Motorola Edge+ gets Android 11 update that brings a useful Ready For hub

Posted on March 17, 2021 by Nadeem Sarwar

Motorola re-entered the flagship segment late last year with the Edge+, offering high-end innards packed inside a sleek profile that was priced at a cool $1,000. Being a flagship, and especially one that ran a near-stock experience, we had hopes that the phone will get Android updates at a steady pace and on a timely basis. We were wrong. But hey, it’s better later than never, after all. The Verizon-locked unit of the Motorola Edge+ is finally getting the Android 11 upgrade.

Ready For is essentially a Samsung DeX equivalent for Motorola Edge+

Android 11 brings the usual set of goodies such as chat bubbles, a native screen recorder, media controls, dark theme scheduling, and one-time app permissions to name a few. However, the update also adds another very helpful feature called Ready For that is exclusive to the Motorola Edge+ at the moment.

Ready For is actually a hub that tries to replicate what DeX does with premium Samsung phones – allowing users to extend their phone’s software to a larger screen such as a monitor and control the UI using external accessories. Coming back to the Ready For hub, you can connect the Motorola Edge+ to a TV or monitor via a USB-C to USB-C cable. And to get a full desktop experience, you can throw in a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the mix as well, while games can be enjoyed using a controller on a TV.

Once you connect the Motorola Edge+ to a monitor, you will see four options on the phone’s screen:

Mobile desktop: For mirroring your phone’s UI on a larger display, complete with support for running multiple apps at once. Aside from supporting keyboard and mouse input, the phone’s screen also doubles as a trackpad.

TV: This one aggregates video-watching apps such as YouTube and Netflix.

Video: As the name makes it abundantly clear, this one is for video calling apps such as Google Duo. You can use the phone’s 108MP main camera as a high-resolution webcam for an enhanced video calling experience. Users will also be able to switch between the wide-angle and the 3x zoom telephoto cameras as well.

Game: You will find all your games here, which you can play on a monitor or a TV using a Bluetooth controller.

Posted on October 9, 2020October 9, 2020 by Prakhar Khanna

Motorola has announced a slew of offers on its smartphones for Flipkart’s Big Billion Days sale. The company will sell its flagship devices including the foldable RAZR and Edge+ at discounted prices during the sale that is scheduled to kick off on October 16. For reference, it is the 2019 RAZR that will be on sale, and not the latest one. However, Rs. 84,999 is an exciting price tag for a foldable phone.

Starting with the flagship Motorola Razr, the phone is listed at Rs. 1,24,999 on Flipkart as of now. To recall, the device received a Rs. 30,000 price cut but it was limited to offline retails. Now, the company has revealed that it will be selling the foldable phone at a discount of Rs. 40,000, which brings down the price to Rs. 84,999. It will be made available in Noir Black color.

Coming to the Motorola Edge+, it was launched at Rs. 74,999, which wasn’t taken very well by many. Now, the company will be offering a Rs. 10,000 discount on the product. The device was launched in May, and now it will be sold for Rs. 64,999. It comes in a single 12GB RAM + 128GB storage configuration, while it is available in two color options of Smoky Sangria and Thunder Grey.

As for the mid-range offering, the Motorola Fusion+ will also be seeing a discount of Rs. 1,500. To recall, the product was launched at Rs. 16,999 but received a Rs. 500 price hike soon after. It is available for Rs. 17,499 as of now. However, Motorola will be selling the Fusion+ at Rs. 15,999. We reviewed the device and it was a decent offering at that time. You can read our review here. The device comes in sole 6GB + 128GB storage model and is available in Twilight Blue and Moonlight White color options.

There will also be discounts on Moto E7 Plus and Moto G9. The former will sell for Rs. 8,999 after a Rs. 500 discount while the latter will be available for Rs. 9,999 after a Rs. 1,500 discount.

Motorola promises two major Android OS updates for its $1000 Edge+

Posted on May 13, 2020May 13, 2020 by Prakhar Khanna

Motorola announced a flagship device after about two years, but it didn’t promise any updates for the Motorola Edge+ at the time of launch.

The company has now changed its stance and announced that the device will get two major Android OS updates.

In a statement given to Droid Life, Motorola promised “at least two Android OS updates” for the Edge+.

It is a welcome move for the fans since expensive flagships should be supported with major OS updates for more than two years. This is one area where Android phones tend to fall behind iPhones.
