Motorola reportedly preps Edge 30 Ultra with Snapdragon 898, 68W charging

It could be among the first with Qualcomm's new chipset.

What you need to know

Motorola is expected to launch the Edge 30 Ultra soon.
Qualcomm's unannounced Snapdragon 898 chipset may power the device.
The device is expected to be a flagship with two 50MP cameras and a 144Hz display.

Motorola may be hoping to make a splash before the end of the year with the rumored flagship Motorola Edge 30 Ultra.

According to Nils Ahrensmeier of TechnikNews, Motorola is preparing to launch its next flagship device based on Qualcomm's next premium Snapdragon platform. The chipset will likely be dubbed the Snapdragon 898 and power plenty of the best Android phones in 2022.

The device is said to have a 144Hz FHD+ OLED display and two 50MP cameras on the rear. One of them is said to be the same sensor from the Huawei P50, whereas the ultrawide may be the Samsung JN1. The cameras will be rounded out with a third 2MP tertiary sensor and a front selfie camera with a whopping 60MP resolution and 4K recording.

A 5,000mAh battery would power the device, which could be topped off at 68W charging speeds.

Internally, the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra is expected to have 128 or 256GB of storage and 8 or 12GB of RAM. There's also sub-6 5G, Bluetooth 5.2, and it will run Android 12 out of the box. Unfortunately, it's only IP52 rated, and there's no word on NFC support, which isn't always a given with Motorola phones. Additionally, it's expected to be updated to at least Android 13, but it's unclear where support lies beyond that.

So far, the device sounds reasonably impressive, and in many ways, would best this year's Motorola Edge (2021) with a flagship chipset, although of course, take this with a grain of salt until Motorola makes an official announcement. Qualcomm is gearing up for its Tech Summit later this month, where it will unveil its new Snapdragon platform, and Motorola is expected to attend, so we'll likely hear more then.

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
