Motorola has officially introduced the Motorola Edge 50, a smartphone that boasts an intriguing combination of design and functionality. The device, available in three colors including Jungle Green, Pantone Peach Fuzz, and Koala Grey, features a vegan leather finish for the first two colors and a vegan suede backside for the third, adding a touch of sophistication to its appearance.

One of the most notable claims by Motorola is that the Edge 50 is the "world's slimmest MIL-STD-810H military grade certified" smartphone, showcasing a remarkable blend of durability and sleek design. The phone also comes with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, further enhancing its robustness.

The front of the device boasts a 6.67-inch pOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and an impressive peak brightness of 1,900 nits. While the official dimensions are yet to be disclosed, the product photos suggest a remarkably thin profile. The display is expected to offer a 120Hz refresh rate, providing smooth and responsive visuals.

Turning to the camera capabilities, the Motorola Edge 50 features a 50-megapixel main camera, a 10MP telephoto camera with "30x zoom" (likely 3x optical zoom), and a 13MP ultrawide camera with a 120-degree field of view. Additionally, it houses a 32MP selfie camera, ensuring high-quality photography and videography.

Under the hood, the device is powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset and offers 256GB of storage, supported by a 5,000 mAh battery with 68-watt wired charging and 15W wireless charging. The choice of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, previously used in the Motorola Razr 2023, raises curiosity about its performance in 2024.

On the software front, the Motorola Edge 50 ships with Android 14 and promises three years of OS upgrades and four years of security patches, ensuring a seamless and secure user experience.

The Motorola Edge 50 is scheduled to launch in India on August 1, with the price yet to be announced. While its availability in the U.S. remains uncertain, the device's innovative features and sleek design make it a compelling addition to Motorola's smartphone lineup.
