TL;DR Motorola has begun teasing a new flagship Android phone called the “Moto X70 Air,” with a full reveal coming later in October.
Like the Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone Air, the main draw to the Moto X70 Air will be its ultra-thin design.
Currently, we expect the X70 Air to be released exclusively in China, although a global launch may occur at a later date.
Thin smartphones are all the rage this year. After Samsung kickstarted the trend earlier this year, and Apple just brought it back into the spotlight, it appears that Motorola is the next company to throw its hat into the thin phone ring.
The official Motorola account on Weibo recently published a teaser image for the Moto X70 Air, and it takes just one look to see that this is a phone designed to compete with the Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone Air. Not only does the Moto X70 Air name give it away, but the image of the phone shows someone holding a handset that looks every bit as thin as Samsung and Apple’s recent launches.
It’s impossible to say exactly how thin the Moto X70 Air is, but it likely falls in the same 5.8-5.6mm range as the Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone Air. We can tell from the teaser that at least one color option for the Moto X70 Air features a matte green paint job with orange-accented camera rings.

Motorola doesn’t mention any specifications for the phone, although there is a good possibility that it’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Qualcomm mentioned Motorola as a launch partner for its latest Snapdragon chip, and it’s not a stretch to imagine the X70 Air would be the type of phone to get flagship silicon.
