Motorola Edge 50 Pro review

16 April 2024

Also, I'd have loved to get a wifi 7 and ufs 4.0, but we can't get those on any chipset below snap 8 gen 2. An LTPO would have been a treat too.

That said, this is indeed the highest end phone you can get in India at this price (with a stock Android!)

    Also, the display protection is Gorilla Glass 5, according to Flipkart (Indian website similar to Amazon, which is also the only official 3rd party website authorised to sell the edge 50 pro)

    P.S: Flipkart doesn't mention the gorilla glass 5 in the specs, but you can see the mention in one of the advertised images of the product in the gallery on the same Flipkart page. (The advertisement was very likely made by the motorola guys and not by Flipkart itself)

      Anonymous, 19 Apr 2024According to motorola UK website, it says Fusion has lpdd... moreLpddr4x indeed. Also, the display is LTPS (not LTPO) just like gsm reviewed. Also its "UFS 2.2c" (not UFS 2.2), probably some sort of moto-modified variant of 2.2, hence explaining the 3.1 like speeds in test results of reviewers.

      Still a great phone at this price (in India) for people who want good specs with stock Android. Any other phone in the same price range that outdoes this one in specs, would be turned down either by it's IP rating or by it's OS (which would very likely be some custom UI (instead of stock Android) with a bootloader that would be impossible to unlock)

        Anonymous, 24 Apr 2024May I ask which phone you are using right now? I'm als... moreI have an oppo find x5, personally other than the huawei p40 pro and galaxy s7 edge/huawei mate 10 pro, favourite phone of all time. Its haptic feedback is great, screen is enjoyable to use, hasnt failed me using dual sim with 5g concurrently at the same time, has great little shortcuts for flashlight, apps etc, google assistant only responds to my voice (dont know if all phones do this), have 360° NFC, my phone will hide notifications if im not directly looking at the screen (will hide infomation in popdown notifications unless im looking at the screen). So many other great festures too (i could go on for literal hours), before mt ex stole my charger i never worried about battery, 10 mins while having a shower, batter goes from 30%-80% easy, do you the day unless you're like me who literally uses your phone as a PC/laptop (can be using power saving and under 20% after a day but i do create music on my phone, run emulators, have 20+ apps running, web browser has about 80-90 tabs open, i have a vpn on and avast security, use tidal and youtube pretty much all day everyday plus edit worksheets and create flyers for my mates business on it.)

        Also one of the nicest feeling and looking backs on the market in the black colour.

        Dont get me wrong their will be better, I'd probably get a find x5 pro over this, maybe some motorola devices or some decent xioamis but personally and honestly, i couldnt recommend this device more if i tried (if a device is good, ill honestly say it like the gakaxy note 9 and galaxy s3 and s7 edge, i just love this phone)

            As I use Edge 30 Pro before, all I can say is "Don't buy Moto phone". Ton of bugs after upgrade to Android 13 and no news for upgrade to Android 14 (They promise to upgrade to 14). Slowest update ever. No bug fix for year. Just security update every 2 months as they promise. They only care customer in China, not global. The real Moto is dead.

              Why mention the near useless > 60 refresh rate and not mention that fast charging will destroy the battery much faster.

                  Bob, 21 Apr 2024Yes, why 3.5mm stereo jack was removed from all ot the phonesBecause Apple demonstrated that manufacturers can sell millions of phones and increase revenue each year, even if they remove components from their phones, and then, the rest of manufacturers realized they can sell millions and save some money by removing the headphone jack and sd card slot.

                          You need to stop judging the new launched phones against the MSRP because that price is not realistic! Leave the price aside for the market to form! Evaluate the phone, its functions, performance, quality of work, etc., and don't take the price into account because you don't know what price will be formed from market to market. The differences can be 100-200-300 euros, and then what?!

                                        The battery capacity is too small 4500 mAh in 2024 even if you want it to charge in 18min it's a NO NO. This phone was almost perfect except for the battery🔋
