Motorola's latest smartphone features a fluid design and cutting-edge camera.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10, 2023 /CNW/ -- The motorola edge family in North America continues to evolve, consistently placing style, functionality and advanced features at the forefront. The new motorola edge-2023 embodies this commitment, offering a beautiful and comfortable design with premium features.
With its borderless curved edges, the new motorola edge fits perfectly in users' hands. The contoured edges make it comfortable to hold, and the vegan leather back is soft, stylish, and easy to grip. Featuring a sandblasted aluminum frame and IP681 underwater protection, the new motorola edge comes ready for life's adventures. And while it's one of the thinnest in its class (7.64mm), the motorola edge packs in a powerful 50MP camera system with the widest aperture available in a smartphone for stunning shots.
The widest smartphone aperture for photos worth framing
Sharp and bright photos are guaranteed with the 50MP high-res camera system, which features 2.0µm Ultra Pixels to capture more light, instant all-pixel focus with 32x more focusing pixels2 and OIS for stabilized shots, providing faster, more accurate low-light performance. Users will be able to focus faster with the Ambient Light Sensor that instantly measures the amount of light. This speeds up focus time, especially in low-light situations. There's also an incredibly wide aperture (f/1.4) that allows for 64% more light3 to reach the sensor, resulting in:
- Better performance in low-light environments for beautiful shots at all hours
- Soft-focus backgrounds behind one's subject to create a professional-looking, natural bokeh effect
- Faster capture speeds, resulting in crisp, detailed photos
Offering two perspectives, the 13MP ultrawide camera with Macro Vision has users covered when they need to fit more of the scene in view, or capture fine details in extreme close-ups. In the front, a 32MP hi-res selfie cam with auto focus creates brilliant shots. Taking content creation even further, the motorola edge offers new video and camera enhancements like Horizon Lock Stabilization, Video Portrait and Vlog Mode. The camera features also include Audio Zoom, which filters out ambient noise so consumers get the best sound quality when zooming in on a specific subject.
Cinematic entertainment experiences without borders
For those looking for edge-to-edge entertainment, consumers can truly immerse themselves in all their favorite content on the borderless 6.6" pOLED display. The HDR10+ display meets cinematic standards for color range, brightness, color accuracy, and contrast level, so everything looks exactly as it should. And users can view it all in over a billion shades of true-to-life color with improved brightness and infinite contrast.
When switching from one's photos to games or other apps, users can look forward to a fast 144Hz refresh rate that adjusts automatically to optimize battery life. The beautiful display pairs perfectly with Dolby Atmos®, which delivers the ultimate immersive audio experience by adding more depth, clarity and details across your favorite entertainment. In addition, the device offers support for Motorola Spatial Sound.
Charge faster and go farther
With the new motorola edge, users can stream, work and play without worrying about battery life, thanks to 68W TurboPower™ charging4 that gives you power for the day in just 10 minutes5,6 and a 4400mAh battery that gives you over 30 hours of power for all the things you want to do5.
Users can also refuel by using up to 15W wireless charging4, or give a little battery life to a friend with 5W wireless power sharing.
Enjoy powerhouse performance
Powering all of these meaningful experiences is the MediaTek Dimensity 7030 chipset. Users can connect to blazing-fast 5G7 and Wi-Fi networks, including Wi-Fi 6E. This enables lightning fast file transfers, high-resolution videos and peak download speeds up to 4.6 Gbps. Equipped with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage8, consumers can expect smooth performance and the ability to hold even more of their favorite content. Users can also unleash the full power of their smartphone with Ready For wireless connection9 and PC compatibility.10
