Motorola Edge 50 Ultra review

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

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.

                              no OIS on front (front cam does not interest me personally),

                              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.

                                      Anonymous, 07 Jun 2024"8 Gen" includes multiple chips now. This one is ... moreWe have the habit of comparing two chips in terms of differences in peak performances, because most benchmarks provide us only that information, but that is not the correct way to look at it, especially for high-end chips.

                                      Let's compare 8G3 vs 8G2. While 8G3 has 30-35% higher peak performance when compared to 8G2, it also consumes 30-35% more power at peak performance. And the peak power consumption for both the processors is well above the heat dissipation capacity of modern smartphones.

                                      A more relevant metric would be to see the performance increases at the same power consumption and 8G3 performs yields around 15-20% more performance at the same power (in 2-6 watt range). In other words, if you put a 8G3 in place of a 8G2, the sustained peak performance would be only 15-20% higher. Of course, the performance gap is still considerable, but not as huge as what it seems when you just look at the peak performance.

                                        JimmyTheGreatest, 07 Jun 2024I prefer to use half the asked price to buy the F6, and the... moreThe remaining money you have won't buy you a dedicated camera that will do as much as as the Moto.

                                        And if you want a compact camera for that price, you end up with an tiny 1/2.3 Sensor.

                                        Larger camera menas it's not something you always want to carry around.
