Motorola Edge+ headed to Verizon; could it be a flagship?
Motorola churned out smartphones quite consistently last year and a new leak suggests 2020 will be no different for the Chicago-based brand.
A Motorola flagship with a curved-edge display?
As revealed by Evan Blass on Twitter, Motorola is developing a mysterious new smartphone at the moment called the Motorola Edge+. As the branding suggests, it’s not part of the existing One or Moto lineups, which may mean Motorola is preparing an entirely new smartphone series.
If Motorola has applied this logic to the Motorola Edge+ it may well be the company’s first device with a curved-edge display. Such a design choice would come at an added cost, one that’s only justified in the premium smartphone segment where margins are higher.
The company in question hasn’t participated in the flagship market for almost three years but last month teased a return with an upcoming Snapdragon 865-backed 5G smartphone. Further information hasn’t yet been provided, but it’s possible Motorola was talking about the Edge+.
Except for the fact that the phone will be launching on Verizon, no other information about the Motorola Edge+ is available at this time. However, with MWC 2020 just around the corner, it’s possible the company will unveil the device at the event.
