Motorola Gets Back Into Flagship Game with edge+

Apr 22, 2020, 11:00 AM by Rich Brome @richbrome

The Motorola edge+ is the company's first truly top-end phone in several years. It will be exclusive to Verizon in the US and go on sale May 14th. It's being introduced alongside the slightly more affordable — but still very high-end — "edge" model, which will be available in the US unlocked this summer. Both phones have the same 6.7-inch OLED "Endless Edge" display that curves a full 90º around the sides. An Edge Gaming feature adds virtual shoulder buttons to the curved display edge for games. The full-HD display also supports 90 Hz refresh and HDR10+. Both phones also have 5G, a water-repellent design, 3.5mm headset jack, NFC, and stereo speakers with Waze tuning that Motorola claims are the loudest of any smartphone.

The edge+ for Verizon supports both mmWave and sub-6 GHz 5G, is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, has 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and a 5,000 mAh battery. It also has 256 GB of UFS 3.0 storage, 18W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. It has a 108 megapixel main camera, a 16 megapixel combo wide and macro camera, an 8 megapixel 3x telephoto camera, and a 25 megapixel front camera. It can record 6K video, slow-motion (120 fps) video at full-HD resolution, and has a portrait mode in video . It will be available from Verizon in Smoky Sangria and Thunder Gray, starting May 14th, for $999.
The edge is powered by a Snapdragon 765 chip with integrated support for all US sub-6 GHz 5G networks. It has 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, a memory card slot, 4,500 mAh battery, and 18W fast charging. It has a 64 megapixel main camera, a 16 megapixel combo wide and macro camera, an 8 megapixel 2x telephoto camera, and a 25 megapixel front camera. It can record in 4K using either the main or wide-angle camera. It will be available unlocked this summer in Midnight Magenta and Solar Black. Pricing to be announced.
