Motorola is one of the most popular Android brands in the US and it has a decent line of smartphones in the country. Expanding its portfolio further, the Lenovo-owned company today announced a new flagship, called Motorola Edge+ 2023 for consumers in the States. It brings the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor under the hood and a 6.7-inch AMOLED display. The handset also comes with a promise of 4 years of software updates. Let’s have a closer look at the details.

Motorola Edge+ 2023 Specifications

Motorola Edge+ is not exactly a new device. It is the US version of the Motorola Edge 40 Pro, which debuted in Europe back in April. The smartphone comes with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display that offers an FHD+ resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. The curved panel features an in-screen fingerprint scanner. It is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance. There’s Gorilla Glass Victus protection on both front and back of the smartphone.

In the rear camera department, the Motorola Edge+ gets a main 1/1.55-inch main 50MP sensor with OIS support, a 1/1.22-inch 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens with a 117-degree FoV, and a 12MP telephoto unit. For selfies, you get a 60MP snapper on the front. It runs Android 13 with Motorola My Ux skin on top. The company promises that Edge+ will get three major Android OS updates and four years of security updates.

Under the hood, the Motorola flagship is equipped with Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, paired with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB UFS 4.0 storage. It is backed by a 4,600mAh battery unit with support for 125W wired, 15W wireless, and 5W reverse wireless charging.

Price and Availability

The Motorola Edge+ 2023 will be available on Boost Mobile starting May 9. It will then roll out to Spectrum Mobile and Consumer Cellular. If you prefer to buy it unlocked, you can get it from Motorola.com, Best Buy, and Amazon for $799 starting May 25.

We are heading to the last month of this year which also brings us closer to the festive season. In December, there are phone launches from top Chinese smartphone brands thanks to the vouch of the availability of the recently announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. That said, there will be more mid-range phones coming out than budget-centric phones. Some of the confirmed and rumoured phone launches are from brands like Motorola, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Realme, Redmi, and Micromax.

1. Motorola Edge X30(Edge 30 Ultra) 

Motorola is expected to launch one of the worlds first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered flagship smartphones. Reportedly, the company will launch a device dubbed Motorola Edge X30(a.k.a Edge 30 Ultra) on December 9. The company on its social media handle has confirmed its arrival. Although there are only a few days left for its release, there’s still not much to learn about its specs.

So far we know that it could feature a 6.67-inch screen with a 144Hz AMOLED display. It is expected to have great cameras with a 50MP + 50MP + 2MP triple rear camera setup and a single 60MP selfie lens.

2. Xiaomi 12

Next up we have the upcoming Xiaomi 12 which will be another Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered device. The smartphone is rumoured to launch on December 12 booting with the new MIUI 13 software skin.

A recent report revealed that the smartphone will come with a triple camera system at the rear and will have an AG Glass body. The phone is expected to have a 50MP primary lens. Our exclusive screen protector leak of the Pro variant confirmed that the device may have a punch-hole screen with thinner bezels.

3. OnePlus RT 

OnePlus RT a.k.a the OnePlus 9RT has been in the news for a long time. The smartphone is already available in the Chinese market selling with the moniker 9RT, however, the phone will debut as the OnePlus RT in the Indian region.

Unfortunately, the Indian launch date of the device is yet to be known but since many details are known, we expect it to debut soon. What we know is that the OnePlus RT may come at a starting price of Rs. 39,999 and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC.

4. Redmi K50 series

Xiaomi’s Redmi is expected to launch the Redmi K50 series in the Chinese market. However, the exact date is unconfirmed. But, the leaks have taken over the internet and revealed plenty of the series’ details.

The Redmi K50 is expected to come with four different chipsets like the Snapdragon 870(a mid-range model), Snapdragon 8 Gen 1(flagship model), Dimensity 7000, and Dimensity 9000(game-centric model). All the phones in the series will boot on the upcoming MIUI 13 and are expected to debut by the end of this month. Later, these models could launch globally with different monikers.

5. Realme Narzo 50A Prime, Realme C35

Realme has been quiet for the last couple of weeks and that could mean that the company was working on a few phones under wraps. Recently, the company touted that it will soon launch a premium flagship smartphone and it was later revealed to be the successor of the Realme GT, the Realme GT 2 Pro.

Anyway, this premium flagship is nowhere to be expected to launch this month as the phone is yet to pass plenty of certifications before it releases. What could arrive are two budget-centric phones – the Realme Narzo 50A Prime and Realme C35.

Both the Narzo 50A Prime and the C35 will supposedly be the extensions of the 50 series and C-series respectively. That said, expect entry-level specs with big batteries as the key feature.

6. Xiaomi 11i, Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge

Xiaomi recently launched the Redmi Note 11T 5G in India and it looks like another Note 11 series phone may land in the market but with a different moniker. Xiaomi is expected to bring the China-exclusive Redmi Note 11 Pro+ in India with the moniker Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge.

The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge is expected to bring a whopping 120W fast charging support and a 6.67-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is expected to come powered by a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity SoC. The Xiaomi 11i, on the other hand, is expected to be another device with some downgraded specs sheet over the HyperCharge model.

7. Moto G200 

The Snapdragon 888+ powered Moto G200 5G is expected to land in India after its initial European release. The flagship phone is expected to come at an aggressive price in the region. The exact launch date is yet to be known but it is touted to debut this month itself.

The Motorola G200 comes with a 6.8-inch punch-hole LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Its major highlight is the 108MP triple rear camera system which is accompanied by a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP depth sensor.

8. Micromax Budget phone

Indian phone maker Micromax on its Twitter handle confirmed that it will launch a new smartphone soon. Netizens expect that the new phone may debut this month itself. This device could be the Micromax In Note 1 Pro which recently passed a few certifications.

The Micromax In Note 1 Pro is powered by the MediaTek MT6785 SoC a.k.a the Helio G90 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM. The phone is expected to bring major improvements over the vanilla In Note 1. It is expected to have a big battery with fast charging support. It may come with improvement cameras.

These are some of the phones coming up this month. Which device are you most excited about? Do tell us in the comments.

Motorola is on a launch spree. After announcing the Edge 20 series in Europe and India, and the Edge S Pro and Edge Lite in China, it has now unveiled the Motorola Edge in the U.S. Yes, the successor to last year’s Motorola Edge is also called the Motorola Edge, but for the sake of clarity, we will call it the Motorola Edge (2021).

The Motorola Edge (2021) is a weird device. While it looks like the Edge 20/Edge Lite (China), its specifications are actually quite different and it doesn’t have that lightweight and thin design. It also feels like a downgrade in some areas when compared to last year’s model.

The FHD+ display is 6.7-inches or 6.8-inches (the product page says both) but it is an 8-bit LCD and not a 10-bit OLED. It does keep the 576Hz touch response rate and 144Hz refresh rate which it claims is 60% faster than that of the first generation Edge and Edge+. It also has HDR10 and there is a centered punch hole for a 32MP camera.

Powering it is a Snapdragon 778G processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of non-expandable storage. Surprisingly, it gets a bigger 5000mAh battery with support for 30W TurboPower fast charging with an included charger.

The Motorola Edge (2021) has a 108MP f/1.9 primary rear camera, an 8MP f/2.2 119° ultrawide angle camera that can shoot macro images, and a 2MP f/2.4 depth camera. There is a single speaker and three microphones but no audio jack. It also has Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, Wi-Fi 6E, mmWave, a single SIM slot, IP52 rating, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It runs My UX based on Android 11 and comes with support for Ready For.

Motorola has put a price tag of $699 on the phone but is running a limited-time offer that brings the price down to $499. Interested buyers will be able to get their hands on it at an undisclosed date. However, you can register on the official Motorola website to be notified when pre-order begins. The Motorola Edge (2021) is available in a single colorway called Nebula Blue.

The Motorola Edge family is about to get bigger. The line which made its debut last year with the Edge and Edge Plus, got a China-exclusive model called the Edge S early this year. Now, details of four new models have surfaced on the web.

Evan Blass (@evleaks) shared an image that revealed that Motorola has three new smartphones for the Edge lineup in development.  The image which was shared on Twitter earlier today mentions the phones are codenamed “Sierra”, “Berlin”, “Berlin NA”, and “Kyoto”.

https://t.co/PgjrgYoWAY pic.twitter.com/3pDLw0mmzQ

— Evan Blass (@evleaks) April 25, 2021

The folks at Techniknews in partnership with Adam Conway of XDA Developers have confirmed the existence of these devices and have even gotten the camera details of the model codenamed “Kyoto”.

According to them, the phone will have a 108MP (S5KHM2) main camera, the same type supplied by Samsung that is found inside the recently announced Moto G60 smartphone. This sensor will be paired with an 8MP camera (S5k4h7), also supplied by Samsung, that pulls double duty as an ultrawide angle camera and a macro camera. The third camera is a 2MP OmniVision (Ov02b1b) depth sensor while the front-facing camera is either a 16MP (ov16a1q) sensor or a 32MP (ov32b) sensor.

The source revealed that “Kyoto” will most likely be the cheapest of the lot while “Berlin” and “Sierra” will be the successors to the Motorola Edge and Edge Plus respectively. We can expect more details to surface in the weeks/months leading up to their launch.

Motorola has been updating its flagships with Android 11 OS lately. Latest one to get it was the Motorola razr 5G. Today is the turn for the Motorola Edge smartphone.

As per a post on a Telegram group(via Piunikaweb), the Dual-SIM model of the standard Motorola Edge with a model number XT2063-3-DS is getting an OTA update in Brazil. This update has a firmware version RPD31.Q4U-39-26-4 and a size of about 2.3GB.

Although there are a lot of devices yet to be updated to the Android 11 according to Motorola’s list, it’s better late than never for the older flagships. In line with that, the Motorola Edge is now getting the latest OS features and it should include the latest security patch as well.

Do note that the update is for Brazil and the Dual-SIM variant, so the users in other regions should wait till the company itself expands the OTA to the respective markets. Motorola began the Android 11 rollout surprisingly with the Motorola G Pro.

Later it brought to devices like the Motorola Edge+(Verizon), Moto G8 & G8 Power. Coming back, the Motorola Edge, which launched last year with Android 10 out of the box, is getting its first major Android upgrade.

That said, we aren’t sure it would get the next Android 12 upgrade like the Edge+ as it has a mid-range Snapdragon 765G chipset. Either way, if you are someone living in Brazil, you can check if your device has got the Android 11 update from Settings > System > Advanced > System update.

The post Motorola Edge gets the Android 11 update appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last year, Motorola announced the Edge+, a Snapdragon 865-powered flagship with a curved display and a 108MP primary rear camera. The phone which launched with Android 10 out of the box is now receiving an Android 11 update.

The update is being rolled out by Verizon and it not only brings all the new features that Android 11 has to offer such as Chat Bubbles, a native screen recorder, revamped media controls, device controls, and new permission settings; the update also brings March 2021’s security patch and fixes some known bugs.

This update is one of two major OS upgrades Motorola has promised the phone will get. It had originally planned to provide only one OS upgrade but after much criticism, it announced it will provide “at least two Android OS upgrades”. Knowing Motorola, we are sure it won’t go past two, and don’t expect the Android 12 update to arrive this year.

The Motorola Edge+ has a 6.7-inch 2340 x 1080 display with a punch hole at the top left corner for a 25MP front-facing camera. Paired with the Snapdragon 865 processor is 12GB of RAM and 256GB of non-expandable storage.

Its 108MP rear camera comes along with an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS, a 16MP AF ultrawide angle camera, and a ToF 3D camera for capturing depth. The phone can record in both 4K and 6K at 30fps.

Motorola ships the phone with a massive 5000mAh battery and it has support for 18W fast wired charging, 15W fast wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging. It also has NFC, Bluetooth 5.1, an audio jack, and stereo speakers.

The phone which launched for $999 is now available for $799.99 on the Motorola US site.

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.

EDITOR’S PICK: Motorola Capri Plus hits FCC, Geekbench, and TÜV Rheinland

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.

In 2019, Motorola launch a wide range of smartphones in various markets. By launching the Motorola Edge and Edge+ also returned to launch flagship phones this year. Today, the company confirmed the names of the smartphones that are eligible to receive the Android 11 OS upgrade.

Among the various phones last year by Motorola, the Android 11 OS update will be only made available to the Motorola Razr (2019), Motorola One Action, Motorola One Vision, and Motorola One Hyper. The list does not include phones like the Moto G7 series, Moto G8 Plus, G8 Play, E6 series, Z4, and One Zoom.

Among the phones launched this year, the Motorola Razr 5G, Motorola Edge, Motorola Edge+, Motorola One 5G, Motorola One Fusion, Motorola One Fusion+, Moto G8, Moto G8 Power, Moto G 5G, Moto G 5G Plus, Moto G Fast, Moto G Power, Moto G Pro, Moto G Stylus, Moto G9, Moto G9 Play, Moto G9 Plus, and Moto G9 Power are mentioned in the list of devices that will be treated with Android 11 OS update. The only Lenovo-branded phone on the list is the Lenovo K12 Note that debuted in the recent past in Saudi Arabia.

Editor’s Pick:  Motorola Capri receives FCC certification; Launch could be near

The Moto E (2020), Moto E6s (2020), Moto G8 Power Lite, Motorola One Vision, and Moto E7 phones that went official this year are not mentioned in the list. Hence, it is unclear whether these devices will receive the Android 11 OS update or not.

Lenovo did not confirm when it will begin rolling out the Android 11 OS update. Probably, the flagship and upper mid-range phones could be the first phones that will be updated to the newest version of Android. Users of all the Motorola phones that are eligible to receive the Android 11 update can visit this link to check whether devices are ready to receive the new software.

The Motorola Razr 5G packs some significant upgrades over its predecessor but the foldable phone is still quite expensive when compared to other foldable phones such as the Galaxy Z Flip 5G and even non-foldable phones. However, now may be the best time to pick up the phone as Amazon has slashed the price.

As seen on the retail giant’s US site, the Motorola Razr 5G (2020) can be purchased for just $999.99. That is $400 off the retail price and a huge discount. The phone is available unlocked, so you can use it with any of the major US carriers. It can be purchased in Blush Gold, Liquid Mercury, and Polished Graphite.

For $999, you get a phone with a 6.2-inch foldable OLED primary display, a 2.7-inch g-OLED Quick View secondary display, a Snapdragon 765G processor with a built-in 5G modem, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, a 48MP primary rear camera, a 20MP selfie camera, and a 2800mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging, and Android 10 with Motorola’s My UX on top.

If a foldable doesn’t appeal to you but you still want a 5G Motorola smartphone, the Motorola Edge is also heavily discounted on Amazon and on Motorola’s own official website.

The phone which launched for $699.99 can now be picked up for just $399.99! That is even cheaper than the newly announced Motorola One 5G that is priced at $444.99 and has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Personally, the Edge is a recommended buy over the Razr 5G as it not only has the same processor but packs more cameras and a much bigger battery with faster charging.

The Motorola Edge which comes in Solar Black has a 6.7-inch curved OLED display with an FHD+ resolution, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a punch hole at the top left corner of the screen that is home to a 25MP camera.

The Snapdragon 765G processor is paired with 6GB of RAM but you also get 256GB of storage which can be expanded via a MicroSD card slot. There are four cameras on the back which include a 64MP primary camera, a 16MP ultrawide angle camera, an 8MP telephoto camera, and a Time of Flight sensor.

The Motorola Edge also has stereo speakers, an audio jack, an in-display fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and a 4500mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging. It also runs Android 10 out of the box.

You can grab the Motorola Razr 5G and Motorola Edge on Amazon or pick up the Edge on Motorola’s official website.

Until a few months ago it was hard to expect, but this year Motorola released several “value for money devices” that can compete with the best affordable phones from Xiaomi and Realme in terms of quality-price ratio. The U.S. company acquired by Lenovo left a lot of people surprised with its new mid-rangers and flagship, including me. In this comparison, we included all the most interesting mid-rangers released by Motorola this year. We are talking about Motorola Edge from the lineup considered Motorola’s comeback in the high-end segment, the Moto G 5G Plus which is the first Motorola 5G affordable phone after the Edge, and the Motorola One Fusion+ offering amazing specifications at a very affordable price.

Motorola Moto G 5G Plus vs Motorola Edge vs Motorola One Fusion+

Design

There is not any doubt: the most impressive design of this trio belongs to the Motorola Edge. Despite winning this design comparison, the Motorola Edge is one of the most beautiful devices released this year. It has a stunningly high screen-to-body ratio, with its display covering almost the 96 percent of the front panel. It also comes with a splash resistant design and an aluminum frame, but unfortunately, it has a plastic back (unlike flagships sporting a glass back). The Motorola Edge has a punch-hole design, Moto G 5G Plus has a dual punch-hole, and Motorola One Fusion+ has a full-screen display thanks to a motorized pop-up camera.

Display

The most advanced display is on the Motorola Edge. This handset is the only one from this comparison to sport an OLED panel, which provides more brilliant colors and deeper blacks. Further, it sports a 90 Hz refresh rate and HDR10 for a great image quality and a smooth viewing experience. Moto G 5G Plus has 90 Hz and HDR10 as well, but it sports an IPS panel instead of an OLED display. Motorola One Fusion+ lacks both the OLED technology and a high refresh rate, so it takes the last place.

Hardware/Software

As it features the most powerful chipset, Motorola Edge wins the hardware comparison, but just by a slight margin. The Motorola Edge has a Snapdragon 765G SoC onboard, which offers slightly better CPU and GPU performances compared to the Snapdragon 765 found on the Moto G 5G Plus. Both the handsets support all 5G frequencies thanks to an integrated 5G modem, they feature up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. Motorola One Fusion+ lacks 5G support and it is powered by an inferior Snapdragon 730G chipset. With all of these handsets, you get Android 10 out of the box with a nearly-stock experience.

Camera

Motorola Edge is the winner even when it comes to the camera comparison. It is not a real high-end camera phone, but it has better secondary sensors, including a telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, a TOF 3D sensor to capture depth info and a 16 MP ultrawide sensor. Right after, we got the Motorola One Fusion+ with a 64 MP quad-camera. But Moto G 5G Plus is the best when it comes to front cameras as it sports a dual ultrawide front camera including a 16 MP main sensor and an 8 MP ultrawide sensor.

Battery

Thanks to its bigger 5000 mAh battery, no 5G support and a standard refresh rate, Motorola One Fusion+ is actually able to offer a longer battery life on a single charge. Moto G 5G Plus comes right after with the same battery capacity, but its components consume more energy.

Price

You can actually find the Motorola Edge globally for less than €600/$684 (6/128 GB), Moto G 5G Plus starts from €399/$455 (4/64 GB), and Motorola One Fusion+ costs €299/$340. If you do not mind about 5G and high refresh rate, Motorola One Fusion+ can let you save a lot of money. But Motorola Edge wins the comparison with its better display, cameras, and hardware. Moto G 5G Plus is the perfect compromise between performance and price.

The post Moto G 5G Plus vs Motorola Edge vs Motorola One Fusion+: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

You do not need a flagship anymore to get a perfect phone. Differences between flagships and upper-midrange phones have thinned in the last year and with the price hikes of the most advanced models, the upper-midrange devices became the main choice. Among the best high-end devices sold at modest prices this year we got the Motorola Edge, the Oppo Find X2 Neo, and the POCO F2 Pro. All offer the power of 5G and advanced hardware, but with a few differences. The first twos come with upper-midrange hardware, while the third is an affordable flagship. Which one should you go for? We will try to give you an answer through this specs comparison.

Motorola Edge vs Oppo Find X2 Neo vs Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro

Design

Motorola Edge looks undoubtedly impressive because it has the highest screen-to-body ratio, but my favorite design in this trio is the Oppo Find X2 Neo. It is more compact, thinner, and lighter than the Motorola Edge: with a thickness of just 7.7 mm, it is one of the thinnest 5G phones ever. And despite packing a battery with a capacity above 4000 mAh, it weighs just 171 grams: that is definitely an engineering miracle. With the absence of a curved screen and a big camera module, as well as less care for details, POCO F2 Pro looks less attractive than its opponents.

Display

Motorola Edge and Oppo Find X2 Neo are actually equipped with better displays than POCO F2 Pro. They feature a higher 90 Hz refresh rate, while POCO F2 Pro lacks it and it offers just 60 Hz. The AMOLED panel of the Motorola Edge looks really great with its Full HD+ resolution and the HDR10 certification: it is very hard to distinguish it from a top-tier flagship. Note that Motorola Edge and Oppo Find X2 Neo have curved punch-hole displays, while POCO F2 Pro has a flat full-screen display and a pop-up selfie camera. It does not have a 90 Hz refresh rate, but it is still a great panel with HDR10+.

Hardware/Software

The hardware is the department in which POCO F2 Pro takes the gold medal and it is the main advantage of the phone. It is fueled by the flagship-class Snapdragon 865 mobile platform paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage. Motorola Edge and Oppo Find X2 Neo are powered by the mid-range Snapdragon 765G: you would not notice the difference in daily use and most of the apps, but only in the most advanced scenarios such as gaming and video rendering. Motorola Edge loses against the Oppo Find X2 Neo because it sports just a half of its RAM (6 GB vs 12 GB). In each case, you get Android 10 out of the box, naturally.

Camera

The best cameras are built on the Oppo Find X2 Neo: it is the only one with OIS, so it offers superior stabilization. It also packs an amazing telephoto sensor with a 2x optical zoom and an ultrawide lens. Right after we got the Motorola Edge with a 64 MP main sensor, a telephoto lens, a TOF 3D sensor, and an ultrawide sensor, but no OIS. POCO F2 Pro is not the best camera phone out there, but unlike its rivals, it is able to record 8K videos.

Battery

POCO F2 Pro wins the battery life comparison because it has a bigger 4700 mAh battery and also because its display has a standard refresh rate. The silver medal goes to the Motorola Edge (but it comes with slower 18W charging), while Oppo Find X2 Neo wins the charging speeds comparison thanks to a 30W fast charging technology and a smaller 4025 mAh battery.

Price

In the global market, Motorola Edge is actually priced €600/$700. Oppo Find X2 Neo costs €700/$792, and POCO F2 Pro starts from just €500/$566. While it surely provides the highest value for money and the highest performance, at the end of the day, POCO F2 Pro is not the most complete phone. Oppo Find X2 Neo looks more complete as it offers a real high-end camera, stereo speakers, a sleek design, and all you can expect from a 2020 high-end phone. On the other hand, Motorola Edge has a longer battery life than Find X2 Neo, but lower-end hardware and cameras, as well as a thicker and heavier design. Note that, unfortunately, Find X2 Neo is mono SIM. Which one would you pick?

In April, the Lenovo-owned Motorola recently unveiled the Motorola Edge and Motorola Edge+ smartphone. Fresh information shared by reliable tipster Ishan Agarwal states that the company is working on another Edge series phone called Motorola Edge Lite. The tipster has revealed some key information of the smartphone.

According to the tipster, the Motorola Edge Lite has a model number of XT2075. He revealed that the smartphone may either feature the Snapdragon 765G or Snapdragon 730G SoC.

A third-party retailer listing of a variant of the same phone has been spotted. The XT2075-3 phone has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage. The listing states it’s a 5G phone. Hence, the device could be equipped with SD765G SoC.

The smartphone has bagged approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. The FCC appearance revealed that it has a minimum capacity battery of 4,700mAh. It is speculated that the phone is codenamed as ‘Nairobi’ and it is preloaded with Android 10 OS. Hopefully, newer reports will reveal more details on the smartphone.

Back in April, Motorola launched its first flagship smartphone in years. This marked the company’s return to the premium segments. But now, reports have been coming in regarding a major issue that is affecting the display of various Motorola Edge+ users.

Users of the flagship device have been complaining about unknown purple blotches and a green tint that appears on the display of the smartphone. This is a major cause of concern for the company since the device costs a hefty $1000 price tag. According to certain Motorola Edge+ owners, purple spots appear on the edges of the display if the device is used for a long while. These eventually disappear, only to come back later on, if the device is still used for a prolonged period of time.

A significant number of users also reported on these purple spots multiplying and even growing in numbers. This isn’t the only issue with the Motorola flagship’s display as certain owners are also experiencing green tints on their smartphones’ display. At the moment, the company has acknowledged the issue and is currently working on a software fix.

One forum administrator even stated that a new software update should fix the display issues soon. The administrator also advised people to not go for an immediate replacement as the problem is likely a software issue and not due to faulty hardware. Thus, even newly purchased Motorola Edge+ units could suffer from the same issue. Unfortunately, the initial software fix which was rolled out, only fixed the issue temporarily, with users reporting on the problems of the display coming back soon after.

Top tier flagships became incredibly expensive but also incredibly powerful. Unlike 2019, this year, Samsung and Huawei launched three variants of their flagship lineups. The most expensive variants are the Huawei P40 Pro+ (which just hitten several European markets) and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. Meanwhile, Motorola is back in the flagship segment after years of silence with its Motorola Edge+. All of these devices carry a price tag superior to €1,000, but are they worth the money asked? And which one should you prefer? We will try to answer these questions through the following specs comparison between Huawei P40 Pro+, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, and Motorola Edge+.

Huawei P40 Pro+ vs Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra vs Motorola Edge+

Design

If I had to make a choice by considering the design only, I would go for the Motorola Edge+. First of all, it has a higher screen-to-body ratio. It is more compact and its rear side is more elegant due to its smaller camera module. But several people may not agree with me because Huawei P40 Pro+ comes with more unique and premium materials (it is made of ceramic). Further, unlike the Motorola Edge+ which is just splash resistant, Huawei P40 Pro+ is waterproof with the IP68 certification. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra should be sturdier thanks to its waterproof certification (IP68) and the Gorilla Glass 6 protection for both front and back glasses, but its dimensions are big, just like its camera module.

Display

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra provides the most impressive display: not only it is wider with its 6.9-inch diagonal, but it also supports a higher 120 Hz refresh rate, despite you can only use it by setting a Full HD+ resolution. The Dynamic AMOLED display of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has the HDR10+ certification and a high Quad HD+ resolution, while Huawei P40 Pro+ and Motorola Edge+ stop at Full HD+. Currently, we believe the only displays which can compete with the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra in the Android world belong to OPPO Find X2 Pro and OnePlus 8 Pro.

Hardware/Software

The Motorola Edge+ has the most interesting hardware department because it is fueled by the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform which has currently no rivals among Android phones. On the other hand, while providing a less powerful chipset, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra comes in a variant with a higher amount of RAM and internal storage: 16 GB and 512 GB respectively. Motorola Edge+ only comes in a configuration with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage, while Huawei P40 Pro+ stops at 8 GB of RAM. Note that if you get the global version of the Huawei P40 Pro+, you won’t get Google services out of the box due to the U.S. ban.

Camera

The most amazing camera (and not only of this comparison) is on board of the Huawei P40 Pro+. It features a 50 MP Penta-camera (the fifth sensor is a TOF 3D sensor) including 10x optical zoom and a 40 MP ultrawide lens. Further, on the front side, the 32 MP selfie snapper is accompanied by another TOF sensor for 3D facial recognition. The silver medal goes to the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra offering a 108 MP quad camera with a 48 MP periscope lens, 4x optical zoom supporting 8K video recording, and awesome stabilization.

Battery

Since it packs a huge 5000 mAh battery and a less energy-demanding display than Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, Motorola Edge+ is more satisfying in terms of battery life. However, the Motorola Edge+ has slower charging speeds (just 18W with wired charging and 15W with wireless charging), while Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and Huawei P40 Pro+ charge at 40W and 45W, respectively.

Price

Huawei P40 Pro+ is priced €1399 globally, Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra starts from $1199/€1099, and Motorola Edge+ costs $1199/€1200. Is it worth getting one of these handsets? Well, if you need an astonishing camera quality or you are a power user, then yes. But if you do not want the max you can get, there are a lot of more affordable devices that will let you save a lot of money while still giving you nearly perfect user experience.

Despite Huawei P40 Pro+ does not have Google services, it remains a very impressive phone due to its ceramic design, better cameras, and very fast wireless charging technologies. Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra has the best display, while Motorola Edge+ has longer battery life than S20 Ultra but inferior cameras and display. What do you think about actual top tier flagships? Do they cost too much or they deserve a chance? Let us know by using the comment box below.

Motorola‘s return to premium smartphone segments arrives with the new Motorola Edge+. It was the company’s first flagship handset in years and the company has put a lot of effort into it, which shows since its DxOMark camera ratings are even higher than the Google Pixel 4 and Apple iPhone 11 with a total score of 113 points.

The Motorola Edge+ sports a triple camera setup on the rear. The primary lens is a 108 megapixel sensor that captures images through quad bins and outputs at 27 megapixels. Taking advantage of the high pixel count, the device also offers short zoom as well. The handset also sports an 8 megapixel telephoto lens that delivers 3x optical zoom and its last sensor is the 16 megapixel ultra wide angle lens.

In the camera testing, the Motorola Edge+ scored 119 points in photography and 101 points in videography. The flagship device was praised for its image sensors exposure, color accuracy, fast and accurate autofocus, and overall noise reduction in images. With the handset being able to capture videos in 6K at 30fps, its exposure in this regard was again commended.

The stabilization on the Motorola Edge+ received a great score, with color accuracy and accurate autofocus being well received as well. With such a high score, the device is undoubtedly a true flagship from the company. DxOMark did notice a few flaws here and there but offered a decent review of the Motorola handset.

Over the past couple of years, Motorola has focused on low-end to mid-range smartphone segments. However, this year, the company wants to get back into the premium segment in the world’s second-largest smartphone market. So Motorola has officially released the Motorola Edge Plus in India at a hefty price tag of Rs. 74,999 ($991). This is the company’s first real flagship since the launch of the Moto Z2 Force in India back in February 2018.

The Motorola Edge+ gets its name from its extremely curved display. The company claims that the display is curved at 90-degrees, so it extends to the sides. While these curved edges are visually appealing, they are not without purpose. The edges support virtual button-like features and can be used as trigger buttons during gameplay too. The 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED display supports 90Hz refresh rate, DCI-P3 color gamut, and HDR10+ support. You also get an in-display fingerprint sensor and a single punch-hole selfie shooter on the top-left corner of the screen. So in all aspects, this is a flagship-grade display!

As for its specs, the Motorola Edge Plus is powered by the latest Snapdragon 865 5G processor with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage. Motorola is offering just a single memory variant for the flagship right now.

The Motorola Edge+ comes with a capable triple-camera setup featuring the large Samsung HMX 108MP f/1.8 sensor as the primary shooter with OIS which is paired with a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle shooter that’s also a macro camera, and an OIS-equipped 8MP telephoto sensor capable of 3x optical zoom. A 25MP sensor takes care of your selfie needs up front.

The phone comes with a 5000mAh battery on board with 18W of wired charging and 15W of wireless charging support. It’s disappointing to see an expensive flagship like the Edge+ featuring just an 18W charger which is significantly slower than its rivals. As for software, the Motorola Edge Plus runs on Android 10 out of the box with at least two Android updates in the future. So in terms of software, the phone is promised to receive up to Android 12.

The Motorola Edge+ starts at Rs. 74999 ($991) in India for its 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. There are two color options: Smoky Sangria and Thunder Grey. The company is offering a special Rs. 7500 ($99) cashback to ICICI Credit card users on both EMI and non-EMI payments on Flipkart. Pre-orders are already underway and the phone will go on sale on May 26.

In 2020, if you talk about Chinese manufacturers, you are not talking only about affordable flagships anymore. Chinese companies actually release top-tier flagships that have nothing to envy to the most respected brands outside China. After comparing the Motorola Edge+ to the OnePlus 8 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro, we decided to compare it to the remaining top Chinese flagships released in 2020: Huawei P40 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. Through this specs comparison, you will learn all their key features, strong and weak points of this amazing trio of flagships. After checking it, you can let us know your opinion and which one would you pick by using the comment box below the post.

Motorola Edge+ vs Huawei P40 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro

Design

Motorola Edge+ has an astonishing design. It is my favorite one because it offers one of the highest screen-to-body ratios ever seen on a phone. And it is naturally built with premium materials, including glass for the back and aluminum for the frame. Right after, if we only consider the look, there is Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro with a minimalistic design and a curved screen just like the Motorola Edge+. I do not like the Huawei P40 Pro so much because of its huge camera module, but it is the only phone from this trio to be waterproof with the IP68 certification. While Motorola Edge+ is just splash resistant, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro does not offer any kind of protection against water.

Display

If we talk about displays, it is a very close fight between Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and Motorola Edge+. They offer very similar specifications on the paper, including the same aspect ratio, a Full HD+ resolution, the HDR10+ certification, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Huawei P40 Pro offers a high refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution as well, but its rivals have slightly more interesting front panels and smaller punch holes. On the other hand, Huawei P40 Pro is the only offering infrared face recognition thanks to the additional sensor placed inside is dual punch hole.

Hardware/Software

There is no way the Kirin 990 chipset found on the Huawei P40 Pro can compete with the Snapdragon 865 found on Motorola Edge+ and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro when it comes to performance. You should get more or less the same performance with the Motorola Edge+ and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. The former offers a stock Android experience, while Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro has the highly-customized MIUI 11 out of the box. On the other hand, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro offers more internal storage in its high-end variant (512 GB). Only the internal storage of the Huawei P40 Pro (which goes up to 512 GB) can be expanded with an external card.

Camera

Despite the lower resolution of its main sensor, Huawei P40 has the highest camera capabilities. Its camera setup co-engineered with Leica is composed of a 50 MP main sensor, a 40 MP ultrawide lens, a 12 MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom, a TOF 3D sensor, and dual OIS. It provides a stunning photo quality in every environment. Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and Motorola Edge+ are more interesting when it comes to video recording (they can record videos up to 6K and 8K resolution, respectively), with the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro offering a slightly more advanced rear camera department but an inferior front camera. Huawei P40 Pro wins the selfie comparison as well.

Battery

With an amazing 5000 mAh battery, Motorola Edge+ is the king of battery life. It supports both fast charging and wireless charging, but it does not provide blazing charging speeds, unlike Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro and Huawei P40 Pro.

Price

Motorola Edge+ is sold for €1200/$999 globally, Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro sells for €999/$1081, and Huawei P40 Pro begins at €999 as well. On the paper, Huawei P40 Pro looks slightly more impressive since it is waterproof, it has better cameras, 3D facial recognition, and more “exclusive” features. But it lacks Google services in the global market and this is a big issue. Motorola Edge+ and Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro are very close: the former offers a bigger battery and an amazing design, the latter has more internal storage in its higher-end version and potentially better cameras (but this has to be verified). Which one would you choose?

After years of silence, Motorola is back in the flagship segment with the Motorola Edge+. We are not talking about an affordable flagship, but a top-tier one offering maxed out specifications. We are still far from its launch in the market as the device will officially go on sale in May. But a lot of people are already wondering whether it is worth waiting for it or opting for other Chinese flagships already available to purchase. We think there is no better way to answer such a question than comparing the new Motorola Edge+ with the above-mentioned handsets. With the same budget, you can actually get an OnePlus 8 Pro or even an Oppo Find X2 Pro. Which one is worth the money asked and which is the best device? Go ahead with this comparison to find out.

Motorola Edge+ vs OnePlus 8 Pro vs Oppo Find X2 Pro

Design

If you love stylish phones and you need the most unique design, go for the Oppo Find X2 Pro without thinking twice. It comes in two variants: one with a ceramic body and one with a vegan leather body. And in both versions, it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. Oppo Find X2 Pro has definitely the most impressive aesthetics, but OnePlus 8 Pro and Motorola Edge+ are still very beautiful handsets. All come with a punch-hole display and very narrow bezels, but Motorola Edge+ has a higher screen-to-body ratio and attractive curved edges, as the name suggests. However, while Oppo Find X2 Pro and OnePlus 8 Pro are waterproof, Motorola Edge+ is only splash resistant.

Display

With the Oppo Find X2 Pro and the OnePlus 8 Pro, you actually get a better display than Motorola Edge+. In both cases, we are talking about a 10-bit panel with a high Quad HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. OnePlus 8 Pro has a slightly wider panel with a 6.78-inch diagonal, while Oppo Find X2 Pro has a 6.7-inch display just like the Motorola Edge+. The Edge+ has a lower display resolution and even a lower refresh rate, so it is undoubtedly inferior. But with all of these devices, you get a rich image quality with the support of the HDR10+ standard.

Hardware/Software

The hardware side of Motorola Edge+, OnePlus 8 Pro, and Oppo Find X2 Pro does not have compromises. All are equipped with a Snapdragon 865 chipset and they offer up to 12 GB of RAM, so you get essentially the same performance level. Oppo Find X2 Pro offers more internal storage as it goes up to 512 GB, while its two rivals stop at 256 GB. Motorola Edge+ and OnePlus 8 Pro offer a nearly-stock Android experience with Android 10 out of the box, while the Android 10 version of the Oppo Find X2 Pro is customized by ColorOS 7 offering a different user interface. These devices are all 5G-enabled thanks to a Snapdragon X55 modem, but in the global market, OnePlus 8 Pro is the only with a dual SIM slot.

Camera

On the paper, the most impressive camera department belongs to the Oppo Find X2 Pro: it boasts two 48 MP sensors and a stunning periscope lens with up to 5x optical zoom. But hardware is not the only thing to consider when it comes to photo quality. Motorola Edge+ and OnePlus 8 Pro are still amazing camera phones, each with its strong points. The software optimization will be very important to establish which one wins the camera battle. But unfortunately, we still have no chance to test all of these devices thoroughly: the Motorola Edge+ will hit the shelves in May, so there is still no way to test it for us.

Battery

With its impressive 5000 mAh battery and a display with a lower resolution and a lower refresh rate, Motorola Edge+ will most likely offer a way longer battery life than Oppo Find X2 Pro and OnePlus 8 Pro. The OnePlus 8 Pro comes right after with a 4510 mAh battery. Oppo Find X2 Pro still offers a good battery life; it comes with the fastest wired charging technology, but unlike the OnePlus 8 Pro and the Motorola Edge+, it does not support wireless charging (neither reverse charging).

Price

Oppo Find X2 Pro and Motorola Edge+ carry a €1200/$1300 price tag globally (Motorola Edge+ will be priced $999 in the U.S.), while OnePlus 8 Pro begins at €919/$995. There is not a definitive winner for this comparison: each device has its pros and cons. The Oppo Find X2 Pro has a more impressive design and a great camera with high zoom capabilities, as well as a unique design and an amazing display; it is my favorite one for these reasons, but it does not support wireless charging. OnePlus 8 Pro has a higher value for money and a very similar specs sheet to Oppo Find X2 Pro, even though it lacks the unique design and 5x optical zoom. Motorola Edge+ has an inferior display, but it offers a bigger battery. Which one would you pick?

Recently, Motorola unveiled the Motorola Edge series of smartphone. The Edge+ phone is a topnotch flagship phone that comes with impressive features like waterfall display, Snapdragon 865, 108-megapixel triple cameras and a huge battery. Country Head of Motorola India, Prashant Mani took to Twitter that the Motorola Edge+ will be coming soon to India.

The sales of some new phones are likely to begin in new phones including the OnePlus 8 series in May in India as the government is expected to ease down the lockdown in certain parts of the country. Hence, there is a possibility that the Motorola Edge+ may go arrive in India in May or June.

After series of leaks and rumours, Motorola has now finally launched its much-awaited Motorola Edge and Edge+ smartphones, marking the company’s re-entry into the premium flagship smartphone market.

Motorola Edge+

The Motorola Edge+ is the flagship smartphone from the company which comes with a curved 6.7-inch Full HD+ OLED display with 2400 x 1080 pixels screen resolution, HDR10+ support, 90Hz refresh rate and 21:9 aspect ratio. It also comes with in-display fingerprint sensor for added protection.

The curved screen isn’t for the aesthetics purpose but comes with interesting features. It shows incoming call and alarm alerts as well as shows the battery charging levels. It also enables users to switch apps with just a swipe.

Being a flagship product, the device comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, coupled with 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.0 internal storage. It packs 5,000mAh battery which supports 18W TurboPower fast charging as well as 15W wireless charging and 5W wireless power charging.

On the front side, the device features a 25MP snapper taking care of selfies and video calling. The phone supports NR mmWave and sub-6Hz 5G bands along with the faster Wi-Fi 6 wireless connectivity. Although the phone isn’t IP-rated, the company claims that it is water repellent.

Motorola Edge

This one is a mid-range offering from the company which also features a 6.7-inch Full HD+ OLED display with 90Hz refresh rate and 21:9 aspect ratio. However, it lacks the HDR10+ support but comes with in-display fingerprint sensor.

Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 SoC, along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Unlike the Plus variant, this one supports storage expansion using a microSD card slot. On the front, the Android 10-powered smartphone comes with a 25MP selfie snapper.

In the camera department, the smartphone features a 64MP primary camera alongside a 16MP ultra wide-angle camera and an 8MP telephoto lens with 2X optical zoom. The 5G smartphone is powered by a 4,500mAh battery and comes with 18W TurboPower fast charging technology but lacks wireless charging support.

Pricing and Availability

The Motorola Edge comes in two color options — Solar Black and Midnight Magenta while the Plus variant is being offered in Smoky Sangria and Thunder Grey colors. The Motorola Edge+ is priced at $999 and will be available for purchase from 14th May in the United States as Verizon exclusive.

Motorola’s One series will also get new members this year and one of them will launch as the Motorola One Mid.

The phone will have a 6.53-inch 2340 x 1080 display but it is not known what design it will have. Motorola has adopted the pop-up selfie camera design, the punch-hole design, and waterdrop notch design for the One series; so this new device may have any of the above.
