According to leaks, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra will sport a triple rear camera setup headlined by a 50-megapixel primary sensor. Expectations point to a 6.7-inch OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate.
Touted as the most premium offering in the Edge 50 lineup, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra might debut in the US under the moniker Motorola Edge+ 2024 or Edge Ultra 2024, with an estimated price tag of around $999 (approximately Rs. 83,000).
