 Fusion pre-orders. Please see Motorola's website for more details.
