Motorola announced the launch of sales of the flagship smartphone motorola edge + in Russia

The smartphone is represented in the color "Gray Thunder" (thunder grey).

According to RIA Novosti, citing the MTS press service, Motorola Edge + was the first smartphone to go on sale in the Russian Federation to support domestic 5G networks. The 5G antenna system supports both millimeter waves (mmWave) and frequencies below 6 GHz, which means global compatibility with 5G networks in different countries and makes it possible to provide data transmission at a speed of more than 4 Gbit/s in the future, the manufacturer claims.

In the summer of 2020, MTS, together  with Motorola  and Qualcomm, conducted Motorola Edge + tests. The smartphone is ready   to support work  in the 5G millimeter range at the hardware and software level, including the bands (24.25-24.65 GHz) allocated by the State Commission  on Radio Frequencies (GKRCH) of Russia to  create public networks  and closed 5G technology networks.

MTS became the first Russian mobile operator to receive licenses for  the provision of 5G/IMT-2020 mobile services  in the range of 24.25-24.65 GHz  in 83 regions of the country. According to the company, the first users of the "fifth generation" network will be business customers  and large production enterprises.

Journalists of The Verge, who tested the devices, called the product "a contender, not a champion," praising for the high performance and decent camera, but criticized the convenience of the waterfall screen and the lack of moisture protection^[1]

In motorola edge +, the Endless Edge display on both sides is bent by almost 90 degrees and has a diagonal of 6.7 inches, occupying most of the front surface of the smartphone, which creates a complete immersion effect when viewing content. The cinematic aspect ratio of the display 21:9 is the standard for most popular movies and television shows and is suitable for multimedia. The display is capable of playing many shades with dynamic image quality with HDR10 +. The 90-pin refresh rate of the screen allows you to smoothly display movements. The curved screen and the small width of motorola edge + provide optimal proportions for use with one hand, and navigation and the Edge Touch system, which is part of the My UX software package, allow you to customize new ways of interacting. Backlighting at the edges of the display from afar signifies the battery state, incoming ringing, alarm and other notifications.

The snapshot feature allows you to take a photo with a high resolution of 20 MPs even during video shooting. The camera system has intuitive software functions, including the video portrait mode: it provides a beautiful effect of a blurred background on video, which helps to switch focus to the subject.
