[deleted post]When a 5 Year old budget Snap 430 blows the A53, of course a 3 year old high-end 855 is going to do so as well

Apart from 1000 candles, the screen of this Neo (unlike many other competitors with them 70%) covers almost 100% the rgb / dci-p3 color space. Strange that no one has measured the very important value for HDR

Been using my Pixel 3a for 3 years and have had a hard time finding a replacement, but the Edge 30 Neo caught my eye the first time I saw it, so I ordered one.
I've been using it for almost an hour now and wow, I really have to say that I'm quite impressed so far, compact/lightweight, beautiful display, solid fingerprint sensor, fast charging, great sounding speakers (miles ahead of Pixel 6) and handy gestures for different functions!

Well, the compact size in a budget range is everything. Except for the chipset, the rest of the spec is a great balance too.

OneUI is laggy since ever. Try pure Android.

cyber, 07 Oct 2022this phone is priced 430 euro in my country which cant be c... moreAlthough I don't like the 695 Chipset. I do have an Galaxy A53 from my company and it lags much more than even my Old 2017 Snap 430 Moto G5.
Keyboard sometimes takes 5 secounds to respond, other times it's fine. The battery life is surprisingly great, I didn't expect that from an Exynos.
it's still so inconsistent with it's performance.
The last time something did take multiple Secounds to respond was The Galaxy S3 after 2 years, noticing that the max CPU clock speed got capped to 0.2Ghz instead of 1.4Ghz.
The A53 got a decent camera and while there is no 64MP mode, it does use all of them at 2Times zoom, getting the quality of an 2Times 16MP optical.
It's still one of the most uncomfortable phones I have ever used due to it's performance inconsistency. The longest dealy I had so far with this phone was taking around 25 secounds to open the camera from an third party app, for that time, the phone just froze. But then again, 90% of the time it responds directly, the other 10% is prue frustration.

This is a quite decent review in its class. But not class leading.

The ISP is not very good in the snapdragon 695 so don't think it's a great idea to buy any phone with this chip for customers that care about camera performance, especially for anyone that wants good video performance.

Eric20, 08 Oct 2022Some other website says it has GG3.None of Motorola's official websites say 30 Neo has gorilla glass. Whereas it is stated for many of their other models. If so, that is a significant negative for this phone IMO.

Just because the Pixel 6a have better build quality, IP rating, a more powerful chipset, better camera software and better software support doesn't mean it's a better deal, at least not to me, but to each their own.

Aierlan, 08 Oct 2022I agree it's a bit expensive compared to older phones ... moreOh that's my bad. I was looking on Giztop where the 12 is 500 and the 12X has been as low as 400. I don't like MIUI so I would put a custom ROM on it either way. The Edge 30 Neo is still no match for the Pixel 6a even when you consider the price difference. I think the Edge 30 Neo is ok, but it's a bit high for what it is and the camera is way worse than expected.
