Choosing a new smartphone often represents a challenge, requiring careful attention to aspects such as cameras, screen, battery life and processor, in addition, of course, to the device’s design. Motorola, recognized for offering powerful and cost-effective options, presents models that integrate MediaTek Dimensity chips, ideal for the second half of 2026.
The recently launched Motorola Razr 70 and Edge 70 Pro promise high gaming performance, high-quality camera systems and battery life suitable for daily routine. On August 4, 2026, the company highlighted these devices, which feature MediaTek processors from the Dimensity line. They stand out for their energy efficiency, power and an advantageous cost-benefit ratio, enabling advanced features to be present at a competitive price range for the consumer.
Hardware and screen details on new cell phones
When considering the chipset as the brain of a smartphone, we realize that this analogy is not random. It is the processor that determines compatibility with the camera and screen that the manufacturer can integrate into the device, with the choice of platform being the starting point for all development. Furthermore, the chipset directly influences connectivity and battery capacity.
The Motorola Edge 70 Pro and Razr 70 models feature the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme and Dimensity 7450X chips, respectively. Both are manufactured using 4 nanometer technology, which not only contributes to superior performance, but also directly impacts the autonomy of the devices.
In practical terms, the Edge 70 Pro demonstrates greater processing power, with an All Big Core CPU that reaches frequencies of up to 3.4 GHz. This ensures great performance in more demanding games, multitasking and everyday activities. Complemented by 12 GB of RAM and a Mali-G720 MC8 GPU, the device offers a user experience comparable to high-end devices.
The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is crucial to the quality of the gaming experience, not only for its raw performance, but also for its compatibility with modern technologies. This includes Ray Tracing, which provides more realistic graphics, HyperEngine, for performance optimization, and Adaptive Gaming 3.0, which monitors device conditions and status in real time to automatically balance visual quality and performance.
However, it would be a mistake to think that the Razr 70’s Dimensity 7450X is left behind. It is essential for the foldable smartphone to remain longer without recharging, an essential factor for this type of device.
The Edge 70 Pro comes with a 6,500 mAh silicon-carbon battery, while the Razr 70 has a 4,800 mAh one. It is at this point that choosing an efficient processor proves vital for daily use, as it needs to deliver high performance when required and, at the same time, be economical in energy consumption. This way, the autonomy of the cell phones is enough for a full day of use, even away from home.
Both the Edge 70 Pro and the Razr 70 offer 5G connectivity, as a result of the integrated modem, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and an NFC chip for contactless payments.
The devices’ screens measure 6.78 inches (Edge 70 Pro) and 6.9 inches (Razr 70). The Edge 70 Pro has a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz, ideal for gaming enthusiasts. The Razr 70 features a 3.6-inch external panel, which allows for various interactions, such as taking photos or playing games, without the need to open the main device.
MediaTek MiraVision 955 technology guarantees clear images, vivid colors, HDR support and 10-bit depth, enabling the reproduction of more than a billion shades. This quality is confirmed by the Pantone Validated seal on the display.

Artificial intelligence capabilities and advanced software
Artificial intelligence has become an important differentiator in modern smartphones, both in high-end and mid-range models. In this context, a good chipset is crucial, as AI demands a robust NPU (Neural Processing Unit) to process tasks locally. Thanks to Dimensity chips, the Edge 70 Pro and Razr 70 integrate a wide range of AI tools.
Among the available features, the Gemini assistant stands out, always ready to use, a feature to remove unwanted objects from photos, the ability to summarize notifications and messages, and the creation of personalized playlists with artificial intelligence. All of this operates on a system that offers fluid animations and efficient management of background activities.
Additionally, the processor plays a significant role in Motorola’s software policy, allowing the company to secure up to five years of security updates for these devices.
Photographic and video capabilities of devices
In the camera segment, the Edge 70 Pro and Razr 70 models have 50 MP sensors on all of their rear lenses. The camera systems demonstrate remarkable performance, especially that of the Edge 70 Pro, which uses a Sony LYTIA 710 sensor.
Analysis shows that the captured images have a good dynamic range, preserved details and true-to-life colors in various conditions. Even in night photographs, image processing prevents overexposure in points of light and guarantees a sky with adequate tones.
The Edge 70 Pro also stands out for its 3.5x optical zoom, offering versatility for those who need to photograph distant objects with the 50x Super Zoom Pro, or to create portraits with a natural and impressive blur. A crucial point is the support for 4K recording at 60 frames per second, an essential feature for those who produce video content for social networks.
The smartphones have exclusive features developed by Motorola’s Brazilian division in Jaguariúna, such as Guided Photo and Smart Zoom. The Guided Photo function, as the name suggests, helps ensure that group photos taken by third parties are perfectly framed, as it allows you to define the desired composition in advance.
Smart Zoom makes it possible to control the zoom while using the camera on the Razr 70 through gestures, reminiscent of the experience of a professional video camera. Additionally, there are advanced mechanisms for precise noise reduction, face detection and video HDR, with support for Google Ultra HDR to preserve additional light intensity information, ensuring high-quality photos and videos and faithful reproduction.
Style and durability in new models
Before concluding, it is important to mention the design and construction, areas in which Motorola cell phones have been recognized for years for their unique style, Pantone colors and premium finish across all price ranges. The presence of a compact, low operating temperature processor gives product designers greater freedom to create thinner devices and integrate improved cameras and batteries.
Motorola is known for manufacturing robust devices, including foldable models like the Razr 70. This flip cell phone has a reinforced titanium hinge, IP48 certification and an external screen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus glass. The Edge 70 Pro elevates this experience with military-standard construction and certifications up to IP69 for water and dust resistance, plus a Corning Gorilla Glass 7i front panel. The latest model also incorporates wood, acetate and fabric-inspired finishes, providing a truly premium experience both visually and tactilely.
Final evaluation of releases
The new Razr 70 and Edge 70 Pro represent excellent choices for those looking for a complete smartphone with the most advanced features. Both offer good performance, generous RAM and storage capacity, a robust set of cameras, battery life for more than a day of use and an elegant design that stands out in any environment.
