Yet, that’s what the real price of the phone’s 6+128 GB base configuration is.

90Hz display, 64MP rear camera, 5G support, and a 5,000mAh battery

Dissecting the spec sheet of Motorola Edge S, you come across a 6.7-inch FHD+ HDR10 certified display with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a 90Hz refresh rate.

A sufficiently large 5,000mAh battery provides the juice, and supports 20W fast charging too.

In the camera department, you get a 64MP primary snapper at the back that can shoot 4K videos at up to 60FPS frame rate. It sits alongside a 16MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a ToF camera as well. On the front, you’ll find a 16MP primary snapper camera accompanied by an 8MP secondary camera handling the selfie and video calling duties on the Motorola Edge S.

Motorola was recently rumored to be working on the successor of its Motorola Edge+, and it was tipped to be codenamed Nio. But it was revealed that Nio was a G-series device with high-end specifications, including a flagship chipset. Later, a new Motorola device appeared online with the moniker ‘Motorola Edge S’. It was recently teased to officially launch in China. Now, it is tipped that the Motorola Nio/Edge S might indeed be a Moto G-series device for the rest of the world.

According to a report from Gizmochina, Motorola Edge S could debut as Moto G100 outside China. It cites ‘reliable tipsters’ as the source. Further, in an image shared by reliable tipster Evan Blass, the Moto G100 can be seen docked in an HMDI cradle. It seems to allow the device to offer users with desktop PC experience like Samsung DeX. It could debut as Multi-Screen Collaboration feature.

The Motorola Edge S / Moto G100 is tipped to feature an FHD+ (1080 x 2520 pixels) display with a dual punch-hole cutout and a 105Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 870 SoC. It is said to be paired with 8GB of RAM and will run Android 11.

According to the leaked images, it will come equipped with dual punch-hole cutouts to house the selfie shooters. This is not something new though, as we’ve seen this implementation on a few smartphones having two selfie cameras. The main camera uses the 16MP OV16A1Q sensor and is assisted by an 8MP secondary camera that uses Samsung’s S5K4H7 sensor. Other leaked details include a triple rear camera setup that consists of a 64MP main camera, a 16MP wide-angle shooter, and a 2MP depth sensor.

In previously leaked images, the device is seen sporting a dual punch-hole screen at the front. On the rear lies a Moto G 5G Plus-like quad-camera setup. Plus, there’s a “64MP camera” and “Audio Zoom” branding below the camera module.

Motorola teases the Edge S; launch imminent

Posted on by Prakhar Khanna

Motorola was recently rumored to be working on the successor of its Motorola Edge+, and it was tipped to be codenamed Nio. But it was revealed that Nio was a G-series device with high-end specifications, including a flagship chipset. Later, a new Motorola device has appeared online with the moniker ‘Motorola Edge S’. Now, the company has officially teased its presence hinting at an imminent launch.

Motorola’s Weibo page revealed (via) that its next device will be known as Motorola Edge S. The device is likely to be the successor to the Motorola Edge, which was launched last year. The post doesn’t reveal much but well-known Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station had earlier suggested that the handset will be powered by a yet to release Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 series SoC.

Hence, it is being speculated that the Motorola Nio, which was expected to be a Moto G smartphone is actually the Motorola Edge S. It is tipped to feature an FHD+ (1080 x 2520 pixels) display with a dual punch-hole cutout and a 105Hz refresh rate. However, as per a Geekbench listing, the device will be powered by last year’s Qualcomm’s flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 865. It is said to be paired with 8GB of RAM. Plus, it will run Android 11. These features go in line with the initial specs leak. The device scored 958 points and 2969 points in single-core and multi-core tests respectively.
