Why buy the Motorola Edge 70 Pro
- Bright, smooth screen: The 144Hz AMOLED panel gets very bright, which helps when you use the phone outdoors in Nairobi sun.
- Battery that lasts: The 6,500mAh cell is 500mAh larger than the one in last year’s Edge 60 Pro, and reviewers report it lasts a full day or more on moderate use.
- Quick top-ups: 90W wired charging brings a near-empty battery close to full in about an hour.
- Tough build: IP68 and IP69 ratings and MIL-STD-810H testing give more protection than most phones at this price.
- Useful camera reach: The 50MP periscope telephoto lens adds zoom range that many phones in this bracket do not offer.

| IP68/IP69 and MIL-STD-810H build | One review noted uneven thermal management under load |

Motorola Edge 70 Pro vs Huawei Pura 90S Pro
The Huawei Pura 90S Pro is the closest alternative in our range with the same 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The table uses Avechi’s listed price and configuration for the Huawei, plus the Motorola specs confirmed above.
| Feature | Motorola Edge 70 Pro | Huawei Pura 90S Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Avechi price | KSh 84,999 | KSh 78,999 |

| Screen refresh rate | 144Hz | See listing |
| Charging | 90W wired | See listing |

Verdict: The Huawei costs KSh 6,000 less at Avechi with the same memory setup. Choose the Motorola if the 144Hz screen, 90W charging and IP68/IP69 rating matter most to you. If you only need 12GB and 256GB, the Huawei is the better value. Compare the full specs on both listings before you pay.
