The Motorola Edge 2022 Dimensity pairing marks a significant shift for the brand: this is the first Edge-series flagship to run on MediaTek silicon, replacing last year's Snapdragon 778G with the newer Dimensity 1050 chipset. Launched initially in the US and Canada at $499.99 (around ₹40,000), the phone also ships with Android 12 and Motorola's My UX skin, backed by a four-year security-update commitment — one of the longest in its segment.
Motorola Edge 2022 Dimensity 1050 Performance and Display
At the heart of the Motorola Edge 2022 sits the MediaTek Dimensity 1050 processor, paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The chipset supports both mmWave and sub-6GHz 5G bands, giving buyers access to the fastest available networks in the US and Canada.
The display is a 6.6-inch Full HD+ OLED panel running at a fluid 144 Hz refresh rate, with a 20:9 aspect ratio and HDR10+ support for vivid, wide-colour content. An in-display fingerprint sensor handles biometric unlocking without any extra notch or physical button on the front.
Camera System and Video Capabilities
Motorola has given the Edge 2022 a triple rear-camera setup led by a 50 MP primary lens (f/1.8) with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS). A 13 MP ultra-wide lens and a dedicated depth sensor round out the rear array. The rear cameras record 4K video at 30 fps. On the front, a 32 MP selfie camera handles video calls and portrait shots.
