Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ India Price Leaked Before Launch: Can It Challenge OnePlus, POCO Rivals?

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ is all set to launch in India on June 4. Ahead of that, the price of the Edge 70 Pro+ has already appeared online, suggesting that it will be positioned as a mid-premium smartphone and compete with several other devices priced under Rs 50,000. Let us take a look at the key details of the upcoming Edge 70 Pro+.

Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ Price in India (Tipped)

According to tipster Sanju Choudhary, the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ will cost Rs 47,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model, around Rs 6,000 more than the Motorola Edge 70 Pro with the same storage variant.

At this price point, the Motorola device will likely go head-to-head with phones like the POCO X8 Pro Max and OnePlus Nord 6, which are priced at Rs 44,999 and Rs 47,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant.

Is the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ Price Justified?

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ is an upcoming smartphone and is confirmed to be powered by the Dimensity 8500 Extreme, which is touted as a capable premium mid-range chipset offering enhanced gaming, multitasking, and advanced Moto AI capabilities. Paired with up to 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, it promises smooth operation even during intensive use.

However, the POCO X8 Pro Max comes equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500s chipset. It is a 3nm flagship-grade mid-range chipset that delivers strong performance, great efficiency, and solid gaming capabilities, making it one of the best in the Rs 45,000 segment.

Meanwhile, there's a triple 50MP rear camera setup, which also includes a 50MP 3.5x OIS periscope telephoto lens that is claimed to deliver true optical zoom with excellent detail retention, minimal quality loss up to 3.5x, and usable digital zoom up to 30-50x with AI enhancement. It also enables more natural portrait shots with better subject separation and pleasing bokeh compared to competitors that rely on digital cropping or basic 2x telephoto lenses.

This is a standout feature at this price, as very few phones, such as the Nothing Phone 4a Pro and Motorola Edge 60 Pro, under Rs 50,000 offer a dedicated 3.5x periscope telephoto lens. It gives the Edge 70 Pro+ a significant edge in zoom photography and portrait shots compared to rivals that depend on digital zoom or basic 2x lenses.

The smartphone will ship with Android 16-based Hello UI, offering minimal bloatware and a smooth, responsive interface, which attracts a lot of users. It will include several features such as Moto AI capabilities with tools like AI Key for quick actions, Image Studio, Live Transcription, summarisation, smart gesture features, and more.

Meanwhile, the software also offers clean customisation and fast updates for security patches, along with up to 3 major OS upgrades -- bringing it up to Android 19 -- and 5 years of security patches. But the POCO X8 Pro and OnePlus Nord 6 offers 4 OS upgrades and 6 years of security update.

Notably, these combinations make the upcoming Edge 70 Pro+ one of the better software experiences in this price range, especially for those who value stock-like Android over feature-heavy UIs like ColorOS or HyperOS.

In terms of battery and fast charging, the Edge 70 Pro+ houses a 6,500mAh battery with 90W wired charging support. Meanwhile, the POCO X8 Pro Max and OnePlus Nord 6 come with a 9,000mAh battery with 100W and 80W charging speeds, respectively, which are quite remarkable compared to the Motorola device. However, what makes the Edge 70 Pro+ different is that it features 15W wireless charging support, making charging more convenient for users.

The smartphone offers a 6.8-inch Full HD+ AMOLED Curved display, which makes the device look quite attractive. Meanwhile, a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 5,200 nits peak brightness make it appealing for gaming, content consumption, and outdoor use.

• Pros: Periscope camera, wireless charging, near-stock Android experience, Solid durability, and strong display

• Cons: No flagship-grade chipset, and battery capacity

At the tipped price, the yet-to-be-launched Motorola phone appears to offer a balanced package. While rivals may offer larger batteries and more powerful chipsets, the Edge 70 Pro+ could stand out for users prioritising software experience, photography, and premium features over raw performance alone.
