Key Highlights:

• Moto X70 Air Pro teased officially in China
• AI-focused triple rear camera with periscope lens hinted
• 90W fast charging spotted via certification listing
• Likely to launch globally as Motorola Edge 70 Pro

Motorola has officially confirmed that the Moto X70 Air Pro is on the way. The company teased the upcoming smartphone on Weibo, hinting at a more powerful and feature-rich version of its ultra-slim Moto X70 Air. The messaging makes it clear. Motorola wants to push the limits of thin phone design without compromising performance.

The teaser highlights a stronger focus on artificial intelligence and positions the device as a clear upgrade. While the launch date remains undisclosed, reports point towards a January debut in China.

Moto X70 Air Pro focuses heavily on AI upgrades

Motorola describes the Moto X70 Air Pro as “more Pro” and packed with enhanced AI capabilities. The company has also teased an AI-backed triple rear camera system. Notably, one of the lenses is expected to be a periscope telephoto camera. This could mark a significant step up in zoom performance for Motorola’s slim phone lineup.

The inclusion of a periscope lens suggests Motorola is aiming to bring flagship-style photography features into a thinner form factor. More camera details are expected closer to launch.

Fast charging and battery upgrades surface online

Regulatory listings have revealed additional insights into the Moto X70 Air Pro. A device believed to be the phone, with model number XT2603-1, has reportedly appeared on China’s 3C certification database. The listing suggests support for up to 90W wired fast charging.

This would be a clear upgrade over the 67W charging offered on the Moto X70 Air and the Motorola Edge 70. While the battery capacity remains unknown, the faster charging hints at a possible larger battery or improved power management.

Snapdragon chipset tipped, but questions remain

Benchmark listings have previously hinted that the smartphone could be powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 5 chipset. This would place the phone firmly in the upper mid-range segment. However, some leaks also suggest Motorola is developing a higher-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 device.

That premium model could launch separately under the Edge or Signature branding, keeping the Moto X70 Air Pro focused on balance rather than outright flagship performance.

Global launch expected as Edge 70 Pro

Internationally, the phone is expected to debut as the Motorola Edge 70 Pro. Motorola has followed this naming strategy in the past. The original Moto X70 Air launched in October as a slim alternative to ultra-thin rivals, and the Pro variant signals Motorola’s intent to continue refining the formula.

More official details, including pricing and availability, are expected in the coming weeks.
