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 loved the design on the Samsung S8 with the edge displays. Especially when the screen was dark and it was laying on the desk, it looked like a thing from the future. Without a cover it looked awesome and I often had friends with iphones comment they loved how it looked. In actual use it was a nightmare, the edge screen was often prone to ghost inputs. A glass screen protector was very visible, even the special ones that included a bit of a curve on the end. This ruined the design. And the back of the phone was glass as well, which made it look really good, but was actually a design flaw. To save on weight and costs it was an ultra thin glass and broke all the damn time. And not like the laminated screens where a crack is bad, but still usable, it was just straight glass so it would be very sharp and spew tiny glass fragments all over the place. Because the whole thing was glass with only a thin small aluminium frame, the thing flexed quite a bit and every time it flexed the back would crack. So you needed to really be very careful with the phone. Or put a cover around it, which made the whole design completely pointless.
After a while Samsung put a software update on the phone which the cpu and memory could simply not handle. It ruined the battery life, the thing got hot all the time and the UI stuttered like crazy. Since I had also replaced the back a couple of times and the front had a crack in it, I didn’t went the custom ROM way but instead like an idiot upgraded to the S10 (which is exactly what Samsung wanted). I always thought the S8 was the best looking phone I ever had.
Very cool to see this design, it looks great.
Same. The current Galaxy’s look nice but they never managed to capture that futuristic feel of the S8/S9
I’m still on my og s8 and I’m so glad someone else out there appreciated this excellent phone!
Same! I’m surprised it’s still running ok after 8 years. No point in replacing it yet, only reason I want to is for a better camera and battery life.
I had a different phone with the stupid curved edge screen and it also became a spiderweb of cracks after a small impact. I really hoped that manufacturers had realised that they were a terrible gimmick, but here we are again!
