Motorola is launching the Moto Pad 70 Groove tablet in India on July 31, bringing a focus on high-fidelity audio to the mid-range market. This device targets viewers who prioritize immersive sound for media consumption over raw processing power. The inclusion of a dedicated fold-out ring allows the tablet to function as a portable Bluetooth speaker when detached from the main body.
Motorola targets media consumers with a dedicated audio setup
The tablet runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor and features a 12.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 2,560 by 1,600 pixels. The screen supports a 120 Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and video playback. Motorola positions this device as a multimedia-centric option rather than a high-performance gaming machine.
Specifications
- Display: 12.1-inch IPS, 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, 120 Hz

Audio is the defining feature of the Moto Pad 70 Groove, housing nine distinct drivers tuned by JBL experts. The configuration includes four tweeters, three woofers, and two passive radiators to deliver 7.2 surround sound. The device also supports Hi-Res Audio Wireless for high-quality wireless listening.
Power comes from a 10,200 mAh battery that charges via USB-C at up to 45 watts. The hardware setup results in a thick profile of 22.7 millimeters and a weight of 760 grams. The rear camera is a 13-megapixel unit, while the front features an 8-megapixel selfie camera for video calls.
We touched on Motorola Moto Pad 70 Pro unveiled in our earlier Motorola coverage. The Moto Pad 70 Groove serves as a more affordable alternative focused on audio rather than the Pro's high-end Snapdragon chip. This distinction helps buyers choose between performance and multimedia features.
Motorola has not confirmed whether the device is a rebranded Lenovo Tab Plus Gen 2, though hardware similarities suggest this possibility. The launch is confirmed for India on July 31 via Flipkart. Buyers seeking a dedicated media tablet with robust speaker hardware should watch for the official release.
