Motorola Edge 70 Pro Undercuts Pixel 10a With Dimensity 8500 Extreme

Simon Ellis 2 min read

Motorola Edge 70 Pro undercuts Google Pixel 10a at $400 with Dimensity 8500 Extreme, 6500mAh battery, and 50MP periscope camera.

Motorola has entered the midrange smartphone market with the Edge 70 Pro, offering a device that undercuts the Google Pixel 10a by a significant margin. This pricing shift matters to buyers who want flagship-grade hardware without the premium cost associated with Google's latest midrange offering. The phone targets users who prioritize raw processing power and battery capacity over computational photography features.

Flagship-grade hardware and periscope camera available for significantly less than Google's midrange contender

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro runs on MediaTek's Dimensity 8500 Extreme processor, which provides a performance advantage over the Tensor G4 chip found in the Pixel 10a. The device features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display that supports a 144Hz refresh rate and reaches a peak brightness of 5200 nits. This screen size is notably larger than the 6.3-inch panel on the competing Google device.

Spec comparison

Spec Motorola Edge 70 Pro Google Pixel 10a
Processor Dimensity 8500 Extreme Tensor G4
Display 6.78-inch AMOLED, 144Hz 6.3-inch AMOLED
Battery 6500mAh Not specified
Charging 90W wired, 15W wireless Not specified
Telephoto Camera 50MP, 3.5x zoom Not specified

Storage and memory configurations include up to 12GB of RAM and UFS 4.1 flash storage for faster data access. The phone houses a substantial 6500mAh battery that supports 90W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. These specifications suggest a focus on endurance and quick power replenishment for heavy users.

The camera system consists of three 50MP sensors, including a periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom that the Pixel 10a does not have. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 to ensure modern network standards support. The device also carries IP68 and IP69 ratings along with MIL-STD-810H certification for durability in harsh conditions.

The Motorola Edge 70 Pro is priced at around 400 USD in global markets, while the Indian variant costs 39000 INR (around $413). This price point positions the phone as a budget-friendly alternative to the Pixel 10a, which retails for approximately $500. Buyers who value hardware specs and zoom capabilities may find this device more suitable than the Pixel, which offers superior image processing and longer software support.
