We just found out about the upcoming
Motorola Edge Lite's existence through an FCC certification, and now the
handset's full specs have been leaked. As the name implies, the Edge Lite will
be the third member of Motorola's new Edge family, and the lowest-end of the
bunch. Despite the Edge branding, it won't have the waterfall display of its
siblings.
The screen will be a 6.7" 1080x2520
panel with 21:9 aspect ratio and 90Hz refresh rate, and an in-display
fingerprint sensor. A dual hole-punch cutout gets top-left positioning for an 8
MP selfie camera and a 2 MP depth sensor next to it.
On the back the main snapper will be a 48
MP Samsung unit. Also on the back, three more cameras: 16 MP, 8 MP, 5 MP. We
don't know exactly what these are for, but expect one of them to be ultrawide
and the 5 MP one either a depth sensor or a dedicated macro cam.
The Edge Lite will be powered by
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 765, just like the Edge. Versions will exist with 4 and
6GB of LPDDR4X RAM, as well as 64 or 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. It will have a
4,800 mAh battery with 18W fast charging, NFC, 5G, dual-SIM (not all models),
USB-C. It will run Android 10 and the international model will feature a
dedicated key for Google Assistant. The iteration destined for Verizon may not.
The Motorola Edge Lite will be offered in
Prussian, Surfing Blue, Azury, Soft White color versions in the US on Verizon,
in Japan, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. In Europe its pricing
seems to be € 399 or thereabouts, at least for the entry-level version with 4GB
of RAM and 64GB of storage. It's unclear exactly when the Edge Lite will become
official, so stay tuned for more info as we get it.
