While Motorola has yet to officially announce the Edge 50, leaks and rumors paint a picture of a mid-range smartphone with promising features. Here’s a look at what we can expect from the Motorola Edge 50 based on currently available information.
Processor and Performance
The Edge 50 is rumored to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC. This mid-range processor is designed to offer good performance for everyday tasks and decent gaming capabilities. It should be a step up from the Snapdragon 778G found in the Motorola Edge 30 Fusion. Paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, the Edge 50 should provide smooth multitasking and handle most apps without breaking a sweat.
Display
The Edge 50 is expected to sport a large 6.7-inch POLED display with a FHD+ (1080 x 2400 pixels) resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The high refresh rate display should offer a smoother and more responsive experience, especially for gamers and those who enjoy watching videos.
Cameras
The camera system on the Edge 50 is a bit unclear at this point. Leaks suggest a triple-rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor, likely accompanied by ultrawide and depth sensors. The front-facing camera is rumored to be a 32MP shooter for high-resolution selfies and video calls.
Battery and Charging
The Edge 50 is expected to pack a decent 5000mAh battery, which should offer good stamina on a single charge. The phone is also rumored to support 68W fast charging, allowing you to quickly power up your device when needed.
Software
The Edge 50 is expected to launch with Android 14, the latest version of Google’s operating system. This means you’ll have access to the newest features and security updates. Motorola is known for its near-stock Android experience, which means you won’t be bogged down by unnecessary bloatware.
Design and Build
There’s no official word on the design of the Edge 50, but considering Motorola’s recent offerings, we can expect a sleek and stylish phone. The Edge 50 Fusion, a related model, is rumored to have an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, which would be a welcome addition for added durability.
Availability and Pricing
Motorola has yet to announce the official launch date or pricing for the Edge 50. However, rumors suggest it might launch alongside the Motorola Edge 50 Pro on April 3rd, possibly in India first, with a global launch to follow. Pricing details are unknown, but considering its rumored mid-range specifications, it should be competitively priced compared to other mid-range offerings.
