    Motorola Edge 50 Neo Price Leaked Before Official Launch

    Motorola’s Edge series is likely to welcome a new addition soon, the Edge 50 Neo. Although the phone hasn’t been officially unveiled, an Italian retailer’s early listing has provided insights into its price and color choices.

    Pricing and Storage Options

    Tipster Paras Guglani found the Edge 50 Neo in two storage configurations: 8GB RAM with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM with 512GB storage. The base model is priced at EUR 425.90 (around USD 465), while the premium variant is listed at EUR 496.91 (around USD 542).

    The listing mentions two color options – Milk (likely white) and Nautical Blue. A previous report this week suggested two more color choices – Gray and Poincana – making it a total of four. It’s also speculated that some of these colors could be Pantone-certified, a trend common in recent Motorola devices.

    Design and Specifications

    While the color options appear to be confirmed, the phone’s design and specifications remain a mystery. There are no available renders, and the leak does not provide any details on its hardware. However, given that it’s a successor, it’s plausible that the Edge 50 Neo will share some features with its predecessor, the Edge 40 Neo.

    The Xiaomi 15 series is anticipated to debut in China this October. As the launch date approaches, various rumors have surfaced, unveiling the design and specifications of the device. The latest rumor confirms the camera specs of the Xiaomi 15 Pro.
