Moto X70 Air: Motorola Confirms Pricing of Its iPhone Air Rival

Motorola is stepping up its game in the ultra-slim smartphone segment with the all-new Moto X70 Air a sleek and lightweight device designed to take on Apple’s upcoming iPhone Air. The phone has officially gone up for pre-order in China, and global buyers can expect it to arrive soon under a different name the Motorola Edge 70.

Motorola has now confirmed the official prices of the Moto X70 Air in China via the Lenovo Mall listing. The device starts at just CNY 2,599 (approx. $365) for the base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.

If you need more space, the higher variant featuring 12GB RAM and 512GB storage is priced at CNY 2,899 (around $410).

However, as always, international prices will be higher, thanks to regional taxes and import duties.

According to recent leaks, the global Motorola Edge 70 is expected to retail between €700 and €800 in Europe. While that’s almost double the Chinese pricing, Motorola plans to balance it out with launch bonuses worth over €300, which could make the deal more appealing for early buyers.
