Motorola Edge 20 Specs, Price and Best Deals

Turns out Motorola made a jump in nomenclature to offering us the Motorola Edge 20 in place of what would have been expected to be the Edge 2 as a successor to the Motorola Edge. Keeping nomenclature aside, we offered a very substantial list of upgrades which will be divulged in this article.

Design and Display

Whats up with the Motorola Edge 20’s design? Well in my opinion there is really nothing to be excited about here, especially when you compare it to what was served on the first gen edge.

The traditional edge design isn’t as prominent as seen on its predecessor, but we do have altogether a design that could pass as top-notch.

On the rear, we have a gradient system that happens to be more pronounced than what we saw on its predecessor. The cameras have also be placed in a square surrounding. But we do have the Motorola emblem in the fingerprint sensor, which has pretty much been seen on many Motorola smartphones.

Moving up front, we have a 6.7-inch display with a resolution and density of 1080 x 2400 Pixels and approx 385 PPI respectively as seen on the first-gen Edge. But note that we have a 144Hz refresh rate here as opposed to a 90Hz refresh rate on the former.

The main difference here is the appearance of the display is firstly the shift from having the punch hole camera on the left side to the middle. Plus this display appears to be on a flatter side.

The colour options available on this Android smartphone include Frosted Grey, Frosted White, and Frosted Emerald.

The Cameras

The Motorola Moto Edge 20 packs in more pixels as an improvement over its predecessor. Here we have a 108MP primary camera as opposed to a 64MP as seen on the first-gen edge.

But we do have the same 8MP telephoto camera with an aperture of f/2.4 and the same 16MP ultrawide camera with an aperture of 119˚. Video recording on this camera is capped at 4k @ 30fps.

On the selfie side, we have a 32MP camera with an aperture of f/2.3, as opposed to the 25MP camera on the former. This 32MP camera is capable of recording videos up to 1080p @ 30fps.

Hardware and Software

The best way to describe the Motorola Edge 20 provisions over the first edge offering, in my opinion, would be a step up a notch.

It falls in the same mid-range category as its predecessor. However, it does feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7785 5G processor as opposed to the Snapdragon 765 5G processor on the former.

We also have a higher RAM at 8GB, as opposed to the 4GB / 6GB variants on the former. However, the 128GB / 256GB storage variants were retained.

The battery capacity dropped by 500mAh, leaving us with a 4000mAh battery as opposed to 4500mAh on the former, but we do have a 30W fast charge here as opposed to 18W on the former.

On the software side, the Motorola Edge 20 runs its interface on top of the Android 11 operating system.
