Edge (2020): The original "Edge" — a waterfall-display 90 Hz mid-tier flagship.
SpecEagle Editorial·May 2020·$699·Score 70/100
Edge (2020) was Motorola back in the flagship-feel game — a waterfall pOLED, 5G, stereo sound, the legacy ports — for $699. The waterfall display's accidental touches and modest 765 chip dated it quickly; as the start of the Edge line that became Motorola's main brand identity, it earned its place.
