Motorola has introduced a new addition to its smartphone lineup with the launch of the Motorola Edge (2024) in the United States. Priced at $550, this mid-range model boasts several premium features, setting it apart in the competitive mid-tier market.
The Motorola Edge (2024) features a striking endless edge display—a 6.6 P-OLED panel that curves on two sides. This display offers FHD+ resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and a 360Hz touch sampling rate, capable of rendering 10-bit colors. It achieves peak brightness levels of 1,300 nits and is equipped with DC dimming and 720Hz PWM, all protected by Gorilla Glass 3.
Powering the device is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, supported by 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of storage. The smartphone runs Android 14 out of the box and includes a USB-C port supporting USB 3.1/DisplayPort 1.4. Notably, the Edge (2024) offers 68W fast charging, which can charge its 5,000mAh battery to 50% in just 15 minutes, and it supports 15W wireless charging—a feature not present in its international counterpart, the Edge 50 Fusion.
The camera setup on the Edge (2024) includes a main 50MP Sony Lytia 700C sensor with quad PDAF and OIS and a 13MP ultra-wide camera that doubles as a macro shooter. Both cameras can record 4K video at 30fps, and the main camera also supports 1080p at 60fps. The front-facing camera boasts a 32MP sensor.
Despite its impressive features, the Edge (2024) does not include a headphone jack but compensates with stereo speakers enhanced with Dolby Atmos. Connectivity options are robust, featuring 5G sub-6GHz, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC. The device also supports dual-SIM functionality (one nano-SIM and one eSIM).
Rated IP68 for water and dust resistance, the Motorola Edge (2024) is thicker and heavier than its predecessor due to its larger battery and enhanced features. It features a stylish faux leather back and will be available from June 20 at Motorola’s website, through retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy, and through various carriers, including T-Mobile and MVNOs on Verizon and AT&T networks.
