say hello to the infinitely inspiring new motorola edge+

Device delivers powerful suite of features and flawless design for a premium smartphone experience

CHICAGO, May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the new motorola edge+ 2023 arrives in North America, featuring boundless performance, a triple high-res camera system, massive battery and superfast charging – all contained within a unique endless edge design. A device built to empower consumers with a truly premium smartphone experience, the new edge+ elevates all the ways you can consume, create, and connect.

flawless design meets boundless performance

The new motorola edge+ enters North America's premium product portfolio with a flawless, quad-curved, endless edge design crafted for unparalleled comfort. It features a virtually borderless 6.7" pOLED display so the focus is on the device content— not bezels or smudges.

Anti-fingerprint coating on the front and velvet anti-glare glass inlay on the back make the motorola edge+ equally as beautiful as it is comfortable in hand. Both sides of the device are protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® for extra protection against scratches, sharp contact, and drops. Plus, IP68 provides underwater protection¹ up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to 30 minutes.

On the inside, the new motorola edge+ features the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, which features a CPU delivering 35% faster performance and 40% better power efficiency, and a GPU with 25% better performance compared with its predecessor. With this platform, consumers will enjoy a smoother experience with applications running without lag and improved power efficiency that optimizes battery life.

every moment captured in incredible detail

To capture breathtaking images and videos, the motorola edge+ has a triple high-res camera system. The 50MP high-res main camera features OIS, essential for shake-free photos. It also includes instant all-pixel focus, which provides 32x more focusing pixels compared to traditional PDAF, resulting in faster, more accurate performance in any light². The device also comes with a 50MP ultrawide camera with Macro Vision and a 12MP 2x telephoto portrait camera, so users can capture everything from stunning landscapes to extreme close-ups and more flattering portraits. For selfies, the motorola edge+ features a 60MP camera with the Snapdragon Cognitive Image Signal Processor, which uses advanced AI to divide each scene into different segments. This ensures elements like the sky, buildings, landscapes, and skin tones are optimized independently for greater color accuracy and a photo that is more true to life.

Consumers can also record cinematic-quality videos directly on their device, whether in crystal-clear 8K resolution or in 4K HDR10+, to pack over a billion shades of color into their footage. Additionally, Motorola is introducing software features that bring this device's exceptional camera hardware to life, including new video shooting modes to inspire creativity, such as:

• Night Vision: When shooting videos in low-light environments, users can switch to Night Vision mode for video to capture brighter footage with more detail, better clarity, and more accurate color.
• Horizon Lock Stabilization: When engaging in extreme sports like mountain biking or skiing, this feature keeps the user's shots stabilized and locked onto the horizon — even while rotating the smartphone up to a full 360° during action scenes.
• Auto Focus Tracking: Users can enable this feature to keep the subject crystal-clear and in focus even when it's in motion throughout the frame.
• Portrait (bokeh): In Video Mode, users can select Portrait Video , a bokeh setting, to automatically create soft-focus backgrounds in your videos. It utilizes a new AI-based algorithm to create a beautiful, cinematic blur effect behind the subject.

The edge+ additionally supports HDR10+.

A breathtaking display experience should be complemented by powerhouse audio. That's why the new edge+ also comes equipped with Dolby Atmos®, which delivers a richer audio experience that brings out more depth, clarity, and details in your favorite entertainment, whether enjoyed over headphones or through the smartphone's two large stereo speakers. Plus, Motorola Spatial Sound makes the sound coming from users' headphones or speakers feel more immersive as it fills the space around them when they're listening to music or playing games.
