Motorola Moto Pad 70 Pro Review:
Design and Build:
The Moto Pad 70 Pro measures 296.5 x 191.9 x 6.2mm and weighs 598 grams. The build is all-metal with an aluminum frame and aluminum back alongside a glass front, premium materials that provide structural rigidity and a flagship feel. At 6.2mm, it is notably slim for a 13-inch tablet. The tablet is splash resistant, not IP67 or IP68 rated. Available only in Pantone Titan.
Display:
The Moto Pad 70 Pro carries a 13.0-inch IPS LCD display at 3504 x 2190 pixels (318 ppi) in a 16:10 ratio, running at 144Hz with 800-nit peak brightness, Dolby Vision HDR, and 68 billion colour support. The 16:10 ratio provides more vertical workspace than 16:9 panels, useful for documents, code, and web content. Dolby Vision enables HDR playback on compatible streaming content.
Performance:
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 on 4nm with Adreno 825 GPU and 8GB RAM provides near-flagship performance. The 128GB variant uses UFS 3.1 storage; the 256GB variant uses UFS 4.0 for faster app loading and file operations. Android 16 is pre-installed with a commitment of 2 major Android upgrades, taking the tablet to approximately Android 18.
Audio:
The Moto Pad 70 Pro carries a 4-speaker JBL stereo system with Dolby Atmos processing and 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Res audio. Four speakers in the slim aluminium body deliver clear, wide stereo separation for movies, music, and video calls. JBL's acoustic tuning optimises output for the chassis constraints. No 3.5mm headphone jack, wired audio uses USB-C.
Connectivity:
The Moto Pad 70 Pro connects via Wi-Fi 7 dual-band, the latest wireless standard. Bluetooth 6.0 handles wireless accessories and headphones. USB-C 3.2 with DisplayPort handles external display output, fast data, and charging. Accessory connector pins connect compatible keyboard and stylus accessories without Bluetooth pairing. No GPS, no NFC, no 3.5mm headphone jack, and no cellular SIM slot.
Battery and Charging:
The Moto Pad 70 Pro carries a 10,200mAh battery with 68W wired charging and reverse wired charging. The 10,200mAh capacity provides strong all-day tablet endurance. The 68W charging recovers the large battery noticeably faster than the 18W to 45W charging common on competing tablets at this price.
