Motorola, the American telecommunications giant, has unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Edge+ (2023), in the United States. This new phone boasts a host of flagship specs and features that are sure to impress even the most discerning smartphone user.

Motorola may be known for its budget phones, but the company’s 2023 flagship lineup is nothing to sneeze at, and the new Edge+ (2023) proves it. The phone is built using a “velvet anti-glare glass inlay” on the back that gives it a beautiful frosted look, while the front 6.67-inch display is “virtually borderless,” thanks to the curved panel. The display is a Full HD+ pOLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, making it great for mobile gamers, particularly thanks to the dual stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos support. The display is also covered in Gorilla Glass Victus to protect it from drops, while the phone itself is IP68 rated for additional protection against water and dust.

The Edge+ (2023) is the latest phone to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which has impressed many in the 2023 flagship phones that have been tested so far. The phone also comes with 8GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of USF 4.0 storage. With this kind of processing power and storage capacity, the Edge+ (2023) is sure to be able to handle any task you throw at it with ease.

Imaging also sounds pretty impressive, with a triple camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary sensor with OIS and “all-pixel focus,” another 50MP sensor for ultrawide and macro shots, and a 12MP 2x “portrait” camera. The phone is capable of capturing 8K 30fps video, 4K at 60fps, or 4K HDR10+ at 30fps, and also includes other imaging features such as Night Vision and Auto Focus Tracking. There’s also a neat Horizon Lock Stabilization feature that lets you capture ultra-stabilized video that’s locked to the horizon, perfect for users who enjoy outdoor sports like skiing.

For power, Motorola has packed a 5100mAh battery into the phone. While it may not have 125W charging like on the Motorola Edge 40 Pro, the 68W wired charging should be plenty fast. Wireless charging tops out at 15W, and 5W reverse-wireless charging is included. Additionally, Motorola is supporting the phone with three OS upgrades and four years of security updates, which is sure to put users’ minds at ease.

The phone runs Android 13 out of the box and supports Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E (Wi-Fi 7 ready), NFC, and the company’s Ready For desktop experience. These features make it an attractive choice for those who value performance, connectivity, and security.

The Motorola Edge+ (2023) will be available for preorder in the United States on May 19 and goes on sale on May 25 through Motorola.com, Amazon, and Best Buy. Boost Infinite and Boost Mobile customers will get first dibs on the phone starting on May 9.

In addition to the Motorola Edge+ (2023), the company has also launched its latest 2023 Moto G Stylus and Moto G 5G models. With these three phones, Motorola is hoping to make a splash in the competitive smartphone market and offer consumers a range of choices to meet their needs and budget.
