In one such post, Motorola hints at phones that come with an amalgamation of stunning design and cutting-edge technology offering a flagship experience to the users. Interestingly, the company isn’t using the moniker “flagship” phone and just says flagship experience. Probably, it wants to bring the Edge 20 Pro at a later date based on the response it gets after the launch of these two phones. Only time will tell.
