Motorola is back at it again with another Edge 70 Pro launch. And you’ve already seen this phone before. The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ officially launched in India today, and it’s essentially the global Edge 70 Pro with a new badge slapped on it for the Indian market. Same specs, same design, just a different name.
Let’s get into what you’re actually getting. The Edge 70 Pro+ runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 Extreme chipset, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.1 storage. On the front, you get a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 5,200 nits. HDR10+ is on board too, which is great for streaming. The in-display fingerprint scanner rounds out the front. And it ships with Android 16 out of the box, with three years of OS upgrades and five years of security patches. That’s a decent commitment from Motorola, but it’s still not catching up to Samsung or Google on the software update front.
The camera setup is where things get interesting
Motorola is going all-in on 50MP sensors here. You get a 50MP Sony Lytia 710 primary with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide with autofocus, and a 50MP periscope telephoto with OIS and 3.5x optical zoom. That last one is the big ad over the Indian Edge 70 Pro, which skipped the telephoto entirely. And honestly? That’s the right call. A periscope at this price tier is a legit win.
Battery life should be solid too, thanks to a 6,500mAh silicon-carbon cell with 90W wired charging and 15W wireless. The reverse wireless tops out at 10W. Motorola also threw in IP68/IP69 ratings, MIL-STD 810H certification, and dual speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos.
Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. The usual array of stuff for 2026 phones.
The real question is whether anyone in India needed two near-identical Motorola Edge phones launching this close together. Probably not. But if you skipped the original Edge 70 Pro because it didn’t have a telephoto or wireless charging, the Pro+ fixes both. Let’s be real, that’s the whole reason this phone exists.
