I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t paid much attention to Motorola outside of its Razr foldable phones. That’s because I’m still bitter about how its previous flagship phones — the Moto X and Moto Z — failed to keep pace with its rivals. But with rumors heating up around the Motorola Edge Plus (2024), it has me thinking about how it could be the dark horse that shakes up the flagship phone space.
You could argue that its Razr line has reinjected life into the company, but it has leaned on budget and mid-range phones to carry the company. What’s been lacking is a worthy flagship phone model. Motorola has tried to reinsert itself in the flagship space with models like the 2020 release of the Motorola Edge Plus and its successors, but they were never direct rivals to the best phones around.
