Details about the phone have been leaked since February, when it was reportedly unveiled at MWC 2020 before that show was canceled due to the coronavirus. But the rumors pointed to a revised release date in April, and it appears Motorola is preparing to unveil its new flagship phone.
We are not too surprised that Motorola has waited so long, as other phone manufacturers have delayed their own announcements and revelations (we suspect the LG V60 was also slated to be revealed at MWC 2020) and the Motorola Z4 was released in May. 2019.
And while we've heard a lot about the Motorola Edge Plus, the launch event on April 22 could include the Motorola Edge, a version that can be smaller and of less specification, very similar to the standard versions in other flagships.

A new flagship … but not the Z series?
Judging from all the leaks and rumors, the Motorola Edge Plus will be very different than the Moto Z series phones that came before it. Instead of a smaller, more affordable phone with lower specs, the Edge Plus appears to be the complete flagship.
Sadly, it doesn't support Moto Mods, but it looks advanced in all other respects: the screen is somewhere between 6.5 inches and 6.8 inches with a 90Hz refresh rate, the triple rear camera includes a 108MP main trigger and is capable of 5G. It will also have a 3.5mm jack, if the leaked renders are true.
Regardless, the rumored Edge Plus suggests that Motorola is getting into the flagship game with a strong competitor to rival the Samsung Galaxy S20 and potential OnePlus 8 phones.
