you didn't even test the phone or anything, you have no idea how it runs, and if you want an LCD and a headphone jack just get anything that's really cheap
we moved past these points, for better or worse

      If you don't like OLED, don't buy any device with an OLED screen. Just stick to buying mediocre entry-level and lower-midrange phones with IPS LCD screens, bro.

        While I can understand that, I still think he has no business calling OLED "crap" for that reason alone, especially when manufacturers like Motorola, Honor, and Xiaomi are now adding DC dimming for their devices.

        I never had any headaches with OLED because I always keep the brightness above 70%, I don't often use my phone in the dark, and I don't tend to stare at my phone for hours without end.

              Not only this impersonator is a barely compact (it's a small phone of the current year), but it packs less battery, than the device released 8 years ago, which is only a marginally bigger than this abonimation.

I am mad at the phone manufacturers for shoving so much mediocre OLED tech down our throats. I guess it's cheaper to mass produce OLED compared to the excellent IPS LCD tech.

                  For instance TFT LCD is just as bad as OLED. But IPS LCD will always win hands down in every single comparison versus OLED.
                  Mark these words.

                      And in terms of motion he could've brought up Plasma or CRT displays. But nope, he's delusional enough to think LCDs are better. crazyyyy

                          And the fact he thinks OLED screens are trash compared to IPS LCD is just hilarious.

                                Been using this phone for about 2 months. I am a heavy business user (Outlook, Office, plenty of video and voice calls). Need a good camera for private purposes as well (mainly for stills, almost no videos). Do not play games at all. Switched from S23. Was looking for reasonably sized device, money wasn't an issue. Tested against S24, Xiaomi 14, 14T Pro, Flip 6, etc. before the final purchase. My decision was based on: 1. By far the best display of the tested phones. 2. Speaker quality (very loud if needed, reasonable sound quality). 3. Battery endurance (totally different universe to S23/24, for example). 4. Camera quality (I like the processing in most of the situations, to compare Samsung processing is too soft and too much noise all around). 5. Clean Android (plus I got already two updates within the 2 months). What I do not like? 1. Camera lag (despite not being big, it can cause issues in some situations, solution is to take multiple shots and choose the right one later). 2. Slower processor (things happen fragments of the seconds slower then on high-end machines, not a big issue in real life though). Other points. 1. Build is really solid (I do not care if it is plastic or titan or so, it just feels perfectly ok). 2. No overheating at all. 3. Fast charging (although you do not really need it).

                                  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

                                    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!
