Motorola Edge (2023) announced: Dimensity 7030 SoC, 144Hz screen, and 50MP camera

Motorola unveiled the Edge+ (2023) in May, which is now joined by the Edge (2023) that surfaced over a month ago.

The Motorola Edge (2023) is powered by the Dimensity 7030 SoC and comes in a single 8GB RAM + 256GB storage configuration. The smartphone boots Android 13, but there's no word on how many years of software updates it will receive.

The Motorola Edge (2023) is built around a 6.6" 144Hz pOLED display with support for 10-bit colors and HDR10+. The panel has a touch sampling rate of 360Hz and a peak brightness of 1,200 nits. There's also a fingerprint reader underneath for biometric authentication and a centered punch-hole for the 32MP selfie camera.

The frame of the Motorola Edge (2023) is made of sandblasted aluminum, while the back cover is made of soft vegan leather. It sports flash and two cameras - 50MP primary (with OIS) and 13MP ultrawide (120° FOV). You can take macro shots with the latter using the Macro Vision feature.

Fueling the Motorola Edge (2023) is a 4,400 mAh battery with 68W wired and 15W wireless charging. The rest of the smartphone's highlights include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning, NFC, IP68 rating, and USB-C.

The Motorola Edge (2023) is offered in a single Eclipse Black color and is priced at $599.99 in the US. But for a limited time, it's available at a discounted price of $499.99 through Motorola's official US website.

If you live in Canada, the Motorola Edge (2023) will cost you CAD849.99, but it's currently available for CAD699.99 through Motorola's Canadian website.

Not at all, and they'll never be. There's TCL (Alcatel) and Wingtech (Samsung) with their super boring and flimsy phones that barely sell

I love the previous Edge. Too bad they didn't release the pastel blue variant in renders officially

Pixels are pretty competitive in the US imho, but I wouldn't trust their half-baked software and poor optimization, which puts me away from liking their phones
