The Motorola 2025 Edge (not to be confused with the just-revealed Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge slim handset) is on its way, and its arrival is imminent. The phone is slated for a June 5 arrival in the US and Canada, and costs $550. This comes soon after the company debuted its new batch of Razr phones.
This year's Edge has a 6.7-inch super HD POLED display, which Motorola says has "improved contrast" and "13% more resolution than the previous generation." It has a 120Hz refresh rate and, of course, those signature curved edges on the display.
There's a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera, which can punch in with 3x magnification, or up to 30x digital zoom. There's also a 50-megapixel front-facing camera, which sounds like a promising way to level up your selfie game, but we'll have to see.
As we've come to expect from recent phone releases, AI is there to help optimize your shots. Moto's Photo Enhancement Engine can reduce noise, amplify details and improve dynamic range, the company says. Edge owners can also tap into AI features in Google Photos like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur.
Speaking of AI, like the 2025 Razr lineup, the Edge flexes a new AI key on the side to trigger Moto AI features such as Pay Attention, which records and summarizes conversations, and Next Move, which looks at what's on your screen and suggests follow-up actions. Google AI features like Gemini Live and Circle to Search are also onboard.
The 2025 Motorola Edge has a 6.7-inch curved display.
MotorolaThe Edge has an IP68 and IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, meaning it can handle being submerged in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to half an hour, as well as being exposed to high-temperature water jets for up to 30 seconds. It's MIL-STD-810H certified, meaning it's endured military-grade testing for durability. The Corning Gorilla Glass 7i display offers twice the resistance to drops and scratches, Motorola says.
Inside, the 2025 Edge packs a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, as well as 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The 5,200-mAh battery lasts up to two days on a single charge, according to Motorola, though that'll be worth validating in our own tests. The Edge supports 68-watt TurboPower charging, as well as 15-watt wireless charging. The phone comes with Android 15 out of the box.
The 2025 Edge will be available unlocked in the US on June 5 at Best Buy, Amazon and Motorola's website. If you'd rather get the phone from a carrier, it'll be available at T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile, Total Wireless, Visible, Spectrum and Xfinity Mobile in the coming months, Motorola says.
In Canada, you can buy the phone from Motorola's website starting June 5. Availability through select carriers and national retailers has yet to be announced.
