Motorola's latest product is Edge Plus. This product comes with a 6.7-inch FHD+OLED display with a Snapdragon 865 processor, 12GB RAM, 256GB internal storage, 5G support, 5,000mAh battery, and 3.5mm headphone jack.
Its rear camera is equipped with a 180-megapixel main camera such as Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and Xiaomi's Mimix Alpha. It also has an 8-megapixel zoom lens (3X), a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a ToF camera, and an optical OIS function. Videos support up to 6K.
According to the released specifications, it is almost similar to other Android flagship smartphones, but stands out because Motorola has recently introduced mostly low- and mid-priced products.
Edge Plus's 6.7-inch curved display is what Motorola emphasizes and is called an "edge display." The curved screen is not new as it has been introduced by many companies such as Samsung Electronics and One Plus, but it is bent at an angle of nearly 90 degrees as it is similar to the waterfall display that Oppo and Vivo have recently introduced. It is planning to show notifications and device charging status through this edge display.

Edge with lower specifications than Edge Plus is equipped with Snapdragon 765 processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB internal storage, 4,500mAh battery, 64 million pixel camera, and wireless charging function is missing.
Motorola Edge Plus is scheduled to be released through U.S. news agency Verizon on April 14, with a price of $1,000. A regular edge model will be released this summer, with prices not disclosed.
