Designed for Comfort, Built for Everyday Entertainment: Introducing the new motorola edge 2026 and moto buds 2

Featuring a sleek, compact design and blazing-fast charging that delivers power for the day in just 7 minutes,^1,3 the new motorola edge 2026 is built for life on the move - complemented by moto buds 2 for next-generation, high-quality audio.

CHICAGO, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Motorola is raising the bar in North America with the introduction of the all new motorola edge - 2026 and moto buds 2 – two complimentary devices designed to elevate the features that matter most to today's consumers.

Slim Design, Proven Durability.

Bold and compact, the new motorola edge features a pocketable design that's both elegant and practical. Its ultrathin profile and lightweight build make the phone feel comfortable yet refined. The device comes in a striking PANTONE Martini Olive color with a twill-inspired finish that brings added texture and timeless sophistication.

On top of its beauty, the new motorola edge is built to last, with IP68/69 ratings that offer superior underwater protection, as well as protection against dust, dirt, and sand.⁶ It also meets military standards for durability (MIL-STD-810H),⁵ and comes complete with Corning^® Gorilla^® Glass 7i that packs in 2x better drop and scratch resistance for added peace of mind.⁷

Intelligent Photography, Made Simple.

Powered by a Sony - LYTIA™ 710 sensor, the new motorola edge boasts a triple 50MP camera system and a dedicated telephoto lens, delivering next-level quality with no expertise needed. Combined with OIS, it captures photos with incredible clarity and detail anytime, anywhere. The main sensor also supports 4K video recording - which gives users four times the resolution of 1080p. This means more details, vibrant colors, and clarity without any extra heavy lifting.

The 50MP ultrawide lens¹⁶ with Macro Vision also knows no bounds, allowing one's creativity to flow naturally. A 122° field of view fits expansive landscapes and backdrops into the frame and is fine-tuned by AI-powered imaging technology for picture-perfect shots, while macro mode allows users to get 4x closer to their subject than a standard lens to uncover tiny details invisible to the naked eye.

A 50MP selfie cam is also ready for impromptu solo or group shots. Users can expect even sharper, higher contrast images that make everyday moments worth sharing.

Lastly, the 10MP 3x telephoto camera is also available, using advanced Super Zoom to get up to 30x the distance. Users can take clear photos of faraway signs or distant monuments with ease as the lens is equipped with OIS and powered by AI.

AI works behind the scenes to optimize every shot, allowing users to effortlessly capture life's greatest moments with professional-grade results.

Across all three lenses, the advanced AI-powered Photo Enhancement Engine applies precise adjustments to color, brightness and texture, while reducing noise and providing photos with exceptional clarity and vibrancy. Plus, users can take advantage of other AI-powered software features like Action Shot to take blur-free photos of their subject in motion and Adaptive Stabilization to film steady while on the move.

Motorola is also bringing its new Frame Match feature to the new edge, allowing each photo to perfectly reflect the user's exact vision. With the ability to lock the frame and simply step into the shot–the perfect background, angle and moment are seamlessly captured.

Power That Keeps Up.

The new motorola edge is built for the long haul, allowing users to go up two days on a single charge, thanks to the massive 5000mAh battery.^1,4

When you do need to charge up, 60W TurboPower™ charging² provides power for the day in just 7 minutes,^1,3 while 15W TurboPower™ wireless charging⁹ refuels the device in 34 minutes – so users can capture the world, binge-watch their favorite shows or stay connected with friends without skipping a beat.

Smart Experience, Fast Performance.

Adding extra convenience to everyday moments, the motorola edge - 2026 offers intuitive AI experiences while giving users their choice in AI assistants like moto ai,¹⁴ Google Gemini¹⁷ or Perplexity.

All capabilities are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7450 processor that's complete with ultra-efficient 4nm technology, which enables smooth gameplay, high-resolution video playback, lighting-fast file transfers and more.

Paired with up to 8GB¹² of the latest generation LPDDR5X memory - the fastest available - it delivers the fast performance needed to edit images smoothly, switch between multiple open apps, and game on the go. Whenever you need extra speed, RAM Boost¹³ temporarily turns available storage into virtual RAM. And with up to 128GB of storage, the device has plenty of room for apps, photos, videos, music, and games, allowing storage concerns to fade into the background.¹²

Sharper. Brighter. Smoother.

All these features come to life through the 6.3" Extreme AMOLED display with Super HD resolution that brings content to life with rich, vibrant color and enhanced clarity. The picture on the new motorola edge is sharper and more detailed, delivering 13% more resolution than standard Full HD (1080p) displays. Plus, the high 120Hz refresh rate ensures fluid scrolling and smoother views,¹¹ while peak brightness of up to 5200 nits—15% brighter than the previous generation^8,10—keeps everything clearly visible.

Powered by Extreme AMOLED technology, the display delivers exceptional contrast, with intense, vivid colors. Every frame gains added depth, creating an immersive viewing experience where details truly stand out.

It's also paired with two stereo speakers that use Dolby technology to deliver an immersive audio experience with greater depth, clarity and detail across all your favorite entertainment. Experience transcendent audio with immersive Dolby Atmos^® content on supporting platforms or enhanced stereo content, whether listening over speakers or headphones.

Experience Clarity, Escape the Noise with moto buds 2.

Building on the immersive audio experience of the motorola edge, Motorola is also expanding its connected ecosystem with the new moto buds 2 - designed to bring powerful, all-day sound²³ and seamless listening on the go, perfectly complementing the new edge's vibrant display for an elevated, on-the-go entertainment setup. The moto buds 2 features an advanced, dual driver audio system combined with Dynamic Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to keep out distractions while smart features and up to 48 hours²³ of total battery backup, including the case, create a fulfilling sound experience.

The moto buds 2 couple premium 11mm Dynamic Drivers and 6mm Micro Planar Magnetic Drivers with Hi-Res audio support. This adds depth, fullness and details to users' anticipated albums, binge-worthy shows and niche podcasts. Consumers get realistic details and clarity with Hi-Res Audio and LHDC, while Dolby Atmos spatial sound¹⁸ provides free-flowing, immersive sound, regardless of the content.

Dynamic ANC (up to 55dB)¹⁹ puts users in control of their sound, keeping background noise out of important calls. It's paired with Transparency Mode, so users can stay aware of their surroundings without needing to remove their buds. Additionally, six microphones with Environmental Noise Cancellation ensures that one's voice sounds clear and professional, making any location suitable for an impromptu meeting.

The moto buds 2 also have enough power for an action-packed day, featuring up to 11 hours²⁴ of playback on a single charge and a total of up to 48 hours of battery life²⁴ with the charging case for ultimate flexibility. When users need to charge their moto buds 2 but only have a moment to spare, they can get 3 hours of playback in just 10 minutes of charging.^20,23

To make each day even smoother, the moto buds 2 offer various smart features. With Dual Connection,²¹ users can connect their moto buds 2 to their phone or laptop and effortlessly move between the two. No pairing or reconnecting needed, thanks to Bluetooth^® 6.0 delivering stronger connectivity and improved speeds. If they want their earbuds to enhance their gameplay, users can open the Moto Buds app to enable Gaming Mode,²¹ which significantly reduces audio latency for in-sync, on-screen action. Owners of the moto buds 2 can also access moto ai²² features on compatible Motorola devices, allowing them to take advantage of Catch me up,¹⁵ Pay attention and Remember this by simply tapping the step of their buds.
