Frequently asked
How thin is the Motorola Edge 70?
Just 5.99mm thick and about 159g, making it one of the thinnest and lightest mainstream phones available, yet it still keeps IP68/IP69 water resistance.
What chipset does the Edge 70 use?
A Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 with 12GB of RAM. It's a strong upper-mid-range chip — smooth for daily use, though not as fast as flagship 8-series silicon.
How long will the Razr 2026 get updates?
Motorola promises three major Android OS upgrades and four years of security patches from its May 2026 launch, so support runs out around May 2030 — notably shorter than Samsung's foldable commitment.
Razr 2026 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 — which lasts longer?
Samsung backs the Z Flip line with far longer OS and security support than Motorola's 3-year/4-year Razr promise, so buyers prioritizing years of safe ownership should lean Samsung, even though the Razr often undercuts it on price.
