Why This Happens

Understanding the root cause helps you fix it faster. Here are the most common causes:

📱

Extreme Thickness Reduction

Edge 70 measures under 6mm, forcing engineers to remove or shrink components

🔋

Battery Compromise Paradox

Despite 4800mAh capacity, thin design limits charging speed and thermal management

📷

Camera Hardware Limitations

Sensor size and stabilization systems reduced to fit slim profile

🔌

Port and Connectivity Sacrifices

Headphone jack removed, USB-C port recessed, speaker chambers minimized

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the thin design affect call quality?

Yes - the ultra-thin design reduces speaker chamber size, affecting call clarity in noisy environments. Use headphones for important calls.

Is wireless charging possible on such a thin phone?

No - Edge 70 skips wireless charging to maintain thickness. The battery protection needed would add 0.5mm minimum.

How fragile is the Edge 70 compared to regular phones?

30% more bendable than standard phones due to reduced internal support structure. Handle with extra care.

Can I use regular USB-C headphones?

Yes, but the recessed port may cause connectivity issues with some adapters. Test compatibility before buying.
