If you’ve been keeping up with the news lately, then you might have seen a ton of new gear from Motorola. The smartphone brand announced a couple of new stylus smartphones with the Moto Edge 60 Stylus and Moto G Stylus, but that’s not all—more recently, we finally got the new Moto Pad 60, a midrange slate that’s priced competitively (less than 300 quid), and more impressively comes with a brilliant specs sheet to go along with its inexpensive price.

In terms of design, the Moto Pad 60 looks like a lot of other tablets out there, especially with its all-metal chassis. It does look sleek however, and even comes with IP52 for a bit of protection against dust and water. This metal build wraps around a large 12.7-inch display, which we reckon should be ideal for different use cases such as Netflix binges, gaming, and even a bit of productivity. It’s a pretty sharp display thanks to resolution of 2944 × 1840 pixels, and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and even supports stylus input with a bundled pen.
Additionally, the tablet also comes with a quad-speaker setup, and Motorola says that the speakers are designed by JBL with Dolby Atmos optimization. You get fingerprint biometrics with a scanner that’s built into the power button.
In terms of performance, the Moto Pad 60 is no pushover—inside the device is a Dimensity 8300 chipset, which is one of the more impressive mobile processors in MediaTek’s lineup. For memory and storage, Motorola is selling the Pad 60 in different configurations, the most expensive of which comes with a 12GB and 256GB setup with a microSD card slot for expandable storage. The tablet does run on the slightly-older Android 14 version however, and given that Google is preparing to launch Android 16 it would’ve been nice to see a more updated version of the platform on here.

As with most other tablets, you’re getting a fairly large battery inside courtesy of a 10,200 mAh capacity cell. Unless you’re really into running intensive apps or resource-hungry games on the tablet, this should probably be enough to last most users an entire day of use. There’s also a camera setup that’s a bit on the basic side, which consists of a 13MP main camera, accompanied by an 8MP sensor on the front for selfies and video calls. It should be noted that the tablet is currently only available in India, although it would be nice to see it make its way here in the UK.
