The Motorola Edge+ is an Android phablet developed by Motorola Mobility, a subsidiary of Lenovo.[1][2]

History[]

Renders of the phone were leaked in March, a month prior to the phone's anticipated launch on the mobile review blog Price Baba.[3]

On 13 April, Motorola put out a tweet announcing a virtual launch for its next flagship phone on 22 April. The phone was originally meant to be launched at the Mobile World Congress in February but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

On 21 April, a day prior to the scheduled event, a blog post detailing the phone's features appeared on Motorola's blog before it was pulled down.[5][6][7]

Specifications[]

Hardware[]

The Edge+ uses the Snapdragon 865 processor with the Adreno 650 GPU. The sole storage option is 256 GB of UFS 3.0 which is non-expandable, paired with 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The display is an OLED panel with HDR10+ support, featuring an optical (under-screen) fingerprint sensor. A 6.7-inch (170mm) 1080p screen is used, with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The battery capacity is 5000 mAh; wired fast charging is supported over USB-C at 18W, while wireless charging is supported at 15W. Stereo speakers and a 3.5mm audio jack are also included. The Edge+'s camera setup consists of a 108 MP wide sensor, a 16 MP ultrawide sensor, an 8 MP telephoto sensor, and a time-of-flight sensor. The front camera uses a 27.1 MP sensor.

Software[]

The Edge+ runs on a near-stock version of Android 10, with custom features in the pre-installed Moto app.

Reception[]

Chaim Gartenberg of The Verge gave the Edge+ a score of 7.5/10, praising the camera performance and battery life while criticizing the Verizon exclusivity and lack of waterproofing. He wrote that "In many ways, the new Motorola Edge Plus is a phone that's unlike anything Motorola has made before. But at the same time, it's also a phone that's very much like every other Android flagship on the market".[8]

The Edge+ received an overall score of 113 from DXOMARK, with a photo score of 119 and video score of 101, tying it with the Samsung Galaxy S10+.[9]
