The New Motorola Edge Plus
The price of this new Edge Plus is $999 which is approximately Rs. 76,000 in the Indian market. There are two color options for the phone, Thunder Grey and Smokey Sangria. The company has decided to sell the product officially from May. Given that Motorola makes the best budget phones, the new features are going to take you by surprise.
The new Motorola Edge Plus has a display screen of 6.7 inches. This is the biggest phone that Motorola has ever launched in the market. The display has curved screens which curve at an angle almost equal to 90 degrees down the side of the phone. It can be best described as a curved display with a hole-punch design. The edge displays will be used for lighting up when a notification is received or the battery is charging.
Apart from the full HD and OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, the phone will be running in Android 10. It will support a single SIM and fueled by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 processor. The phone is having 12GB RAM with 256GB internal storage. Edge Plus’s battery capacity is 5,000mAh and it also has a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone also supports 15W wireless charging and 5W reverse charging.
The Camera features
The new Motorola Edge Plus has a triple rear camera system with a 108-megapixel sensor. Some of the camera features are common with that of Samsung Galaxy’s S20 Ultra. The primary camera of 108-megapixel has an aperture of f/1.8 and 0.8-micron pixel size. And, this main camera has been designed to record videos at 6k and 30fps.
The second sensor consists of a 16-megapixel camera. It is an ultra-wide-angle camera with an f/2.2 aperture and a view field of 117 degrees. And, the third and the last camera is an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor which provides three times optical zoom. Apart from all these features, the new phone also comes with a Time of Flight sensor. Honestly, after this piece of art is released in the market, who needs a DSLR for photography?
This phone is also a blessing for the selfie-lovers. The front camera of the phone consists of a 25-megapixel sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and 0.9-micron pixel size. So, the camera system is providing all the basic lenses that one needs to buy individually with a camera. The price of the phone is worth it.
