Verdict on the Moto Pad 60 Pro: Fantastic designer tablet with one major drawback

Western consumers don't have it easy when it comes to Asian technology: we have to worry about whether high-end camera-equipped smartphones from China will actually make it to us, or whether the devices we order as direct imports are actually as advertised. Or it may simply be a case of long delivery times or a lack of insurance.

The Motorola Moto Pad 60 Pro is another case in point: the device is mainly available in India and a few other countries, but not officially in Western markets.

Why that's a shame

The Moto Pad 60 Pro is a very stylish, high-quality designer tablet with a metal unibody and IP52 protection. For around $350, it offers powerful performance in the form of a MediaTek Dimensity 8300, a 144 Hz panel, fast UFS 3.1 storage, Wi-Fi 6E, and the precise Moto Pen Pro is also included.

At around 400 cd/m², the display could be brighter, and the cameras deliver only average results. However, the battery life and 45-watt charging are quite decent, and the sound from the four JBL speakers is impressive.

For Europe and the US, the Moto Pad 60 Pro is only available as an import, which has disadvantages in terms of warranty and updates (only up to Android 16). You'll also have to accept long delivery times and possible import fees.

Is it worth importing the Moto Pad 60 Pro?

If the designer look is important to you, it may still be worth importing. For those who find this too much hassle, we have a tip: The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro may not be quite as stylish, but it is otherwise almost identical to the Moto Pad 60 Pro and is available for $389.99 at Lenovo.
