TL; DR
- Motorola Edge 20 Pro renders show a flat panel TV with no curved edges.
- The device is expected to hit the market on August 5th along with the standard Edge 20.
- Rumor has it that it includes the Snapdragon 870 SoC and a 108 MP camera.
Motorola is preparing to unveil a new line of phones on August 5th, namely the Motorola Edge 20 and Edge 20 Pro. A new leak from Tipster Evan Blass now shows us the latter in all its glory.
The Motorola Edge 20 Pro, unlike the previously leaked standard Edge 20 with a flat screen, should get curved edges like the Edge and Edge Plus from last year. These curved sides gave users access to shortcuts and were illuminated for calls, alarms, notifications and top-ups. Unfortunately, the new Edge 20 Pro also seems to have a flat display in the leaked renders. So the edge functionality that gave the series its name will most likely be missing from the new crop. On the other hand, we’ve seen Motorola drop the curved display even on the Motorola Edge S, which launched earlier this year with a flat 90Hz panel.
In addition to the flattened display, the Motorola Edge 20 Pro (formerly known as Edge 20 Plus) has a triple camera stack on the back. The primary shooter is shown in the renderings as a 108MP camera. Rumors have it that a 16 MP ultra-wide sensor and an 8 MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom will complete the setup.
The renders don’t actually show a physical fingerprint sensor, so the phone is likely a candidate for an in-display fingerprint sensor. There is a punch hole camera at the top which is believed to be a 32 MP selfie shooter.
Like the Motorola Edge S, the Edge 20 Pro is said to be a mid-range model with the Snapdragon 870 chipset. The SoC is slightly faster than last year’s flagship Snapdragon 865 Plus and has 5G connectivity, so it should be pretty powerful. It is expected to be paired with 6/8/12 GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB of storage. A 4,500 mAh battery could power the package.
In addition to the rendering, Blass also posted a background image of the Edge 20 Pro. You can save a copy of the above image if you feel like it.
