Motorola has launched its latest flagship phone in the Philippines. The new Edge 30 Pro boasts an interesting price tag that should easily make it a top contender in the high-end space.
Like most Android flagships today, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 octa-core processor. It brings 5G and WiFi 6E connectivity to the device, as well as capable camera features.
Speaking of which, Motorola is highlighting the camera prowess of the Edge 30 Pro. The lens in the middle is for the sharp 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization.
On top of it is a similar sensor but with an ultra-wide lens that can also shoot in macro. The third one is your typical depth sensor.
Motorola knows the power of social media, especially platforms like TikTok. This is why they amped up the front-facing camera on the Edge 30 Pro by rigging it with a whopping 60-megapixel sensor.
The company also nailed the visuals and sound on this device. It boasts an enormous 6.7-inch screen with a contrasty OLED panel that has HDR10+ support. It’s fast, too, as it comes with a 144Hz refresh rate that should do a proper job of showcasing the powerful chipset.
Audio is handled by two speakers in a stereo setup, aided by Dolby Atmos technology, and Qualcomm Snapdragon Sound for hi-res music, clear voice calls, and better synchronization when listening over Bluetooth.
The device also has the fastest charging tech on any Motorola ever with its 68W TurboPower support. Motorola claims that a quick 15-minute charge can already provide 50% of juice. Wireless charging is also supported.
If you’re a heavy multitasker or someone who likes to draw, you can get the proprietary folio case that comes with a stand and a slot to store a stylus.
Like a lot of Motorola phones, the Edge 30 Pro is resistant to water spills and splashes. It also comes with ThinkShield mobile suite for business-grade security.
The Motorola Edge 30 Pro has a price of Php34,995. It will be up for pre-order from April 25 to 28 and will come with Php23,000 worth of freebies: Herschel Stowaway Jacket, Lenovo USB Type-C powerbank, Lenovo S2 smartwatch, and Yoga ANC headphones.
