In a market increasingly saturated with high-end tablets that carry equally high price tags, Motorola makes a bold move with its latest release: the Moto Pad 60 Pro. Positioned as a premium mid-range tablet, it offers an appealing mix of performance, display quality, and productivity features—without the flagship price tag.

Design and Build: Sleek, Modern, and Professional

At first glance, the Moto Pad 60 Pro stands out with its minimalist aesthetic and solid aluminum chassis. It features a 12.1-inch 2.5K LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth visuals whether you're watching videos or scrolling through documents. The bezels are slim but not too thin, allowing for a comfortable grip in both portrait and landscape modes.

Weighing in at just over 550 grams and measuring a trim 6.5mm in thickness, the tablet strikes a balance between portability and a premium in-hand feel. Motorola has also equipped the device with a quad-speaker system tuned by Dolby Atmos, delivering surprisingly immersive audio for the category.

Performance: Snapdragon Power at Its Core

Under the hood, the Moto Pad 60 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chipset, paired with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. While this may not match flagship-level specs, real-world usage is smooth and efficient. Apps launch quickly, multitasking is fluid, and even moderate gaming doesn’t show major signs of strain.

Motorola has clearly optimized the software for performance. The tablet runs a near-stock version of Android 14, free of bloatware and tuned with productivity in mind. Support for multi-window mode, taskbar enhancements, and stylus input (stylus sold separately) makes this tablet especially appealing for students and professionals alike.

Battery and Charging: Long Life, Fast Top-Ups

Equipped with a sizable 10,000mAh battery, the Moto Pad 60 Pro comfortably delivers two days of moderate use. During our testing, it handled streaming, note-taking, and light gaming without needing a recharge at the end of a standard workday.

When it’s time to juice up, the tablet supports 33W TurboPower fast charging. While not blazing fast compared to some rivals, it takes the battery from 0 to 100% in just under 90 minutes—respectable given the battery size.

Cameras and Connectivity: More Than Just an Afterthought

While tablets aren’t typically camera powerhouses, Motorola has given the Pad 60 Pro a capable 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing sensor. These are perfectly adequate for video calls, scanning documents, and occasional photos. AI enhancements help improve low-light shots and auto-framing during video calls, which is a nice bonus.

Connectivity-wise, the device offers Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and a USB-C 3.1 port, plus support for a keyboard case, making it more of a laptop alternative than many would expect in this price segment.

Verdict: High Value, Low Compromise

The Moto Pad 60 Pro is not trying to dethrone the iPad Pro or Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra—but it doesn’t need to. It delivers where it counts: a high-refresh-rate display, strong battery life, respectable performance, and useful productivity features, all wrapped in a modern design and offered at a competitive price.

Expected to launch at around ₹25,000 (~$300) in India and other global markets, the Moto Pad 60 Pro clearly aims to capture the attention of students, casual users, and professionals seeking value.

Bottom line: The Moto Pad 60 Pro brings a lot to the table—performance, aesthetics, and functionality—without burning a hole in your pocket.
