When the Motorola Edge 2024 was announced, the Pixel 8a was one of its main rivals, but even then, it had an edge over Google's phone. And now that it has gotten a huge 36% discount, it is a no-brainer.

Motorola releases multiple phones each year, and while they usually pack pretty good features and competitive price tags, it doesn't take long before they get some mouth-watering discounts. The latest model to get this treatment is the Motorola Edge 2024 which launched in the US in late June.

The Motorola Edge 2024 is believed to be the US variant of the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion sold in Europe but there are a few key improvements the Edge 2024 has over the Edge 50 Fusion. When the Edge 2024 was announced in June, it cost $549.99, now both Motorola and Amazon have slashed it by 36%, bringing the price down to $349.99.

There's a lot you are getting for that price. Its curved screen is a 6.6-inch FHD+ P-OLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and it is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor. There's 8GB of RAM which can be extended via RAM Boost, and while the UFS 2.2 storage is quite slow by today's standard, you get an ample amount at 256GB.

The Motorola Edge 2024 also has a 50MP primary rear camera, a 13MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 32MP front-facing camera. There's a 5,000mAh battery under the hood and it charges pretty fast at 68W (a 68W power adapter has to be purchased separately). It also offers the convenience of wireless charging, albeit at a slower 15W.

Like the 2023 Motorola Thinkphone which has a customizable red key, the Motorola Edge 2024 also has a Quick Button on the left side that can be set to launch different apps or the voice assistant.

The Motorola Edge 2024 is available in a single color, Midnight Blue, with a faux leather finish and an IP68 dust and water resistant rating. It ships with Android 14 out of the box and is among the Motorola phones that will get the Android 15 update.

At the current price of $349.99, the Motorola Edge 2024 has an even greater edge over the Google Pixel 8a.
