Motorola has launched the Edge 70 Max, its latest flagship phone that’s designed for power intensive tasks like streaming video and mobile gaming. Alongside having a huge battery and rapid wired charging support, the Motorola Edge 70 Max is the first Android phone to support full 25W wireless Qi2 charging since Google launched the Pixel 10 Pro XL last year.
Other Qi2-supported Android models, including the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, and the HMD Skyline are capped at 15W for magnetic wireless charging. The Edge 70 Max also has a larger 7100mAh silicon-carbon battery compared to 5200mAh on the Pixel 10 Pro XL, promising “all-day battery life,” though Motorola doesn’t give any detailed estimates. Over a wired connection, the phone supports 90W charging that can provide up to 12 hours of power in just eight minutes.
For other specifications, it comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, 8GB of memory, and up to 1TB of storage. The 6.82-inch OLED display can reach up to 7,000 nits of peak brightness, according to Motorola, and features a 144Hz refresh rate for a smoother gaming experience. There are two cameras on the rear — a 50 megapixel Sony Lytia 710 sensor for everyday snaps, and an 8 megapixel ultrawide — with a 32 megapixel selfie camera on the front of the device.
The Motorola Edge 70 Max is rolling out in the UK and Europe starting today, with prices starting from £699.99/€799.99 (under $950). There’s no mention of US availability.
