Motorola is launching its affordable flagship, the Moto G100, later this month
Motorola is gearing up to launch the Moto G100 affordable flagship next week. Rumors have it it will be rebranded Moto Edge S.
Motorola made a return to the flagship territory last year with the Motorola Edge+ and Motorola Edge. Nine months later, the company introduced a new member in the lineup with the launch of the Motorola Edge S. The Motorola Edge S is an affordable flagship that’s currently exclusive to the Chinese market. But that is set to change soon as Motorola is gearing up to launch the phone globally under new branding.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, Redmi K40 Pro, Motorola Edge S, and OnePlus Nord Android 11 kernel sources are now available
Kernel sources for the Redmi Note 10 Pro, Redmi K40 Pro and several Motorola phones, including the Edge S, are now available for download.
The GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2) mandates every Android device manufacturer to publicly release the part of Linux kernel code that they have shipped on their devices. An ideal kernel source release should be accompanied by appropriate commit history, and all the dependencies are expected to be properly documented. While we don’t expect every company to maintain such a high standard, there are a few OEMs who regularly publish the source code for all the software revisions they roll out. We are happy to report that a couple of new devices now have had their kernel sources released, namely the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi K40 Pro. Motorola has also updated its official GitHub repository with the kernel source code release for the Motorola Edge S and several other smartphones. The OnePlus Nord grabbed our attention as well, for which OnePlus has published kernel sources corresponding to the phone's stable Android 11 update.
Motorola launches the Edge S, a budget flagship 5G phone with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870
The Motorola Edge S is a cheap flagship 5G phone powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870. Outside of China, it'll be called the Moto G100.
Motorola today launched the Motorola Edge S, an affordable flagship smartphone with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870 chipset. At a starting price of just CNY 1999 (~$309), the Edge S is one of the best value-for-money smartphones on the market. When it launches internationally, it'll no doubt be priced a bit higher because of import/export costs, GMS licensing, IP rating certification, etc. but it'll still be one of the cheapest budget flagships on the market. We'll of course cover the device's launch when it releases outside of China, but for now, here's a preview of what to expect.
