After the release of the Moto Edge Ultra, Edge Pro, and Edge Fusion, the brand has now added another smartphone to the lineup called the Motorola Edge (2024). This device is the successor to the Edge (2023), which made its debut back in October 2023. The new model comes with an improved processor as well as an improved primary camera.
Motorola Edge (2024) specs:
The Motorola Edge (2024) comes with a 6.6-inch pOLED display, with a resolution of 2400 × 1080 pixels and a 144Hz refresh rate. The panel offers 10-but colors with up to 1300 nits peak brightness and gorilla glass 3 protection.
Under the hood, the device houses a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor with a peak clock speed of 2.4GHz. It is paired with an Adreno 710 GPU. Compared to the Dimensity 7030 SoC on last year’s model, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 offers about 22% improvement in multi-core performance and 11% in GPU performance. The processor is paired with 8 GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB UFS 2.2 storage.
For optics, the phone has used a 50MP Sony LYT-700C sensor as its primary camera, which is an improvement over the 50 MP Omnivision OV50A sensor used in last year’s model. It has an aperture of f/1.88 and optical image stabilization. The second camera on the back is a 13 MP ultra-wide unit with an f/2.2 aperture and the capability to take macro shots. On the front, the phone uses a 32 MP selfie snapper with f/2.4 aperture and Quad Pixel Technology (pixel binning).
The phone runs Android 14 and packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 68W fast charging and 15W wireless charging.
