Motorola Edge, Motorola Edge+ rumoured specs, features and price

Motorola was supposed to launch its flagship smartphone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this year. The company had sent out invites to publications heading to Spain to attend the conference but the COVID-19 outbreak led MWC to be scrapped. Since then, there has been a flood of leaks including hands-on photos and videos that gave us a good idea about what the flagships may offer.

The latest report states the Motorola Edge Plus will feature the Snapdragon 865 (that ticks off 5G support), a 5,000mAh battery with up to 12GB RAM. You can expect sharply curved edges going by the teaser video released by Motorola. The display itself is expected to be quite big at 6.7-inches. On the back, the Edge Plus is rumoured to pack a 108MP main camera along with wide-angle and telephoto lenses in tow.

Leakster Evan Blass also came out with leaked renders of the flagship smartphone that showed a punch-hole selfie camera and a headphone jack. The base variant named Motorola Edge is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 765, the mid-range 5G SoC Qualcomm launched last year and could be offered in a 6GB RAM variant.

While all this is certainly exciting, it remains to be seen when these smartphones will be coming to India. After the Moto Z Force, the company stopped launching flagships in India. The Moto Razr that costs above a lakh can be an outlier.
