Motorola has officially launched the Edge 70 Fusion in India, introducing what it claims is the world's first 50MP Sony LYTIA 710 camera with optical image stabilisation in the mid-premium smartphone segment. The device is set to go on sale starting March 12, available through Flipkart, Motorola.in, and various retail stores, with prices beginning at Rs 26,999.
Advanced Camera System and Design Features
The headline feature of the Edge 70 Fusion is its 50MP Sony LYTIA 710 primary camera, which boasts an f/1.8 aperture and is enhanced by motoAI processing for real-time improvements in texture, dynamic range, and motion. This camera is Pantone-validated for both colour accuracy and skin tone reproduction, ensuring high-quality imaging. Complementing the main sensor is a 13MP ultrawide camera with a 120-degree field of view and macro support, along with a 32MP front-facing camera. All three lenses support 4K HDR video recording, providing versatile shooting capabilities.
Design-wise, the Edge 70 Fusion comes in three Pantone-curated colours: Blue Surf, Country Air, and Silhouette, featuring a linen-inspired fabric finish and weighing just 193 grams. The phone is built for durability with IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance certifications, as well as MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability standards.
Display, Performance, and Battery Specifications
The device sports a 6.78-inch 1.5K Extreme AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 5200 nits peak brightness, and HDR10+ support, all protected by Gorilla Glass 7i for added resilience. Under the hood, the Edge 70 Fusion is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
