Motorola may have a flagship-level smartphone in the pipeline if recent reports are to be believed. Leakster, Onleaks and Pricebaba recently shared renders of the brand’s prospective new high-end device, which may feature a “waterfall” bezel-free design. If accurate, this device would be Motorola’s first flagship since releasing the Moto Z3 in 2018.
The smartphone may be called the Motorola Edge+ and rumored specs include a 6.7-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Renders show a device with the now quintessential wrap around display that allows the handset to maximize its screen real estate. Other stand out features on the device’s front include an in-display fingerprint scanner and its minuscule punch-hole selfie camera in the upper left corner.
There are also a few specs accompanying the leak, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, enabling 5G, as well as 8GB and 12GB RAM options, a 5,170mAh battery, and stock Android 10. The device’s rear triple camera set up may include a 108-megapixel lens, a 16-megapixel lens, and an 8-megapixel lens, while its front camera may feature a 25-megapixel lens. Schematics suggest the device will have 61.1 x 71.3 x 9.5mm dimensions with an 11.5mm width at the camera bump.
The renders also showcase other several design aspects, including the earpiece slit above the display and the LED lighting embedded within the rear logo of the handset. The leaksters believe this may light up with notifications. The Motorola Edge+ may also feature an ejectable SIM card tray, a noise-canceling mic, a USB Type-C port, and a bottom-firing speaker grill. The device is expected to retain its 3.5mm audio jack, located at the top of the handset.
Not much else is know about the Motorola Edge+ at this time, by way of price and release date. However, an interesting aspect of the device is its name. Many outlets, including the original source, have referred to the device as the Motorola Edge+, but some have also called it the Motorola Moto Edge+. It may be a while before a name confirmation surfaces, but the lack of Moto branding could suggest a shift in device ethos for the mobile company.
