Tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. Motorola will present a new premium smartphone that has been craving for weeks due to numerous leaks. A lot had already been leaked, just as much and more to the new streak of hope on the Motorola horizon has tonight in advance of the online launch already confirmed.
The colleagues from androidcentral a detailed hands-on of the new premium smartphone Motorola Edge +. And that’s it. The reviewers are blown away by the new $ 1,000 phone from the Lenovo subsidiary. The portal writes that it has not been so enthusiastic about a new Motorola cell phone for a long time. The last time Motorola was so impressive was in the days of the second generation Moto X. So what does this exciting Motorola mobile phone offer that could really shake the technology world again?
Nothing special, but it’s about the name that publishes this smartphone: Motorola has installed a brand-new Snapdragon 865 together with a 5G modem with a full 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM for the most demanding computing operations in the new super flagship. Data is stored internally on the 256 GB UFS 3.0 memory. According to the portal, the built-in 5,000 mAh battery should ensure a runtime of up to two days with reference to Motorola. This can be supplied with new energy via an 18-watt power supply, but cannot keep up with other current flagships in view of peak charging capacities of up to 30 watts and more. The Motorola Edge + charges up to 15 watts wirelessly.
Motorola Edge +: Curvy display with 90 Hertz refresh rate
When reading the article, it quickly turns out that the edge display of the Motorola Edge + is the absolute highlight. Because the curved display not only offers all the advantages of this type of display, but edge haters can switch off the curved sides within the settings. Then the visualized part of the smartphone lies flat. The panel is a 90 Hz OLED display with a screen size of 6.7 inches and Full HD + resolution. Here, however, the reviewer criticizes the negative and wishes for a 120 Hz display with Quad HD resolution.
Another novelty is Motorola’s user interface called My UX, which is pre-installed with Android 10 at the factory. In addition to software features loved by fans, such as the Moto Actions, according to the reviewer, this allows new controls for adapting app symbols, system colors, fonts and other visual accents.
It is also interesting to look at the built-in camera in the 203-gram smartphone. Because buyers get a triple optical zoom and a time-of-flight sensor; absolute premium equipment. The triple camera consists of a 108-megapixel sensor, an ultra-wide-angle sensor with 16 megapixels, which should also function as a macro sensor and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with the same 3x optical zoom.
The published hands-on ends with a mixed verdict. On the one hand, one is enthusiastic about the strong features from Motorola. The Edge + is said to bring Motorola back into the flagship league. On the other hand, the update guidelines have not yet been fully clarified. Because for the $ 1,000 cell phone, Motorola only makes its update promise for $ 200 to $ 300 cell phones: A major version update of Android is guaranteed here. The Motorola Edge + definitely gets Android 11; everything else is in the stars. However, this guarantee is not unusual for Android smartphones. We will soon be able to get our own picture of the new Motorola mobile phone and hope for tomorrow’s presentation of the local prices and possible further versions.
It is bitter within the industry, but it happens again and again and can affect everyone: a device under an embargo is tested in advance, the article is written, the photos are taken and then it can happen that the publication date is incorrect in the content Management System (CMS) is set and there is an embargo break. Meanwhile, the androidcentral colleague’s article has been taken offline, but due to the numerous screenshots circulating on Twitter and a copy of the article that is still publicly available, we decided to go with the topic, the data and numbers, and the assessment of the reviewer to take up and report on in this article.
