It can now last up to 36 hours on a single charge
Motorola has officially revealed its new, mid-range smartphone: the Edge (2024), a device that shares a lot of similarities with last year’s model but does deliver a few key differences.
The most notable among these is the chipset as instead of MediaTek hardware, it gets a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC (system on a chipset). From the online benchmark tests we’ve seen, this chip won’t allow the Edge (2024) to outperform the 2023 version. It’s not a direct upgrade, but does deliver comparable performance.
It does give Motorola the opportunity to charge less for its device, specifically just $550. It’s $50 cheaper than the previous generation, which Motorola is still charging $600 for.
If you want extra power, the Edge (2024) has RAM Boost, which turns unused storage left in your 256GB drive into virtual RAM. It normally has 8GB of memory, which should be fine for casual browsing. However, the boost tool can come in handy if you’re streaming a movie or playing a game.
