Motorola's Edge 70 Max Packs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and 25W Magnetic Charging

IT-NEWS — Motorola has officially listed the Edge 70 Max on Indian e-commerce platform Flipkart, confirming the phone will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and support 25W magnetic wireless charging.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is built on a 3nm process. Paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 5,500 mm² vapor chamber cooling system, the phone cleared 3 million points on Antutu. That puts it firmly in flagship territory alongside the usual contenders from Samsung and Xiaomi.

The display is a QHD+ LTPO panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 7,000 nits — genuinely bright even for outdoor use under direct sunlight. It covers the DCI-P3 color gamut at 10-bit depth, and the glass is Gorilla Glass 7i. Motorola claims a 95.12 percent screen-to-body ratio.

Battery life is where things get interesting. The Edge 70 Max carries a 7,100mAh cell (bigger than what most flagships offer this year) and supports 90W wired charging. More notably, it also supports 25W magnetic wireless charging, making it one of the few Android phones outside of Xiaomi’s ecosystem to offer native MagSafe-like convenience.

The phone uses an aluminum mid-frame with a glass back. The camera module borrows its visual language from Lenovo’s Legion Y70 — a clean rectangular bump rather than the oversized circular islands many competitors are running this year.

Motorola hasn’t announced pricing or a release date yet, but with the Flipkart listing live, a formal launch shouldn’t be far behind.
