Weekly poll results: the Motorola Edge 50 series is promising but overpriced

27 April 2024
The Fusion model didn't get that many complaints about its price, but not much interest either. The Pro model drew in a lot of interest, but the price will have to come down.

silicone polymer back???

"Swap the eye doctor or visit one please."
Get some reading glasses.

"Depends on Vendor here in Slovakia you can find 16/1TB for 899 eur"
Some random cherrpicked vendor doesn't change the original MSRP. And regardless that's still an atrocious price for this junk. The moment they decided to put a crippled version of the 8 Gen 3 in it they lost the right to price it above $600 and call it reasonable. Let alone a thousand bucks.

"Again Vendor dependable stop spreading nonsense."
Again, MSRP.

"LoL you are really delusional. In real life whats the difference between SD 8 gen 3 and SD 8s gen 3??? To run facebook by 0,00000000001 microsecond faster good joke."
The difference is one gets put into expensive phones while the other gets put into cheap phones.

"You sound like you making said phone spreading nonsense. peak brightness is litterary same."
2500 nits ≠ 2600 nits buddy.

"Motorola comes with 144HZ unlike S24 ultra with only 120 HZ screen"
Worse, I will agree. But that's rich coming from the person who said "In real life whats the difference between SD 8 gen 3 and SD 8s gen 3??? To run facebook by 0,00000000001 microsecond faster good joke." Regardless, you were the one who mentioned Samsung. I don't like Samsung. There are far better companies that produce far better phones for the price.

"Even if the screen were real plastic it would be a lot better than one made by samsung which cost way more but have nothing special to justify overpriced price."
Maybe look into this stuff before spouting nonsense.

"And whats gives Samsung 1600 eur pricing???"
""Durrr hurr this guy isn't willing to pay (what I think is only) 899 for one phone, but I think he's willing to pay 1600 for another phone that he never even mentioned! I sure am smart!" No, you very smart individual, I am not willing to pay 1600 of your invisible currency when I am not going to pay 899 euros for another phone."
My brother in Christ, I know you read that. You went and added the "eur" bit after I called you out on not listing a currency. Why are you continuing to try to put words into my mouth.

"updates are nothing important. 3-4 years are more than enough for everyone."
You were the one who mentioned software being a pro, not me.

"I run own phoneshop company since 2000 here in Czech and Slovakia selling tons of phones of various brands and accesories. I can speak from own experience but you speak from a nonsense filled brain. Like i said on beggining of this stupid conversation either swap your eye doctor or visit one please."
Damn that's crazy. I don't care in the slightest. You think that makes you qualified? I had a Redmi K40 with a broken screen, took it to phone repair shops in my area, and the workers there had never even heard of Xiaomi. Repaired it myself. These people crack open phones and repair them and don't even know what Xiaomi is. You merely sell phones. You don't make them, you don't repair them, and you are no expert on them as evident by your ramblings.

"Like i said before put both to the comparison in every aspect said Motorola won over samsung"
You're saying this in response to a sentence where I called you out on putting words into my mouth? When I called you out for claiming I'm "willing to pay 1600 for same specced samsung phone" when I haven't bought a Samsung since I got a decade old Note 4? I don't like arguing with people who claim to win arguments, but when you create an imaginary point that only serves to put words in someone else's mouth, argue against that point instead of the topic at hand, get called out on it, then double down on it despite being called out on it, you've lost the argument. I shouldn't even be responding to you after that nonsense.

I do not like Samsung. I do not think the S24 Ultra is a good phone. You mentioned Samsung and were deluded enough to think this junk was as good as the S24 Ultra. And you used the MSRP of their phone yet had the audacity to claim random third party vendor prices were somehow acceptable in this argument for the cruddy Motorola. Knock $200 off your price of the S24 Ultra if you wanna play that game.

"Now you clearly described your self. Congrats. Hope you are happy now and parents are proud of you."
Nah, read it again and cope and seethe. You need to reflect.

    Bro where in the specs shet of ultra do you read plastic???
    Swap the eye doctor or visit one please.

    "From when a phone which cost 899 in europe"
    €999 for the base model. Or $1065.
    Depends on Vendor here in Slovakia you can find 16/1TB for 899 eur in pantone peach fuzz color. A certified color for a phone first in kind. Which aint comes cheap. Your numbers i mean prices are bad please look for basic vendors not some overpriced amazon or ebay.

    "which cost 899 in europe with a 16GB ram and a 1TB disk space"
    €999 for the base model with 12 gigs of ram and 512 gigs of storage.
    Again Vendor dependable stop spreading nonsense.

    "with latest hardware"
    Yeah, a crippled version of the 8 Gen 3, that's real cream of the crop hardware right there.
    LoL you are really delusional. In real life whats the difference between SD 8 gen 3 and SD 8s gen 3??? To run facebook by 0,00000000001 microsecond faster good joke.

    "with latest hardware software"
    I would hope my brand new, just released phone comes with the latest software.
    If you buy something like Doogee, Evolveo, Oukitel, Blackview or Cubot yes. Motorola gives stable updates and comes free from bloatware UI like Samsung, Or Apple or Color OS etc. Pure android experience no preinstalled crap in phone.

    "and a pantone certifications"
    Worthless. It's a plastic OLED panel with lower peak brightness and a lower resolution than the AMOLED panel on the S24 Ultra. Regardless of 0.05% better color accuracy it's a worse panel. Not that you're even doing anything on your Motorola that requires high color accuracy.
    You sound like you making said phone spreading nonsense. peak brightness is litterary same. Motorola comes with 144HZ unlike S24 ultra with only 120 HZ screen, Many else worse on Samsung. If you just came to compare pears and apples you picked wrong brand. Even if the screen were real plastic it would be a lot better than one made by samsung which cost way more but have nothing special to justify overpriced price.

    "which aint comes cheap"
    Trust me nothing you've mentioned thus far warrants a high price.
    And whats gives Samsung 1600 eur pricing??? Or google Pixel 100 eur or Xiaomi 1500??? We speaking about european prices not chinese ones. Even Apple cost ay more and is china made with china made components and china made quality just Apple acting like those companies must meets some crappy standarts to prove they are better.

    "You people are delusional. Willing to pay 1600 for same specced samsung phone"
    "Durrr hurr this guy isn't willing to pay (what I think is only) 899 for one phone, but I think he's willing to pay 1600 for another phone that he never even mentioned! I sure am smart!" No, you very smart individual, I am not willing to pay 1600 of your invisible currency when I am not going to pay 899 euros for another phone.
    Dude please get a job, read something, learn something and then act as a hero.
    I run own phoneshop company since 2000 here in Czech and Slovakia selling tons of phones of various brands and accesories. I can speak from own experience but you speak from a nonsense filled brain. Like i said on beggining of this stupid conversation either swap your eye doctor or visit one please.


    "for same specced samsung phone"
    No, this cruddy Motorola with its crippled version of the 8 Gen 3 does not have the same specs as an S24 Ultra. Right its lot better in every aspect if i put both to comparison.
    Samsung cant compete apart said S pen and few more updates which are irelevant because you cant upgrade hardware wich will not keep with software over time said updates are nothing important. 3-4 years are more than enough for everyone. Most people buys from phone carrier for a contract for like 2 years and when phone is paid the sell old one and buy new one. Outdated old phone with almost zero value is hard to sell for more than 50-100 bucks.

    "and caling it okay price"
    Is the gentleman "caling it okay price" in the room with us? Why have you just gone and put words in my mouth? Because you can't disprove what I actually said?
    Bro please grow up, read something, learn something, get some experiences and then talk.
    Been here for decades on these pages also running a phoneshop company in Chechoslovakia with 30+ stores you have no clue. Nothing at all just trying to promote your lies as a real fact even if are lies. Like i said before put both to the comparison in every aspect said Motorola won over samsung only number of updates, S pen and maybe a benchmark score is in favor for samsung but in real life experience the phone will be equally smooth running everything and with 16GB ram will be even better than Said samsung which have only 12.

    "You all makes zero sense and should use a brain before posting nonsense."
    The irony in someone like you saying something like this. These aren't hollow words either. I've made over 4 thousand responses to people on this site and it's usually arguing with people I deem foolish. But you, my friend, probably rank in the bottom 10% of them.
    Now you clearly described your self. Congrats. Hope you are happy now and parents are proud of you.

                                Most other flagships cost much over 1000 and by your comparison the price is okay but this one with all eccesary accesories in box is overpriced to you.

                                      Also, according to specs, it's much better than Nord CE4 that costs 27k for 256 GB. No way this should cost even less than that for you.
