Motorola has been on a roll in the premium mid-range space, and its latest phone keeps things moving. The company launched the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ in India this week, with a few notable upgrades over the Edge 70 Pro from earlier this year. The changes are not dramatic, but they are the right ones: better wireless charging, a sharper display, and a faster chip. For anyone following the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ Nepal release, here is the full picture.
- Dimensity 8500 Extreme (4nm), 12GB RAM, 256GB storage
- 6.8-inch AMOLED, 144Hz, 5200 nits
- Triple 50MP cameras with 3.5x periscope telephoto
- 6,500mAh battery, 90W wired & 15W wireless charging
Display and Design
Up front is a 6.8-inch Extreme AMOLED panel with Super HD resolution (2772 x 1272 pixels). Peak brightness hits 5,200 nits, HDR10+ is supported, and the display covers the full DCI-P3 color gamut at 10-bit depth. The 144Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling keep things smooth whether you are scrolling through your feed or playing a game.
There is also water-touch technology onboard, so the screen stays usable even with wet hands. SGS certification covers blue light filtering and motion blur reduction, which is a practical addition for heavy users.
The phone weighs 190 grams and holds up against dust and water with IP68 and IP69 ratings, backed by MIL-STD durability certification. Three PANTONE-curated color options are available: Chicory Coffee, Stormy Sea, and Zinfandel. The Slik and Twill finishes come in at 7.19mm thick, while the FSC-certified wood option is slightly thicker at 7.34mm.
Performance
The MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme (4nm) runs the show here. It uses an all-big-core setup, peaks at 3.4GHz, and Motorola says it crosses 2.4 million on AnTuTu. That puts it a step above the Dimensity 8500 Ultra in phones like the POCO X8 Pro and Xiaomi 17T, though real-world differences will vary by workload.
RAM is 12GB LPDDR5X with 256GB UFS 4.1 storage, and Motorola lets you expand RAM virtually beyond that. A 4,600 sq mm vapour chamber handles heat during gaming or extended use.
The phone ships with Android 16 and Motorola’s Hello UI, which stays close to stock. Three major OS upgrades and five years of security patches are promised, which is good news for anyone planning to hold onto the device for a while.
Camera
Three 50MP cameras sit on the back, and each one has a clear purpose. The main shooter uses Sony’s LYT-710 sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS. The periscope telephoto offers 3.5x optical zoom, 50x digital zoom, and its own OIS, so zoom shots stay sharp rather than just usable. The third lens is a 50MP ultrawide at f/2.2 with a 112-degree field of view.
Video goes up to 4K at 60fps from both the main and telephoto cameras, with the primary lens also supporting 4K at 120fps. On the front, there is a 50MP f/1.9 selfie camera with autofocus, which should handle video calls and portraits without much fuss.

Battery and Connectivity
The 6,500mAh silicon-carbon battery is one of the bigger draws here. Motorola says it lasts well beyond a day on regular use, and with a cell that size, that tracks. Charging options cover 90W wired TurboPower, 15W wireless, 10W reverse wireless, and 5W reverse wired. That wireless charging addition is something the Edge 70 Pro lacked, so this one closes that gap cleanly.
On the connectivity side, you get Wi-Fi 7 (tri-band), Bluetooth 5.4, 5G, NFC, and USB-C. Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res wireless audio are also on the list. Security is handled by an under-display optical fingerprint sensor, face unlock, and Motorola’s ThinkShield platform.
