Slim, good looks and brains? The Motorola Edge 70 ticks all the right boxes after a month-long review period.
PROS
Wireless charging with case; Thin - only 5.9 mm!; solid specs all around
CONS
No eSim; AI button slow; taking it in and out of hard case feels like it might fracture the thin screen
VERDICT
Overall, there is not a lot to fault the Edge 70 on, with about the only omission being a lack of eSim. It’s also not a bulletproof as Honor’s X9c or offers that massive 6600 mAh battery. However, if a lightweight and (very) slim phone, with a unique PANTONE coloured look alongside solid performance from all the key areas, is what you are looking for, then the R9 999 Motorola Edge 70 is certainly it.
