A new Motorola phone just leaked, and it could beat the Galaxy S24 Ultra

Motorola is said to be readying a new flagship in the Edge series, but it seems leaks will leave no surprises for the official reveal. In addition to a sneak peek at its design, leaked specifications suggest it could go tow-to-tow with Samsung’s Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The folks over at Android Headlines have leaked what looks like marketing renders of the upcoming Motorola Edge 50 Pro, a device that will likely arrive as Motorola Edge Plus (2024) in the U.S. market.

If the rumored product renders are anything to go by, Motorola is not willing to let go of its signature design element. Like the past two generations of high-end phones in the Edge family, the yet-to-be-announced entrant will also embrace a sleek side profile with a dramatically curved display.

It looks like 2024 will be a year of more design experiments for Motorola. The purple shade appears to rock a faux leather surface finish, apparently inspired by the treatment Motorola has lately given to some of its foldable phones. Then we have the black variant, which seemingly borrows some inspiration from the sandstone finish of older OnePlus phones.

Finally, we have a white shade paired with a platinum-esque metallic side frame. We’re not sure if it’s a fabric-inspired finish or something inspired by mineral derivates, as was the case with the excellent OnePlus 11 Marble Odyssey Edition. I quite like the minimalist camera island at the back, which blends neatly with the rest of the rear panel. We’ve recently seen a similar look on the Oppo Find X5 in a stunning pearly white colorway.

The leak mentions a 6.7-inch OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, one of the highest you will find on any smartphone out there, gaming or otherwise. Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip runs the show inside, paired with up to 12GB of RAM, while a 50-megapixel primary sensor headlines the triple camera array at the back.

Another area where the Motorola Edge Plus (2024) shines is the charging technology. The 4,500mAh battery fitted inside that svelte chassis reportedly supports 125W wired fast charging, potentially making it the fastest-charging phone on U.S. soil. To put that into perspective, those figures are roughly three to four times higher than those of Samsung and Apple’s current-gen flagship phones.

Moreover, the upcoming phone is said to support 50W wireless charging, which is once again faster than what Apple and Samsung have managed to touch so far with wires. It seems Motorola wants to take the fast-charging crown from OnePlus, which currently allows 100W charging for the OnePlus 12.

The Motorola Edge Plus (2024) is reportedly launching on April 3 in China, but there is no official clarity on a stateside market release. The Lenovo-owned company has typically slapped a competitive price tag on its Edge series phones, and it would be interesting to see if the upcoming Motorola entrant carries over that legacy. Last year’s Motorola Edge Plus (2023) was a smashing success, so we’re eager to see how its successor turns out.

We've been discussing Samsung Galaxy S24 FE leaks for a long time. Here’s another one to pique your interest in the soon-to-be-announced phone. It comes from an unboxing video posted by leaker Evan Blass (and spotted by 9to5Google).

The new video shows that Samsung’s next “fan edition” phone is expected to launch in five colors: Blue, Graphite, Gray, Mint, and Yellow. It also shows that Samsung’s “ProVisual Engine” is present on the phone to improve lowlight imagery.

A disappointing Samsung Galaxy S25 spec just leaked

We're back with yet another leak regarding the Samsung Galaxy S25, but this one is not exciting news. According to leaked certification specs in China, the Samsung Galaxy S25 will only support 25-watt charging, while the Galaxy S25 Plus will support 45W. For reference, these are the same specs as the S24 and S24 Plus.

If you're charging from zero to 100%, there isn't that big of a difference in charge times between a 25W and a 45W charger — but it's charging to lower percentages where the difference is evident. Think about it like this: if you're leaving the house in 15 minutes and won't be near a charger for a while, you want the most charge you can get in a short window. Charging at 45W results in significantly greater battery power than 25W in the same time frame, up to around 70% to 80% of the battery.

Forget about the iPhone 16. New iPhone 18 details just leaked

Apple has just announced the iPhone 16 series, handsets that will not even be released until tomorrow. However, we now have possible news about the iPhone 18 coming from Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst with a good track record when it come to Apple rumors.

According to Kuo, some of the 2026 iPhone models will likely be equipped with a 2nm chip, which will make them even faster and more efficient than chips found in earlier models. The news isn’t all good. The lower-end iPhone 18 models are expected to feature 3nm processors again, and you will have to pay extra for the 2nm ones, which may only be available in the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
