Andres, 10 Jun 2024Putting 68W charging as a con is honestly crazy. Pixels and... moreTo be honest we have a Moto and we don't use the charger that came with it as the phone gets very hot and I don't think it can possibly be good for the internals and battery life. We use a Samsung which is rated alot lower and it doesn't get hot. I don't believe manufacturers when they say heat doesn't do anything to the phone. By shortening it's life they get a new purchase faster leading to more e-waste.

Raghuvarv, 10 Jun 2024I don't understand what Motorola is thinking with the ... moreI was thinking this too. Motorola's offerings are priced very competitively in India, and if you prefer the 'edge' design, these are among the best value-for-money devices you can get.
It's weird that in NA/Europe Motorola is trying to position them as 'premium' devices and hoping that offering high amounts of RAM and Storage would be sufficient.

Strange...
Samsung A55 with 5000 mAh battery charges in 1:03 hours with 25W charger
Motorola 50 Fusion with also 5000 mAh battery charges in 1:04 hours with 68W charger.
something is wrong here. Motorola should be much faster like 40-45 min to full charge.

The only reason I would go for A55 is for its flat screen.

I don't understand what Motorola is thinking with the Edge 50 Pro and 50 Fusion. Both of these sell here in S/SE Asia for much cheaper. The 50 Pro is roughly the same price as the A35 and is a much better device overall (only missing a memory card slot). The 50 Fusion is also a great device for the price and is going for 75% the price of the A35 (and about 60% the price of the A55). That is a fantastic deal for what you're getting with these devices.
But in the EU, North America, and Australia the 50 Pro and Fusion are twice as expensive as Asia. The Pro is more expensive than the A55 and the Fusion is almost comparable. It makes no sense.

It doesn't run too hot thanks to the 1080p resolution ... if it was bigger like the trend nowadays : surely it will run hot as other devices with the same SoC (RN 13 Pro) !

However it has an SD slot and therefore it's with the software updates as well just more worth the price.

They just don't know their own naming scheme at this point and forgot what neo and fusion stood for and mix it up sometimes.

Anyway, €350 is €50 cheaper than the Redmi note 13pro 5g (launched at €400) for the same 8gb 256gb base models. In fact it is the same as the 4g version of the Redmi note 13 pro with the helio g99 ultra (launched at €350). Definitely competetive

Putting 68W charging as a con is honestly crazy. Pixels and Samsungs still charge at 25W. 68W is plenty fast enough for the average consumer. 60% in 30 minutes is very good

40 Neo followed up Edge 40, 40 Ne... moreJust because the Edge 40 Neo came out after the Edge 40 doesn't mean that it was intended to replace it.
The Edge 40 Neo was lower ranged and cheaper than the Edge 40.
Comparing models this year to last year's:
Edge 40 has been replaced by Edge 50 Pro
Edge 40 Pro has been replaced by Edge 50 Ultra
Edge 40 Neo has been replaced by Edge 50 Fusion

Quite nice, but not a real match for the Edge 40 from last year, which is faster (higher test values, and to charge; also has wireless charging) and cheaper - 8/256 for ~€300 at black Friday last year. Although the 50 Fusion has a bigger battery/better battery life, and probably longer SW updates, it won't make me change.

Midrange without SD card and audio jack, it's DOA

This is more like an Edge Neo phone specswise and less like an Edge Fusion phone. Remember, the Edge 30 Fusion came with a SD888+ (flagship), the Edge 40 Neo came with a D7030 (midrange), and now the Edge 50 Fusion has a SD7sG2 (midrange).

The main camera has improved a lot especially in low light and chromatic aberration. Other than that, it looks like a huge downgrade from the edge 30 fusion.
