Motorola Edge (2023) has debuted in the US. It is positioned lower than the Motorola Edge+ (2023), which went official earlier this year in the country. Priced at $599 (Amazon), the company is touting the Edge (2023) as a solid alternative to the Pixel 8, which is priced at $699. Here is a look at the detailed specs of the Edge (2023).

Motorola Edge (2023) specifications and features

Starting from the front, the Motorola Edge (2023) has a 6.6-inch pOLED display that offers an FHD+ resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and up to 1200 nits of brightness. For security, it has an under-display fingerprint scanner and runs on a MyUX-based Android 14.

Under the hood, the Edge (2023) has the Dimensity 7030 chipset, 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, and a 4,400mAh battery. The phone comes with support for 68W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging.

On the front, the Edge (2023) has a 32-megapixel selfie camera with autofocus support. On the back, there is a dual camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS support, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide lens that doubles up as a macro camera, and an LED flash.

On the connectivity front, the Motorola Edge (2023) offers 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and a USB-C port. The handset comes with a leather back and measures 158.52 x 71.99 x 7.64mm. The IP68-rated device weighs only 168 grams.

The specs of the Edge (2023) show that it is a slightly tweaked version of the Motorola Edge 40 Neo, which debuted in India recently. In comparison to the US model, the Edge 40 Neo lacks support for autofocus on its front camera and lacks wireless charging support. However, the Neo model packs a bigger battery and comes in multiple colors.

Available in the sleek Eclipse Black color option, the smartphone is currently on sale in the country through various retailers in the US, including motorola.com, Best Buy, and Amazon.

A new month is here and so is our monthly upcoming smartphone list. Just like August, September will also see countless phone releases.

Again like last month, the forthcoming handsets will be spread across different categories. There will be foldables, budget models, mid-rangers, and even flagships.

One of the important launches will be by Apple as the tech giant will unveil its next-gen iPhones. Further, Honor will re-enter the Indian smartphone market. It will also debut a new foldable in China.

At least 10 brands are anticipated to announce new phones. Unsurprisingly, the list includes all the major Chinese players, in addition to the only non-Chinese popular companies Apple and Samsung.

Let’s take a look at all the devices that are expected to be made official by these brands.

Upcoming Smartphones in September 2023

Realme C51

The Realme C51 is scheduled to launch in India on September 4. The device is already official in Southeast Asia.

However, it is not sure if the variant set to release in India will be the same. Because the recent C series models for the region are slightly different.

So far, the brand has confirmed that the product will feature a flat frame design. It will look like an iPhone Pro and will be available in a blue color option.

The handset will be equipped with a 50Mp rear camera. Finally, it will carry support for 33W charging.

Motorola Moto G54 5G

The Motorola Moto G54 is planned to go official in China on September 5. It will be unveiled in India a day later on September 6.

The official teasers from the brand have revealed key aspects of the product. It will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chip and will be backed by a 6,000mAh battery with support for 30W charging.

It will be fitted with a 6.5-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, an OIS-assisted 50MP rear camera, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. It is expected to start at ₹14,999 (~$180) in India.

Apple iPhone 15 Series

Apple has scheduled its annual iPhone launch event for September 12. The company has named the 2023 edition ‘Wonderlust’.

The iPhone 15 lineup will be unveiled at this conference. Just like in previous years, there will be four models, namely iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The high-end ‘Pro Max’ variant could be called the iPhone 15 Ultra.

All four phones are anticipated to come with a dynamic island and a USB Type-C port. Additionally, the Pro models will feature a new action button, and the Pro Max will be equipped with a periscope zoom lens.

Mysterious Honor Foldable

Honor has scheduled an event in China for September 13. The brand has confirmed to unveil a new foldable at this conference.

Though we are only a few days away from the launch, we don’t know the actual name of this product. Leaks say that it could be either Honor Magic Vs 2 or Honor Magic V2 Lite.

The Honor Magic Vs 2 is rumored to be an outward folding device like the Huawei Mate Xs series. On the other hand, the Honor Magic V2 Lite is said to be the most affordable foldable smartphone to release this year.

Samsung W24 and W24 Flip

Samsung is set to take wraps off the new W series foldable phones in China on September 15. These handsets are expected to be called Samsung W24 and Samsung W24 Flip.

Similar to the previous W series handsets, they are anticipated to be rebranded current-gen Galaxy Z foldables from the company. So the W24 and W24 Flip will be essential premium versions of Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, respectively.

These devices will likely have additional design elements to differentiate themselves from the regular models.

Realme Narzo 60x

The Realme Narzo 60x is teased by the company to debut soon in India. It should go official within the next few days.

Going by the teaser render and the name, it could be a rebranded Realme 11x 5G. But it may or may not have some changes.

For the unaware, the Realme 11x comes with a 6.74-inch FHD+ 120Hz display (LCD), a MediaTek Dimensity 6100 Plus chipset, a 64MP rear camera, a 5,000mAh battery, and 33W charging.

Honor 90

The Honor 90 is expected to launch in India this month. The brand is yet to disclose the exact date, however, a leak suggests that it could go official on September 21.

This smartphone is already on sale in multiple markets. Therefore, everything about it is already known. But we cannot deny the probability of the Indian variant being slightly different.

Anyways, the handset arrives with a 6.7-inch 1.5K 120Hz curved OLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, a 200Mp main camera, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, a 5,000mAh battery, and 66W charging.

Xiaomi 13T Series

Going by leaks and certifications, the Xiaomi 13T series could launch in September. The lineup will consist of Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro.

Leaks suggest that the pro variant will be a tweaked version of the Redmi K60 Ultra with Leica-powered better camera hardware. Whereas, the vanilla model will not only have a downgraded camera setup without Leica processing but also a less powerful chip.

Either way, both phones will look identical in terms of design. Their looks will be based on the Xiaomi 13 series and the Redmi K60 lineup.

The Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro are tipped to start from £549 and £699, respectively.

Tecno Phantom V Flip

The Tecno Phantom V Flip might debut in September. It will be the brand’s first clamshell foldable smartphone and could be more affordable than the competitors.

Its design will be unique as it will sport a 1.32-inch circular cover screen inside the camera ring. The device will be powered by a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 8050 chip and will be backed by a 4,000mAh battery.

Most importantly, it will flaunt a 6.9-inch FHD+ vertical foldable display. Also, it will arrive with a 64MP + 13MP dual camera setup on the rear and a 32MP front-facing snapper.

Motorola Edge 40 Neo and Edge 2023

According to leaks, the Edge 40 Neo will come with a 6.55-inch FHD+ 144Hz pOLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 1050 chip, a 50MP + 13MP dual camera setup, a 32MP selfie camera, an IP68 rating, a 5,000mAh battery and 68W charging support.

The phone is tipped to cost just £290 in the UK. Unfortunately, we don’t have pricing details for other regions.

Oppo A38

The Oppo A38 is tipped to launch in India in September. It will be a 4G-only budget smartphone.

As per leaks, the handset will sport a 6.56-inch HD+ 90Hz display (LCD) and an IP54-rated flat frame body. It will be powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 chipset and will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery.
