Motorola appears to be getting ready to bring a more capable version of its Edge 70 series to India. A new phone, called the Edge 70 Pro+, is now listed as “coming soon” on Flipkart, and the teaser already points to a major camera upgrade over the Edge 70 Pro model recently launched in the country.
What camera features has Motorola confirmed?
According to the promotional page, the phone will feature a 50MP primary camera and a 50MP telephoto lens. The main camera uses a Sony Lytia 710 sensor with optical image stabilization.
The more interesting addition is the 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto camera, which supports 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm portrait modes. Motorola is also advertising up to 50x AI-powered zoom.
This could be an important upgrade for buyers who were disappointed by the regular Edge 70 Pro launched in India, as that model skipped the telephoto camera entirely.
Is this just the global Edge 70 Pro under a new name?
This camera setup closely matches the global Motorola Edge 70 Pro, which debuted in Europe last month. Two of the promoted color options, Pantone Zinfandel and Pantone Chicory Coffee, are also the same shades offered on the global model. That strongly suggests the Edge 70 Pro+ could simply be a rebranded version of the international Edge 70 Pro for India.
This would not be unusual for Motorola. The company has previously brought global models to India under slightly different names, and the regular Edge 70 Pro already arrived here in a cut-down form without the telephoto camera.
There may still be one India-specific touch. Pantone Stormy Sea appears to be a new colorway for the market, with Motorola describing it as “a soothing green-grey tone that channels calm amid chaos.”
Motorola has not confirmed the rest of the specifications yet. However, if the Edge 70 Pro+ is based on the global Edge 70 Pro, it could feature a 6.8-inch 144Hz AMOLED display, 90W wired fast charging, wireless charging, and more RAM than the Indian Edge 70 Pro. The official launch date is still under wraps, so these details should be treated as likely rather than confirmed.
