After focusing almost entirely on fairly conventional budget-friendly mid-rangers arguably delivering great value for its fans’ money these past few years, Motorola started thinking outside the box again, technically beating Samsung to the foldable flip phone punch. 

Motorola’s first flagship since 2017 will pack a massive battery

The exact number is unknown at the moment, but it’s likely to circle the 5,200mAh mark, topping the already impressive 5,000mAh cell under the hood of the S20 Ultra. The Edge Plus is also tipped to combine a display resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels with a 90Hz refresh rate, which might prove a wiser call than Samsung’s 3200 x 1440 resolution and 120Hz maximum refresh rate for battery endurance.

All in all, you can definitely expect the Motorola Edge+ to excel in terms of both raw power and autonomy between charges, but it remains to be seen how its dramatically curved (“80% waterfall”) design will be received if it pans out.

Motorola One Mid – odd name, decent specs

Unfortunately, it looks like that tradition is about to end with the Motorola One Mid, which will probably include a decent set of mid-range features and no big differentiators compared to other such devices from other brands. Of course, we don’t know the full story here yet, so maybe the handset will stand out from the crowd somehow despite its unusually boring name. 

All we “know” is that a respectable Snapdragon 675 chipset will be coupled with a fairly sizable 4,000mAh battery under the hood of the Motorola One Mid, which is also expected to sport a relatively large 6.53-inch display with a decent resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixels.
