Flipkart is teasing the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ ahead of its expected early June launch in India, with fresh design renders surfacing that confirm a slimmer profile and refreshed camera layout. The device arrives as Xiaomi locked in a June 4 India launch for the Xiaomi 17T, setting up a crowded mid-range showdown across the subcontinent. The Motorola is tipped to carry a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel at 120Hz with a 50MP main sensor, while the Xiaomi 17T is expected to pair Media Tek Dimensity-series silicon with competitive pricing.
