Motorola has three new 5G phones in store for buyers next month, with one starting as low as €350 ($416). But Motorola fans in the US are out of luck. The new devices are only arriving in international markets. The new phone lineup — the €350 Motorola Edge 20 Lite, €500 ($594) Edge 20 and €700 ($832) Edge 20 Pro — all feature three rear camera lenses and sub-6Ghz 5G connectivity, allowing them to tap into the slower but more reliable 5G networks being rolled out across the globe. The Edge 20 will arrive in August in select markets across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, while the Lite and Pro version will come to the same regions, as well as the Middle East. While they won’t arrive in the US, Motorola said it «is excited to share its commitment to deliver a new 5G Edge family device in North America this fall.» The first 5G phones available in 2019 cost significantly more than their 4G counterparts. But the coronavirus pandemic has forced handset makers to reevaluate their launch plans and drop pricing for 5G phones much more quickly than many market watchers had expected.
