Motorola’s new Edge (2022) will come to Canada in the ‘coming months’

Motorola unveiled its latest flagship, the Motorola Edge (2022), on August 18th. The successor to last year’s Edge (2021) looks to continue building on the brand with new features, but Canadians won’t be able to get their hands on one for “months.”

Yup, like last year, Motorola would only vaguely promise that the phone would eventually come to Canada, but didn’t offer up any dates or other information. For U.S. residents, the Edge (2022) will be available starting today starting at $498 USD (about $642 CAD).

The Motorola Edge (2022) sports a 6.6-inch OLED 10-bit display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Motorola says the screen supports HDR10+ with 100 percent of the DCI-P3 colour space. Moreover, the phone sports Dolby Atmos technology and two stereo speakers to deliver full, multi-dimensional sound.

A 5,000mAh battery powers the Edge (2022), alongside a MediaTek Dimensity 1050 processor with support for both mmWave and Sub-6 5G and Wi-Fi 6E. Motorola says the phone can get up to two days of battery life, although I’ll believe that when I see it. When you do need to top up the battery, the Edge (2022) supports ‘TurboPower 30’ 30W fast charging and wireless charging. Finally, the phone offers 128GB or 256GB of storage and either 6GB or 8GB of RAM.

When it comes to the camera, the Edge (2022) boasts impressive specs, at least on paper. The main rear camera is a 50-megapixel shooter with optical image stabilization. There’s also a 13-megapixel ultra-wide, a two-megapixel depth sensor and a 32-megapixel selfie camera.

To wrap things up, Motorola promised three years of updates and four years of security patches for the Edge (2022). However, the phone will launch on Android 12, so the Android 13 update will take one of the three major software updates. Still, it sounds like better software support than Motorola has offered for some of its other phones.
