Motorola's new flagship is here: Edge+ without an edge

Motorola's new flagship is here: Edge+ without an edge Motorola has announced their new flagship smartphone that carries the same name as the predecessor. The Edge+ moniker is an odd one, since the one main thing they've changed about the phone is the display flowing over each edge.

Nevertheless, the new and improved Edge+ seeks to challenge the large phone category recently occupied by Samsung's greatest, Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Motorola even has stylus support for the new Edge+, albeit an optional extra if you decide to go that route. That also means there is no internal slot for the stylus like on the Ultra.

Specs-wise we're looking at a Snapdragon 8 gen 1 powered Android with a 6.7 inch Full HD+ display that offers an up to 144 Hz refresh rate. In terms of RAM you can choose between 8 or 12 gigs, and the storage options range from 128 to 512 gigabytes.

Other features include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, a 4800 milliamp hour battery with fast charging, 15-watt wireless charging as well as reverse charging that can charge the optional stylus.

Camera system now offers a 50 megapixel default shooter and another 50 MP ultrawide camera. Third sensor on the back is a measly 2 MP for depth-sensing and isn't available for photos. This means that unlike most of its competitors it does not offer a zoom camera.
