Last month, Motorola announced the Edge 20 and Edge 20 Fusion mid-range smartphones in India. It later revealed that the more powerful Edge 20 Pro will launch soon and eventually announced an October 1 launch date for the device. Ahead of the phone’s launch, Motorola has accidentally revealed how much it will cost.

The Motorola Edge 20 Pro was first announced in Europe in late July with a €699 (~$809) price tag for the 12GB RAM + 256GB variant. In a now-deleted tweet, the Motorola India Twitter account revealed that the phone will sell for ₹36,999 (~$498). That is much cheaper than the price tag in Europe but we should note that the version launching in India will have 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

The promotional page on Flipkart already lists the full specifications of the device. The Edge 20 Pro will have a 144Hz 10-bit AMOLED display with a centered punch-hole for a 32MP front-facing camera. Powering the phone is a Snapdragon 870 processor that draws juice from a 4500mAh battery that charges at 30W.

The phone has three rear cameras – a 108MP primary camera with Ultra Pixel technology, an 8MP periscope telephoto camera with OIS and 5x optical zoom, and a 16MP ultrawide angle camera that doubles as a macro camera. The Edge 20 Pro also has up to 50x superzoom and a zoom microphone. It can also record in 8K at 24fps and in 4K at 30fps.

The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a USB-C port with DisplayPort so owners can make use of the Ready For feature that allows the Edge 20 Pro to be connected to an external display and be used as a desktop computer.

The Edge 20 Pro will run Android 11 out of the box and Motorola has confirmed that it will receive Android 12 and Android 13 OS upgrades as well as two years of security updates. The phone will be sold by Flipkart and will be available in Iridescent Cloud and Midnight Sky.

Motorola recently launched a slew of smartphones under the Edge series. The series is made up of the Motorola Edge 20, the Edge 20 Fusion, and the most powerful Motorola Edge 20 Pro. The flagship Motorola Edge 20 Pro has now gotten the teardown treatment, thanks to PBKreviews.

The teardown shows the Edge 20 Pro is pretty difficult to repair with a reparability score of 4.5/10. That means it won’t b a good idea to attempt to repair the phone yourself if you haven’t got the expertise.

The teardown also gives us a good look at the internals showing a group of graphene films for heat conduction. The video also shows the sideways-mounted telephoto camera lying next to the 108MP main camera.

The Edge 20 Pro’s battery does not come with pull tabs to detach it from the phone. This makes it risky and difficult to remove the battery. Caution will need to be exercised so as not to damage other components due to the strength of the adhesive.

In the same vein, screen replacement might pose some serious challenges if the need arises. This is because the phone has to be opened entirely, starting from the back to the front. Replacing the side-mounted fingerprint sensor will also require opening the entire screen first but thankfully, you may never need to do that.

As a reminder. the Motorola Edge 20 Pro is a Snapdragon 870-powered phone sporting a 6.7-inch FHD+ 144Hz OLED display. The processor is paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The phone packs a 108MP primary rear camera, an 8MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom and 50x superzoom, and a 16MP ultrawide angle camera that can also shoot in macro. While for selfies, there is a 32MP camera.

Motorola renewed its most advanced lineup of smartphones by launching a new trio of models: Motorola Edge 20, Motorola Edge 20 Pro, and Motorola Edge 20 Lite. The phones belong to different price segments: the vanilla version is an upper-midrange device, the Pro is a flagship, and the Lite variant is a mid-ranger. But besides the hardware department, are there other difference which is worth knowing before considering the purchase of one of these three phones? This comparison between their specifications will clear your ideas in regards.

Motorola Edge 20 vs Motorola Edge 20 Pro vs Motorola Edge 20 Lite

Design

The most beautiful design belongs to the Motorola Edge 20 Pro. It comes in color options made of different materials: there is a version with a glass back and a version with an eco leather back. With the Motorola Edge 20, you get an aluminum frame, but the rear side is made of plastic, while the Motorola Edge 20 Lite is entirely made of polycarbonate, so it is less attractive. All the phones have a water repellent coating but there are different kinds of protections for the glasses. The Pro variant has Gorilla Glass 5 for the display, the Edge has Gorilla Glass 3, and the Edge 20 Lite does not seem to have strong protection for the front glass, so a screen protector is recommended.

Display

Motorola Edge 20 and 20 Pro have the same high-end OLED display which is able to show up to one billion colors, supports a 144 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification improving the image quality. There is only one single difference between this panel and the one found on the Edge 20 Lite: the refresh rate. The Lite variant has a lower 90 Hz refresh rate. All the phones feature an in-display fingerprint reader for authentication.

Hardware/Software

The Motorola Edge 20 Pro is a flagship phone as it is powered by the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform: not the best by Qualcomm, but close to it. The SoC is paired with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage. The original Edge 20 has an upper-midrange Snapdragon 778G and two memory configurations available: 8/128 GB and 12/256 GB, while the Edge 20 Lite has a midrange-class Dimensity 720 5G paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. All of them run Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

If you need a real camera phone, go either for the Motorola Edge 20 or the 20 Pro. They have the same main rear camera that is a 108 MP sensor, as well as a 16 MP front camera. Only one sensor is different: the one that provides the optical zoom feature. While the standard version has an 8 MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, the Pro version has an 8 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom. Unfortunately, no optical zoom on the Lite variant which includes a 108 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP macro camera.

Battery

The Motorola Edge 20 Lite wins the battery comparison as it features a bigger 5000 mAh battery providing a longer battery life on a single charge. The Motorola Edge 20 is pretty disappointing with just 4000 mAh, but it is one of the thinnest phones in the market. The Pro variant sits in the middle with 4500 mAh.

Motorola Edge 20 vs Motorola Edge 20 Pro vs Motorola Edge 20 Lite: Price

Motorola Edge 20 is priced at €500/$593, the Edge 20 Pro sells for €700/$830, and the Edge 20 Lite will be available with a listing price of €350/$415. These are the prices for Europe, but they vary depending on the region.

The post Motorola Edge 20 vs Edge 20 Pro vs Edge 20 Lite: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

You’d expect a phone with Edge in its name to have a curved display, but Motorola told us that isn’t a standard rule when it announced the Motorola Edge S announced in January. In case the lesson didn’t stick, it has now announced three new Edge phones and none of them has a curved screen. However, the Motorola Edge 20 Pro, Edge 20, and Edge 20 Lite do have some pretty interesting specs including a 108MP camera on all three models.

Motorola Edge 20 Pro and Motorola Edge 20

The Edge 20 Pro is the leader of the pack and it gets all of the best features. It has a 6.67-inch 10-bit OLED display with DCI-P3 color gamut, HDR10+, Amazon HDR, and an impressive 144Hz refresh rate. It also has a centered punch hole for the front-facing camera. The Edge 20 has the same display size, type, and features, save for the lack of support for Amazon HDR.

Powering the Motorola Edge 20 Pro is the Snapdragon 870 processor, the same one that made its global debut in the Edge S a.k.a. Moto G100. There is 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It also has two features called Turbo Write and Host-Aware Performance Booster.

The Motorola Edge 20 comes with the less-powerful Snapdragon 778G processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. It also misses out on the fast writing speed and performance booster of the pro model.

There is a primary 108MP rear camera on both phones. In addition, the Edge 20 Pro has an 8MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom and 50x superzoom and a 16MP ultrawide angle camera that can shoot macro photographs. The Pro model can also shoot in 8K.

The Edge 20 also has an 8MP camera but with 3x optical zoom and 30x superzoom and a 16MP ultrawide angle camera that doubles as a macro camera. Both phones have a 32MP front-facing camera.

The Edge 20 Pro has a 4500mAh battery while the Edge 20 has a smaller 4000mAh battery but both phones support 30W TurboPower fast charging. The two phones run Android 11 with My UX on top. They also come with the Ready For PC feature that allows the phone to be connected to an external display to use in desktop mode, serve as a webcam, or as a gaming console.

Motorola Edge 20 Lite

The Motorola Edge 20 Lite also has a 6.67-inch 10-bit OLED display with DCI-P3 color gamut and HDR10+. Its refresh rate is lower at 90Hz and it also misses out on Amazon HDR support.

Powering the phone is MediaTek’s Dimensity 720 processor and it is paired with 8GB  of RAM and 128GB of storage. The 108MP primary rear camera comes along with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera that can also take macro photos and a 2MP depth camera. Its front-facing camera is a 32MP sensor too.

Unlike its siblings which have an in-display fingerprint scanner, the Edge 20 Lite has a side-mounted scanner. However, it does have a water-repellent design, ThinkShield Security for mobile, support for Ready For albeit with fewer features, and Wi-Fi 6.

Motorola gives the Edge 20 Lite a bigger 5000mAh battery and adds support for 30W TurboPower fast charging. It runs My UX based on Android 11 out of the box.

According to Nils Ahrensmeier of Techniknews, Motorola has revealed that all three phones will receive OS upgrades and security updates for two years. So we should see them receive Android 12 and Android 13 updates.

Pricing and Availability

TThe Edge 20 Pro will sell for €699, the Edge 20 will retail for €499, and the Edge 20 Lite will be sold for €349.99. All three phones will go on sale in August and you will be able to buy the Motorola Edge 20 Pro is available in Dark Blue, White, and Indigo Vegan Leather. The Motorola Edge 20 will be available in Frosted Onyx and Frosted Pearl and the Edge 20 Lite will be available in Electric Graphite and Lagoon Green.
