Motorola Edge 30 goes official with 6.5" 144Hz OLED display, SD778G+

27 April 2022
And a dual 50MP camera on the back, similar to the one in the Edge 30 Pro. The phone costs about half as much as the Pro, however.

    Nikojas, 27 Apr 2022Could a current Motorola user give their opinion if it'... moreI am a Motorola fan, particularly for their clean stock android software (no bloatware, no adware etc). But I am perplexed by Motorola's decisions for the specs of their phones. Specific to this phone, I am unable to grasp why/how Motorola is deciding on the below specifications.

    1. 4000mah battery - Inadequate by 2022 standards (biggest con for this phone)
    2. No headphone jack/card slot - May not be an issue for everyone, but I am unable to find valid justifications for not including those.
    3. No telephoto camera - Again, why remove it when it was available in the previous generation phone (Moto Edge 20)

      Android.Oreo, 27 Apr 2022No headphone jack, no Telephoto camera. And most likely jus... moreAnd given how the A52s 5G was with the same hardware, priced at 449-399 upon launch (With a EOL price of 329), the 450 announced price if not a good one, sadly. Better scrap a sealed box of a A52s 5G somewhere, that will have more support over the year too.

        Muthu, 27 Apr 2022Worst in software department? Seriously? Like what - no blo... more'poor software quality overall' for OneUI ? Sorry but I beg to differ; if you refer to TouchWiz, there I agree. But upon the last few announcement about how Samsung will add some years of support and all, given how they handle (well) the global roll out of OTA update and such, how is it a bad thing ? You prefer perhaps a iOS clone from Chinese maker ? I really liked Xiaomi in the past (And still have a lot of product from that era) but that's the main reason why I couldn't like in the long run :P

          Nikojas, 27 Apr 2022Could a current Motorola user give their opinion if it'... moreI am currently using edge 20. Its a good phone. Camera is generally good but average at low light. The light weight and slim profile what I really liked. Even I would like to upgrade edge 30 since it is smaller thinner and lighter.

            Could a current Motorola user give their opinion if it's worth it? Haters who don't own a Motorola phone saying this is bad isn't much help to anyone!

Like what - no bloatware, no ads, stable OS without any stupid/irritating bugs. Except Pixel phones from Google, which other phones have this strength in the Android world? Definitely, not the other Chinese ones (Xiaomi, BBK or Huawei) or Samsung phones which have much poor software quality overall.

I thought the OS (Stock Android, NO ads, No bloatware) is the only positive thing about this phone. Do you want Moto phones to lose the ONLY strength that they have?

                    Anonymous, 27 Apr 2022Tiamna screen and JN1 camera? No thanks ... The main camera is an Omnivision OV50a with 1/1.5” sensor size and 1 micron pixel size. The main sensor is basically Omnivision's equivalent of the imx766. The ultrawide is the jn1 but at this price that is pretty good for an ultrawide with most competitors using 8mp ultrawides in this price range. Camera hardware is decent for the price

                      450€ for a smartphone with snap 778G+? i could understand this price with dimensity 8100/9000 or snap 888. Good phones with snap 778 cost bellow 300€ retail, and we have 450€. Its way too expensive for me.

The idea is you'll get fed up of it faster and so will buy a new one sooner. They don't want to make good phones that people can keep for 4 or 5 years

                                jerem06, 27 Apr 20224 020 mAh ?! :-(I do find it kind of confusing that phone companies are reducing the size of their batteries when the CPUs inside the phones are getting more power-hungry.
                                Then again I do feel like they're doing it so the charging feels more faster when it's only about 50W or lower, and you still get pretty okay battery life.

                                  4 020 mAh ?! :-(

                                    symmetrical top and bottom bezels? A nice touch if they are.

                                      Else, buying it at that price is ridiculous
