Motorola is days away from dropping what might be its most complete mid-range phone yet. The Moto Edge 70 Pro Plus goes official in India on June 4, 2026, and between the officially confirmed specs and the teasers Motorola has been putting out all week, there is very little left to the imagination. Here is a full breakdown of what to expect.

Launch Date and Where to Buy
The Motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus will be available for purchase on June 4 via Motorola’s official website (motorola.in), Flipkart, and leading retail stores. Pricing will be announced at launch, but industry estimates place it in the Rs 47,999 to Rs 56,999 range depending on storage configuration.
If you want the already-available Motorola Edge 70 Pro (the non-periscope sibling that launched at Rs 38,999), it is live right now: Buy Motorola Edge 70 Pro on Amazon.in
The Display: Big, Bright, and Curved
The Edge 70 Pro Plus carries a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 5,200 nits with HDR10+ and Pantone-certified 10-bit colour. That quad-curved panel design means minimal bezels on all four sides. At that brightness level, outdoor visibility should be a non-issue even in harsh Indian summer sunlight.
The in-display fingerprint scanner is confirmed too.
Processor and Memory
Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme chipset paired with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB UFS 4.1 storage. The phone runs Android 16 and is promised to receive up to three years of OS upgrades alongside five years of security updates.
UFS 4.1 is a meaningful step up from what most phones at this price offer. App launches, file transfers, and storage-heavy tasks should feel notably faster because of it.
Camera System: Three 50MP Sensors
This is where the Pro Plus separates itself from the standard Edge 70 Pro.
The camera setup includes a 50MP wide Sony Lytia 710 sensor, a 50MP ultrawide with autofocus, and a 50MP periscope telephoto with OIS and 3.5x optical zoom. The selfie camera is also 50MP.
The 50MP periscope lens would be the biggest upgrade over the Edge 70 Pro, which is missing this lens entirely, giving the Pro Plus a clear advantage in zoom photography. For wildlife, sporting events, or distant portraits, that 3.5x optical zoom backed by 50x AI Super Zoom Pro is a genuinely useful addition at this price bracket.
Video recording goes up to 4K HDR10+ at 60fps, while slow-motion recording supports up to 4K at 120fps.
Battery and Charging
No compromises here. The Motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus packs a 6,500mAh silicon-carbon battery with 90W TurboPower wired charging, 15W wireless charging, 10W wireless reverse charging, and 5W wired reverse charging.
A 6,500mAh cell with 90W charging means you get through a full day easily and top up fast when needed. The wireless charging support is a step above the standard Edge 70 Pro, which skipped it entirely.
Design and Build Quality
Three Pantone-curated colour options are confirmed:
| Colour Name | Finish Type |
|---|---|
| PANTONE Zinfandel | Satin-Luxe (deep maroon) |
| PANTONE Stormy Sea | Twill-inspired (blue) |
| PANTONE Chicory Coffee | Sculpted wood-grain (gold) |
Despite the large battery, the phone measures just 7.19mm to 7.34mm in thickness and weighs 190 grams. That is impressively slim for a phone with a periscope lens module inside.
The phone carries both IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, along with MIL-STD 810H certification. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protects the front.
Connectivity
Connectivity covers 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and GPS. Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos round out the package.

Should You Wait for the Edge 70 Pro Plus?
If the periscope telephoto camera and wireless charging matter to you, yes, wait. Those are the two headline additions over the already-excellent Edge 70 Pro. The Edge 70 Pro sits at Rs 38,999 on Amazon today and is a solid phone, but it misses both these features.
For a user who shoots a lot of photos, wants a versatile zoom range, and values the convenience of wireless charging, the Pro Plus looks like the more complete package. Whether the price premium over the Pro justifies it will become clear on June 4.
