It costs more than the Edge S that debuted earlier this year with a Snapdragon 870 chip, and will go on sale from August 17.

The Edge Lite costs 2,599 Yuan for the base version with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. That translates to Rs 30,000 for India. There’s another variant with 256GB storage that goes for Yuan 2,899. There’s a cheaper version with 6GB RAM as well but that hasn’t got a price yet. Motorola is yet to reveal plans for launching this model globally.

The cameras on the Edge Lite don’t compromise too. The main camera is using a 108-megapixel 1/1.52-inch sensor. This is accompanied by a 16-megapixel ultra-wide camera that can also take macro photos. There’s also a tertiary 8-megapixel telephoto camera that has OIS assistance for stability and 3x optical zoom. The front camera gets a 32-megapixel camera for selfies and videos.

It remains to be seen whether Motorola considers bringing the Edge Lite to India and other global markets. With a spec sheet this tempting, the Edge Lite could be a solid option in the sub-Rs 30,000 smartphone space as an alternative to the likes of the Oppo Reno 6, OnePlus Nord 2 and Realme X7 Max.
