Motorola’s 2025 Edge Launches With 2-Day Battery, 68-Watt Charging for $550

The new Edge gets the same Moto AI features seen on the Razr along with three 50-megapixel cameras.

The Motorola 2025 Edge (not to be confused with the just-revealed Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge slim handset) launches Thursday and includes several of the software features seen on Motorola’s new Razr phones. While the $550 Edge doesn’t fold, it does include Moto AI, three 50-megapixel cameras and processing from Motorola’s Photo Enhancement Engine.

This year’s Edge has a 6.7-inch super HD POLED display, which Motorola says has «improved contrast» and «13% more resolution than the previous generation.» It has a 120Hz refresh rate and those signature curved edges on the display.

There’s a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera, which can punch in with 3x magnification, or up to 30x digital zoom. There’s also a 50-megapixel front-facing camera, which sounds like a promising way to level up your selfie game, but we’ll have to see.

As we’ve come to expect from recent phone releases, AI is there to help optimize your shots. Moto’s Photo Enhancement Engine can reduce noise, amplify details and improve dynamic range, the company says. Edge owners can also tap into AI features in Google Photos like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur.

Speaking of AI, like the 2025 Razr lineup, the Edge flexes a new AI key on the side to trigger Moto AI features such as Pay Attention, which records and summarizes conversations, and Next Move, which looks at what’s on your screen and suggests follow-up actions. Google AI features like Gemini Live and Circle to Search are also onboard.

The Edge has an IP68 and IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, meaning it can handle being submerged in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to half an hour, as well as being exposed to high-temperature water jets for up to 30 seconds. It’s MIL-STD-810H certified, meaning it’s endured military-grade testing for durability. The Corning Gorilla Glass 7i display offers twice the resistance to drops and scratches, Motorola says.

Inside, the 2025 Edge packs a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, as well as 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The 5,200-mAh battery lasts up to two days on a single charge, according to Motorola, though that’ll be worth validating in our own tests. The Edge supports 68-watt TurboPower charging, as well as 15-watt wireless charging. The phone comes with Android 15 out of the box.

The 2025 Edge will be available unlocked in the US on Thursday at Best Buy, Amazon and Motorola’s website. If you’d rather get the phone from a carrier, it’ll be available at T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile, Total Wireless, Visible, Spectrum and Xfinity Mobile in the coming months, Motorola says.

In Canada, you can buy the phone from Motorola’s website starting Thursday. Availability through select carriers and national retailers has yet to be announced.

In the meantime, you can check out CNET’s review of the 2025 Razr and Razr Ultra.

Verum Finance has announced the launch of a new financial application that allows users to manage their money directly within the secure Verum Messenger ecosystem.

The project has already attracted attention from major media outlets. A dedicated feature was published by Forbes Türkiye, while one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, MEXC, covered the launch. Yahoo Finance had previously reported on the evolution of Verum Messenger into a comprehensive financial ecosystem.

• Manage their balance and top up using bank cards or USDT
• Send money instantly to other Verum users

A strong emphasis is placed on privacy. The platform offers registration without a phone number or email address, end-to-end encryption, and full user control over personal data.

Recognition from Forbes Türkiye

In a dedicated article, Forbes Türkiye highlighted Verum Finance as a notable example of modern privacy-driven fintech. The publication emphasized the growing trend of financial services moving from standalone banking applications into unified messaging ecosystems — a model that has proven successful in Asia through platforms such as WeChat and Alipay and is now expanding globally.

Support from the Crypto Community

Alongside the Forbes Türkiye coverage, news about the launch of Verum Finance was also featured by MEXC, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges. This reflects growing interest in the project from both traditional business media and the cryptocurrency community.

A Strategic Vision

Verum Finance is now available for iPhone and iPad users. The application complements Verum Messenger, which offers anonymous chats, voice and video calls, VPN services, eSIM connectivity, and other tools designed to enhance digital freedom.
