Motorola has officially entered the race of ultra-thin smartphones with the launch of the Motorola X70 Air in China, measuring just 5.99mm. It competes directly with the iPhone Air which is 5.6mm thick, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge that measures 5.8mm. The Motorola X70 Air is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and packs a 4,800mAh battery with support for 68W of wired charging and 20W of wireless charging.
