The pictures leaked by Winfuture.de come with very little information about their specs, so we’re left with what’s visible in the images for the most part. For starters, it looks like both Motorola phones will feature triple cameras. The 50-megapixel main camera on both will reportedly use Sony’s Lytia 900 sensor, which would be a nice improvement over the Lytia 700C sensor inside the previous models, Edge 50 and Edge 50 Pro.
Even though the Edge 60 series phone feature similar camera configurations, the vanilla model is said to offer a smaller 12-24 mm focal length, whereas the Edge 60 Pro’s main camera has a focal length of 12-73 mm.
One visible difference between the two phones is that the Edge 60 Pro comes with an extra button on the left side. Also, the Edge 60 Pro had a more curved display, but these seem to be the only design differences between the two device
Motorola Edge 60 will be available in three different colors – blue, rose/pink and turquoise, while the Edge 60 Pro is supposed to come in blue, green and violet. No details about availability and price have emerged yet, but it’s safe to assume that information concerning the Edge 60 and Edge 60 Pro will surface in the not-too-distant future.
Just for the sake of comparison, the Edge 50 and Edge 50 Pro were a bit pricy at launch, as Motorola sold them for €600 and €700, respectively. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that Motorola will bring these to the United States, since neither the Edge 50 nor the Edge 50 Pro were officially introduced in the country.
I agree. My previous phone was a OnePlus 7 Pro, the last one with a pop-up camera. I only ever used that camera as a party trick, didn’t take a single real photo with it. The only reason I switched to Motorola edge 50 is because the OnePlus hadn’t gotten security updates in 2 years and it’s second battery was also starting to degrade. I’d use an aftermarket ROM but my banking app probably won’t like that. The Motorola is fine I guess. The punch hole doesn’t often get in the way. But it’ll never be quite as cool as the 7 pro…
Man, that was a time, with all the weird pop up cameras. They all mostly sucked and kept phones from actually useful features like water resistance, but it sure was fun.
I’ll even take an under-display camera, although you can almost always see it and it’s still unnecessary, when the actual camera lens can be crammed into a couple of mms of space at the top and that also gets you better speakers and room for additional sensors. The insanity is that now all that nonsensical innovation is in foldables instead, where you have a second full screen you can use to take much better selfies with the main camera package… and they’re still putting punch holes in the large screens for some reason. Samsung went to all the trouble of going under-screen in one of those. It’s insane.
I’m holding on to my older Xperia 1 and will consider upgrading if they do release the 1 VII this year, if only because I’ll be shocked if it isn’t the very last one. I have major gripes with some parts of their software, but at least the phone itself makes sense and, as you say, maybe if I sit on it long enough someone will make a compatible replacement ROM after I’ve migrated all my Google hostage apps and see what happens.
