The Lenovo brand has had a busy August, and in addition to introducing the new foldable Razr and X30 Pro, it has just added another highlight, the Motorola Edge 2022, which is located in the segment premium mid range increasingly competitive.

The new Edge drives a 6.6-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution and refresh rate 144 Hz. Its maximum brightness rises to 1500 nits, which should favor its use outdoors as a lot of light. It is IP52 certified against water and dust, which is enough to survive accidental spills or light rain.

The front of the display has a cutout for the 32-megapixel selfie camera. The rear camera is a triple sensor, with a 50MP main, a 13MP ultra-wide and a depth sensor.

Its internal hardware has been upgraded with a chipset Size 1050. It is the most advanced MediaTek, although most major Motorola terminals continue to use Qualcomm chips. The Dimensity 1050 is, of course, an advanced SoC manufactured by TSMC in 6nm processes, and in addition to its eight cores and Mali-G610 MC3 GPU, it is the first from the Chinese brand to support mmWave 5G networks (sub-6 GHz), Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.

Motorola Edge 2022 has a 5000 mAh battery with 30W fast charging, 15W wireless charging and 5W reverse wireless charging for sharing with another device. The manufacturer states that it will have enough autonomy for two days of use.

Motorola is stepping up its commitment to software support, which – apart from Google itself – has always stood out. The terminal will ship with Android 12 and will offer three years of major Android updates and four years of security updates that will be rolled out every two months.

Motorola Edge 2022 will have an official price 499 dollars as an initial promotion. It is not cheap, but it is significantly lower than the previous generation of this series. It will be released by T-Mobile in the United States, but will soon arrive in international markets.
