It's safe to say that the slim phone has not captured the smartphone-buying public in the way that phone makers might have hoped. The iPhone Air, despite being a brand new, attractive and surprisingly tough handset, has barely made a dent in the sales of new iPhones. And the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which launched earlier, and offers an extra camera and a more reasonable battery capacity, has seemingly performed so poorly that Samsung has given up on making new models.
As much as I've enjoyed trying them, I've always returned to the full-size version of these phones in my pockets. But recently I've been trying the Motorola Edge 70, a slim phone that launched at the tail end of last year. And it's perhaps the best attempt yet by any manufacturer at making a slim phone.
