What buyers should know
Battery and charging are the strong points, with 7,100mAh, 90W wired and 25W wireless charging. The camera setup has no telephoto or periscope lens, so anyone who shoots a lot of zoomed photos should look elsewhere.
Three OS updates and up to five years of security updates are reasonable, but worth comparing with Samsung at this price.
If the camera matters more, Motorola’s own Edge 70 Pro+ costs less, at ₹47,999, and has a periscope telephoto. Other phones with very large batteries include the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max, at ₹49,999 with 10,000mAh, and Motorola’s Moto G77 Power, at ₹25,999 with 7,000mAh.
Why it matters for mobile shops
Lead with battery and the display. The ₹49,999 effective price depends on a bank card or exchange, so explain that clearly. Customers wanting a camera phone are better shown something with a zoom lens.
Correction (November 1, 2026): An earlier version said this phone has a 50MP periscope camera. The report we checked lists main, ultra-wide and macro cameras.
