Motorola's next 'flagship' phone leaks in real-world images

In terms of design, the upcoming Motorola "flagship" will not be very different from the mid-range Moto G 5G Plus.

What you need to know

  • The first alleged live images showing the upcoming Motorola "Nio" have leaked.
  • They reveal a 64MP quad-camera setup on the back and dual selfie cameras on the front.
  • It is rumored to be launched as the Motorola Edge S later this quarter.

In November last year, we learnt that Motorola was working on a "flagship" phone featuring an unusual 105Hz screen and a 64MP main camera – codenamed Nio. The first live images of the upcoming device have now leaked, giving us a good look at its design from all sides.

As revealed by a render of the phone back in December, it will feature dual hole-punch cameras on the front. On the back of the phone will be a quad-camera setup with a 64MP primary sensor and support for a Pixel 5-like "Audio Zoom" feature. As you can tell from the leaked images above, the Motorola Nio looks nearly identical to the Moto G 5G Plus.

While it was previously reported that Nio is the rumored Moto G series "flagship" phone with a Snapdragon 800-series chipset, recent rumors suggest it could launch as the Motorola Edge S instead. As per Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, Motorola Edge S will be the first phone to feature an all-new Snapdragon 800-series chipset.

The device is also rumored to feature up to 12GB of RAM and ship with Android 11 out of the box. While Motorola hasn't confirmed the existence of the device yet, the recent Weibo post by Lenovo China General Manager Chen Jin makes it clear that it will be unveiled within the next few weeks. It is expected to be a strong challenger to Samsung's Galaxy S20 FE and the Google Pixel 5, which are two of the best Android phones under $800 currently.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
