Motorola finally made it official. The Motorola Edge 2026 was announced on June 2, and it’s going on sale June 11 for $599. That’s a $50 bump over last year’s model, but honestly, given the current memory pricing chaos hitting the entire industry, that’s not surprising at all. And a smaller price bump over the Moto G models that were announced earlier this year.
If you’ve been waiting for Motorola’s North American mid-range pick of the year, mark your calendar. June 11 is the day. You’ll be able to grab it unlocked from Best Buy and Motorola.com, and Verizon is also getting it on launch day. AT&T, Cricket Wireless, Spectrum Wireless, and Xfinity Mobile are all picking it up afterward, so coverage isn’t going to be an issue here.
What you’re actually getting for $599
This $599 price point is pretty competitive right now, especially when you look at what Motorola is packing into this thing. You’re getting a 6.3-inch Extreme AMOLED display that hits 5,200 nits peak brightness, which is genuinely wild for a phone at this tier. It’s also 120Hz, Pantone Validated, and runs at Super HD (2640 x 1216) resolution.
The processor is where things get a little less exciting. Motorola went with the MediaTek Dimensity 7450, which is the same chip used in the Razr 2025 and the original Razr 2024. It’s paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Not flagship-tier, but it’ll get the job done.
The camera setup is the headline here. You get a 50MP main shooter with a Sony LYTIA 710 sensor and OIS, a 50MP ultrawide that doubles for macro shots, and a 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom. That telephoto is the real story. Most phones in this price range straight up skip the telephoto lens, so having one here is a big deal. The selfie camera is also 50MP.
Battery life looks solid, too. The 5,000mAh cell is rated for up to 50 hours, and you get 60W TurboPower wired charging plus 15W wireless. Toss in IP68/IP69 water resistance, MIL-STD-810H durability, Gorilla Glass 7i, and Android 16 out of the box, and there’s a lot to like.
The Edge 2026 only comes in one color, PANTONE Martini Olive, and it weighs just 160.5g. That woven-style back we saw in the leaked renders from a couple weeks back is officially here, and it looks great in person.
This is just one piece of Motorola’s massive 2026 push. The company’s full Edge family for 2026 includes seven devices, with the Motorola Edge 70 Pro+ also launching this month. But for North American buyers who just want a solid, affordable Android phone, the Edge 2026 is the one to watch. June 11 can’t get here fast enough.
