Motorola Edge 50 Ultra review

Both those models for example in France launched for €1099 for 512gb (12gb+512gb for Xiaomi 14 and 16gb+512gb for Oneplus 12). Both were €100 more expensive for half the storage. Actually, Motorola also has overall the best camera hardware of these 3 but I'd personally still take either of the other 2 for cameras given the video quality on the edge 50 ultra is relatively poor. The Edge 50 ultra also comes with the new Moto buds + which retail for €150. Taking that into consideration the price isn't that bad really

    I’m getting it regardless. The Edge+ 2023 was my favorite phone last year and I would love to see Motorola step up with a stylus on the 2025 flagship. It’s the minimal software support that’s killing the consumer interest on these phones. 5 year support would be on target. A camera kit for $199 would be an awesome addition.

      i love this phone but if i wanna get a throttling SoC than i just get vivo x100s pro for 700 dollars...........welp hard choice

        Pumpino, 07 Jun 2024Apart from the video recordings, the camera performance is ... moreI feel quite split about the whole monthly updates thing.

        Yes, a more expensive phone should warrant more care from the company. On the other hand, given how many issues pop up in Pixels due to the monly commitment, one wonders if giving an update for the sake of meeting a deadline is worth it? Perhaps it's better to prioritise stability, even if it meant a slightly longer time?

        Not taking Motorola's side, but if any company could offer bug free, stable updates, that make things better (not worse, unlike the Poco, Redmi, Realme's of the world), I'd rather wait for a good update every 3 months rather than risk a potentially botched update that was rushed every month.

          im sorry moto but messing up 8sgen3 this hard is just unacceptable...........ill pass this.......edge 40 pro for 400 dollars is my next purchase than

            RaviSS, 07 Jun 2024We have the habit of comparing two chips in terms of differ... moreBut that only keeps in mind CPU performance. GPU performance also got a big boost. Not to mention, 15-20% higher sustained performance is not bad at all. The issue here is that it's an expensive phone with a chip that is not worth that amount of money anymore, there are plenty of good 8 Gen 3 phones at the same price as this one or less.

So many that are practically the same. It's the same formula every time regardless of the brand for those. I'd like to see more phones like this, with a very good but not top chipset and great peripheral specs. There's not so many of those

                            Motorola is still 👑 of the phone market.

Many users seem to place undue emphasis on the processor, and pass their verdict based on whether the processor is best for the price range or not. A phone is more than just its processor, it has a dozen other dimensions which in combination determine the ultimate user experience.

                                Personally, I would take the combination of a upper-mid range processor and good cameras over a high-end processor and average cameras. I can wait 100ms more on a couple of occasions a day, but a bad photo would be a bad photo for lifetime.

                                  a periscope or a Telephoto in the first place,
                                  an useable Ultra wide,
                                  no OIS on front (front cam does not interest me personally),

                                  Reverse wireless charging.
                                  Neither does it have a battery life that is close to the edge 50U even though it's battery is larger.


                                  The Main cam is 140% larger on the Moto.


                                  I'm not buying a phone simply for it's CPU.

                                    Does it have always on display? Of course I mean real AOD, not the 10-second version.

                                      Just over £800 in the UK for this beast. That's a great price for a flagship phone.
