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.

Most major cell service providers require you to sign a multiyear contract, so choosing the right one is a big decision.

Amazon’s Building Humanoid Robots to Speed Deliveries to You

Amazon is reportedly testing package-delivery bots in one of its facilities. Will they talk to your Ring doorbell?

Amazon has used drones to deliver packages, but according to an internal report cited by The Information, the retailer is planning to test out more human-like autonomous delivery methods. Namely, robots that would walk right up to your door to deliver items.

The company is reportedly finishing work on a San Francisco-based obstacle park to work on the technology. It’s unclear how soon the technology might be developed or used for real-world deliveries.

Amazon has been touting its work in robotics for the home and for warehouse work, but this is the first time the company has made an explicit push into using human-like robotics for package delivery, which could replace human workers. The robots would use some of the same AI technology that the company is rolling across other areas of its business.

Along with delivery robots, Amazon is working on humanoid robots that would work in its warehouses, according to Reuters, reporting on an event at Amazon’s Lab126 research facility.

In a post on its X account, Amazon pointed to a story about how it’s using agentic AI across several fronts: «We’re developing foundation models that will allow fulfillment center robots to understand and act on natural language commands. Imagine saying ‘Pick up that yellow tote’ and having a robot do it instantly. The future of robotics is here, and it speaks your language.»

The company has hundreds of robotics-related job listings posted in the US, Canada, Germany and Luxembourg. 

 Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for information.
