![]() ![]() Both the phones pack Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC, the flagship SoC from the chipmaker. Last but not least, the Edge Plus 2023 is also capable of 15W wireless charging and 5W wireless power sharing.OnePlus 9 Pro and OnePlus 9 have been delisted from Geekbench after they were reported to tweak CPU and GPU performance. We still have to check the claim in real life. As the OEM mentioned 2-day battery life, we assume that we could get about 50% charge in 9 minutes. Motorola claims one day of autonomy in only 9 minutes of charging. One of the features we love the most is the 68W TurboPower fast-charging adapter provided. ![]() The massive 5100 mAh battery is expected to deliver a great battery life, as it is larger than the ones we find in most of its flagship competition (most top devices have 5000 mAh). The device comes with Android 13 and will get three years of Android upgrades, and is compatible with the Lenovo ThinkReality A3 smart glasses. The latest and most powerful Snapdragon chip allows the new Motorola smartphone to deliver 40% better power efficiency, compared to the previous model. We did not run the performance benchmarks, but we expect the phone to rank among the best Android smartphones of 2023 as measured on Geekbench (CPU) and GFX Bench (graphics performance). The system relies on 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. We expect the Motorola Edge Plus 2023 to deliver top-notch system performance, thanks to its Qualcomm flagship SoC, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Motorola developed new video modes including Night Vision, Horizon Lock (stabilization even when rotating 360 degrees for extreme sports), Auto-focus tracking (keeps subject sharp even in motion), and video portrait (bokeh effect in the background). The video capabilities are quite good, you can record up to 8K UHD at 30fps, 4K UHD Today, a lot of OEMs tend to cut back on optical zoom features to reduce costs, as consumers do not use such lenses as much as the wide-angle and ultrawide shooters. Its 48 MP telephoto with OIS and a 5X optical gave an advantage to the Pixel 7 pro over the Motorola Edge Plus 2023 for the final overall score. The OnePlus 11 is slightly higher at 178. The Motorola Edge Plus 2023 has an Ubergizmo CAMERA HW score of 172 which is slightly higer than the Samsung Galaxy S23 at 166 but lower than the Google Pixel 7 Pro, that deliver a 191 CAMERA HW score. Using our CAMERA HW benchmark, we can rank the quality of this camera system only based on the technical specifications, however we have proven that there is a direct relation between the hardware quality and the image capture quality. Only the wide-angle objective gets Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and apertures range from f/1.8, to f/2.2, and f/1.6, respectively. The triple rear camera system is equipped with a 50 MP main wide-angle, a 50 MP ultrawide shooter with macro capabilities, and a 12 MP telephoto with a 2X optical zoom for portrait shots. *We provide these features as pointers, they may not be accurate, please double-check the exact technical specifications on the Motorola official product page ![]() Telephoto/Portrait 46 mm, 12 MP, f/1.6, 2X optical zoom.Wide angle (principal) 24 mm, 50 MP, f/1.8, OIS.(maybe updated later) Camera Feature Highlights* I had the opportunity to get my hands on the device at the Motorola HQ in Chicago and here are my first impressions. The Samsung device launched at $999 in February with a smaller display (6.1-inch), a slower display refresh rate (120 Hz), a slower charging speed and no charger provided. On the connectivity side, the Edge Plus 2023 offers 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and Wi-Fi 7 support.Īt that price and looking at the camera hardware features in light of our CAMERA HW score, the new Motorola flagship looks like a great alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S23. Priced at $799 for the entry model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage (option for 512GB), the Edge Plus (2023) offers Android flagship features such as a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, a large 6.7 high-quality FHD+ 165 Hz display with Dolby Vision certification, a good triple-lens 50MP main camera, a high-res 60 MP selfie, fast charging and wireless charging, a 68W adapter provided (!), and IP68 rating. The successor of the Edge Plus (2022) and the Edge 30 Ultra (2022), the new Motorola Edge Plus (2023) will be a serious competitor for the Google Pixel 7 Pro, and the OnePlus 11 both launched a few months back at $899 and $699, respectively. ![]()
