Motorola Edge+ is a $1,000 phone with flagship-class specs
As expected, Motorola’s latest flagship phone features flagship-class hardware including a 144 Hz display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, 12GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and support for fast charging, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.
What to call the phone depends on where you live though. In the US it’s the Motorola Edge+ and it’ll be available soon for $1,000 (or $900 during a limited-time launch promotion). It’ll be called the Edge 30 Pro in select markets in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. And a very similar phone has already been available in China since December, where it’s called the Moto Edge X30.

One thing to keep in mind is that while the Moto Edge+ supports a new Motorola Smart Stylus accessory, it’s not included in the $1000 price tag. You’ll have to buy the pressure-sensitive pen separately. It comes as part of a bundle with a folio cover that features a storage slot for the stylus.
Motorola says the phone’s 4,800 mAh battery should provide up to 2 days of battery life, and the 60MP front camera with quad-pixel support should let you snap high-quality selfies even in low light. You can also record 8K video at 24 frames per second or 4K or 1080p video at 60 frames per second using the front camera. There’s also support for recording slow motion 1080p video at up to 960 frames per second.
The rear camera system includes a 50MP primary camera with a 1/1.5″ image sensor, f/1.8 aperture, 1.0µm pixel size, and quad pixel technology for effective photographs with 2.0µm pixels. It also supports optical image stabilization and phase detection auto focus.
There’s also a 50MP wide-angle camera with a 114 degree field of view, f/2.2 aperture, 0.64µm pixel size, and quad pixel support for 1.28µm pixel images. It also supports Macro Vision, which lets you treat the camera like a macro lens with support for getting as close as 2.5cm to your subject.
And there’s also a 2MP depth camera with f/2.4 aperture and 1.75µm pixels.
Interestingly the rear camera system does not support 8K video at all, topping out at 4K/60fps video instead, while slow-motion video capture with the rear cameras tops out at 240 frames per second for 1080p videos.
