After Presentation of X70 Air in October 2025 (affordable ultra-thin smartphone), a smartphone brand owned by Lenovo. Motorola is preparing to launch its successor X70 Air Pro in the Chinese market soon (via official Weibo mail).
The brand officially announced the phone, revealing that Motorola's next ultra-thin smartphone could get an incredible camera upgrade that could make the iPhone Air look outdated.
Ultra-thin smartphone with professional-grade cameras
As seen in the latest Moto X70 Air Pro teaser, the phone may have a triple rear camera setup, which will not only outperform the regular version but also iPhone Air for $999. In other words, the upcoming thin Moto phone will offer such a compelling hardware advantage that it will leave little room for comparison with Apple's flagship with a single camera on the back.
For those catching up, the Moto X70 Air features a dual camera setup on the back that includes two 50MP sensors (main/wide with OIS and ultra-wide with PDAF). Although nothing is known about its exact characteristics, the third camera will be equipped with a special periscopic zoom lens.
While the company hasn't mentioned anything about the exact camera configurations, the third camera could have a slightly lower resolution than the existing ones (perhaps 12 or 10 MP). But even so, it will be the first thin smartphone with a triple camera, which will put it in a league of its own (due to lack of competition).
The teaser also mentions “AI” as one of the keywords, suggesting that the company may equip the smartphone with numerous Artificial Intelligence Features.
The long-awaited successor to the X70 Air does not yet have a launch date, but it could debut in January 2026. In the Chinese market it will be available as the X70 Air Pro, but globally it should be sold as the “Edge 70 Pro” (since The X70 Air debuted as the Edge 70 in markets like Europe. and India).
If you've been holding off on the ultra-thin smartphone segment due to the lack of camera versatility, the X70 Air Pro or Edge 70 Pro solves that problem (assuming Moto releases the phone in the United States, which it should).
