The US edge (2025) gives each of its rear cameras a different job. Shoot a building across the street, the room inside it and a small detail on the wall without carrying another lens. That versatility is a stronger reason to step up from a basic phone than the number of megapixels on the box.

Motorola edge (2025) review

Pros
- The 3× telephoto covers a useful distance between a portrait and a distant subject.
- The ultrawide doubles as a close-focusing macro camera.
Cons
- The display curves near its edges, which may affect your choice of protector.
- Maximum wired charging needs a compatible high-power adapter.

- 10 MP 3× telephoto
PhoneArena’s comparison confirms the change that matters most from the 2024 US edge. The previous phone had a main and ultrawide camera; the 2025 version adds the 3× lens. 1 The ultrawide also focuses as close as 2.5 cm under Motorola’s specification. That gives an electronic component or a flower a useful place in the camera’s range.
Display & Design
- 6.7-inch curved pOLED
- up to 120 Hz
- IP68 and IP69
Curved glass makes this a different proposition from a flat screen in a thick case. Check the edge coverage of a protector you plan to use. Motorola's water ratings describe controlled freshwater and jet tests. Let the port dry before charging after a spill.
Performance & Storage
- Dimensity 7400
- 8 GB RAM
- 256 GB storage
The US unlocked Deep Forest configuration comes with 256 GB. That leaves room for downloaded playlists and photographs on a trip, though backing up originals still matters. The processor and memory are the same decisions whatever camera mode you choose.
Battery & Charging
- 5,200 mAh typical
- up to 68 W wired
- 15 W wireless
Plug in to take advantage of the higher charging ceiling before leaving home. A wireless pad makes more sense for regular desk use where the phone can stay put. A wattage rating tells you about supported equipment, not the elapsed time from an arbitrary battery level.
Alternatives
The moto g stylus (2025) gives up the dedicated 3× camera and adds a pen that stores inside the phone. Pick the stylus for annotating a photo or plan. If you own the 2024 edge and mostly use its main camera, the extra optical perspective is the change to try before upgrading.
Verdict
The 2025 edge works best for someone who regularly switches between close detail, a wide scene and a subject beyond arm’s reach. Buy it for those useful distances and the 256 GB of room to keep the results.
