Motorola has launched the Moto Pad 70 in India at Rs 33,999, bundling a stylus (Moto Pen) in the box. It features a 12.1-inch 2.5K display with 90 Hz refresh rate, MediaTek Dimensity 6400 processor, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, and a 10,200 mAh battery with 68W charger. The tablet runs Android 16 with updates till Android 17 and three years of security patches.
Earlier, the company launched the Moto Pad 70 Groove at Rs 36,999, featuring a 120 Hz display, JBL Pro nine-speaker system, Dimensity 7400 chip, AI features, and a rotating kickstand. It also has a 10,200 mAh battery with 45W charging and gets OS upgrades till Android 18.
Motorola's new tablets bring solid hardware at competitive prices, but narratives about them being 'game changers' or 'too late' are exaggerated. The JBL speaker system on the Groove is a genuine differentiator, yet the shorter update policy on the standard Moto Pad compared to rivals raises real questions. The real test will be how many consumers choose these over established options from Samsung or Xiaomi when they hit stores on August 7 and 15.
