Micron’s Low-Power DDR5 DRAM Boosts Performance and Consumer Experience of Motorola’s New Flagship Edge+ Smartphone
April 22 2020 - 12:00PM
Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), together with Motorola, today
announced integration of Micron’s low-power DDR5 (LPDDR5) DRAM into
Motorola’s new motorola edge+ smartphone, bringing the full
potential of the 5G experience to consumers. Micron and Motorola
worked in close collaboration to enable the edge+ to reach 5G
network speeds that require maximum processing power coupled with
high bandwidth memory and storage.
With 12 gigabytes (GB) of industry-leading Micron LPDDR5 DRAM
memory, motorola edge+ delivers a smooth, lag-free consumer
experience. The new phone takes advantage of the faster data speeds
and lower latency of 5G to increase the performance of cloud-based
applications such as gaming and streaming entertainment.
“Our collaboration with Motorola on its flagship smartphone
highlights the importance that mobile device manufacturers are
placing on next-generation memory solutions that provide higher
performance and richer consumer experiences,” said Dr. Raj Talluri,
senior vice president and general manager of the Mobile Business
Unit at Micron. “This announcement underscores how the mobile
industry is coalescing behind Micron’s LPDDR5 for 5G flagship
smartphone designs.”
Micron and Motorola Deliver Next-Gen Smartphone
FeaturesWhether for photography, gaming, streaming or just
browsing the web, consumers demand performance from a flagship
smartphone, not delays. Micron’s LPDDR5 memory in the motorola
edge+ unleashes more features to consumers:
- Professional photography: The motorola edge+
has one of the most advanced, professional camera systems on a
smartphone today. From its 108MP Quad Pixel main sensor (the
highest resolution ever in a smartphone) and high-res optical zoom
to its industry-leading advanced video stabilization, the phone was
designed to capture the moment as users intended. Micron’s LPDDR5
memory provides a performance buffer that improves image processing
to provide a seamless latency-free user experience.
- Enhanced gaming: Motorola is introducing a new
gaming feature called Moto GameTime on several smartphones this
year. The feature automatically blocks interruptions and gives
users access to game-enhancing apps and tools. Micron’s LPDDR5
memory provides higher bandwidth and lower power consumption,
enabling consumers to enjoy an improved mobile gaming
experience.
- Immersive entertainment: Powered by Micron’s
LPDDR5 memory, Motorola’s flagship phone can completely immerse
consumers in their favorite movies, TV shows and games. Stretching
6.7 inches and wrapping nearly 90 degrees around both sides, the
“endless edge” display delivers breathtaking scenes and enhances
the viewing area for better mobile entertainment. Adding to the
visual mobile entertainment experience is high-quality audio. The
motorola edge+ has two powerful stereo speakers that deliver deeper
bass and crisp, clean vocals, even at higher volumes.
“Consumers continue to seek faster, more efficient and higher
performing smartphones, and together with Micron, we’ve created a
device that answers these needs,” said Jeff Snow, head of Premium
& Flagship Product at Motorola. “From a more immersive display
and crisper audio to professional-grade image processing,
integrating Micron’s LPDDR5 memory into the motorola edge+ has
allowed us to create a seamless consumer experience that is
uniquely its own.”
Micron’s LPDDR5 DRAM Memory Delivers for the Mobile
Industry — And BeyondDesigned to address the growing
demand for higher memory performance and lower energy consumption
across a wide array of markets beyond just mobile — including
automotive, client PCs and networking systems built for 5G and AI
applications — Micron’s LPDDR5 DRAM memory includes these features
and benefits:
- Bandwidth boosted by more than 50% to accelerate the
performance of next-generation flagship smartphone capabilities
such as 5G and AI.
- More than 20% power efficiency as compared to LPDDR4, enabling
flagship smartphones to operate longer between charges. As more
advanced features are added to medium- and high-end smartphones,
the constant demand for battery power continues to increase.
- Micron’s advanced 1y nanometer node in 12GB capacity and at a
data speed of 6.4Gbps improves overall DRAM design, which enables
the next-generation features available on the edge+
smartphone.
