Motorola Edge S Launches As The World S First Smartphone With Snapdragon 870 5G Soc

Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon 870 chipset, a refresh of the Snapdragon 865+ chipset, earlier last week. And now, Lenovo-backed Motorola has launched the world’s first smartphone powered by this 5G chipset. Motorola Edge S is the first smartphone with the Snapdragon 870 5G chipset under the hood. It also includes a 90Hz display, a quad-camera setup, and a really attractive price tag.

Motorola Edge S features a gradient back panel, available in blue (Emerald Light) and white (Snow and Mist) color variants. There’s only a quad-camera setup on the rear, a dual-cam punch-hole on the front, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. This sensor also doubles as the power button.

The Motorola Edge S has been priced starting at CNY 1,999 (~Rs. 22,500) for the 6GB+128GB base variant. You will have to spend CNY 2,399 (~Rs. 27,000) and CNY 2,799 (~Rs. 31,500) for the 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB variants respectively.
