Ever since Lenovo acquired Motorola from Google in early 2014, the company has been releasing mid-range devices leave alone the Moto Razr Flip. Motorola is making a big come back to compete for the big dogs. The company’s new Edge Plus (along with the slightly less powerful Edge) marks Motorola’s reentry into the top tier high table where the likes of Samsung and Apple sit.
The Edge Plus will cost over UGX 3.8 million ($999), which has a 6.7-inch, FHD+ OLED panel, a Snapdragon 865 processor, 5G support with mmWave radios, a 90Hz refresh rate, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, a 5,000mAh battery, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack. Now those are some high-end specs. There’s also a triple rear camera system, which is led by a 108-megapixel sensor that looks to compete (theoretically) with phones like Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra or Xiaomi’s Mi Mix Alpha.
With 6.7-inch display the Edge Plus is the biggest Motorola has ever put on a phone and this will be a big differentiator as it also comes with an “edge display” design. While curved screens aren’t really new — Samsung , Huawei and OnePlus have had them for years — what Motorola is doing here is a much more aggressive design, similar to the “waterfall”-style displays that companies like Huawei Mate 30 or Oppo have been using. The company claims that the display curves at an almost 90-degree angle down the side of the phone.
Alongside the Edge Plus is the regular Motorola Edge, which takes the same base design — including the “edge”-style 6.7-inch display — but with specs that are just generally a step down across the board.
This comes with a Snapdragon 765, instead of the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 865 in the Edge Plus. There’s only 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, instead of the 12GB / 256GB configuration that the Edge Plus offers. The battery is smaller at 4,500mAh, and there’s no wireless charging support. Lastly, the triple cameras on the back are the main sensor is only a 64-megapixel lens, while the 8-megapixel telephoto sensor can only shoot 2x optical zoom and lacks OIS. (The 16-megapixel ultrawide and time-of-flight sensor appear to be the same on both devices, though.)
