Box Content

This is what you get inside the Motorola Edge 70 Pro box:

• Motorola Edge 70 Pro Smartphone
• 90W Charger
• USB Type-C cable
• Silicone case
• User manual
• SIM tool

Motorola doesn't skimp on the in-box goodness with the Edge 70 Pro. The Motorola Edge 70 Pro, a 90W TurboPower fast charger, a USB Type-C cable, a SIM ejector tool, a protective case and the standard documentation are all included in the package. Motorola is still packing the charger and case with the phone - that's a good thing, since lots of brands are beginning to strip accessories from the retail box. 

Design & Build Quality

In the wake of the Motorola Moto X Prime, which was a relatively thin and stylish phone, the company has decided to pursue the same slim and stylish trend with the Motorola Edge 70 Pro. The phone is surprisingly light and comfortable at just 6.99mm thick and 190 grams despite its large 6500mAh battery. The curved edges and slim design ensure that it is easy to hold and the Pantone colors - Lily White, Titan, and Tea - lend a more sophisticated and contemporary tone to the device than a standard mid-range smartphone.

This comes with a plastic back and frame, which does help to keep the weight low, but diminishes the flagship feel in hand a little. But it is actually a comfortable matte finish that is moderately fingerprint resistant. The construction is very good, and there is virtually no flex or creaking when in use.

The Edge 70 Pro has one of the best durability attributes. The phone comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, offering excellent protection against dust and water immersion up to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes. Motorola also features Gorilla Glass on the front, providing additional scratch and drop protection. Overall, the Edge 70 Pro achieves a good balance of slim design, comfort and good durability, something very few phones in this sector are able to do at the moment.

Display

One of the Motorola Edge 70 Pro's standout features is its 6.8-inch Extreme AMOLED display, which can quickly become the showstopper of the handset. The panel supports HDR10+ and has a sharp resolution of 1.5K with a pixel density of 450ppi, making it ideal for a wide range of applications from streaming videos and gaming to social media browsing. The curved punch-hole design and extremely slim bezels also help to make the phone look like a true premium flagship phone with a 96.8% screen-to-body ratio.

Motorola's display is matched with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, which make scrolling, animations and gaming incredibly smooth. The 120Hz to 144Hz difference won't be noticeable to most users, but gamers will definitely feel the extra responsiveness in supported games. The touch response continues to be quick and precise even over extended gaming periods.

Brightness is one of the other strong areas. The peak brightness of the panel is up to 5200 nits, which means that the panel is visible outdoors even in the most intense sunlight. For added protection against scratches and accidental drops, Motorola has also added Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.

The colors are vibrant but not overpowering, making the Edge 70 Pro feel well-balanced compared to many of its AMOLED counterparts. The overall display quality is of a high standard and can be considered to be one of the best in the upper mid-range category.

Camera

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro is a step away from the extreme of camera-heavy phone designs and instead moves to a more balanced smartphone photography solution. It has a dual 50MP rear camera system with the Sony LYTIA™ 710 50MP primary sensor (with OIS) and a 50MP ultra-wide camera with macro capability. The setup might seem less complicated on paper than some of its telephoto-leasing counterparts, but Motorola has a strong emphasis on consistency, true-to-life colour, and everyday usability.

Daylight Photo:

During the day, the main camera takes high dynamic range, detailed, and accurate-colour photos. The photos don't look like a lot of other brands and Motorola avoids the overly saturated look that many like. Sony LYTIA 710 sensor is also good at managing shadows and highlights and autofocus is fast and reliable in most situations. Sharps are good, but there is some processing visible when zooming into photos.

This 50MP ultra-wide camera is surprisingly good for a typical secondary lens in this class. Edge distortion is kept under control and the colours are fairly consistent with the main sensor. However, the absence of a dedicated telephoto lens does restrict long-range photography, and after moderate zooming, there is a loss of detail in digital zoom beyond that point, although the specifications state that the zoom is fully supported up to 50x. 

Low-light Photo:

The overall performance of low-light photography is decent. OIS ensures steady shots and Motorola's image processing ensures that there's no over-processed artificial look. In the dark of night, photos are detailed and retain a good level of realism, though some flagships still outperform in the darkest of situations.

Another strong suit is selfie performance. The 50MP camera positioned at the front end is able to take clear pictures and maintains a proper skin tone and exposure control. It also has a great performance in indoor environments and supports 4K video recording, which is ideal for content creators and vloggers.

The Edge 70 Pro can record up to 4K at 60 frames per second (fps) on the rear camera for video. The video footage is crisp and clear, with consistent quality and sharpness, while the autofocus is reliable and delivers accurate results. Overall, the camera experience is solid and refined, though it's not all the camera tricks that the flagships boast.

Performance & Software

Motorola Edge 70 Pro offers solid performance and software optimisation. With MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme 4nm processor, the phone is very fast when using it on a day-to-day basis. It features an octa-core processor and Mali-G720 MC8 GPU, enabling it to run multitasking, games and heavy applications without any lag. The apps open in no time, the animations are smooth and the LPDDR5X RAM, along with UFS 4.1 storage makes the phone feel very responsive even when working on hefty tasks.

Another impressive aspect is gaming performance. Games such as BGMI, Call of Duty Mobile and Genshin Impact play well at high settings with consistent frames per second. Motorola has also made a step up on the thermal management front, compared to previous Edge phones, though the device will get a bit hot during long gaming sessions.

From the software point of view, Edge 70 Pro is powered by Android 16 and Motorola's Hello UI. The interface remains in line with the stock Android and this makes the phone feel lighter and cleaner than most. Motorola's helpful gestures, seamless animations and lack of bloatware make for a polished and user-friendly experience. Other features such as Moto Actions, Smart Connect and customisation options also provide for some useful day-to-day functionality.

With rivals such as Samsung just a little longer in the software support segment, Motorola guarantees several Android updates and extended security support. Overall, Edge 70 Pro is more about the predictability of real-life performance and software ease of use, and less about cramming features and hardcore gaming tweaks.

AnTuTu Benchmark Score & Geekbench Score

The Motorola Edge 70 pro has also impressive benchmark numbers, which well match with its real world performance. With the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Extreme chipset, the phone has achieved approximately 2.18 million points on the AnTuTu Benchmark v11, putting it in the ranks of the best mid-range smartphones of 2026. The GPU and memory performance is particularly impressive, ensuring the phone can run heavy games, multitask and run demanding apps without a problem.

Geekbench 6 results show that Edge 70 Pro scores approximately 1,727 points in the single-core test and approximately 6,563 points in the multi-core test. These outcomes lead to quick application launches, smooth day-to-day use and great multitasking. The phone is paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, making it very responsive when playing games, editing videos, switching between apps and more.

Battery & Charger

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro offers superb battery life and still boasts a remarkably thin design. It comes with a massive 6500mAh Silicon-Carbon battery, which will last for a whole day and more than withstand moderate usage. The phone's excellent battery performance means you won't need to worry about batteries throughout the day, whether you are watching videos, playing games, surfing social media or doing multiple tasks.

Performance of charging is also excellent. The phone also features a large battery with surprisingly fast charging speeds due to its support for 90W wired fast charging and PD3.0 support. Another premium feature Motorola is adding is its 15W wireless charging, which is still found in very few phones in the same price range. 5W reverse wired charging is also available to charge accessories or another cell phone when necessary.

Despite the massive battery, Motorola manages to keep the Edge 70 Pro at a remarkably thin 6.99mm when it's put to use. As a whole, the battery and charging experience are pretty balanced between endurance, convenience and portability for an upper mid-range smartphone.

OnePlus Nord 6 price in Bangladesh

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro is currently available in Bangladesh at an unofficial price of around BDT 57,500 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. In terms of spec, value and features, the phone comes with a thin premium design, Dimensity 8500 Extreme chip, a colourful 144Hz AMOLED screen and a massive 6500mAh battery, making it a formidable effort in the upper mid-range segment. It's aimed primarily at those seeking a well-balanced flagship-level performance, clean software and great battery life without straying too far into the premium category. 

Final Word

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro delivers a very balanced upper mid-range offering that is well-rounded in terms of design, performance, battery life and software. It features a rich 144Hz AMOLED screen, Dimensity 8500 Extreme chipset and solid dual 50MP rear shooter, making it a solid everyday smartphone for gamers and regular users. 

The lack of a telephoto camera and plastic frame may slightly restrict the “flagship” experience, but the overall experience is polished, comfortable and trustworthy. The Edge 70 Pro is a no-brainer for users seeking a clean Android with overall good performance.
