Motorola Edge 50 Neo in for review

01 September 2024
In the fetching Poinciana color, no less.

To be fair, I'd happily trade 30-40% battery life off my 234 grams of S23 Ultra. No way I'm getting a phone over 200 grams after testing what it's like to have a brick in your pocket. My pockets have been getting holes ever since December last year when I got this phone. Wasn't a problem with my vanilla S22 before that.

The Xperia 1 VI may have shitty tele camera and poor PPI screen but below 200 grams. Will be my next phone after this "brick experience".

Go Motorola!

        It's light, strong, and relatively cheaper than metal and glass, not to mention that, depending on its construction, it can dissipate heat a little better.

          Kindly stop calling plastic "vegan leather."
          Plastic is harmful to all life. It's plastic. This phone has a plastic back.
          Say it with me. "This phone has a back made of PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC PLASTIC"

                        If you want a buggy phone with no updates buy a Motorola

                          @ Team GSMArena, the display resolution given the device information (1256x2760) page appears to be incorrect. Motorola UK website specifies the resolution to be 1220x2670 at 460ppi. And even that might be incorrect. The TENAA certification had the resolution as 1200x2670 which is close to 20:9 (whereas 1220x2670 calculates to 19.7:9). Also with 1220 pixels at 460ppi, the display would be wide enough to necessitate an 'edge' screen, whereas it appears that the device is nearly flat.

                          I'd request @Team GSMArena to check the resolution from the device itself and update the information page.

                              My comment did this

                              -Point out the irony of plastic that is usually ridiculed for cheap feel is the same material that is getting praised for a premium feel

                              The definition of irony:

                              the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, contrary to what one expects..

                              Now I did this without being toxic and calling you a clown...

                              Now See if you can try and have a discussion with presenting your points

                                    But I think you don't understand when they say premium feel there is no way in hell they are using it as some means to tell us about the actual quality of the material

                                    It's the same superficial impression in both scenarios

To them chip Quad A78 + quad A55 should be on phones below $300 just because xiaomi, vivo and oppo sacrifice rest of phone in favor of 8sg3, D9200 etc ..
