Motorola Edge 20 Pro: with periscope zoom
The first thing that stands out about the Motorola Edge 20 Pro is its new one 108MP main camera which includes a 1 / 1.5 “sensor and Ultra Pixel technology, which combines nine pixels into one large ultra-pixel for improved performance in low light conditions.
It also has an ultra wide angle lens with integrated Macro Vision, the Motorola’s first periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom (hybrid up to 50X) and 8K resolution video recording.
Also incorporates a 6.7-inch FullHD + OLED display with DCI-P3 color space, HDR10 + and a 144 Hz refresh rate. At the top of this panel, we have a hole where the front camera is housed, which offers a resolution of 32 MP
5G connectivity and WiFi 6 are provided by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor, which is accompanied here by 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. To power itself, it has a 4,500mAh battery with TurboPower 30 Quick Charge (30W), which, according to Motorola, offers 9 hours of battery life with 10 minutes of charging.
Motorola Edge 20: half notch below
With a thickness of just 6.99mm and a weight of 163g, the Motorola Edge 20 inherits the main 108MP sensor, the ultra wide-angle macro lens of the Pro model, but includes a telephoto lens with 3X optical zoom and forgoes 8K recording.
It also shares the 6.7-inch screen with a 144Hz refresh rate and 32MP camera with its big brother. However, it is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor -compatible with WiFi 6 and 5G- and 8 GB of RAM. In this case, we also have to choose two storage options: 128 and 256 GB.
As for the battery, here we go down to 4000 mAh, but we keep the TurboPower 30 fast charge to get 8 hours of battery life in just 10 minutes. The operating system in both cases is Android 11 with the addition of My UX, Motorola’s customized interface.
