Motorola Edge 30 Neo review

07 October 2022


Sort by:

I disagree with the 4* rating, it is a balanced phone with brighter display than some flagships and accurate colors, good camera sensors, and not 8 MP and 2 MP trashes, USB 3.1 with "Ready For" and wireless charging, great battery life for it's size.
This phone is 400€ in my country, the same price as the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G when it launched, same chipset and memory option, the Motorola is much more appealing.
You guys compared it to phones that already had price cuts.
I hope Motorola will eat all Xiaomi market shares, getting tired of their trashes.

    tri, 07 Oct 2022How much is the difference though? That's the problem.... more695 is almost as strong as 845.
    That is not weak.

      Dan, 07 Oct 2022Strange, I'n my country is opposite. Motorola $380 and... morePeople here instead to compare initial price, they compare phone recently announced against one from february/march that in many places are now cheaper or even used but sold as new ...

        I find it a bit strange that the battery/charging section of the review doesn't even mention the wireless charging... only refers to it briefly in the verdict. In the software section it also lists the "power touch" gesture... I have an EU model but no such feature (there is a "double tap on the back" however)... are these moto gestures region specific? Lastly, I have tested the "ready for" connection with a USB-C to HDMI cable but no luck... only wireless connection worked... maybe I need a special cable. Still not clear though whether the USB port is 3.1 or just 2.0... any comments on that?

                The way this website talks about 695 , you may think it has similar power of SD430. .
                When it has more power than 750.

                It has some nasty downgrandes compared to 690, but it is not weak chipset.

                    Cmon Motorola .. i want Fusion with 8100 chipset or something like that + 5000 battery.

                      Not bad, but lack of 4K video(SD695's fault as it lacks the ISP) means many might give it a miss when there are other alternatives at similar price points that offer 4K video capture.

                        this phone is priced 430 euro in my country which cant be called affordable, a53 is a 100 euro cheaper and better,even phones with snapdragon 750 are more faster,hardly any surprise but its not worth it

                          Been using it.for three weeks. Awesome device. Love the ui.

                            Interesting comment about Android 14 - many other sources are claiming Motorola promises two major updates + 3 years of security updates. Could you please check that with Moto?

                              could have been perfect but the small battery and the absence sd card - jack, I don't look at it

                                Please don't review anymore Snapdragon 695 devices. No one cares

                                      I had the phone a week ago when I returned it I read about a great bright screen with color accuracy compared to other phones e.g. honor 50, xiaomi note 10s it was way behind in both brightness and color performance the white itself was towards blue performance and this the performance of the screen was also visible in the photographic part

                                        Same price in the UK 🇬🇧 as Google Pixel 6a right now? Umm, no thanks.

                                        However it's a pretty phone, compact, lovely screen. Just needs a better processor...

                                        Thanks for the review!
