Motorola has updated its Edge lineup with the new Motorola Edge (2022). This upper midrange phone debuted in the US and is the first smartphone to pack the Dimensity 1050 chipset. So, let’s look at the specs, features, excepted price, and availability of the Motorola Edge (2022) in Nepal.
Motorola Edge (2022) Overview:
Design and Display
Motorola has not brought drastic changes when it comes to design. Moto Edge (2022) is available in a sleek Mineral Gray color and measures 7.99mm in terms of thickness. The power button and volume rockers are on the right-hand side. Additionally, the Edge is IP52 certified.
For display, Motorola uses a 6.6″ OLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. It has a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, HDR10+ certification, and a 20:9 aspect ratio. Motorola Edge (2022) has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner instead of an in-display one that was on its predecessor.
Performance
Performance on the Motorola Edge (2022) is handled by the Dimensity 1050. As aforementioned, it is the first phone to ship with this processor. The Dimensity 1050 is based on a 6nm process and comprises two Cortex-A78 clocked at 2.5GHz, and six Cortex-A55 cores with 2.0GHz clock speed. The Mali-G610 GPU handles graphics.
On the Motorola US site, the handset is currently listed in only a single memory configuration with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Motorola also offers free 100GB of Google One storage for a year.
Camera
The triple rear camera system on the Motorola Edge (2022) is led by a 50MP sensor with OIS. Accompanying the sensor is a 13MP ultrawide camera with 120-degree FoV which also doubles as a macro shooter. Finally, there is also a depth sensor. For selfies and video conferences, there is a 32MP sensor up front.
Rest of the specs
A 5,000mAh cell with up to two days of battery life powers the Motorola Edge (2022). The phone supports 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. You have a stereo speaker setup with Dolby Atmos for audio. Unfortunately, it does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
For connectivity, the Motorola Edge (2022) has mmWave 5G, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6E, and GPS. It also has NFC capabilities. It, like its predecessor, only accepts a single SIM card.
