The Motorola Edge 2025 is Motorola’s bold attempt to redefine what a mid-range smartphone can offer. With a striking design, capable cameras, and robust battery life, it aims to deliver premium features without premium cost.
Design & Display
The Edge 2025 sports a 6.7-inch P-OLED display with a resolution of 2712×1220 px and a 120 Hz refresh rate, offering smooth navigation and fluid animations. It provides HDR support and is built for daylight visibility.
The device has an aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass protection, and meets IP68 / IP69 water and dust resistance ratings.
In the hand, it balances modern aesthetics with solid ergonomics: thin bezels, curved edges, and a matte finish make it pleasing to hold and use.
Performance & Software
Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 (4 nm process) drives performance. Coupled with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS storage, it handles everyday apps, multitasking, and gaming with ease. The device runs Android 15, enhanced with Motorola’s “Hello UI” customizations, but keeps bloatware to a minimum.
Motorola also adds security features like on-screen fingerprint sensor, face unlock, and its proprietary security suite. Expect regular security updates and at least a few Android version upgrades.
Cameras
The camera setup is one of the highlights:
-
50 MP (main, OIS, PDAF, f/1.8)
-
50 MP ultra-wide
-
10 MP telephoto (3× optical zoom)
For selfies, it offers a 50 MP front camera. The trio of rear sensors competently cover wide and zoomed shots, while optical image stabilization helps with low-light consistency. Video capture supports 4K recording.
Battery & Charging
A 5,200 mAh battery powers the Motorola Edge 2025, designed to last up to two days under moderate use. Fast charging is supported at 68 W wired, and 15 W wireless charging is available for convenience. This gives users flexibility and avoids constant power anxiety.
Connectivity & Features
Connectivity options are comprehensive: 5G (with broad band support), Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and more. The phone includes stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning and supports storage expansion in some markets (though in many it’s fixed).
Motorola also incorporates AI-enhanced features — smart assistants, camera optimizations, and software enhancements — to enhance usability.
Pricing & Value
Launched at a starting MSRP around USD $549, the Motorola Edge 2025’s real-world pricing has dropped in many markets toward $399–$450. This price range makes it a compelling option compared to other mid-range flagships, offering many flagship features without breaking the bank.
