A device built to empower consumers with a truly premium smartphone experience, the new edge+ elevates all the ways you can consume, create, and connect.

flawless design meets boundless performance

The new motorola edge+ enters North America’s premium product portfolio with a flawless, quad-curved, endless edge design crafted for unparalleled comfort. It features a virtually borderless 6.7” pOLED display so the focus is on the device content— not bezels or smudges.

Anti-fingerprint coating on the front and velvet anti-glare glass inlay on the back make the motorola edge+ equally as beautiful as it is comfortable in hand. Both sides of the device are protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® for extra protection against scratches, sharp contact, and drops.

– Horizon Lock Stabilization: When engaging in extreme sports like mountain biking or skiing, this feature keeps the user’s shots stabilized and locked onto the horizon — even while rotating the smartphone up to a full 360° during action scenes.

– Auto Focus Tracking: Users can enable this feature to keep the subject crystal-clear and in focus even when it’s in motion throughout the frame.

– Portrait (bokeh): In Video Mode, users can select Portrait Video , a bokeh setting, to automatically create soft-focus backgrounds in your videos. It utilizes a new AI-based algorithm to create a beautiful, cinematic blur effect behind the subject.

Hello camera: multiple enhancements are available for Motorola’s latest premium devices

April 19, 2023

Capturing photos and videos, in a quick, effortless way is a must-have for smartphone users. In fact, more than 90% of consumers are using the camera in the automatic mode, which means they simply open the app, point and shoot. Knowing how important it is to capture these notable moments on the fly, Motorola is bringing new camera software updates to its portfolio.

Keeping photographers ahead of the curve, these new updates contribute to the exceptional triple high-res camera system on the motorola edge 40 pro. The main 50MP camera offers OIS, instant all-pixel focus, and large 2.0um ultra pixels that help capture photos that are crystal-clear in any light. The camera system also includes a 50MP ultrawide camera with Macro Vision, 60MP front camera with Quad Pixel technology and a 12MP telephoto portrait camera with 2x optical zoom, so that consumers can take breathtaking content of everything – from stunning landscapes to extreme closeups, and even more flattering shots of people.

The camera features and what they’re all about

From image quality enhancements to new capabilities, Motorola is releasing a combination of video and camera improvements across the entire camera system. Internal data revealed that 70% of videos recorded with Motorola smartphones are less than 60 seconds. So, to help users capture content that is both momentary and memorable, Motorola has introduced a new set of features to take videos to the next level:

– Horizon Lock Stabilization: Photographers can now use the new “Horizon Lock” feature to keep the footage stabilized and automatically locked onto the horizon, even while rotating up to a full 360°. This is great for action scenarios where there would be heavy camera movement like skateboarding, skiing or kayaking.

– Video Auto Focus Tracking: Users can enable this feature to keep their subject crystal-clear and in focus even when it’s in motion throughout the frame. For example, if recording a video of a child running around, and another person enters the scene, the focus will stay locked on the original subject.

– Video Portrait (bokeh): Consumers can take videos like a professional by creating a beautiful soft focus background behind their subject. This AI-based effect is ideal for users who want a singular subject as their focal point.

– Video Night Vision: When shooting videos in low-light environments, consumers can switch to Night Vision mode for video to capture brighter footage with more detail, better clarity, and more accurate color. The AI-based algorithm applies lighting techniques to low-light scenarios, increasing the overall brightness and decreasing noise at the same time.

– Vlog mode: Motorola’s Dual Capture feature has been enhanced even more for videos. Now, when users select the Vlog mode audio icon, the picture-in-picture window only appears when voice is detected from the front side. And when someone isn’t speaking, the window automatically disappears. This allows customers to easily add commentary while recording.

Additionally, consumers can expect brilliant images and videos when using certain social media applications, which now support secondary cameras like ultrawide and telephoto, as well as features like Dual Capture, directly within apps, if applicable.

Availability

These new camera features are available in selected motorola edge smartphones, including the new motorola edge+.

In the new Moto Game time, gamers can turn the phone sideways and use two additional, customizable buttons on the top edge of the screen for console-like four finger gameplay.Mobile entertainment is on the rise, with mobile video consumption rising by 100% year over year.⁵

Our consumer research tells us that the majority of the time, consumers are using their phone’s loud speakers when watching their favorite content. motorola edge+ has the loudest, most powerful stereo speakers in a smartphone ever, plus precision tuning for professional-quality sonic performance and deeper, fuller sound.⁶

The audio tuning technology comes from Waves, recipient of a Technical GRAMMY® Award, to make your music, videos, and phone calls sound louder and clearer than ever. Born from recording studios and used by sound engineers, music, film & TV producers and broadcasters, Waves delivers professional-quality sonic performance on smartphone speakers in a way that’s never been done before.

We’ve refined the camera system in motorola edge+ so it gets as close to professional DSLR photo and video quality as possible. The 108 MP sensor main camera is the highest resolution ever included in a smartphone, and is physically nearly three times larger than the 12MP sensors used on predecessor flagship smartphones. With Quad Pixel technology, this sensor has 4x the light sensitivity to capture incredibly clear and crisp photos in all lighting conditions. The versatile triple camera system gives you a lens for every shot. Capture more from far away with high-res optical zoom on the 8MP telephoto lens, snap more of the scene with our 16MP ultra-wide angle lens, or get up close and personal with Macro Vision. Content creators will love the video capabilities on the motorola edge+, which allows you to record in 6K for incredible high-res videos. The industry’s most advanced video stabilization compensates for motion blur, changing focus, and crooked horizons, and even combines OIS and EIS for better low light video quality. The new video snapshot feature even lets you pull out a high res 20 MP photo while shooting video. The camera system has intuitive software features like video portrait mode, which brings a beautiful blur effect to your videos to turn the focus to your subject. Plus, dual OIS on the main and telephoto cameras compensates for unwanted camera movement so clarity and detail shine through no matter what.All this top tier performance and 5G power isn’t worth much if you’re constantly running out of battery. We packed a 5000 mAh battery into this device, the largest battery of any 5G phone on the market, to last you two full days of use.⁷

For added convenience, motorola edge+ features TurboPowerTM wired charging and wireless charging, plus you can share power with other devices in a snap with wireless power sharing.⁸

We’re committed to bringing intuitive software experiences to our consumers. There are no clunky software skins, no duplicate apps – just near-stock Android™ 10. We choose to build upon Android with unique ways to enhance customers’ mobile experience. That’s why with motorola edge+ we’re introducing My UX, allowing users to customize their experience to be even more intuitive and personal, so it works the way they want. And it’s all in one place, the Moto app!

My UX includes all the great moto experiences customers have come to know and love, from turning on the flashlight with a simple chop gesture to launching the camera with the twist of a wrist. And with motorola edge+, in addition to the new edge display interactions, My UX let’s users take music, videos and games to the next level with custom settings and advanced controls. Users can even create their own device themes by choosing from unique fonts, colors, icon shapes, and fingerprint sensor animations, so their phone is one in a million. My UX truly puts users in control of their mobile experience.

edge functionality puts the control in your hands

May 26, 2020

For Motorola, display innovation is driven by what consumers care about most: a bolder design, more immersive entertainment experiences, and increased usability. That’s why the unique Endless Edge display on motorola edge and motorola edge+ is so much more than just a pretty feature. The curved display enabled us to create new software features that put the control in users hands and provide intuitive new ways to interact with their device. And of course, our edge features are integrated seamlessly into Android 10 for an optimal user experience.

explore Endless Edge

You can customize your Endless Edge display easily within the Moto App. Simply click the menu icon in the upper lefthand corner to access different settings and make adjustments.

edge touch

Edge Touch, part of our new My UX suite of software features housed within the Moto App, allows you to customize new ways to interact with your device. Just swipe down the edge to show notifications, and swipe down again for settings. Swipe up to see recent apps, and up again to see the app tray. Swipe inward to pull up Edge Shortcuts, a small customizable box that gives you easy access to whatever apps, contacts, and tools you use most. You can even double tap to swap between the two most recent apps or turn the Endless Edge on and off.

edge gaming

The Endless Edge also enhances gaming, adding advanced controls that give you a console-like experience right on your smartphone. A new feature in Moto Gametime lets gamers activate two additional touch-enabled buttons on the top edge when holding the phone sideways, enabling four-finger gameplay. You can map these shoulder buttons anywhere on the screen, customizing control of the game for the way you like to play.

edge lighting

Edge functionality even improves the user experience when you´re not holding the phone in your hand. Users can customize their display edge to light up in different ways to show battery charging status, incoming calls, alarms, and notifications from across the room.

Overall, edge functionality delivers a more intuitive user experience that improves one-handed usability and lets you do things that simply aren´t possible on other smartphones. My UX will continue to deliver convenient and customizable experiences through the Moto App, so be sure to keep an eye out for future My UX features.

motorola edge family wins Red Dot for outstanding design

April 30, 2020

Motorola won its second Red Dot award of the year with the recently launched motorola edge and motorola edge+. Submitted as a family, these two new devices have been recognized in the world´s most renowned design competition for their outstanding design quality. In 2020, designers and companies from 60 countries entered more than 6,500 products in the competition, with only 25% being honored with this recognition.

Motorola´s design philosophy has always been focused on providing consumers with innovation that transforms technology into meaningful experiences. While this extends across our entire portfolio of products, the Motorola Edge and Edge+ deliver the very best all-around experience in a design that´s beautiful, surprisingly functional and advanced in a bold and modern interpretation of what a smartphone can be.

When designing the Motorola edge family usability, simplicity and desirability were top of mind for the team. From the interactive 90-degree curved display and high-resolution camera systems to the fastest 5G data speeds ever and the largest battery of any smartphone – maximizing performance and the consumer experience were key priorities in our design process. We wanted these premium features to be matched with an equally stunning exterior look and feel with a finish meant to evoke luxury that was inspired by Murano glass blowing for depth and gradient of color. It´s powerful and fast interior is perfectly balanced with a stunning exterior that is all pixels, all imaging and all audio to satisfy the most demanding consumers.

“We recognize the importance of balancing consumer needs with an element of surprise, and the motorola edge family is one step on a longer roadmap to create more seamless, intuitive devices with cutting-edge design,” said Paul Pierce, Head of Premium & Innovation Design at Motorola. “We aim to create devices that adapt to the user, not the other way around. With this in mind, every decision made when creating these new devices was centered around our consumers and increasing usability through purposeful innovation.”

On June 22, 2020, the motorola edge and motorola edge+ will be added to the Milestones in Contemporary Design exhibition in the Red Dot Design Museum Essen, where all of the award-winning products will be on display. Congratulations to the entire team responsible for bringing these beautiful devices to life. To learn more about the motorola edge family, please visit our YouTube page.

About the Red Dot Design Award: In order to appraise the diversity in the field of design in a professional manner, the Red Dot Design Award breaks down into the three disciplines of Red Dot Award: Product Design, Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design and Red Dot Award: Design Concept. With more than 18,000 entries, the Red Dot Award is one of the world´s largest design competitions. In 1955, a jury convened for the first time to assess the best designs of the day. In the 1990s, Red Dot CEO Professor Dr. Peter Zec developed the name and brand of the award. Ever since the sought-after distinction “Red Dot” has been the revered international seal of outstanding design quality. The award winners are presented in the yearbooks, museums and online.
