Motorola is apparently cooking up something big with its new Edge series flagship, and if the leaks are anything to go by, it's about to give Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra a run for its money. From what I've seen in the leaks, notably from Android Headlines, the Motorola Edge 50 Pro — likely to hit the US shelves as the Motorola Edge Plus (2024) — is not just a phone; it's a statement.
Sticking to their guns with design, Motorola isn't shy about keeping what works. The sleek, curved display that’s been a hallmark of the Edge series? It’s still there, and honestly, why change something so visually stunning and instantly recognisable?
Now, let’s talk about these new design elements — they're simply intriguing! That purple variant with its faux leather finish has me thinking of Motorola’s recent forays into foldables. And the black model with a sandstone finish? It’s giving me serious OnePlus nostalgia. But it's the white model that really catches my eye. That platinum-esque frame is downright classy, and I can’t help but wonder if they're channelling OnePlus 11’s Marble Odyssey Edition or something equally luxurious.
The leaked images reveal a camera setup that’s understated yet sophisticated, much like what we’ve seen on the Oppo Find X5. The design language here is all about harmony and elegance.
Motorola Edge 50 Pro specs (rumoured)
Now onto the specs, and boy, are they impressive! A 6.7-inch OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate is top-tier, and it's powered by the formidable Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. A whopping 12GB of RAM and a 50-megapixel primary camera just add to the allure.
But the real game-changer is the charging speed. We're talking 125W wired charging in a slim chassis, blowing current offerings from Samsung and Apple out of the water. And 50W wireless charging? That's unheard of!
Motorola Edge 50 Pro release date
The April 3 release in China is circled on my calendar, but I’m itching to know when it hits the US market.
Motorola's pricing strategy has always been aggressive, and given the success of the last model, I’m excited to see if they keep up the trend. If they do, the Motorola Edge Plus (2024) or Motorola Edge 50 Pro isn’t just a phone to watch, it's probably a tech revolution in your pocket.
