For that money Motorola gives you more RAM and storage, a 144 Hz screen and a telephoto camera. POCO gives you a much bigger battery, 10,000 mAh against 6,500 mAh, and a lower price. One caveat applies throughout: the POCO X8 Power figures come from third-party comparison sites. The official POCO page we found covers the different POCO X8, so those figures are labelled as reported.

Performance, memory and storage
Motorola has the stronger reported hardware. Its Dimensity 8500 Extreme sits in a higher tier than the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5, and it comes with 12 GB of RAM and fast UFS 4.1 storage. POCO’s reported 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage will load apps and files more slowly and leave less room for photos and games.
91mobiles reports AnTuTu scores of 2,217,003 for Motorola and 984,877 for POCO. That is a large gap, but it is one site’s result. The firmware and repeatability are not documented, so read it as direction, not a precise measure. Don’t judge by clock speed alone either.

Display
Both screens are roughly 6.8-inch AMOLED panels with almost identical resolution. The difference is refresh rate: 144 Hz for Motorola and 120 Hz for POCO. Most people will see little difference in daily use. Motorola’s panel is also marketed as “Extreme AMOLED”, a label the sources don’t explain further.
Do these 3 things before closing this tab:
1Scan for outdated or missing drivers - takes under a minute2Repair Windows errors before they cause bigger problems3Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitchesCameras
This is Motorola’s clearest advantage. Three 50 MP rear cameras, including a telephoto with up to 3.5x optical zoom, are far more flexible for portraits and distant subjects than POCO’s reported 50 MP main and 8 MP ultrawide. The 8 MP ultrawide is the weakest camera in the comparison. The front cameras are 50 MP on Motorola and 32 MP on POCO, but resolution alone doesn’t decide selfie quality. Sensor size and image processing matter too, and the sources don’t cover them.

Battery and charging
POCO’s reported 10,000 mAh cell is about 54% larger than Motorola’s 6,500 mAh, and it supports 100 W wired charging. In 91mobiles’ PCMark battery test, the figures were 14 h 11 m for Motorola and 20 h 45 m for POCO. Those are that site’s benchmark results, not guaranteed everyday battery life. Motorola does offer 15 W wireless charging, which POCO doesn’t list.
The cost of POCO’s capacity is bulk. It weighs 229 g and is 8.65 mm thick, against Motorola’s 190 g and 7.19 mm (Smartprix figures). If you carry the phone all day or use it one-handed, that difference matters.

Software support
The comparison site lists POCO with the longer commitment: 4 OS updates and 6 years of security patches, against Motorola’s 3 and 5. These are unverified comparison-site claims. Check each brand’s official update policy for the India model before you let this sway you.
Why the POCO column needs a caveat
POCO’s official global specs page covers the POCO X8, not the X8 Power. It lists different hardware, including a Snapdragon 6s Gen 4, an 8,340 mAh typical battery and 67 W charging. It therefore doesn’t confirm any X8 Power figure. Until POCO publishes a page for the X8 Power, treat its specs as reported. Also confirm that the exact India variant matches them.

Which should you buy?
- Choose the Motorola Edge 70 Pro Plus 5G if you want optical zoom, 12 GB of RAM, faster storage, a lighter body and wireless charging, and can pay about ₹12,000 more.
- Choose the POCO X8 Power 5G if battery life and price matter most, you can live with a basic ultrawide and no telephoto, and you don’t mind a heavier phone.
Check before you pay
- The live price, including bank offers, and the seller.
- The exact RAM and storage variant. The reported POCO configuration is the 8/128 GB model.
- Warranty terms and India 5G band support.
- That the listing is for the X8 Power, not the similarly named POCO X8.
