[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] Motorola is knocking on the door of the domestic market again with an ultra-slim, ultra-lightweight 5G smartphone priced at half the cost compared to Samsung Electronics and Apple. Motorola Korea announced on the 25th that it will launch the ultra-lightweight 5G smartphone 'Edge30' equipped with dual SIM in Korea. The Motorola Edge30 is Motorola's first unlocked model released in Korea. Sales began on Coupang from 7 a.m. on the same day. The budget phone version is sold through LG HelloVision's 'Hello Mobile.'

The Edge30 features the world's thinnest 5G smartphone design, offering a sleek design and a slim size of 6.79 mm that fits perfectly in the hand. It is available with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It is equipped with a 50-megapixel (50MP) camera, a Full HD+ OLED display supporting a 144Hz refresh rate, Dolby Atmos sound, fast charging (33W), and a 4020mAh battery.

The display has a built-in fingerprint module, allowing users to unlock the phone simply by touching the screen. It features a 50MP ultra-wide main (rear) camera with full-pixel instant autofocus and dual 32MP front cameras with quad-pixel technology. While conventional autofocus technology uses about 3% of pixels, full-pixel instant autofocus uses 100% of pixels in both vertical and horizontal patterns, delivering faster and more accurate performance.

Edge30 users can vividly enjoy their favorite movies and games on the HDR10+ 6.5-inch OLED display supporting a 144Hz refresh rate that meets the DCI-P3 cinema standard. The large stereo speakers supporting Dolby Atmos provide deeper and clearer sound experiences.

The Edge30 boasts powerful performance with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ chipset. It enables lag-free downloads, streaming, and video calls, and connects to the fastest Wi-Fi 6E1 network using an advanced modem. The TurboPower 33W fast charger provides hours of battery power with just a few minutes of charging.

With the Ready For feature, users can wirelessly connect the Edge30 to a monitor or TV to enjoy games or video calls on a larger screen, offering an experience similar to using a desktop. The Edge30 is equipped with ThinkShield security technology, used in Lenovo ThinkPad laptops, to securely protect users' data.

Additionally, the dual SIM allows users to separate daily and work use or domestic and overseas use, making it suitable for the privacy-conscious MZ generation.

The Motorola Edge30 is available in two colors: Meteor Gray and Supermoon Silver. The official retail price is 599,000 KRW. The unlocked version is available from the 25th through Coupang's Jet Delivery, and the budget phone version can be purchased from LG HelloVision's Hello Mobile Direct online shop. A special opening discount promotion offers it at 469,000 KRW for Coupang Wow members.

Purchasing through LG HelloVision's official online store allows customers to get up to the maximum subsidy starting from a 29,000 KRW monthly 5G plan, enabling purchase of the device at zero cost. Both Coupang unlocked and LG HelloVision budget phone purchases come with two years of free after-sales service at 46 Lenovo service centers nationwide.

Shin Jae-sik, General Manager of Motorola Korea, said, “The Motorola Edge30, the world's thinnest 5G smartphone, empowers users to express their creativity and individuality with industry-leading features,” adding, “We will continue to expand consumers' choices by launching a variety of Motorola products in Korea, from budget to flagship models.”
