Verizon will carry Motorola’s flagship phone, the Motorola Edge+

Verizon is one of the biggest pushers of 5G here in the U.S. They have several 5G-capable smartphones in their lineup and have continued to light up 5G in more cities. Today, the company was demonstrating its 5G network speeds when they spilled the beans on an upcoming Motorola phone with 5G, which should be the Motorola Edge+.

The press release was about the company achieving 4.2 Gbps on its 5G network, but they also mentioned an upcoming Motorola phone. Verizon doesn’t share many details, other than it is “powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Mobile Platform with the Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System.” Earlier this month, we shared photos of a Motorola device with these specifications.

Motorola confirmed late last year that they would be releasing a phone with the Snapdragon 865. We originally thought this device could be called the “Motorola One 5G,” but we now know the name and even have the logo. The Motorola Edge+ will be the company’s first true flagship since the Moto Z3, and our Editor-in-Cheif Mishaal Rahman has more information about it.

The Edge+ will have the aforementioned Snapdragon 865 SoC, a 6.67-inch 2340 x 1080 waterfall display with 90Hz refresh rate, up to 12GB of RAM, and a battery over 5,000 mAh. These specifications certainly put the device in the flagship market and it will compete with the likes of the Galaxy S20 Ultra.

Verizon did not share any information about when we can expect to see this 5G Motorola phone, but we’d guess it won’t be long from now. What do you think of this flagship Motorola phone? Are you ready to give the Motorola Edge+ a chance?
