Leaked: Moto X70 Air could outshine iPhone Air

Motorola has unveiled a teaser for its upcoming flagship, the Moto X70 Air, positioning it as a direct competitor to Apple’s rumored iPhone Air and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge.

The new device is set to launch at the end of October and is being billed as “as light as Air, even lighter and more AI.”

Motorola confirmed the Moto X70 Air will be revealed by late October through a post on Weibo. A teaser image shows the phone’s slim body and bold design, featuring a striking green frame with orange camera accents.

The marketing message suggests that the device will combine ultra-thin construction with AI-driven features, continuing Motorola’s recent focus on intelligent, user-friendly experiences.

The Moto X70 Air is expected to be one of Motorola’s thinnest phones yet, with a design that emphasizes both elegance and performance. Reports indicate it will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC, putting it at the top of Motorola’s smartphone lineup.

This aligns with Motorola’s recent flagship efforts, such as the Razr 60 Ultra and Edge 60, both of which highlighted AI-powered software features.

Industry analysts are already viewing the Moto X70 Air as Motorola’s answer to the upcoming iPhone Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Both competitors are reportedly working on ultra-thin designs, signaling a broader industry trend toward lightweight flagship devices.

Motorola’s bold design choices and AI positioning suggest it is aiming to capture a slice of this premium market segment.
