Gamers rejoice: Motorola’s new Edge 30 Pro smartphone has a 144Hz OLED display

Motorola has announced its new flagship smartphone, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro, will be available on March 31 2022 in Australia, with pre-orders already underway at JB Hi-Fi and at select retailers. 

The Motorola Edge 30 Pro, which first previewed at MWC in Barcelona, is the latest Motorola handset to feature the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Mobile Platform – that’s Qualcomm’s latest technology that makes premium functionality like 5G connectivity and ultra-high res photography possible.  

Looking at the list of features on offer though, we’d think you’d probably want to launch a game or two on the Edge 30 Pro as a first priority, since it comes packed with features for gaming performance and responsiveness. Motorola says its gaming prowess is powered by Snapdragon Elite Gaming software and a rearchitected Qualcomm Adreno GPU that provides 30 percent more power and 20 percent more efficiency than previously.

Among other benefits, these optimisations should boost the colour-rich HDR graphics on the Edge 30 Pro’s large 6.7-inch OLED display, which is a decent size for mobile gaming. Being a mobile device, we only hope the display is bright enough to play in all kinds of lighting conditions.
