Lastly, the flagship of the series - the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra. It boasts a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which is like a 'lite' version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The camera features a 50MP lens, alongside a wide, 12mm ultrawide, and 72mm 3x periscope zoom. For selfies, you'll get a 6.7-inch OLED screen with a 165Hz refresh rate.

In the US, the Edge 50 Ultra could carry a different moniker -- Motorola Edge+ 2024 or Edge Ultra 2024, and could cost around $999.

Motorola Edge 50 Fusion Expected Features

Motorola's Edge 50 Fusion features a curved 6.7-inch pOLED screen, and runs on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor. Recently, the Edge 30 Fusion made a cameo on Geekbench with the same processor, scoring 913 points in the single-core test and 2,629 points in the multi-core test. Motorola's new phone will have the usual 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, which is pretty similar to their mid-range phones.

The company has equipped the device with a 50MP rear camera with OIS, along with a 13MP ultrawide camera. Meanwhile, upfront, there's a 32MP selfie shooter housed in the punch-hole display. The Edge 50 Fusion is likely to pack a 5,000mAh battery with 68W wired charging. But the 68W charger will be sold separately. The Edge 50 Fusion is waterproof with an IP68 rating and also has Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

The Motorola Edge 50 Fusion will come in Ballad Blue, Peacock Pink, and Tidal Teal color options. They all sport a textured back, but the Ballad Blue version rocks a vegan leather back.
