The Motorola Edge will be available on July 31st for a ‘limited time’ $500 price – The Verge

The Edge will only support sub-6GHz 5G web (not the mmWave assistance that the Edge Plus has), although itll be offered opened, instead of minimal to simply Verizon.

The Motorola Edge is a slightly watered-down variation of the flagship $999 Edge Plus, with a similar 6.7-inch “edge” display screen design, however with a Snapdragon 765 processor, 6GB of RAM, a 4,500 mAh battery, and no wireless charging. The triple-camera variety also is reduced, compared to the Edge Plus, with a 64-megapixel main lens (rather of the extremely promoted 108-megapixel sensing unit on the Edge Plus), among other changes.

Motorolas opened Edge smartphone is now offered for preorder ahead of a July 31st release, the business revealed today. Additionally, the business revealed that for a “minimal time,” itll be offering the Edge for $499.99, instead of the initially revealed $699.99 price.

Its not clear the length of time Motorola will be providing the $200 discount rate, although it doesnt seem like its thinking about a permanent cost drop at this moment.

The Motorola Edge is available to preorder now from Best Buy, B&H Photo, Amazon, and Motorola.
