First batch of 5G-ready Motorola Edge S handsets sell out in two minutes

Last week, Motorola launched the Motorola Edge S in China via a flash sale. Sporting a different design than last year Edge and Flagship Edge +, the device is equipped with a 6.7 inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2520. This produces a large and thin 21: 9 aspect ratio and the screen refreshes 90 times per second (90Hz) for smooth scrolling and animation. Under the hood you’ll find the Snapdragon 870 which is a bit more powerful than the 2020 Snapdragon 865+.

There are three configurations to choose from, 6GB of memory with 128GB of storage (priced at $ 309), 8GB of memory with 128GB of storage ($ 371), and 8GB of memory with 256GB of storage (432 $). On the back, you’ll find four sensors, including a 64 MP primary shooter, 16 MP ultra wide-angle camera, 2 MP depth module, and time-of-flight (ToF) sensor. The front cameras have an 8MP snapper and a 16MP ultra wide angle camera. A 5000mAh battery keeps the lights on and charges at 20W. The phone also monitors the user’s heart rate by scanning the blood vessels in the face.

The Motorola Edge S was offered in blue and silver last week in China thanks to a flash sale. On its Weibo site, Motorola announced that the entire batch of 10,000 units it was selling sold out in just two minutes. This also equates to over 83 units sold per second. The next flash sale will take place on Tuesday, February 9 at 10 a.m. local time.
