Motorola’s 2022 camera flagship is ready unveiled in China later this monththe phone uses Samsung’s new 200MP ISOCELL HP1 sensor† It was initially leaked codenamed “Frontier”, but we now know that the phone will likely be marketed as the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra†
Leakster Nils Ahrensmeier also claims to know how much it will cost – €900 for a 12/256GB unit. That’s only €100 more than a Edge 30 Pro (with the same 12/256 GB memory configuration). Of course, the Pro has a fairly basic 50MP 1/1.55″ main camera, no match for the HP1, which has a 1/1.22″ optical format.
Motorola Edge 30 Ultra: the official info so far
The phone will be upgraded to the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and it’s rumored to go up to 125W wired charging (up from 68W) for its 4,500mAh battery. The screen should be essentially the same, a 6.67-inch OLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate.
Motorola revealed the focal lengths for the Edge 30 Ultra’s three cameras – 35, 50 and 85 mm† The main camera on most phones is wider than that (about 23mm, let’s say) and they have an even shorter focal length at their ultra-wide angle (13mm or so). We’ll see what that’s about soon enough.
Ahrensmeier warns that the Ultra’s prices may vary. He also mentions the Motorola Edge 30 Neo, which was previously leaked as the Edge 30 Lite† This one goes for $400 or just under the price of the Edge 30.

The Lite/Neo phone is: expected to have a 64MP main camera with OIS and a 13MP ultrawide (no other modules on the back). It should be smaller with a 6.28-inch 120Hz FHD+ OLED (32MP selfie camera). It is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 695 with 8/256 GB of storage and a 4020 mAh battery with 30 W fast charging.
Motorola will likely unveil both new additions to the Edge family at the same time this month.
