The Smartphone That Will BLOW Your Mind

| The Motorola Edge Plus |
Thoughts on the Motorola Edge Plus:
Motorola launched its
first Flagship phone in years. This phone is right in line with the
other flagships in the market that are the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and
the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The key tagline Motorola used for this phone is the 'World's Fastest 5G Phone'.
How much does the Motorola Edge Plus cost?
The phone starts at
$999! In India, you can expect the price of this phone to be around Rs.
76,490, and in Bangladesh, you can expect it to be around 84913 BDT. Yes, it is right beside all the other flagship phones out there in the market right now.
I do not know if it is a
good thing for the company but I do feel the phone is a bit pricey
keeping in mind that not a lot of people have bought Motorola phones in
recent years.
1. The Display

| The Display |
The display is a 6.7"
OLED display. With the resolution of 1080*2340 pixels. The display has a
refresh rate of 90 Hz and the phone feels super snappy. The display is
protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The phone has an aspect ratio of
21:9 that is why the phone does not feel huge.
Motorola says that the display curves almost 90 degrees and that is why the phone is called the Motorola Edge Plus
The phone has a feature
to light up the edge display when the phone is upside down. This happens
when you have notification coming. Even when you charge the phone the
edge display lights up to give a cool animation.
If you double-tap on the
edge it can turn On/Off the edge display for you. There are of course
other features that will help you to switch between apps
2. 5G
As I mentioned the Motorola Edge Plus is 5G capable. It works both on sub-6 an mmWave frequencies.
This is not new but in
the USA only some regions have this privilege and only Verizon is
selling it. Verizon already has mmWave frequency and they said by the
end of 2020 they will also add sub-6 frequencies too.
This means the phones that are sold elsewhere will have more feasibility when connecting to next-generation networks.
3. Camera

It feels like Motorola
went full throttle in the Camera department. The primary sensor is a
massive 108 MP camera with an aperture of f/1.8 with Optical Image
Stabilization (OIS). The telephoto lens is an 8 MP camera with f/2.4
with 3x Optical zoom. The ultrawide camera is quite interesting because
you can get super close to subjects to take macro photographs. The
Ultrawide lens is a 16 MP lens with an aperture of f/2.2.
The main shooter can
take 6K UHD videos. This is one of the rare times we have seen a video
setting between 4k and 8k. Motorola says pause a 6K video recording and
you can get a 24 MP still image, impressive right?
You can still take 4K 30 fps videos and 1080p @ up to 120 fps.
The selfie camera is a
hole-punch camera on the top left which is a 25 MP lens with an aperture
of f/2.0. This camera is quite good with typical Motorola color
accuracies. This camera uses pixel-binning.
4. The Battery
The Motorola Edge Plus
has a 5000 mAh battery and since the phone's resolution is set at FHD
and the refresh rate is 90 HZ you can expect a good amount of battery
from this phone.
You can fast charge this
phone at only 15W as well as wirelessly charge the phone at 15 W too if
your wireless charger supports that.
The Motorola Edge Plus can also do reverse wireless charging.
5. The Specifications
the Motorola Edge Plus
comes in with Android 10, Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 865, and 12GB of
RAM. Up to 256 GB of internal storage. Moreover, this phone has a
headphone jack.
Conclusion
The phone has a bright
display which is good. It has the 3.5mm headphone jack also good. Sub-6
and mmWave frequency 5G connectivity which is the best.
But I feel the phone is
too pricey for what we are getting. The phone is thicker than most other
flagship phones out there. Also, the display is not as sharp as it
could get or other flagships are offering.
These were my thoughts let me know yours below.
