Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ specifications

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ features a 6.8-inch 1.5K ‘Extreme AMOLED display’ with a 144Hz refresh rate, 5,200 nits peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. The display experience should be vibrant and immersive for both multimedia and gaming. Under the hood of the phone runs the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme chipset paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The Edge 70 Pro uses the same chipset and has proven to offer one of the best performances in the segment. We can expect a similar experience from the Edge 70 Pro+. The phone also gets a 4600mm2 vapour chamber for heat dissipation.

The Edge 70 Pro+ has a 50MP quad-camera setup. This includes a 50MP Sony LYT-710 primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera with autofocus, a 50MP periscope lens offering 3.5x optical zoom, and a 50MP front camera with autofocus support. Motorola is also adding support for AI-powered Super Zoom Pro up to 50x, although the results may not be as detailed. The phone also supports 4K video recording at 60 fps from all lenses, video HDR, auto macro vision, and AI-enhanced low-light imaging support. With this camera setup, the Edge 70 Pro+ will compete with rivals like the Realme 16 Pro+.

The new Motorola handset gets a 6,500mAh battery with support for 90W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. This battery capacity should provide a day’s power comfortably and even more with light usage. The addition of wireless charging gives the phone a slight edge over rivals. On the software front, the Edge 70 Pro+ runs Android 16 out of the box with 3 OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches promised. Motorola phones offer a clean and near-stock Android experience with a bunch of AI features tailored for personal and professional use.

For durability, the Edge 70 Pro+ comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, and MIL-810H military standard. It’s also equipped with Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio, and Spatial Audio for an immersive listening experience.
