Alright, Moto fans. Looks like the wait is almost over. Motorola has been quietly building hype around its next mid-range heavy-hitter, the Edge 70 Fusion, and the internet is already doing what it does best: digging up every single spec before the official announcement happens. A Flipkart microsite has gone live, Motorola India has been dropping hints on X, and the leaksters have been having a field day. So let's just go through everything we actually know right now.
The Flipkart Microsite Drop That Started It All
A dedicated microsite quietly appeared on Flipkart for an upcoming Motorola smartphone. Motorola hasn't spelled out the name on the page itself, but the teaser design, the colour choices, and the marketing language make it pretty clear that it's the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion. The page even dropped a breadcrumb in the URL: Feb 26. Meanwhile, the microsite itself says more details will follow on February 23, 2026. Put those two together and you're looking at a February 26 launch date, if the URL wasn't just a coincidence.
It wouldn't be the first time a Flipkart URL gave away a launch date before a brand was ready to announce it. Either way, if that date holds, we're just days away from an official unveil.
Those Colours Though 👀
The Flipkart listing confirmed three colour options for the Edge 70 Fusion, and Motorola is going heavy on the Pantone branding here:
- Pantone Blue Surf
- Pantone Country Air
- Pantone Silhouette
Earlier renders floating around also showed Orient Blue and Sporting Green as possible options, so the final lineup might actually be wider than what the teaser is showing. All variants are expected to carry Motorola's signature leather-inspired textured back, which has been a big part of the Edge series identity for a while now. If you've held a phone with this kind of finish before, you know it's genuinely good in the hand. Doesn't slide, doesn't pick up fingerprints, and just feels premium without making a big deal about it.
Design: A Familiar Look With One New Thing
Going by leaked renders shared by Evan Blass on X, the Edge 70 Fusion follows the curved-edge design language of the series, but the camera sensors now sit on a dedicated square camera island at the back. The Edge 60 Fusion had a more blended camera setup that merged with the rear panel. The 70 Fusion is going for a cleaner, more defined look. Whether you prefer one over the other is personal taste, but it does look more intentional.
The front is expected to pack a 6.78-inch quad-curved OLED display running at 144Hz with a reported resolution of 1.5K. That's the kind of screen spec that holds its own against phones a good bit more expensive. A 144Hz quad-curved OLED in the mid-range space is a strong value play, and Motorola seems to know it.
The Spec Sheet (What Leaks Are Saying)
Keep in mind these are still leaked details. Nothing has been officially confirmed by Motorola yet. But here's the picture the leaks are painting:
| Spec | Expected Details |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.78-inch 1.5K quad-curved OLED, 144Hz |
| Chipset | Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 |
| RAM | 8GB / 12GB variants |
| Main Camera | 50MP Sony LYTIA sensor |
| Secondary Camera | 13MP |
| Selfie Camera | 32MP |
| Battery | 7,000 mAh |
| Charging | 68W fast charging |
| OS | Android 16 (out of the box) |
| Durability | IP68 + IP69 + MIL-STD-810H |
Let's talk about that battery for a second. 7,000 mAh on a mid-range phone is genuinely a big number. That's territory usually reserved for phones that are either ridiculously thick or positioned purely as "battery phones." The Edge 70 Fusion seems to be going for both endurance and a premium build, and if the 68W fast charging leak holds true, topping it up won't take forever either.
Sony LYTIA + 32MP Selfie = Motorola Is Serious About Cameras This Time
The Flipkart teaser used the tagline "A lens that captures what others miss" and Motorola India's posts on X have been hinting at photography as a core focus of the device. That lines up with the leak pointing to a 50MP Sony LYTIA primary sensor. Sony's LYTIA sensors have been showing up in some genuinely impressive phones lately, so it's a promising sign for the camera output here.
The 32MP front camera is another number worth noticing, especially at this price point. Most phones in the Rs. 25,000 bracket are still shipping 16MP selfie shooters. If Motorola actually delivers on this, it could be a real differentiator for the Edge 70 Fusion among selfie-focused buyers.
Snapdragon 7s Gen 4: A Step Up From Last Gen
The leaked Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset is an upgrade over what the Edge 60 Fusion was running, and it's a solid mid-range performer. Reports from YTechB, a reliable source for Motorola leaks, shared marketing images pointing to this chip. It handles day-to-day tasks comfortably, gaming on most titles runs fine, and it won't overheat doing basic stuff. It's not going to compete with a Snapdragon 8 series chip, but it's also not priced like one.
The 8GB and 12GB RAM options give buyers a choice, and the 12GB variant should give enough breathing room for people who keep a lot running in the background.
IP68 + IP69 + MIL-STD-810H: This Thing Is Built to Survive
Here's something you don't see every day at this price range. Both IP68 and IP69 ratings, on top of MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability certification. IP68 covers prolonged submersion in water, IP69 covers high-pressure water jets like washing it directly under a tap, and MIL-STD-810H covers drops, shocks, temperature extremes, and humidity. Getting all three on a phone expected to be priced around Rs. 25,000 is genuinely impressive. Motorola has been pushing durability hard across its lineup and the Edge 70 Fusion looks like the best execution of that yet.
Android 16 Right Out of the Box
If the Android 16 leak holds up, the Edge 70 Fusion would ship with the latest version of Android at launch. That matters if you care about software updates and long-term support. Getting Android 16 on day one means you're not starting a year behind like some phones that still ship on Android 14 in 2025. Good sign.
Expected Price: Around Rs. 25,000
Pricing hasn't been officially announced, but multiple sources are pegging the Edge 70 Fusion's India price around the Rs. 24,990 to Rs. 25,000 mark. Smartprix has even listed an expected price of Rs. 24,990. If that's where Motorola lands it, the competition in that bracket, phones like the Nothing Phone (3a), Poco X7 Pro, and the Samsung Galaxy A36, is going to have a tough time arguing against a 7,000 mAh battery, Sony LYTIA camera, and quad-curved OLED display combo.
When Is the Launch?
The Flipkart microsite says more details on February 23. The URL hints at a February 26 launch. If that plays out, we'll have official specs, pricing, and availability within the next few days. The Edge 70 Fusion is basically here at this point. Motorola is just making us wait through the formalities.
Everything above is based on leaks and teasers. Motorola hasn't confirmed the full spec sheet yet, so treat these as "very likely" rather than set in stone until February 23 gives us something official.
Is This Worth Getting Excited About?
Honestly? Yeah. A 7,000 mAh battery, a Sony LYTIA sensor, 144Hz curved OLED, military-grade durability certification, and Android 16 out of the box, all for roughly Rs. 25k. That's a lot of phone for the money if Motorola sticks the landing on the software side and the camera actually delivers. The Edge series has been getting better with every generation and the 70 Fusion looks like it's taking the right lessons from the 60 Fusion and pushing them further.
