Tech Desk: The highly anticipated Motorola Edge 70 Pro+, set to launch in India on June 4th, has made a surprising appearance on Geekbench, revealing crucial details about its performance. Positioned as the most premium offering in the Edge 70 series, the Pro+ model is listed with a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 processor, a 4nm octa-core chipset. This choice is notably different from the Edge 70 Pro’s Dimensity 8500 Extreme, raising eyebrows about the hierarchy within the lineup.

On Geekbench, the Edge 70 Pro+ scored 1,722 in single-core and 5,623 in multi-core tests, suggesting competent mid-range performance. However, the unexpected use of the Dimensity 8400, which has lower clock speeds than the Dimensity 8500 Extreme, implies that the Pro+ might not offer a significant performance uplift over its slightly less expensive sibling, or potentially even perform slightly below it in raw CPU tasks. The listing also confirms 12GB of RAM and indicates it will run Android 16.

Despite the intriguing chipset decision, Motorola is clearly emphasizing other premium aspects. The Edge 70 Pro+ is confirmed to feature a powerful 50MP periscope lens with 3.5x optical zoom, a major photographic upgrade. It also sports a 50MP Sony Lytia 710 main sensor with 3.5-degree optical image stabilization, enhanced with AI-powered super zoom and advanced night photography features. With luxurious Pantone finishes and an additional shortcut button, the Edge 70 Pro+ is shaping up to be a compelling upper mid-ranger, appealing primarily to users prioritizing advanced camera capabilities and distinctive design rather than raw benchmark scores.
