Motorola is renowned for its diverse range of Android smartphones, consistently offering reliable performance at competitive prices. The latest addition to its lineup, the Motorola Edge (2024), continues this trend with notable upgrades, including advanced AI integration. This new model is designed to meet the demands of users seeking a high-performing, all-day phone with excellent camera capabilities and quick charging features.
Design and Display
The all-new Motorola Edge (2024) features a near-borderless curved display, ensuring a comfortable grip and a premium aesthetic. Wrapped in a stylish, vegan leather back in Midnight Blue, it offers an upscale look without the premium price tag. Built tough with an IP68 rating, the Edge (2024) is resistant to dust and can survive unexpected dips in water, such as a spilled drink or a quick dunk.
A standout feature is the “Quick Button” on the side, allowing users to launch their favorite app or trigger a specific action with a single press. Whether checking messages or jumping to social media, the Quick Button adds convenience to the user experience.
Maintaining the same expansive 6.6-inch endless edge display as its predecessor, the Edge (2023), the new model offers FHD+ resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate that adjusts intelligently to optimize battery life. Complemented by Dolby Atmos technology, the display promises a captivating visual and audio experience.
Camera Specs
The Motorola Edge (2024) is equipped with a dual-camera system on the back. The main camera boasts a 50MP sensor, accompanied by a 13MP ultrawide camera for capturing expansive scenes. For selfies, there’s a high-resolution 32MP camera with autofocus.
To enhance low-light photography, the Edge (2024) features Motorola’s Auto Night Vision technology combined with Sony’s LYTIA 700C image sensor. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Adaptive Stabilization powered by AI ensure blur-free photos and videos by analyzing camera movement and fine-tuning stabilization.
