Motorola’s new Edge 20 series of phones has been confirmed internationally — and although we’re not getting the midrange Edge 20 in the U.S., we are getting a rather similar variant known as the Edge, with presales starting August 23. Here’s everything we know about each device in the lineup so far, including how much they’re likely to cost you.
Motorola Edge 20 Lite: The baby of the bunch
The Edge 20 Lite will likely be the cheapest of the new Edge 20 series and is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G chip with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It sports a 6.7-inch full HD+ display, the same as the other phones in the series. It’s reported to have three rear cameras: A 108MP main, a 16MP ultrawide, and an 8MP lens, with a 32MP selfie camera on the front. The battery here is expected to be the biggest of the range at 5,000mAh and it will feature 30-watt fast charging.
Motorola Edge 20: The midranger
The Edge 20 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chip with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. It has a 6.7-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate under the hood. When it comes to cameras, the Edge 20 is reported to have the same lineup as the Edge 20 Lite. It has a 4,000mAh battery that is smaller battery than the one in the Edge 20 Lite. This phone won’t be coming to the U.S. and Canada — instead, the new Motorola Edge will launch in late August — more on that in a moment.
Motorola Edge 20 Pro: The flagship
The flagship of the Edge 20 lineup, the Edge 20 Pro is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chip with 6GB, 8GB, or 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage. Like the other two phones in the series, it will has a 6.7-inch full HD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate that can give give high-end gaming phones a run for their money. The cameras on offer include a 108MP camera with 5x optical zoom, an 8MP telephoto camera, and a 16MP ultrawide camera. It’s the only model that supports 8K video at 24 frames per second, while the rest of the lineup shoots in 4K. The battery capacity is 4,500mAh and it supports 30-watt TurboPower fast charging.
The Motorola Edge for the U.S. and Canada
Although the U.S. isn’t getting the midrange Motorola Edge 20, the U.S. variant, simply called “Edge,” boasts some great specs. It shares the same Snapdragon 778G chip as the Edge 20, and comes with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage, which doesn’t appear to be expandable via microSD card. It boasts a larger 6.8-inch LCD FHD+ display with that 144Hz refresh rate, and its battery is larger than that of the international Edge 20, coming in at 5,000mAh with 30-watt charging. The cameras on offer also differ, with a 108MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP depth sensor, plus a 32MP selfie camera. The U.S. Edge is a weighty device at 200 grams compared to the 185g of the Motorola Edge 20 Pro. The phone comes in one color: Nebula Blue.
