Built For All of Life’s Adventures: Meet the New motorola edge
Latest device boasts a refined design and stunning photos in a snap
CHICAGO, June 4, 2024 /CNW/ — Whether it’s a long-lasting battery or a standout camera, consumers are looking for a smartphone that fits their lifestyle and empowers them to do more. The motorola edge-2024 comes to North America, sporting a 50MP camera system with enhanced low-light features, ultrafast 68W TurboPower™ charging6, and an ultrathin, endless-edge design.
Engineered to handle all of life’s adventures, the new motorola edge also features an IP68 rating to withstand dust, dirt, and sand, along with submersion in 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes1. Draped in luxurious Midnight Blue vegan leather, the new motorola edge delivers both the style and function that consumers are looking for – a premium smartphone experience without a premium price point.
ultra-smooth, ultra-fast entertainment
Movies, games, and videos come to life on the new motorola edge, thanks to a 6.6″ pOLED endless edge display that meets the cinematic standards of color range, brightness, and accuracy. The unbelievably fast 144Hz refresh rate2 maximizes the display capabilities by adjusting to what consumers are watching and playing. Plus, there’s a 360Hz touch rate3 for faster responsiveness.
The Snapdragon® 7s Gen 2 Mobile Platform keeps these experiences running smoothly, powering everything from advanced photography and videography to intense gaming. With 256GB of built-in storage4, this device can hold everything from family videos to large work files. For extra speed, there’s RAM Boost5 that turns unused storage into virtual RAM, allowing users to multitask and navigate the device with ease.
Rounding out the entertainment experience is a large 5000mAh battery, allowing consumers to stream, play, or work all day6 without having to find the nearest outlet. When it is time to recharge, they can turn to 68W TurboPower™ charging to get the power they need in just 15 minutes7 or 15W wireless charging8, which eliminates unnecessary cords.
capture life day or night
Users can look forward to a 50MP camera that seamlessly transitions from day to night, capturing brilliant photos regardless of the time. The specialized camera system has advanced features like Motorola’s fastest Auto Night Vision — 15x faster than the previous generation9 — and Sony’s LYTIA™ 700C image sensor, which absorbs more light and produces stunning detailed images. There’s also OIS to smooth out involuntary hand motion and create stable, blur-free photos, in addition to Adaptive Stabilization, which uses AI to determine camera movement and optimize stabilization for better results.
With Google Photos’, users can access the most powerful editing and AI tools, including Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Google Auto Enhance which automatically improves color and lighting — no manual editing is required. Finishing off the exemplary camera experience is a 13MP ultra wide-angle lens for group shots, a Macro Vision lens for capturing new perspectives and intricate details, and a 32MP front camera for beautifully balanced selfies.

This level of personalization carries through the rest of the device as well. On the new motorola edge, users can select colors and fonts that fit their personality and use intuitive gestures to customize the device to each individual’s unique identity.
