Motorola Edge 70 Review: Slim, Stylish, and Surprisingly Robust
Table of Contents
The Motorola Edge 70 is one of the thinnest smartphones currently on the market. But can it deliver beyond the thin exterior and its striking colors? We were able to get our hands on the phone and put it to the test.
At first glance, the Motorola Edge 70 presents itself as a notably slim smartphone with an eye-catching color palette. You won’t find classic black or white here. Instead, there are three variants to choose from: a deep dark green with golden accents (“Bronze Green”), a petrol-colored tone with orange highlights (“Lily Pad”), and a gray-blue model with blue details (“Gadget Grey”). The petrol-colored model, in particular, is likely to appeal to many – our test device, in bronze green, also looks great. Motorola relies on a cooperation with the color specialists from Pantone for the color design and has been bringing trend-conscious designs to the market for years.
Slim Format – Best Without a Case
At just 5.99 millimetres, the Edge 70 is one of the thinnest smartphones currently available.In addition to the slim housing, the low weight of just 159 grams is another notable feature. In times when many devices exceed the 200 gram mark, this is a noticeable relief in everyday life.
The device really comes into its own when it is indeed used without a case. The textured metal frame and the back in a nylon look ensure an excellent feel – better then with most protective covers. If you still don’t want to do without a case, a high-quality obvious model is included in the scope of delivery.
Surprisingly Robust Despite its Slim Design
Despite its delicate design,the Motorola Edge 70 is surprisingly robust. The built-in Gorilla Glass 7 protects the display, and the device has not only been certified to IP69 against dust and water, but also tested to military standards with higher load limits.
The smartphone is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, heavy rain, sand, and even submersion. We were able to experience this for ourselves at the launch event: The Edge 70 was tested in a cold chamber and an infrared sauna, immersed in sand and water, and even frozen in a block of ice for a week.
