From PC Mag: Motorola’s phone launch spree for 2026 isn’t over yet. After rolling out a parade of devices in May, including the new Razr series, the Razr Fold, and the Moto G Stylus, the tech giant unveiled yet another one today: the 2026 Motorola Edge. The $599.99 phone is what I would describe as Motorola's near-flagship model. It’s designed to deliver a premium aesthetic without breaking the bank. Even so, generation over generation, the price has increased by $50. Is it worth it?
As its name suggests, the Edge has a slim and compact chassis that's 0.28 inches thick, though it doesn't quite beat thinner profiles like the 0.22-inch Apple iPhone Air ($1,099) and the 0.23-inch Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge ($1,099.99).
So what's new? Let's start with the cameras. The main camera, part of the phone's triple 50MP system, now features a Sony LYTIA 710 sensor, a slight step up from last year's Sony LYT700C. This incremental upgrade means the sensor should pull in more light and less noise in low-light scenes.
Like the 2025 model, the new one keeps its 50MP ultrawide and 50MP selfie shooters. The former delivers Macro Vision for up-close photography alongside a wide 122-inch field of view, while Motorola promises sharper, higher-contrast pictures from the front-facing camera. Matching the outgoing phone, the new Edge has a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and up to 30x digital zoom.
