Motorola has confirmed that it has brought the "endless possibilities" of its newest top-end, 165Hz display flagship Android smartphone to the North American market as the Edge+ 2023. However, it seems the brand's fastest 125W charging technology is beyond this new version. Nevertheless, its new starting price might make up for that.
5G Android Launch Smartphone

Motorola has finally unleashed its latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered Android smartphone on the North American market. It will be known as the Edge+ 2023 in its new market rather than the Moto X40 or Edge 40 Pro - and that is not the only change made in this version.

The 40 Pro made it to Europe with its 125W wired charging spec intact; however, the Edge+ 2023 has not been so lucky. It has been announced with the same 68W standard as the Edge X30. Then again, it also has a larger (5,100mAh) battery compared to its versions for other markets.

Furthermore, the Edge+ 2023 will come with a full-speed TurboPower charger in the box - not to mention its 165Hz pOLED display, 50+50+12MP rear cameras, UFS 4.0 internal storage and LPDDR5X RAM. It will become available to pre-order through Amazon, Best Buy or Motorola from May 19, 2023 for an MSRP of US$799 in the US or CA$1,299 in Canada.
