Motorola’s next premium phone looks set to do something a lot of Android flagships still refuse to: make magnetic wireless charging work properly without a case. The Edge 70 Max has turned up in the Wireless Power Consortium database, and the listing points to Qi 2.2.1 support, the MPP25 power profile, and built-in magnets – a tidy combo that should make the phone easier to charge and easier to accessorize.
That means the Motorola Edge 70 Max should support up to 25W wireless charging with built-in magnets out of the box. Android has spent years half-committing to magnetic charging, usually stopping at basic Qi2 support while leaving the magnets to accessory makers and case manufacturers. Motorola is now joining a very small club of phones that promise the full experience without extra accessories.
Qi 2.2.1 certification points to 25W wireless charging
The certification confirms support for the MPP25 power profile, which means the Edge 70 Max should be capable of up to 25W wireless charging. That puts it in the newer Qi2 tier rather than the older, slower implementations many phones still ship with, and it nudges Motorola closer to the MagSafe-style experience Apple users have had for years.
Just as important, the WPC listing includes Magnetic Power Profile certification. In plain English: the magnets are built into the phone itself. No special magnetic case. No awkward add-on ring. No pretending that ”almost works” is the same as ”works.”
Edge 70 Max specs point to a conventional flagship
Beyond charging, the rumored hardware reads like a typical top-end Motorola package. The Edge 70 Max is expected to use a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, a 50MP Sony LYT-710 main camera sensor with a 1/1.56-inch size, and a flat display design. Reported color options include green, light blue, and black.
- Wireless charging: up to 25W
- Wireless standard: Qi 2.2.1
- Magnetic support: built-in magnets with MPP certification
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5
- Main camera: 50MP Sony LYT-710, 1/1.56-inch
If Motorola follows through, the Edge 70 Max could end up winning on the one thing many premium Android phones still treat as optional: convenience. Samsung is also rumored to be moving toward native magnets with the Galaxy S27 Ultra, so this may be the start of a broader catch-up rather than a one-off feature flex. The certification is usually the sort of breadcrumb that appears shortly before launch, so this phone may not stay ”upcoming” for long.
