In the ever-accelerating race for silicon supremacy, Motorola has chosen a deliberate moment to re-enter China's flagship arena — arriving first with a chip the world has not yet seen in a consumer device. On January 20th, the company announced the Moto Edge S will debut January 26th, powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870, a processor that quietly outclocks even the newer Snapdragon 888. It is a reminder that in technology, as in many human endeavors, being first can matter as much as being best.
