Motorola has unveiled the Moto Pad 70 Pro, a premium Android tablet built around a large 13-inch 3.5K 144Hz display, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, and a 10,200mAh battery. Launching in India from ₹36,999 (around ₱24,000), it slots in as Motorola's most ambitious tablet yet, pairing a bundled stylus with a JBL-tuned quad-speaker setup, according to GSMArena and fonearena.

Key Takeaways

  • 13-inch 3.5K (3504 x 2190) IPS display at 144Hz with Dolby Vision.
  • Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage (microSD expandable).
  • 10,200mAh battery with 45W charging (68W adapter in box).
  • Quad JBL-tuned speakers, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and a bundled Moto Pen Pro stylus.
  • India pricing from ₹36,999 (around ₱24,000); on sale July 4, 2026.

A big, fast screen

The centerpiece is a 13-inch IPS LCD with a sharp 3.5K resolution (3504 x 2190, ~318ppi), a 144Hz refresh rate, 12-bit color depth, up to 800 nits of high-brightness-mode peak brightness, and Dolby Vision support. That combination targets both media consumption and note-taking, and Motorola bundles the Moto Pen Pro stylus in the retail box rather than charging extra for it. At 296.5 x 191.9 x 6.2mm and roughly 598g, it is a slim, large-format slate positioned against mainstream productivity tablets.

Performance, battery, and audio

Inside is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (an octa-core part clocked to 3.21GHz) with the Adreno 825 GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage that can be expanded via microSD. Powering it is a large 10,200mAh battery. There is a discrepancy worth flagging on charging: fonearena notes the tablet supports 45W fast charging in its main coverage while the detailed spec sheet lists a 68W in-box adapter — in practice the tablet draws up to 45W and ships with the higher-rated brick. Audio comes from four JBL-tuned speakers with Dolby Atmos, and Motorola pairs the tablet with a dual-microphone array.

Cameras and connectivity

Imaging is functional rather than a selling point: a single 13MP rear camera with an LED flash and an 8MP front camera for video calls and document scanning. Where the Moto Pad 70 Pro stands out is connectivity — it is among the first tablets in its class to ship with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, alongside a USB-C port with DisplayPort output that lets it drive an external monitor. Motorola sells an optional Snap-On Keyboard that turns it into a laptop-style workstation, though that accessory is priced separately.

Software support

The tablet runs Android 16 out of the box, and Motorola has committed to upgrades through Android 17 and 18 plus security updates until 2030 — a meaningful longevity promise for a device in this price bracket, even if it trails the six-generation policies now common on some rival phones.

Price and availability

Motorola will sell the Moto Pad 70 Pro in India starting July 4, 2026 through its own site, Flipkart, and retail stores. Pricing, per GSMArena and fonearena:

  • 8GB + 128GB: ₹36,999 (around ₱24,000)
  • 8GB + 256GB: ₹39,999 (around ₱26,000)
  • 8GB + 256GB with Snap-On Keyboard: ₹45,999 (around ₱29,900)

ICICI Bank cardholders get an instant ₹4,000 (around ₱2,600) discount, which is why some early coverage — including NoypiGeeks — quoted a ₹32,999 starting figure that reflects the post-discount price rather than the sticker price. As of publication there is no confirmed Philippine release. Shoppers eyeing large Android tablets can compare it against the OnePlus Pad 3 Pro and the HONOR MagicPad 4.
