Motorola has not had a flagship mobile phone on the market for a few years. However, today the company officially announced the Motorola Edge and Edge+ with Snapdragon, fantastic cameras, and more. Renderings of the Motorola Edge+ were leaked two months ago, revealing some of its features. But this time we have official information.
The Motorola Edge+ is the real flagship phone and features a Snapdragon 865 processor, 12 GB Ram, 256 GB memory, and a 17 cm FHD AMOLED screen with a “waterfall” curve on each side, a 24 MP Selfie camera port and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. It also features an 18W wireless charging station and a triple camera system.
This configuration is controlled by a 108 MP sensor together with a 16 MP ultra-wide-angle shutter and an 8 MP telephoto lens. All this is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery. It even offers wireless charge reversal. Here are some pictures:
Compared to the Motorola Edge+, the capabilities of the Edge are cleverly reduced to keep the price down. It has the same screen and overall design but uses a Snapdragon 765 to ensure 5G and good performance. All models are equipped with Android 10, 4, or 6 GB RAM and 128 GB memory. It also has a 64 MP camera and the same two additional sensors as the Edge+. However, the regular Edge does not have a wireless charger for its 4500 mAh battery.
