Motorola’s new flagship phone shown off from every angle in leaked renders

Motorola’s upcoming flagship phone, the Motorola Edge Plus, has been leaked again. But unlike previous leaks, the 3D renders are good enough to give us a really close look at Motorola’s next huge phone.

These latest leaks come from render-flinging leaker Evan Blass, and show the device from a number of angles — and in red and blue color variants. The waterfall-like display that gives the device its name is immediately obvious, and the screen appears to curve dramatically down the edge, toward the back of the device. Side views show the curve stretches almost to the middle of the phone’s thickness.

Unlike other phones with waterfall displays, the Motorola Edge Plus has not done away with physical buttons. A volume rocker and a power button are obvious in the rear views of the phone, so Motorola has probably not replaced physical buttons for capacitive or digital buttons. There’s a USB-C port at the bottom of the phone and — for the continued holdouts among us — a headphone jack at the top.

The front-facing selfie camera is contained within a hole-punch to the top-left of the display, with slim bezels at the top and bottom and no fingerprint scanner. It’s unclear whether Motorola will include an in-display fingerprint scanner, or use the circular Motorola logo on the back as a scanner, as it has in the past. There’s also a triple-lens camera suite on the back, and this vertically stacked module takes up a fair amount of space.

According to other leaks, we expect the camera suite to consist of a main 108-megapixel lens, a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens. It’s also expected to be a specifications beast too, with the latest Snapdragon 865, 12GB of RAM, and a 5,000mAh battery.

When can we expect to see Motorola’s latest flagship launch? Well, we’re not exactly sure. The hot money was on Motorola launching a number of new phones in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress at the end of February. However, with MWC having been canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak, Motorola’s release schedule seems to have paused. We’ll bring you more details as they become available.

If you have one of these Motorola phones, you’re getting a big Android update
Someone holding the Motorola Edge Plus (2023).

If you bought a Motorola phone within the last couple of years, you'll want to keep your eyes out for a big Android update coming your way. Why? Motorola recently updated its support website, confirming which of its phones are getting Android 14, and it's a big list.

The folks at YTECHB went through the (somewhat complicated) support page and made a full list of all the Motorola phones slated to get Android 14. There are well over 20 phones, including ones sold in the U.S. and models Motorola sells in other markets.

Motorola’s newest cheap Android phone looks shockingly good
A render of the front and back of the Moto G Play (2024).

Last year was the first in almost a decade without a Motorola Moto G Play launch of some kind. The last device, the Moto G Play (2023), launched in December 2022 and, well, it was a little disappointing. Thankfully, Motorola heard its critics, and has delivered the Moto G Play (2024) — the biggest upgrade for Motorola's budget range in years.

With a new processor, camera, and various small additions, Motorola hopes the new upgrades are enough to propel the Moto G Play (2024) to the top of lists of the best budget smartphones. But will it? Here's everything you need to know about Motorola's new $150 device, the Moto G Play (2024).

Why Motorola could be the smartphone company to beat in 2024
Close-up of the black faux leather back on the Motorola Edge (2023).

2023 is just about one for the history books, and it was a big one for smartphones. Apple went all-in on titanium iPhones, Google had an incredible year for Pixel devices, and Android phones had a shockingly good year across the board.

As we wind down 2023 and start looking ahead to 2024, there's one company, in particular, that I want to highlight. Plenty of folks are already getting excited about the Samsung Galaxy S24 and the iPhone 16, but if you ask me, Samsung and Apple aren't the companies you should be paying close attention to in the new year. Instead, your eyes should be set and centered on Motorola.
