Motorola Edge With 90Hz Display Snapdragon 865 108Mp Camera Goes Official

Thanks to the horde of flagship phones and their increasing prices, Motorola decided to water down its popular Moto Z-lineup with mid-range specs. The company hasn’t launched a flagship phone in years and that changes today with the Motorola Edge+. This is a fresh attempt at building a well-rounded and feature-packed flagship phone, complete with a modern display, Snapdragon 865 chipset, a high-megapixel camera, and wireless charging.

Starting off with the design, you will definitely get some OnePlus 8-like vibes from the latest Motorola Edge devices. Motorola Edge+ includes a curved display with a punch-hole on the front and a quad-camera module on the rear. The fingerprint sensor sits under the display and you also get a 3.5mm headphone jack onboard.

Under the hood, Motorola Edge+ is powered by the Snapdragon 865 chipset, coupled with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage. There’s also a huge 5,000mAh battery on board, along with 18W wired and 15W wireless charging. Yeah, Motorola Edge+ brings along wireless charging support as well, making a well-rounded flagship phone.

The company has also launched a mid-range 5G phone, the Motorola Edge, alongside its newest flagship. It retains the same design and display elements, including curved edges and a 90Hz refresh rate. However, you will notice some key differences under the hood and in the camera department when compared to the Plus variant.

Motorola Edge is powered by the Snapdragon 765G chipset from Qualcomm, paired with just 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage as opposed to the 12GB+256GB configuration of the Edge+. There’s 5G support on board as well but the device only supports sub-6GHz frequencies and not mmWave ones.

As some of you may already know, Motorola is all set to take on the other true flagships from the likes of Samsung and OnePlus. So, Motorola Edge+ has been priced at $999 (around Rs. 76,500) in the US and comes in two attractive colorways, namely Thunder Grey and Smoky Sangria. It will go on sale (via The Verge) from 14th May exclusively on Verizon.
