Motorola Edge Plus is relying on this brand, which might not be the most memorable you’ve ever heard, to reenter the top smartphone market.
And even while the branding may use some improvement, the actual phone proves that Motorola still has what it takes to make a standout flagship. The Motorola Edge Plus (2023) meets all the requirements for a contemporary Android smartphone. There is the most recent processor from Qualcomm, a sizable battery that charges quickly, a trio of cameras, and a sizable display with a quick refresh rate. It doesn’t take long to understand why Motorola believes it has a winner when you combine all of it with a sleek design and an asking price of $800.
Motorola Edge Plus Has Impressive Specifications
The Motorola Edge Plus (2023) has a nice, albeit rather dull, initial impression. The phone features a gigantic 6.7-inch curved display that dominates the front, a camera bump that isn’t overly enormous and is available in any color you want—as long as it’s black. The rear of the phone has a delicate frosted finish that shimmers in the light. Although the glass back is a little bit more slippery than I’d like, the velvety surface Motorola gave it feels fantastic and barely shows any fingerprints. The weight is also great. The Edge Plus weighs only 203 grams, which is much less than the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s 240 grams and the 234 grams of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Naturally, there are also curves. The Edge Plus (2023) has curved edges on the back and front of the phone, returning the curved display that was present in the Edge Plus (2022) from a year earlier. The Motorola Edge Plus (2023) has exceptional grip thanks to its curves, smooth back, and light design.
