Motorola may have teased the Edge 50 Neo ahead of its impending launch

What you need to know

• Motorola posted a short teaser video on X about an upcoming phone launch, which shows off a few Pantone colors and the Lytia image sensor.
• While Moto doesn't spill the name, rumors claim the device could be the next Edge 50 Neo, leaked by European retailers with a 6.4-inch display.
• Motorola states the mystery device will launch on August 29.

Motorola is ramping up its teaser engine, bringing awareness to an upcoming launch of what could be a mid-range smartphone.

Motorola posted a short video on X that takes users through an assortment of colors. Aside from the aesthetics, Motorola's video continuously teases two things: Lytia and Pantone. The latter references a company Motorola has leaned on for colors for various devices like Razr Plus and the Edge 40 Neo .

The teaser clip may have clued us into at least two colors we might expect: Peach Fuzz and Latte. Then there's "Lytia," which references the mobile imaging sensor within the device.

The post's teaser states Moto is gearing up for a launch on August 29, but doesn't spill the name.

However, we may have an inkling, as a report by YTECHB suggests the device in question is the midrange Moto Edge 50 Neo (via 91Mobiles ). According to a Ukrainian listing, the phone may arrive with a 6.4-inch POLED, 120Hz refresh rate display. Internally, Moto may pack MediaTek's Dimensity 7300 SoC alongside Android 14.

Other alleged specifications include a 50MP primary lens, a 13MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP telephoto camera. The publication reportedly picked up on another listing from Hungary, which claims the device will arrive in four colors: Nautical Blue, Latte, Poinciana, and Grisaille.

If this device is the next iteration of Moto's Neo, it will offer a slight upgrade in terms of photography. The Edge 40 Neo launched with a vertical, dual sensor array on its rear panel with a 50MP primary lens and a 13MP ultrawide lens. This year's rumors claim that a new telephoto will join the fray, turning things into a triple configuration.

Elsewhere, the device's display may shrink to 6.4 inches instead of continuing with its predecessor's 6.5-inch screen. There's also the fact that Motorola launched the Edge 40 Neo in mid-September last year, meaning an August 29 debut of the next version (sort of) makes sense.

Motorola launched another mid-range earlier this year, the Edge 50 Pro with a passable 4,500mAh battery and a 6.7-inch display. The phone features Qualcomm's 2023 mid-range specific Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
