Motorola finally has a flagship in the US: the Moto Edge+ packs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 165Hz display and seriously undercuts the price of the Pixel 7 Pro, Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
The Motorola Edge+ (2023) is ostensibly the global Moto Edge 40 Pro under a different name, though Moto boasts of the Edge+’s massive 5,100mAh battery, a significant improvement over the Edge 40 Pro’s 4,600mAh. of the two phones are identical so it could be an error. If true, this gives the Edge+ (2023) the largest battery of any Motorola flagship.
Let’s talk about the screen: the Moto Edge+ (2023) has a 6.67-inch 1080x2400px AMOLED with an adaptive refresh rate of 165Hz and HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support.
Also on the front is a 60MP selfie shooter with 4K video support.

On the back is a legit flagship camera setup. The 50 MP f/1.8 main camera features a 1/1.55-inch sensor and OIS. Alongside is a 2x 12MP f/1.6 vertical camera with a 1/2.93-inch sensor. The final camera is a 50 MP f/2.2 1/2.76-inch autofocus ultrawide with macro capabilities.
The phone supports 68W wired charging (with the charger in the box) and 15W wireless charging with 5W wireless power sharing. Conversely, the Moto Edge 40 Pro supports 125W wired charging, which could explain the increased battery capacity.
Powering the Moto Edge+ (2023) is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with 8GB of RAM. The phone comes with 256GB or 512GB of storage.
Motorola promises three years of OS updates and four years of security updates.
The Moto Edge+ (2023) is also built to a high standard. There is Gorilla Glass Victus on both sides with an aluminum frame in between. The phone is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance.
Motorola will sell the unlocked Moto Edge+ (2023) through Amazon, Best Buy, and Motorola.com from May 25. It’s also available through Boost Mobile, Spectrum Mobile, and Consumer Cellular, but not from popular US carriers. It starts at $800.
