Motorola has announced the moto pad 70 PRO, a premium Android tablet, in India. It pairs a 13-inch 3.5K 144Hz display with the upper-midrange Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, and bundles a 10,200mAh battery along with the pressure-sensitive moto Pen PRO stylus in the box. Built as an all-in-one device for work, video, and drawing, it starts at Rs 36,999 (about 63,000 yen) and goes on sale on July 4. It is a tablet that covers the everyday essentials without cutting corners.

A 13-inch 3.5K 144Hz Display and Quad JBL Speakers

The biggest highlight is the 13-inch large display. It offers 3.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, supports 12-bit color depth and Dolby Vision, covers 99 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut, and reaches a peak brightness of up to 800 nits. These specs benefit both the smoothness of scrolling and handwriting input and the color reproduction of video content.

Audio is equally solid. The tablet packs quad speakers tuned by JBL with Dolby Atmos support. The setup is clearly aimed at enjoying movies and shows on the big screen, delivering powerful sound without relying on external speakers.

Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and a 10,200mAh Battery

At its core sits Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. It comes with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage, expandable to up to 2TB via microSD card. Motorola says the tablet scores over 2.5 million on AnTuTu and supports gaming at up to 120fps. Note that these are manufacturer-published benchmark figures, and real-world performance varies with usage and load.

The 10,200mAh battery is large and supports 45W fast charging. The bundled charger is rated at 68W, leaving room for faster charging when paired with compatible accessories. Large tablets tend to draw a lot of power, but the combination of capacity and charging speed is built to support long sessions.

The software runs on Android 16, with promised upgrades to Android 17 and Android 18 and security updates through 2030, which adds peace of mind for long-term use. A 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera handle tablet-style tasks such as video calls and document scanning.

The Bundled moto Pen PRO and Its AI Features

The moto pad 70 PRO includes the pressure-sensitive moto Pen PRO stylus in the box. With styluses increasingly sold separately, bundling one as standard is practical, letting you start handwriting or drawing right out of the box.

The pen works with a range of AI features: Smart Capture for intelligently grabbing on-screen information, Sketch to Image for turning rough sketches into images, AI Super Res for boosting resolution, AI Live Transcript for converting speech to text on the spot, AI Notes for organizing notes, and Smarter Reader for cleaner reading. From handwritten notes and document creation to creative work, the aim is to streamline tasks by combining the pen with AI.

A 6.2mm Slim Metal Body and Expandability

The body is full metal, measuring about 6.2mm thick and weighing about 589 grams. Despite the 13-inch display, it stays thin and light, making it easy to carry and comfortable to hold for long periods. For connectivity, it supports Bluetooth 6.0 and Wi-Fi 7, securing stable communication on the latest wireless standards.

It also supports Smart Connect for linking multiple devices and Desk Mode for PC-like use. Attaching the optional snap-on keyboard adds a touchpad and a dedicated Smart Key, letting you write and work in a PC-like workflow. The expandability is clearly aimed at users who want to use the tablet as a productivity tool as well.

Summary
