Edge 70 at a glance
8/10GetLow rating
Our take, in a number
Provisional · Specification-based
The 159g, 6mm body combines a large OLED display with unusually low weight. The lack of a dedicated telephoto in the listed camera pair is a meaningful compromise if photography flexibility matters more than thinness.
Why this rating?
GetLow editorial assessment, . We weigh the published features, practical compromises, intended buyer and value proposition described in this guide. This is a qualitative judgement, not a calculated benchmark or customer average.
9–10: exceptional on paper; 8–8.5: a strong shortlist choice; 7–7.5: good for the right buyer; 5–6.5: substantial compromises; 1–4.5: difficult to recommend.
We have not hands-on tested this phone. Real-world speed, photo quality and battery endurance are not proven by this score. Basic and accessibility phones are judged for their intended use, not as flagship substitutes. For refurbished phones, the score describes the model, not the condition or battery of an individual unit. A score is not a rating of every contract: compare the current total cost separately.
Start with the size, camera and storage you need. The lowest monthly price alone does not tell you whether this is the right phone.
What to weigh up
Check the exact storage, colour and condition on the retailer page. Refurbished grades, battery policies and warranties vary.
Worth the upgrade?
Compare it with the phone you already own. Pay for a useful improvement, not just a newer model name.
About this guide: GetLow explains published specifications and compares UK contract listings. It is not a hands-on laboratory test. Battery and charging figures depend on the manufacturer's test conditions; everyday results vary.
Is the Edge 70 worth buying?
An impossibly slim 6mm flagship-lite with three 50MP cameras and proper IP69 toughness.
The Edge 70 is one of the thinnest, lightest phones of 2026 at just 6mm and 159g, yet packs a full 50MP camera trio and a bright 120Hz P-OLED.

Build your own phone comparison
Select any three phones and compare them side by side
The Motorola Edge 70 is selected first. Change any selector to compare it with two other current phones from Motorola, or with the wider market when fewer than three Motorola models are available.
Every price card keeps monthly cost, upfront payment, total cost, data, contract length and condition attached to the same live listing. The specification table then shows the hardware differences that may justify paying more.
The thinnest phone you'll hold this year
At 159.9 x 74 x 6mm and 159g the Edge 70 is astonishingly slim and light. It genuinely disappears in a pocket, and the flat-ish frame with curved glass feels far pricier than it is. IP68/IP69 protection means dust, immersion and even pressure-washing are no problem.
The 6.7-inch P-OLED runs at 120Hz with a sharp 1220 x 2712 resolution. It is bright, colourful and smooth, and Motorola's near-stock Android 16 keeps it fast and clutter-free.
Three 50MP cameras, sensible power
Motorola gives you a genuinely useful camera set: a 50MP main, a 50MP ultrawide and a 50MP selfie camera, so quality holds up whether you shoot wide or take a group selfie. There is no dedicated zoom lens, which is the main photographic compromise.
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 with up to 12GB of RAM is quick for everyday apps and light gaming. The 4800mAh battery is average for the class rather than huge, but 68W wired and 15W wireless charging mean top-ups are fast.
Who should buy it on contract?
The Edge 70 is for anyone who wants a slim, light, good-looking phone with a clean camera set and doesn't need a telephoto or flagship chip. On a UK contract it is a stylish value pick; sort by total cost and match it to your data.
New and refurbished buying checks
Protect the saving before you order
Every current offer is listed as new. A low price is only good value when the condition, storage, warranty, returns terms and battery policy suit what you expect to receive.
Use total contract cost after any stated code as the first comparison, then check data and storage on the same basis. Availability can change as retailers update stock.
Confirm whether the selected listing is new or refurbished.
Check the exact storage and colour before leaving GetLow.
Read the warranty, returns and refurbished battery terms.
Compare the total contract cost rather than monthly price alone.

Just 6mm thick and 159g, making it one of the slimmest and lightest phones of 2026. It feels noticeably lighter than most rivals in the hand.
Is the Edge 70 waterproof?
Yes, it carries both IP68 and IP69 ratings, so it survives immersion and high-pressure water jets — unusually tough for such a slim phone.
Does the Edge 70 have a zoom camera?
No dedicated telephoto. It uses a 50MP main and 50MP ultrawide, so zoom is digital only, but both sensors are high quality.
How is the battery life?
The 4800mAh battery comfortably lasts a day, and 68W wired plus 15W wireless charging make refills quick when needed.
Does it run clean Android?
Yes, Motorola ships near-stock Android 16 with minimal bloat, which keeps the phone fast and easy to use.
The verdict
The Edge 70 nails a specific brief: a beautifully slim, light phone with a clean triple 50MP camera set, a bright 120Hz screen and real waterproofing. You give up optical zoom and a giant battery, but few phones feel this good to hold. Compare it on GetLow by total contract cost.
