Motorola has been sending out invitations for an April 22 unveiling of its next flagship phones since last week with the enigmatic “Motorola Flagship Launch E-vent” title, making us wonder what the “e” stands for.

Motorola Edge+ specs, price and release date on Verizon

First off, the processor. As any self-respecting 5G flagship this season, the Motorola Edge+ will be outfitted with a Snapdragon 865 chipset and the accompanying X55 5G modem that will be decked out with Verizon mmWave band antennas to boot. A 12GB RAM and 256GB storage memory situation only adds to the good initial impression.

Moving on to the camera part, here Motorola pulled almost all the stops by equipping the Edge+ with a 108MP shooter like the Galaxy S20 Ultra. The quad-camera kit is completed by a 16MP ultra-wide shooter and an 8MP telephoto camera. Flip the phone over, and you are greeted by a 25MP selfie-taker, says the post, and adds that the rear camera can record up to 6K video.

All in all, Motorola Edge+ sounds like a pretty good tradeoff between specs and pricing. We can do without the extra resolution and refresh rate numbers if their omission gives us a much longer battery life on charge from the gigantic pack, and the lack of periscope zoom is unlikely to impress anyone looking to equip themselves with a top-notch 5G phone in the up-to-a-grand category. What do you think?
