The Motorola Edge S launched as the first Snapdragon 870-powered phone in the world. This flagship killer packs some pretty impressive specs at a price tag of just a little over $300. Now, Motorola is rolling out an update that brings new features.

Motorola Edge S May update

A Weibo post shared by the official Motorola account says that a new update for the month of May is rolling out to the phone. The post highlights four of the key features the 270MB update brings. There are also several optimizations.

  1. Hellomoto voice wake-up function – owners will be able to wake up their device with the “Hello Moto” wake word.
  2. Hellomoto classic ringtones – Motorola has also brought its classic Hellomoto ringtones to the Edge S with this update, so if you are feeling nostalgic, you should check your ringtone settings for these classic tunes.
  3. Qualcomm aptX Adaptive – Qualcomm aptX Adaptive was designed to improve the audio quality when using wireless audio devices. Yes, even though the Motorola Edge S has an audio jack, that doesn’t mean your wireless audio experience should be meh. The feature not only brings hi-res audio quality to wireless audio devices but automatically adjusts depending on if you are watching a video, playing a game, or listening to an audio file. It also adjusts performance based on the environment and has a low-latency mode.
  4. Ready For PC – Ready For is a software feature that Motorola introduced this year. The feature allows users to connect their Motorola Edge S phone to an external display and use it in a variety of ways, one of which is as a desktop computer complete with a desktop UI. Think of it as their answer to Samsung DeX.

If you have not received a notification for the update, you should go check for it under your phone settings.
