Lenovo-owned smartphone brand Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, based in China, has announced that it will launch in India on June 18. The Ultra smartphone will be available alongside the Edge 50 Pro and Edge 50 Fusion as the third model in the Motorola Edge series. Peach Fuzz, Forest Grey, and Wood are the three Pantone-validated colours that will be available for the smartphone. The Peach Fuzz will be available with a frosted glass finish, the Forest Grey will have a texture like vegan leather, and the Wood colour choice will have a back cover composed of actual wood.
The smartphone will support Moto AI, the company’s exclusive artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, such as Magic Canvas, as it follows the AI trend. A microsite on the online retailer Flipkart has revealed important details, confirming AI features including 100x AI super zoom and AI adaptive stabilisation.
It is anticipated that the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra will include a 6.7-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 144Hz and 1.5K resolution. A peak brightness of 2500 nits and 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage are anticipated for the panel.
