Back on December 2, at the Qualcomm summit, Motorola confirmed that it will bring the devices powered by flagship SoC. In fact, a G-Series smartphone with an 800 series chipset is coming in 2021. Now, Lenovo China’s GM has teased a new Motorola smartphone and it could be called ‘Motorola Edge S’.
Chen Jin has teased the device via a Post on Weibo. The post also has an image of the Motorola logo on it. It shimmers with a yellow light falling on it having brushed textured patterns. That said, the image could just be a placeholder. The highlight is the post says a new flagship with Snapdragon 8xx is coming soon.
And if you look at the timestamp of the Weibo Post, it seems to be posted from a device with the ‘Motorola Edge S‘ moniker. Hence, there is a strong possibility that the next device could carry the above name. While he hasn’t confirmed it as the latest Snapdragon 888, don’t rule out the possibility of an older SoC like Snapdragon 865.

This is not the first time as he posted a retail packaging of a Motorola device last month suggesting an imminent launch. Also, a couple of more hints like the Geekbench of a Motorola ‘Nio’(Model: XT2125) which could be the upcoming phone suggests that it will run Snapdragon 865, 8GB RAM, and Android 11.
While we don’t know if the Edge S will sport a flat display with a dual-punch hole or a curved display with a centered punch hole yet, there is a possibility that the Edge S might continue the trend of earlier launched Motorola Edge+. However, we do know that Motorola is working on a smartphone having a display with 105Hz refresh-rate support and a 64MP camera.
And it could be the Edge S as well. Let’s wait for more concrete details in the coming days as the launch window doesn’t seem far now.
