Hyderabad: Motorola, the Lenovo-owned smartphone brand, is all set to launch its new “Edge 20” smartphone series in India on August 17. The company has announced the launch of Edge 20 and Edge 20 Fusion smartphones on its social media handles. While the Edge 20 looks similar to the same model launched in Europe last month, Edge 20 Fusion might be a rebranded version of Edge 20 Lite.
Both devices are set to run on the latest Android 11. In a market dominated by affordable Chinese manufacturers, these two offerings come as a desperate attempt by the company to recapture its dwindling market share in the mid-range segment.
“Change the game and top the leaderboard with the fastest 576Hz touch rate in the all-new #motorolaedge20. #FindYourEdge and emerge victorious as it launches 17th Aug, 12 PM on @Flipkart,” the company wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Recently, the company had posted some teasers on its official Instagram and Twitter accounts with the hashtag #FindYourEdge, suggesting an imminent launch of the Edge 20 lineup in India.
