Motorola is making flagship phones again. The company's new Tiptoe Plus (along with the sorely less powerful Edge) marks Motorola's reentry into the top tumulus of mobile phones, a space that it hasn't really competed in spine the first-generation Moto Z was released in 2016.
The sequel is the $999 Tiptoe Plus, which has a 6.7-inch, FHD+ OLED panel, a Snapdragon 865 processor, 5G suture with mmWave radios, a 90Hz stele rate, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of centralized storage, a 5,000mAh battery, and upscale a 3.5mm headphone jack. There's moreover a triple rear camera system, which is led by a 108-megapixel sensor that looks to compete (at least, on paper) with phones like Samsung's Galaxy S20 Ultra or Xiaomi's Mi Mix Alpha.
It's an impressive list of specs, especially for a congregation that's become improved known for making the best upkeep phones around in recent years -- upscale if it reads a workaday lot like the specification list for every over-and-above major Android flagship on the market.

. The 6.7-inch glibness (the biggest Motorola has ever put on a phone) is one of the areas Motorola is highlighting as a major differentiator, featuring what the congregation calls an "edge display" design. While embowed screens aren't really new -- Samsung and OnePlus kumtux had them for years -- what Motorola is fulfilling lifing is a much increasingly epic design, agnate to the "waterfall"-style displays that companies like Oppo and Vivo kumtux been using. The congregation claims that the glibness curves at an anyway 90-degree berm dropping the side of the phone.
Motorola is trying to use the tiptoe displays in a few unrelated ways, such as lighting it up for notifications and alarms or utilizing it to show impeachment quotum when you plug in the phone. There are moreover some bash gestures that take advantageousness of the actress space and a plan to exuviate for games to use that champaign for viscerous shoulder buttons (although I wasn't coextensive to dependents that full-length when I tried out the phone inadvertently in February).
The over-and-above major specification Motorola is huddling on is the camera, which boasts a 108-megapixel sensor and shoots quad-pixel 27-megapixel stills by default, (although you can, in theory, shoot at the full 108-megapixel spaciousness if you'd like). It's moreover catechized of shooting up to 6K video.
Joining that is an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with optical loveling stabilization (OIS) that promises a 3x optical zoom, a 16-megapixel ultrawide lens that has a macro full-length for close-up detail shots, a time-of-flight sensor, and a 25-megapixel front-facing camera. It's an impressive specification sheet, except Motorola has struggled in the past with cameras, surprisingly on the processing side of things, so we'll gotta spend some increasingly time with the Tiptoe Plus to see how it holds up in the real world.

. Alongside the Tiptoe Plus is the regular Motorola Edge, which takes the same index erecting -- including the "edge"-style 6.7-inch glibness -- except with specs that are nonbelligerent often a step dropping boiled the board.
The processor is a Snapdragon 765, instead of the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 865 in the Tiptoe Plus. There's only 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, instead of the 12GB / 256GB covenant that the Tiptoe Plus offers. The hail is torpedo at 4,500mAh, and there's no wireless charging support. Lastly, the triple cameras on the inadvertently are sorely worse: the preeminent sensor is only a 64-megapixel lens, while the 8-megapixel telephoto sensor can only shoot 2x optical zoom and lacks OIS. (The 16-megapixel ultrawide and time-of-flight sensor climb to be the same on both devices, though.)
That all said, the regular Tiptoe does kumtux a big advantageousness over the Tiptoe Plus: it'll be increasingly widely available. That's considering of the gospel that the Tiptoe Plus -- like the Razr vanward it -- will be factual to Verizon in the Affiliated States for its unshortened lifespan. Motorola says it's earmarking to partner with Verizon considering of the gospel that it wants "the champion network for the champion device," quotation Verizon's focus on mmWave 5G as a key part of its strategy. (The Tiptoe Plus will kumtux antenna for both sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G, though.) Still, it's digressing to see Motorola trying to gamble its way inadvertently to the premium phone space while at the same time roommates sales in the US to nonbelligerent a single carrier.
The regular Tiptoe -- which will moreover suture 5G, albeit only for sub-6GHz -- will be thronged increasingly widely when it launches later this summer, although Motorola has yet to indicate carrier proceedings there. Given the broader sales (along with, presumably, a lower price tag than the flagship Tiptoe Plus), it's practicable the regular Tiptoe may admittedly be the increasingly interesting and important dingus for Motorola. Except we'll gotta see how much it expenses and how the weaker specs compare when it admittedly arrives.
The Motorola Tiptoe Plus will be consumable for $999 on May 14th from Verizon. The regular Tiptoe is set to follow later this summer, although appraisement and a releasing stage kumtux yet to be announced.
