Says revealed 15 August 2026

“The Moto Pad 70's 256GB model will go on sale in India starting August 15 through Motorola's Indian website, Flipkart, and leading retail stores across the country.” Read it ↗

Strong track record Moved our date 306 days earlier

GSMArena usually calls things later than they happen, so we pulled this 2 days earlier before believing it.

Numbers, for the curious

The 80% range runs 17 Aug 2026 to 2 Sept 2026 (16 days wide), with a standard deviation of 10 days. Starting model: manufacturer_seasonal+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).
