Motorola is developing the 'Geneva' Edge-Series Smartphone with Stylus Support for 2023

According to a source, Motorola will release a new Edge-series smartphone with pen functionality in 2023. The Lenovo-owned smartphone maker is said to be working on a device dubbed 'Geneva.' The device is said to be Edge-branded and to feature stylus input, similar to the Moto G Stylus (2022) and G Stylus 5G. (2022). It is expected to launch in 4G and 5G variants, with the latter bearing the model number XT2315. The Motorola 'Geneva' smartphones, slated in 2023, are rumored to be midrange devices with up to 6GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

Tipster Evan Blass, in partnership with 91Mobiles, has revealed the Geneva smartphone details. According to the source, the company's rumored smartphone will be available in Black Beauty and Crystal Grey colors. It is supposed to be restricted to North America and may be offered through regional telecom companies. However, it is presently unknown when Motorola plans to release the 4G or 5G variants of the Geneva device, or how much they will cost when they do.

While this is not the first Edge-branded smartphone from the company to feature stylus support — according to Blass, the Motorola Edge+ 2022 gained stylus support as part of the company's Folio bundle — the handset is likely to be a midrange smartphone, as Motorola only launches 5G-capable flagship smartphones. The future smartphone might be comparable to the Moto G Stylus (2022) and Moto G Stylus 5G (2022), both of which were released in February and April of this year.

The Moto G Stylus 2022 comes with a 6.80-inch (1,080x2,460 pixel) touchscreen display with a refresh rate of 90Hz and a pixel density of 396ppi. The aspect ratio of the display is 20.5:9. It runs Android 11 and is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio G88 CPU with 6GB of RAM. The phone has a 5000mAh battery.

The Moto G Stylus (2022) has a triple back camera configuration for images and movies, including a 50-megapixel main camera with an f/1.9 aperture lens, an 8-megapixel camera with an f/2.2 aperture lens, and a 2-megapixel camera with an f/2.4 aperture lens. Autofocus is supported by the rear camera configuration. The front-facing single camera arrangement comprises a 16-megapixel sensor with an f/2.2 aperture lens.
