Renders of the phone were leaked in March, a month prior to the phone's anticipated launch on the mobile review blog Price Baba.[3]
On 13 April, Motorola put out a tweet announcing a virtual launch for its next flagship phone on 22 April. The phone was originally meant to be launched at the Mobile World Congress in February but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
On 21 April, a day prior to the scheduled event, a blog post detailing the phone's features appeared on Motorola's blog before it was pulled down.[5][6][7]
Almost after a month of the global launch, on 19 May 2020, the company also launched the Motorola Edge+ (2020) in India. [8]
