Motorola unveiled the 2024 Moto Edge<\/a> on Tuesday. The $550 mid-range phone is slightly more expensive than the Pixel 8a<\/a> but has different strengths and weaknesses. It will be available starting on June 20.<\/p>\n The 2024 Motorola Edge combines the mid-range Snapdragon 7s G<\/a>en 2 processor with a 6.6-inch pOLED display (much larger than the Pixel 8a\u2019s 6.1-inch display) at 2400 x 1080 resolution (402ppi). It supports a 144Hz variable refresh rate and a 360Hz touch rate that\u2019s only available when using the handset in Game Mode.<\/p>\n The 2024 Moto Edge has a big 5,000mAh battery and fast 68-watt wired \u201cTurboPower\u201d charging. It also has 256GB of built-in storage and 8GB of RAM.<\/p>\n Its main camera is a 50MP shooter using Sony\u2019s LY7-700C sensor. The phone\u2019s backside includes a 13MP ultra-wide lens, while a 32MP sensor sits on the front.<\/p>\n As companies tend to do in 2024, Motorola pointed out the handset\u2019s AI capabilities, in this case when using Google Photos (Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur and Google Auto Enhance). Of course, that pales in comparison to the Pixel 8a\u2019s full suite of Tensor G3-powered<\/a> AI tools, also including Audio Magic Eraser, Best Take and unlimited uses of the Magic Editor.<\/p>\n The phone is 7.99 mm (0.31 inch) thick and weighs 174g. Its back is made of blue synthetic leather, which should provide a reasonably sophisticated look and feel without killing any cows. It has an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, meaning it can withstand up to half an hour of submersion in 1.5 meters of water.<\/p>\n Beginning on June 20, the 2024 Moto Edge will be available unlocked for $550 on Motorola\u2019s website, Amazon and Best Buy. The company says \u201csubsequent availability\u201d will roll out later at T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, Spectrum, Consumer Cellular, Straight Talk, Total By Verizon and Visible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
