New teams redefine the edges in favor of gamers
Motorola has differentiated itself in the market by offering equipment that ranges from the most accessible price points to those of the intermediate range that could well compete with the high-end ones, such as the Motorola One Zoom. As such, it had long since abandoned this category, until the launch of the recent Razr, but undoubtedly this is a team that perhaps did not fully adapt to the most enthusiastic users and especially video gamers, hence the company remotely based in Chicago, introduced its new Edge and Edge +.
Regarding technical specifications, these teams include:
Edge
- 5G sub-6Ghz
- Edge Endless 6.7 ”90Hz display with HDR10
- 64 MP camera with triple camera system (Telephoto, Ultrawide, Macro Vision)
- Snapdragon 765 processor
- 6GB Ram + 128GB internal storage
- Stereo speakers powered with Waves Audio
- 4500 mAh battery
Edge +
- 6.7 ”90 Hz Edge Endless Display with HDR10 +
- 108 MP camera with triple camera system (Telephoto, Ultrawide, Macro Vision)
- Snapdragon 865 processor
- 12 GB of Ram + 256 GB of internal storage
- Stereo speakers powered with Waves Audio
- 5000 mAh battery
Featuring the Motorola Edge +, the new Endless Edge display wraps the device on both sides with a virtually 90 ° waterfall fold finish for a more immersive viewing experience that offers a 21: 9 aspect ratio with HDR10 + and a refresh rate. 90 Hz screen.
In turn, it will have a new group of My UX software functions that allow you to scroll up or down from the edge to view notifications or switch applications. The edges of the screen also light up to show you the battery charge status, incoming calls, alarms, and notifications.
One of the things that we liked the most is the new Moto Game Time experience that allows you to rotate the phone to use it horizontally as a console with two additional customizable buttons located on the upper edge of the screen edge and if you do not want to use them you can deactivate the Infinite mode.
On the other hand, the GRAMMY Award-winning Waves audio technology promises a louder and clearer sound.
With this equipment, Motorola has redefined the camera system for photos and videos, bringing it as close as possible to a professional DSLR. The main camera with a 108 MP sensor is the highest resolution camera a terminal has ever been equipped with. It integrates its well-known Quad Pixel technology that quadruples light sensitivity. The high-resolution optical zoom meanwhile allows you to capture more from afar thanks to the 8 MP lens. Finally, the 16MP ultra-wide angle lens uses Macro Vision for close-up, personalized shots.
Not forgetting content creators, the Motorola Edge + records in 6K and integrates advanced video stabilization even combining OIS and EIS for better low-light video quality. It also allows you to capture high resolution photos while recording video.
The camera comes with software features and functions, such as:
- Prolonged exposure
- Video portrait mode with bokeh effect
- And the dual OIS function of the main camera and the telephoto camera
The edge + battery has the TurboPower system and wireless charging, plus the ability to share power with other devices.
The interesting thing about the operating system is that, as usual, it does not add superfluous software components or duplicate applications; simply Android 10 in its purest version and My UX that allows users to personalize their experience. It includes all Moto Experiences such as turning on the flashlight with a simple shake, to open the camera by simply turning the wrist. Now with Motorola Edge +, new interactions are added, such as displaying borders and changing fonts, colors, icon shapes and animations of fingerprint sensors.
The Motorola Edge for its part will offer camera, entertainment and performance experiences close to that of its brother, since it has the same 6.7 "screen with infinity edge effect and the same audio experience. It also offers the power of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 with 5G connectivity for frequencies below 6 GHz, 4500 mAh battery and a triple camera system with a 64 MP main lens, a 16 MP ultra-wide angle lens with Macro Vision and an 8 MP lens for telephones.
The Motorola Edge + will be available in the United States from May 14 and the Edge will begin its distribution in some markets in the same month. In the case of LATAM it will be in the coming months for both smartphones.
