To that effect, the moto edge+ has a 165Hz 6.7-inch pOLED curved display, which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. The flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform processor powers the device, alongside 8GB RAM and 256GB/512GB internal memory.

Furthermore, the cameras use hardware and software features optimized by AI to power smart camera functions such as Google Photos Enhance, Auto Smile Capture, Google Lens integration, Smart Composition, Shot Optimization, Auto Night Vision, and Smart High Resolution.

In addition, Motorola says the selfie camera will leverage advanced AI features from Snapdragon’s Cognitive Image Signal Processor to divide scenes into different layers and ensure that each element in the image is optimized independently to generate accurate colors and a realistic final image.
