The upcoming Motorola mid-ranger offers triple 50MP cameras including a periscope telephoto, a 6,500mAh battery, 90W wired charging, and Android 16 at launch.
Motorola has done something unusual. Before officially unveiling the Edge 70 Pro+ on June 4, 2026, in India, the brand had published all the specifications, pictures, and other marketing material related to the phone on its website.
It’s all there, before the launch, leaving nothing for the rumor mill to speculate about. And it isn’t accidental, because the landing page hasn’t been taken down. It just says that the product is currently out of stock while revealing everything else. What does the Edge 70 Pro+ offer?
The handset features a 6.8-inch AMOLED panel capable of achieving a peak brightness of 5,200 nits. It also supports up to 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. Leveraging its partnership with Pantone, the company has got the phone certified for Pantone Validated Color and SkinTone.

Out of the box, the phone ships with Android 16, with the brand promising three years of major operating system updates and five years of security patches. The camera setup is where the smartphone earns its Pro+ badge. You get a 50MP Sony LYTIA 710 primary sensor with OIS, joined by a 50MP ultrawide with autofocus , and a 50MP periscope telephoto at 3.5x optical zoom .
A 50MP front camera handles selfies. Is there a catch? The battery is a 6,500 mAh silicon-carbon cell, which supports 90W wired charging and 15W wireless charging, packed inside a chassis measuring just 7.34 mm thick and weighing 190 grams, which is quite commendable. The phone also carries two ingress protection ratings: IP68 and IP69.
Available colors are PANTONE Zinfandel, PANTONE Chicory Coffee, and PANTONE Stormy Sea. What’s not known, however, is the phone’s Indian price, and, more importantly, the US availability and pricing. Thankfully, I can give you some context about the Indian market, where the regular Edge 70 is currently available for around $316 for the baseline variant with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
Given the difference in specifications and the ‘Pro+’ moniker, I’m expecting the handset to cost around $400 to $450 at least in India. Given that Motorola recently hiked the prices of its entry-level smartphones in the US, there’s a chance that the Edge 70 Pro+ could arrives at a higher price tag here.
