Motorola Edge 50 Ultra: Premium Phone with Unique Build?
Traditionally, premium smartphones feature glass panels, and recently, vegan leather has gained popularity. However, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is likely to introduce a unique wood back option. From its global launch, we know the smartphone might come in three color variants with two different back materials. These include Forest Grey and Peach Fuzz for the vegan leather variant and Nordic Wood, which uses real wood. All variants are framed with sandblasted aluminum.
