Featuring optical image stabilisation (OIS), 10x Super Zoom and 4K video recording, it is designed to capture sharp detail, natural colour and exceptional clarity.

A dedicated macro camera allows users to get closer to the smallest details, while a 32MP front camera5  uses AI powered optimisation that helps skin tone and expression look exactly as intended. Rotating the phone from portrait to landscape orientation, it automatically switches to group mode for a larger field of view and stress-free selfies, while 4K videos with Adaptive Stabilisation helps capture bold colours and beautiful clarity.

The motorola edge 70 plus is equally distinctive in its design. Its sophisticated and unmistakably premium quad‑curved design flows seamlessly from front to back, smoothing away sharp edges to create a refined, comfortable feel in hand during streaming, scrolling, and long gaming sessions.
