Today, Motorola introduced the newest addition to its edge family: the Motorola edge 30. Featuring a powerful 50MP camera system, an ultra-smooth 144Hz 6.5″ FHD+ OLED display, multidimensional Dolby Atmos® sound and the power-efficient Snapdragon® 778G+ 5G Mobile Platform, the new edge device has everything you could want to be packed into a sleek, modern design.

 

Coming in at 6.79mm, the edge 30 is the thinnest 5G smartphone in its class so it takes up less room in your pocket, fits comfortably in your hand, and is still packed with amazing technology inside. Motorola has also given it an eye-catching look, with subtle, jewel-like patterns that shift and change as you tilt the phone from side to side for complexity and depth.

State-of-the-art camera features

The edge 30 boasts a 50 MP Ultra-wide camera sensor, 32 MP dedicated front-facing camera, and Motorola’s most advanced 50 MP high-res camera that uses the new flagship standard for autofocus, Instant All-Pixel Focus.  Whereas traditional focus technologies use around 3% of pixels, Instant All Pixel Focus uses 100% of pixels in both vertical and horizontal patterns to get faster, more accurate performance in any light and enables you to shoot with 32x more focusing pixels.

Other camera benefits include being able to capture sharp details in the daytime, and then as night falls, the camera lets in more light by combining every four pixels into one massive ultra-pixel. Plus, Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), eliminates unwanted shakes, so you’re set to shoot the best photos in a whole new way. And the brilliance goes beyond photos – you can record HDR10 videos with over a billion shades of colour for more lifelike storytelling than ever before.

 

Often, camera quality suffers in 3rd party apps like TikTok, WhatsApp and Instagram, but with the edge 30, Motorola paid special attention to performance in areas like facial rendering, front camera video recording or video chats, and significant noise reduction when capturing still images – making it a content creator’s dream device.

 

Your favourite TV shows and games can also come to life thanks to the 6.5″ OLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ that meets DCI-P3 cinematic standards for colour range, brightness, colour accuracy, and contrast level, so you can view everything in over a billion shades of colour. The two large stereo speakers, packed with the multidimensional sound of Dolby Atmos®, accompany the screen and will help deliver a more immersive viewing experience.

Potent performance and power

You will experience a huge performance boost in everything from the games you play to the videos you record thanks to the power of the Snapdragon 778G+. Download, stream, and video chat without lag and connect to the fastest Wi-Fi 6E networks with an advanced modem for more than you ever thought possible. The newest edge has up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage, ensuring you never slow down on the go.

With Motorola edge 30 you can also unleash your device with Ready For, which amplifies everything your phone is capable of. Simply connect wirelessly to a monitor or your TV and you’re ready to go.

 

The Motorola edge 30 also doesn’t substitute impressive 5G usage and speeds for short battery life. The powerful 4020 mAh battery is built to last and support the impressive features of the Motorola edge 30. If you need power fast, TurboPower™ 30 gives you hours of power in just minutes of charging. 

Availability and Pricing

The Motorola edge 30 arrives in the UK in early May with a starting RRP of £379.99 and will be available in Currys and motorola.co.uk.  The new device will also roll out to selected markets in Asia, Australia, India, Latin America and the Middle East in the coming weeks.
