Motorola drops edge (2025) price – $300 in freebies included
Motorola’s quietly unleashed a surprisingly aggressive deal on its Edge (2025), a device already a generation behind the curve, but now available for as little as $299.99 – and that’s before you factor in the accompanying freebies.
A bargain, but with a caveat
The initial savings are a respectable $150, bringing the phone’s price down to $399.99. But savvy shoppers can unlock an additional $100 through a trade-in program, potentially slashing the final cost to $299.99. Motorola’s claiming consistent trade-in values, a welcome bonus for those looking to lighten their wallet.
Bundled perks – watch and buds included
And it doesn’t stop there. Motorola’s throwing in a Moto Watch and a pair of Moto Buds 2 Plus, valued at a combined $299.99 – effectively doubling the initial discount. It’s a tempting package, especially for those seeking a solid smartwatch and wireless earbuds without the premium price tag.
Under the hood – dimensity 7400 and a 120hz display
Don’t be fooled by the low price. The Edge (2025) is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM – enough grunt for everyday use. It also boasts a 6.7-inch OLED display with a crisp 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1400 nits, ensuring vibrant visuals, even in direct sunlight. While it won’t win any photography awards—mid-range sensors rarely do—the 50MP main camera delivers acceptable results, though expect some aggressive oversharpening.
Battery life and charging – a solid performance
Battery anxiety is a thing of the past with the 5200mAh cell, easily lasting a full day. And when you do need a boost, the 68W fast charging gets you back to 100% in just 53 minutes. However, prospective buyers should be aware of the limited software update commitment – Android 17 will be supported, but subsequent major OS updates are unlikely, with security patches extending until June 2028.
The bottom line: a smart move for budget-conscious buyers
Despite the lack of long-term software support, the Motorola Edge (2025) represents a compelling value proposition. At $299.99 with the freebies, it’s a surprisingly attractive option for users prioritizing performance and a decent display over bleeding-edge features. It's a quiet win for those seeking a capable device without breaking the bank.
