It’s time to find your edge: new motorola edge 20 pro, motorola edge 20, motorola edge 20 lite

July 29, 2021

Motorola has always worked to democratize cutting-edge technology and share disruptive innovation to empower people in their daily lives. And when so much has changed in the world, it was important for us to reconnect with people to bring them what they need most. With this spirit in mind, we’re proud to unveil the latest motorola edge family to a whole new group of thinkers, innovators, and change makers.

We’ve gone beyond the previous generation of edge in nearly every category, bringing more powerful processors, a main camera with bigger pixels, our first ever periscope style zoom, a faster display refresh rate, faster battery charging, and expanded experiences on the Ready For software platform. But we’re also bringing these incredible new features at more accessible price points, so more people can unleash their creativity and find their edge. Meet the new motorola edge 20 pro, edge 20 and edge 20 lite.

never stop creating with motorola edge 20 pro

The social generation is reinventing how people share their experiences visually, proving more than ever that images and videos can empower and connect us in meaningful ways. Across the edge family, we focused on improving camera quality since we know people are turning to smartphone cameras more than ever before. Motorola edge 20 pro delivers a new 108MP main camera for outstanding quality, one of our largest camera sensors ever at 1/1.5” optical format. It features what we’re calling Ultra Pixel technology. Every nine pixels is combined into one large ultra pixel, which improves light sensitivity by 9X and results in better low light performance. We’re also offering an ultrawide-angle lens with built-in Macro Vision, which allows you to capture 4X more of the scene into your frame so you can see more of your surroundings and fit everyone in the shot. Macro Vision lets you get 5X closer to your subject for extreme close-ups, as close as 3cm away, for capturing photos of food, arts and crafts, nature, and more.

The third camera is our first ever periscope-style telephoto lens, a feature rarely seen in this class, which bends the light 90-degrees for superior clarity from 5x the distance. Plus, we’re going even further by introducing 50x Super Zoom, capturing details from incredible distances. And we didn’t forget about video – edge 20 pro can record in incredible 8K resolution, a first for a motorola smartphone.

Many people use their smartphones as their #1 source for watching shows and movies, which is why edge 20 pro comes with a big 6.7″ Max Vision display with OLED technology for a crystal clear viewing experience. This display offers 10-bit color, achieving the DCI-P3 color space and meeting HDR10+ standards. That means you can see over a billion shades of gorgeous colors, rendered vivid, bright, and true-to-life on the display. For the first time ever we’re offering a 144Hz refresh rate, the highest refresh rate available on mainstream smartphones. When engaging in dynamic, high motion content like gaming or action-packed video, a 144 HZ refresh rate drastically improves the experience as it’s 140% faster than the 60Hz industry standard just a few years ago and 60% faster than the first generation of motorola edge.

We believe 5G technology doesn’t need to come with a top-tier price tag, because everyone deserves to have access to next-generation connectivity. Motorola edge 20 pro is the latest device to bring 5G to more people globally, as well as the next generation speed of Wi-Fi 6.1 The ultra-fast Snapdragon® 870 5G Mobile Platform gives you all the power you need. With 256 GB of built-in storage, there’s tons of room for photos, movies, games, and music.2,3 And with 12 GB of the latest generation memory, your apps and information stay ready in the background so everything runs smoothly.3

Best of all, you can go over 30 hours on 5G without having to recharge.4 Need a quick burst of power before heading out? TurboPower™ 30 gives you 9 hours of power in 10 minutes of charging.5

never stop styling with motorola edge 20

Motorola edge 20 is one of the thinnest 5G smartphones on the market at just 6.99mm, perfect for anyone who values a modern streamlined design and is tired of bulky, heavy devices weighing down their bags or pockets. This device features the same incredible 108MP main sensor, ultra-wide and macro lens as edge 20 pro, plus a 30X Super Zoom telephoto lens for outstanding images every time. And you can view all the content you create on the large 6.7” display and industry-leading 144Hz refresh rate. Motorola edge 20 is packed with a powerfully efficient Qualcomm® processor with up to 55% faster graphics and processing compared to the first generation motorola edge.6 The ultra-fast Snapdragon® 778G 5G Mobile Platform supports Wi-Fi 6 and is designed specifically for 5G phones—and for the amazing things you can do with ours. With up to 256 GB of built-in storage, there’s tons of room for photos, movies, games, and music.2 And with up to 8 GB of the latest generation memory, your apps and information stay ready in the background so everything runs smoothly.3 Go beyond a full day without recharging with the 4000 mAh battery,4 and if you do need a quick burst of power, TurboPower™ 30 gives you 8 hours of power in just 10 minutes.5

never stop exploring with motorola edge 20 lite

Motorola edge 20 lite offers blazing fast 5G speeds with an advanced camera system at our most competitive price point. Take incredibly sharp photos on the 108MP main sensor, or get creative with ultra-wide and Macro Vision as well. Your entertainment experience will be elevated by the same stunning 6.7” OLED display as the rest of the edge family. Motorola edge 20 lite offers a power efficient MediaTek chipset, powering games, photos, and more with energy to spare. Switch back and forth between apps effortlessly and keep everything running smoothly in the background with up to 8 GB of the latest generation memory.3 The 5000 mAh battery is one of the largest of any 5G smartphone and offers you two days of power on a single charge,4 so you can connect at superfast speeds on the go without stopping to recharge. And TurboPower™ 30 gives you a day’s worth of power in just 10 minutes of charging, so you can refuel quickly and get back to what matters.5

the power behind the lens

We integrated new tools to capture content easier, faster, and more beautifully than ever. Dual Capture mode allows you to record video or capture photos with any two cameras at the same time, so you can capture both you and your subject so you never miss any of the action—or your reaction. Audio Zoom on edge 20 pro and edge 20 uses advanced microphones to capture the sound of your subject while filtering out ambient noise and voices, so now your videos include only the audio that’s intended.7 We’re also introducing super slow motion. It records 960 high-definition frames per second, 4x slower than the slow motion on previous Motorola phones, so you can see the details your eyes miss at normal speed.8 For better selfies in the dark, now you can use Low Light AI which automatically analyzes your selfie for potential improvements in brightness and quality with no extra work on your end.

unleash the full power of your smartphone

The Ready For software platform amplifies everything your phone is capable of, and with new wireless connection and PC compatibility, the possibilities are endless.9 With the new wireless connection capabilities,8 it’s now easier than ever to move your phone’s games to the big screen, feel like you’re right in the room during video calls, and use your apps on a desktop display. Plus, with new Ready For PC functionality, you can instantly connect your PC to 5G networks, share files, and use your phone as a webcam all on the same screen. Between working on two files at once or even moving files back and forth between your devices—sharing is a snap.

5 ways to optimize the Motorola software experience on Android

July 28, 2021

At Motorola, we want to bring the best software experiences possible to our end-users. Our close partnership with Android and tight integration with Google apps and services speak to that commitment. Instead of duplicating the great things done with Android™, we choose to build upon it with unique ways of enhancing the mobile experience, from moto e to motorola razr.

Here are 5 ways users can optimize their Motorola software experience on Android:

Switching made simple: Google has made it so simple to move from iOS to Android. By backing up content in Google Drive, Android and iOS users alike can quickly transfer data to a new device. Additionally, Motorola and Google have collaborated to bring a new device setup and migration experience to the moto g all recently launched globally. The new experience is faster and easier to use, and allows Motorola customers to directly migrate their data from their old devices using just a USB cable, avoiding the need for slow cloud backups. The new experience allows migration from both Android and iOS devices, and supports a much broader range of data than before, meaning customers can quickly and confidently switch, knowing their most valuable content will always come with them.
Customizations: Google and Moto software makes it easy to personalize and customize your smartphone experience. From changing wallpapers and creating widgets to customizing notifications the Android software experience is more personal. And with My UX, Motorola allows you to customize the experience to be even more intuitive and personal, so it works just the way you want. Whether it’s turning on the flashlight with a simple chop gesture, launching the camera with the twist of a wrist with Moto Actions, bringing creativity to life with Moto note or changing your icon shapes, color schemes and display font to fit your style – it’s all a part of the Motorola experience. And we’re constantly updating My UX features to ensure our users have the latest and greatest. This is why we recently introduced an Interactive Wallpaper Hub created to provide different ways for our users to make their own wallpaper.*
Voice Assistance: With just your voice, you can ask the Google Assistant for help with anything from calling a friend to opening up your favorite apps. And on select Motorola devices, a dedicated button makes it easy to activate Google Assistant whenever you need.
Video Calling: This year, many of us relied on the Google Duo video calling app to get face-to-face with the people who matter most no matter where we are in the world. And now, with Motorola’s Ready For platform, we’ve taken this a step further so you can feel like you’re in the same room. With Ready For, users have the option to pick between the 64 MP main lens that helps every scene look vivid and clear, or the 16 MP ultra-wide lens that lets you capture more people in one frame for the ultimate group video call.Plus, you can make sure you’re front and center by activating Ready For’s industry first advanced subject tracking¹, which tracks face movement to ensure you’re always front and center when video calling and recording.
Security: Android’s tools and privacy controls put users in charge by providing access to location controls, permissions, and more. With the addition of fingerprint scanners and Face ID, which can be found on a number of Android and Motorola devices, users can have peace of mind that their information and device are better protected. But at Motorola, we wanted to take security a step further with Thinkshield for Mobile. Security is at the core of what we do and with ThinkShield for mobile, we are delivering business-grade security, manageability, productivity and service.

5 things you may not know about the moto g family

May 14, 2021

Since creating the mid-tier smartphone market in 2013, moto g has revolutionized the industry by delivering incredible, fully-featured mobile experiences at affordable prices. We always prioritize the key experiences and features that smartphone users tell us are important through our ongoing consumer research. But what has really motivated us to continue delivering products with the features that matter most to our consumers is the challenge of meeting the increasingly high expectations of our consumers in this category and enabling them to communicate, share and discover with the world around them.

Now, 8 years later, we’re sharing 5 facts you may not know about our moto g family:

#1 The mobile industry followed Motorola’s lead on mid-tier.

When we introduced the first generation of moto g, we set out on a mission to make meaningful, yet innovative technology more accessible to consumers all around the world.

With each generation of moto g, Motorola has shaped the mid-tier market, making features previously exclusive to the premium market available at a more accessible price point. This is how moto g has not only stayed competitive, but also thrived among users across the globe. From impressive battery life and powerful performance to exceptional camera and entertainment experiences, the moto g family delivers the features that matter most to consumers without the hefty price tag.

#2 Motorola has shipped more than 125 million moto g smartphones since the first generation was released.

Over the years, the moto g family has proven to be one of our most popular franchises among moto fans. Across the globe, we’re continuing to lead the pack in this category with North America taking the #1 spot in the mid-tier category and LATAM also capturing #1 in the category in its core markets. And, now, with over 125 million moto g devices shipped since 2013, this means even more consumers across the globe have access to the technology that enables them to connect with their world.

#3 Motorola was one of the first brands to announce a mid-tier device with 5G technology (moto g 5g plus) and the first to offer a 5G smartphone for under $400 (moto g50).

In 2019, the moto z3 combined with the 5G moto mod became the world’s first commercially available smartphone to connect to 5G in 2019. Now with additions like the moto g 5G plus and moto g50 (just two of our four mid-tier 5G devices available worldwide today), we’re bringing the power of 5G into more consumers’ hands and are excited to continue to deliver accessible technology through our moto g family.

#4 Motorola is one of the first smartphone manufacturers to bring the latest 800-series chipset to the mid-tier with the launch of the moto g100.

The moto g¹⁰⁰ gives users the same powerful performance they could expect from devices that cost twice as much. With 5G speeds, outstanding new camera features and incredible battery life all paired with the Ready For platform – the moto g100 is revolutionizing the mid-tier segment once again.

#5 This year marked ten generations of moto g and our moto lovers, and we celebrated by introducing six new moto gs worldwide.

Today, our consumers can choose the smartphone that best fits their needs, including our most recent additions like the moto g10, moto g20, moto g30, moto g50, moto g60 and moto g100. With these devices, we continue to innovate within the mid-tier by bringing flagship-level experiences into this family. Stay tuned for more to come!

Our priority is bringing the best experiences possible to end-users, and our close partnership with Google and tight integration with Google services speak to that commitment.

With swipe to split, use a simple gesture to activate the split screen function, where you can see the app you’re in at the top, and add another app on the bottom half of the screen.
