This garbage of a phone doesn't even have audio jack, no sd card slot, no IPS LCD and the list of missing essential features goes on and on. I bet it doesn't even have IR blaster.
There are many Motorola models that are much better than this trash. Just use the search function here at gsm arena and you will find it. Good luck

    PaxLucis , 20 Oct 2024Another expensive e-waste from Motorola! Hard pass! Next please!e-waste? you gotta be kindding me...

    One of the best moto releases from 20024. Compact, sturdy (Mil-810H certificate), nice design with flat screen, first to announce 5 OS updates, good camera, wireless charge, great battery life....

    If you want raw perfomance with poor OS you can go with a poco....
    Those after a good compact phone will certanly love this neo Edge 50. I know i do!

          PaxLucis , 20 Oct 2024Another expensive e-waste from Motorola! Hard pass! Next please!5 years of support even its its slow security updates are as if not more important than full os updates from 14 to 15. And they have promised the edge 50 neo to get up to android 19.

            anon, 20 Oct 2024Didn't they rate iPhone 16 pretty high despite 60hz an... moreThey gave it 4.0 stars. Which is definitely lower than ratings they've given to other iPhones for quite a while now. It's still not low enough IMO, because it's wholly uncompetitive with other phones in its price bracket and brings almost nothing to the table that the iPhone 12 didn't already have.

              There are plenty of good YouTube tutorials out there that teach u how to do it. Good luck!

                Throw it straight on the landfill!

                  Generaly a good phone for average user. I don't think there's better display at this price range as well.

                        If this phone had a fruit logo on the back, Guaranteed GSMarena would have slapped on 2 additional stars.

                          I've heard lots of bad reviews about laggy camera app on Edge 50 neo. Can someone write more about this? How annoying is it really? Is it region specific or all devices are affected?

                            The night photos are very good. the video as expected is rather underwhelming.

                            i dont understand the point behind benchmark tests anymore. For majority users, they wouldnt even spot a difference between top scorers and lower ones.

                              White balance on the cameras looks too blueish

                                I'm impressed with those battery scores with such a small capacity. The 7300 is underpowered but match it with the LTPO screen and it is pretty decent.

                                  Pretty impressive package for the price, especially in India where it costs just $280 for 8GB/256GB variant.

                                  Of course there would be some deficiencies/shortcomings in a budget phone such as this, but truth be told, we need such devices to get traction and succeed. Currently the sub-$500 smartphone market is saturated with phones with bulky hardware and spammy and bloated software.

                                      Dimensity 7300 can't do 4k 60fps
                                      Other than that it's a solid choice.
