The first-gen Motorola Edge device is a premium mid-range smartphone with a display wrapping around its edges. Fresh leaks suggest a series of phones that will make the second generation of the Motorola Edge family.
Credible leaker Evan Blass has leaked the specifications of the upcoming Motorola Edge phones. He has also leaked that the different devices will be marketed to different parts of the World.

Coming to the other two variants of the second-gen Motorola Edge family, we have codename Kyoto and Pstar. While Kyoto will sell in the Global as well as Indian market, Pstar will sell in Asia, Europe, Australia, Latin America, and India.
Evan also says that the codename Pstar may be an alternate for a device also named Sierra. Here are the specifications of both phones:

Second-Gen Motorola Edge Release Date
While there’s no official release date, we can expect these phones to release at different dates around the world. Starting with Berlin, the device is expected to have a mid-range processor with a decent display and battery life.
Coming to Kyoto and Pstar, the former looks like a budget-oriented device. It could come in a premium finish to justify its Moto-Edge badge. In terms of specifications, Pstar looks the most promising, with a Snapdragon 800 series chip, display output, and an under-display fingerprint scanner.
We’d like to see Motorola make a comeback into the Asian markets. Moto devices are popular for their stock Android experience, and decent build and pricing. With the new Moto Edge phones, we can expect premium-feeling devices from the Lenovo-owned brand.
