Update from May 25, 2025:

Shortly after publishing our article below, a trusted insider reached out to reveal that the Edge (2025) is in fact not identical to either the Edge 60 or Edge 60 Pro in terms of specifications, packing a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor instead of a Dimensity 7300 or Dimensity 8350. That's the same chipset used by the Edge 60 Fusion in India, which suggests that the North American Motorola Edge (2025) will sit somewhere below the international Edge 60 Pro on the Android food chain after all.

The original story from May 25, 2025 follows below:

Despite being a top three smartphone vendor in the US, Motorola often gives other markets priority, internationally unveiling four different Edge 60 series handsets over the last couple of months without bringing a single equivalent stateside... so far.

If history is any indication, of course, at least one Motorola Edge (2025) model will be released sometime soon, and that's precisely what Evan Blass appears to have leaked on social media this weekend.

Wait a minute, haven't we seen this phone before?

Most definitely. But while it might not be entirely clear at first glance what member of the Edge 60 family this unreleased device will take after, a closer inspection of the ultra-high-quality promotional images on hand should leave very few questions unanswered.

Yes, the Edge (2025) strongly resembles both the "vanilla" Edge 60 and the slightly higher-end Edge 60 Pro, but only the latter features a button on its side that's clearly visible in a few of the pictures embedded below. And if the so-called "AI Key" will be borrowed from the Motorola Edge 60 Pro, it's safe to assume other key (no pun intended) features and specifications will also stay largely the same between the two mid-rangers.

Then again, because the US-specific Motorola Edge (2024) is not completely identical to either the "international" Edge 50 or the Edge 50 Pro, you may not want to jump to too many conclusions here, at least for the time being.

What I can say for sure is that we're looking at a very aesthetically pleasing smartphone with a quad-curved display, swanky vegan leather finish, triple rear-facing camera system, a robust body designed to handle water and dust immersion, and that aforementioned physical button for quick access to Motorola's proprietary AI capabilities. Oh, and the colorway seems to be different from all the existing Edge 60 and Edge 60 Pro paint jobs out there.

Can we predict the US specs and price of the Motorola Edge (2025)?

6.7-inch P-OLED display with 2712 x 1220 pixel resolution, 120Hz refresh rate technology, and 4500 nits peak brightness;
MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme processor;
8 and 12GB RAM options;
256 and 512GB storage configurations;
50 + 10 + 50MP rear-facing cameras;
50MP front-facing camera;
6,000mAh battery;
90W wired and 15W wireless charging support;
IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance;
Android 15 software out the box;
Under-display fingerprint sensor;
Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos technology;
160.7 x 73.1 x 8.2mm dimensions;
186 grams weight.

Before you get too excited, that's the Edge 60 Pro spec sheet, which may or may not be copied to the letter by the North American Edge (2025).

The Edge (2024), remember, started at $550 in the US with a 6.6-inch screen, Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, dual 50 + 13MP rear-facing camera setup, and 5,000mAh battery on deck, so if this is its sequel, that recommended price could well go up to $600 or $650.

Even if that happens, though, you shouldn't panic, as the Edge (2024) scored some very substantial discounts surprisingly quickly after its commercial debut, which is likely to be the case for the Edge (2025) as well.

Of course, with the Razr (2025) foldable normally priced at $700, there's a pretty good chance Motorola will revise its Edge strategy this year so that deals and discounts are no longer needed to make its newest US mid-ranger a solid alternative for the likes of Google's Pixel 9a, Samsung's Galaxy S24 FE, and the OnePlus 13R.
