Motorola Edge 70 Max Launched in India at Rs 54,999

Motorola has launched the Edge 70 Max in India, starting at Rs 54,999. The phone is designed for gamers and power users, featuring a flat-frame design, a 6.8-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with up to 144Hz refresh rate, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. It packs a large battery with bypass charging and carries an IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance rating.

Times Now News reports the phone scored 3,095,875 in AnTuTu and 2,787 single-core and 9,077 multi-core in Geekbench 6, outperforming the iQOO 15R in benchmarks. However, the review notes that the 144Hz display mostly runs at 120Hz, and outdoor visibility under direct sunlight is only just readable despite a claimed peak brightness of 7,000 nits. The phone weighs 221 grams and has an understated design without gaming aesthetics.

Gadgets 360 confirms the launch of the Moto G Max, a separate model with a 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD screen, Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chip, and a 7,000mAh battery with 30W charging, which went on sale in India last week. The Edge 70 Max competes with the iQOO 15R and OnePlus 15R in the premium segment.
