The announcement was made on Weibo, where Motorola shared a teaser image that highlights the phone’s ultra-thin design. With this move, the brand is clearly setting up the X70 Air as a direct rival to Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge and Apple’s recently introduced iPhone Air, both of which are being marketed for their slim builds.
