Ultra-thin phones have once again made their way into the roadmaps of many manufacturers, and Motorola doesn't want to be left out of this trend. small nicheAfter launching the Moto X70 Air in October, and with plans to advance its ultra-thin Edge 70The brand has almost finished the Moto X70 Air Pro, a more ambitious version that goes for extreme design without sacrificing more power or a strong push in artificial intelligence.
This new model is born as the advanced variant of the X70 Air —marketed in Europe as Motorola Edge 70—and everything points to the Pro following the same naming strategy. That is, in China it would be presented as the Moto X70 Air Pro, while in markets like Spain or the rest of Europe it could arrive under the name Moto X70 Air Pro. Motorola Pro Edge 70, keeping virtually the same hardware.
What is the Moto X70 Air Pro and how does it compare?
Motorola has officially confirmed the existence of the Moto X70 Air Pro through various teasers published in China. Therefore, we are not dealing with a simple, isolated leak, but with a launch that the brand itself is already hyping, with messages insisting that it will be a "more Pro" model and with more AI features than the original device.
The base on which this terminal is built is the current Moto X70 Air, known in Europe as the Edge 70, a mobile phone from mid-high range It has carved out a niche for itself thanks to its combination of minimal thickness, a very bright screen, and a 50-megapixel triple camera. The new Pro arrives to reinforce that position with more powerful performance, improved fast charging, and advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.
In this context, the Moto X70 Air Pro stands out as a different alternative compared to other ultra-thin phones like the iPhone Air or the Galaxy S25 Edge, which have garnered more attention for their extreme design than for their sales. Motorola, on the other hand, tries to ensure that style doesn't clash with competitive technical specifications, especially for the European market.
According to various records and leaks, the device would be classified as a smartphone of ultra-thin profile, without exceeding 6 mm in thickness, thus maintaining the hallmark of the Air family but reinforcing what had been somewhat lacking in the standard model: processor power and charging speed.
Design and display: a profile below 6 mm
The main feature of this family is its ultra-thin chassis. The Moto X70 Air is only about 5,9 mm of thicknessAnd sources closely following the project indicate that the Moto X70 Air Pro will maintain that figure or even slightly reduce it. We are therefore talking about one of the thinnest phones on the market, even when compared to high-end models from Apple or Samsung.
The minimalist design of the standard X70 Air has garnered attention for combining such a slim body with a relatively generous battery, and all indications are that Motorola will repeat this formula in the Pro. The brand wants the device to be perceived as both design object as a technological tool, something that is noticeable in the finishes and in the choice of filtered colors, such as dark tones like Carbon or olive green variants (Martini Olive), aimed at a user profile that seeks an elegant terminal without stridency.
Regarding the screen, reports agree that we will see a panel again. 6,7 inch OLEDwith 1,5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It would be a direct evolution of the X70 Air, whose P-OLED screen offers HDR brightness reaching 4.500 nits, well above the norm in its price range, making it easy to see in bright daylight.
With this data in hand, the Moto X70 Air Pro would be among the best panels in its category, combining high luminosityGood sharpness and fluidity in animations and movements, important elements for those who consume a lot of multimedia content or frequently play on their mobile phones.
Processor, memory, and raw power
One of the areas where the most changes are expected compared to the current model is in performance. The Moto X70 Air uses a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, but leaks suggest that the Moto X70 Air Pro It would move up a notch. The most frequently mentioned option in certification lists and specialized media is the Snapdragon 7+ Gen5, a Qualcomm chip that brings the performance of the mid-to-high range closer to what last year's flagship phones offered.
Meanwhile, other reports suggest that Motorola might opt ​​for a higher-end processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen5This follows a similar strategy to that of the Motorola Signature or Edge 70 Ultra. The latter has also been associated with the premium segment, with a very strong focus on artificial intelligence, which would fit with the "more AI" message that the company is using to promote the X70 Air Pro.
To reconcile both pieces of information, several scenarios are being considered: from different configurations per market to internal variations within the Pro range itself. In any case, the various reports agree that the device would be accompanied by configurations of up to 16 GB of RAMdesigned for intensive multitasking, demanding games, and advanced AI features without lag.
This combination of a modern processor, ample memory, and Dedicated NPU (a dedicated AI unit) would make the Moto X70 Air Pro a more than capable phone for those who need more than just a basic, slim device. The idea is to offer solid performance without sacrificing the ultra-thin form factor that characterizes this series.
Battery and 90W fast charging
Another major change compared to the standard Moto X70 Air concerns battery life and charging speed. The original model has a 4.800 mAh battery with 67W fast charging, impressive figures considering its thickness. For the Moto X70 Air Pro, various Chinese databases and certification listings point to a jump to... 90W wired charging.
Specifically, a device linked to the Moto X70 Air Pro with model number [model number missing] has been identified. XT2603-1 (in some sources it appears as XT2601-3), where the presence of this 90W fast charging is confirmed. This increase represents a notable advance and puts it on par with many high-end models that prioritize express charging to minimize plugged-in time.
Regarding battery capacity, leaks suggest a figure that could far exceed the 4.800 mAh of the X70 Air, with some reports even speculating about more than 5.000 mAh. If confirmed, it would be particularly striking to see a battery of that size in a body that aims to stay under 6 mm thick.
The combination of a generous battery and 90W fast charging is designed for a user profile that makes a intensive use of mobile phones throughout the day, but don't want to be constantly worried about the charger. Being able to recover a good portion of the battery in just a few minutes can make all the difference compared to other ultra-thin phones, where design is sometimes prioritized so much that battery life is sacrificed.
Artificial intelligence and user experience
If there's one message that Motorola is repeating in all the previews, it's that... AI as a central axis of the Moto X70 Air Pro. The company speaks of "more Pro" not only because of the hardware power, but also because of the new intelligent features that will come with this model, supported by a more capable NPU and the operating system itself.
Among the possibilities being considered are the typical ones real-time performance optimizationsAutomatic power consumption adjustments and tools to enhance photography and video using advanced algorithms. The goal is for the phone to learn from the user's usage habits and adapt both performance and suggestions and shortcuts to offer a more personalized experience.
In terms of photography, the standard Moto X70 Air serves as a benchmark. That model already incorporates a 50-megapixel triple camera systemWith a main sensor, an ultra-wide-angle sensor, and possibly a third module dedicated to telephoto or depth sensing, everything indicates that the Moto X70 Air Pro will maintain this approach, with AI-powered image processing improvements for better results in various lighting conditions.
Software will also play a key role. The Moto X70 Air Pro will come with Android 16 It comes standard with the latest privacy, security, and personalization features, providing immediate access to them. Integration with Motorola's own productivity and content management tools should round out a package designed for those who want a slim phone without sacrificing modern functionality.
Relationship with other Motorola models and market strategy
The Moto X70 Air Pro doesn't arrive alone; it's part of a broader Motorola strategy to strengthen its mid-to-high-end and premium lineup. In parallel, the company is working on the Motorola Signature, also known as Edge 70 Ultra in certain markets, which will feature a Snapdragon 8 series processor and specifications one step above.
Leaks suggest that the Signature will be presented in India and other countries as an option more focused on the classic premium segment, while the The X70 Air Pro would focus on the concept of ultra-thinness with great power and AI. In China, the brand seems willing to reinforce this duality: on the one hand, a very thin model with good performance (X70 Air Pro) and, on the other, a more traditionally designed terminal but with top-of-the-range specifications (Signature/Edge 70 Ultra).
In Europe, where the Moto X70 Air is marketed as the Motorola Edge 70, it costs around 799 EurosIt is most likely that the X70 Air Pro will adopt the name Edge 70 Pro. This way, Motorola would maintain a consistent naming convention with previous generations and make it easier for European users to identify the range within its catalog.
The brand is also strengthening its presence in other segments, with foldable devices like the Razr 50 Ultra or more conventional mid-range models. However, the Air family It positions itself as a kind of technological showcase where very thin chassis and high-brightness screens are experimented with, now reinforced with this Pro variant that seeks to improve the shortcomings detected in the first generation.
Launch date, availability, and what to expect in Europe
Regarding dates, the various sources agree that the The Moto X70 Air Pro will debut first in ChinaOfficial teasers are already circulating on social media in the country, indicating that the announcement shouldn't be too far off. A launch window of early January is being considered, coinciding with other major announcements in the sector.
For Europe, the release schedule will depend on Motorola's naming strategy and how they plan to organize their Edge lineup. Since this is the Pro version of the current Edge 70, it seems likely that the manufacturer will eventually bring it to the European market as the Edge 70. Motorola Pro Edge 70, presumably a few weeks or months after its presentation in China.
No prices have been announced, but it's reasonable to expect the Pro to cost slightly more than the X70 Air/Edge 70, which is around €799 in Europe. The increased power, the new 90W charging, and the AI ​​improvements could justify a higher price. higher rateprovided Motorola manages to maintain a balance between extreme design and attractive specifications.
The Moto X70 Air Pro arrives in a market where ultra-thin phones remain a niche product. Despite this, the combination of minimal thickness, a good screen, fast charging, and solid performance may prove appealing to those looking for a different phone without sacrificing too much in day-to-day use. If the predictions are correct and the model arrives in Europe as the Edge 70 Pro, it will be one of the launches to watch closely in the upper mid-range with premium aspirations.
