Motorola builds its Edge Neo series smartphones to offer the best deals in the budget-friendly to mid-range price segments. Several models like the 30 Neo and 40 Neo gained popularity. Motorola launched the Edge 50 Neo on August 29, 2024. The phone is currently available in Bangladesh. Let’s look at the features, pros, cons, and price of Motorola Edge Neo 50. Key Specs and Features of Motorola Edge 50 Neo . Design The Motorola Edge 50 Neo’s dimension measures 154.1 mm by 71.2 mm by 8.1 mm, which is more compact than that of its other Edge 50 siblings. However, the design, look, and feel of the phone don’t deviate from the series norm. The immediate competitor, the OnePlus Nord CE4, has a bigger and heavier body but falls short of the look and feel. Instead of using a full flat edgy plastic body, as used in the Nord CE4, the Edge 50 Neo’s back uses a good griper vegan leather. The leather smoothly curves around the edge and blends into the plastic side frame. It ensures a firmer and more comfortable grip.

When held into the hands, it feels unexpectedly leaner, even with a thicker camera mount rooming three lenses and a flashlight on the back. The Edge 50 Neo introduces three color variations– Pantone Nautical Blue, Poinciana, Latte, and Grisaille. The overall build of the phone is sturdy, and certified with IP68 and military-grade durability standards. Though sturdiness is great, ruggedness or use in extreme conditions is not guaranteed by the manufacturing company. Display A 6.4-inch P-OLED display may seem like a shortage in front of the similarly priced competitor OnePlus Nord CE 4’s 6.7-inch fluid AMOLED panel. However, the Edge 50 Neo overcomes this point by featuring a 3000 nits peak brightness level, much higher than the Nord CE 4’s 1100 nits. 50 Neo’s display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Furthermore, implementing an LTPO panel 50 Neo offers a fair deal. Read more: vivo V40 Lite Review: A Stylish Performer or Just Another Mid-Range Option? The 120 Hz refresh rate streamlines the overall touch response by saving energy while scrolling or tapping on the 1256 by 2760 pixels display. The visuals seem crispier for the combined contribution of an HDR10+ system, 1B color projection capacity, and around 474 ppi density. Performance and Software Motorola Edge 50 Neo’s functionalities are run by a 4 nm Mediatek Dimensity 7300 octa-core processor. In terms of the model and capacity, the processor is worth the price, as the Nord CE 4 also uses a 4 nm processor of similar performance. The RAM capacity of 50 Neo ranges from 8 to 12 GB. Starting from 256GB, the internal storage capacity of this phone reaches up to 512 GB supported by UFS mechanism. Unlike the Nord CE, it has no option for enhancing memory with an external memory card. Read more: Tecno Camon 30S Review: Budget-friendly Smartphone with Reliable Features However, the overall capacity of the Edge 50 Neo falls short due to its weaker GPU, Mali-G615 MC2. Consequently, the Nord CE 4 tops the Edge 50 Neo in almost every performance test. High-end games like Pubg and Call of Duty can be played in 50 Neo without lag; the phone still loses to the broader screen size and better graphics of the Nord CE 4 while playing video games. 50 Neo uses the latest Android 14 with Motorola’s Hello UI skin. Close to the stack skin, but more polished, Hello UI is easier to navigate through. However, unlike ancestor phones, Motorola provides 5 OS upgrades and 7 years of security maintenance for the Edge 50 Neo.

The 50 MP (f/1.8) main camera captures detailed shots, while the 13 MP (f/2.2) ultrawide lens offers a wide field of view with minimal distortion, perfect for group shots or scenery. The 10 MP (f/2.0) telephoto lens provides clear 3x zoom without losing detail. In low light situations, its camera holds up well, with noise reduction and improved quality through night mode. The 32 MP (f/2.4) front camera delivers sharp, vibrant selfies in good lighting. Overall, the Edge 50 Neo offers great performance for everyday photography and portrait shots. Both front and rear sensors can capture maximum of 4k footage at 30fps.

And CE4 does not offer a telephoto lens and captures 1080p videos on the front shooter. Battery and Charging 50 Neo’s 4,310 mAh battery is despairing, and once more falls below the market standard. But it’s highly indicative of the phone’s gaming-unfriendly vision. The compact battery, however, contributes to the leaner and lighter design. A TurboPower 68W charger is given for instant battery charging. It complements the power storage capacity. Furthermore, the 15W wireless charging is a bonus for the users. Though the Nord CE4 comes with a stronger battery (5500 mAh) and faster charging (100W) support, it lacks a wireless charging option.

Read more: Vivo V40 Review: A Feature-Packed Premium Smartphone Conclusion Motorola Edge 50 Neo stands out in the mid-range segment with its 68W wired charging, P-OLED display, and IP68 water resistance. Powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 7300 chipset, it offers solid performance but falls short in gaming due to its weaker GPU. The 50 MP main camera and 32 MP front camera deliver impressive photos, while the 4,310 mAh battery may feel limiting. Overall, the Edge 50 Neo is a great choice for users seeking a premium feel and reliable performance without stretching their budget. But gamers should opt for other alternatives like the OnePlus Nord CE 4. Read more: ZTE Blade A35 Review: Top Budget Smartphone for Everyday Use

The Pro lineup from Motorola has been their flagship for quite a few years. Motorola released the Edge 40 Pro last year and the Edge 30 Pro the year before as premium top-of-the-line flagship devices. But this year, the Edge 50 Pro takes an in-between route between a mid-ranger and flagship with the Ultra taking the top spot. The Edge 50 Pro was launched on 8th April 2024 globally as a toned-down version of the Ultra. But as things stand, it might be a better deal than the Ultra for its price. Let’s find out why.  Key Specs of Motorola Edge 50 Pro   Design and Build Quality  Motorola seems to have shifted its priorities on the Edge lineup from being a performance-driven device to a more lifestyle and experience-oriented approach. The Pantone color collaboration, back materials, and AI integration all suggest a shift to a statement piece rather than a performance brick.  The dimensions of the Edge 50 Pro come in at 161.2 mm by 72.4 mm by 8.2 mm with 186 g weight. The aluminum frame adds rigidity to the curving design. However, the back glass has been replaced with eco-leather (polymer) on the 50 Pro.  Read more: Oukitel RT8 Review: Rugged Tablet with Long Battery Life Ports and buttons are all in their usual space with no external card slot or headphone jack. There are several color choices like Luxe Lavender, Black Beauty, Moonlight Pearl, and Vanilla Cream all thanks to the Pantone collaboration. The 50 Pro is also IP68 water and dust-resistant for worry-free use in any situation.  The Display  The display on the Edge 50 Pro is a 6.7-inch P-OLED panel with 1B colors, 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and 2000 nits of peak brightness.  The resolution on the panel comes in at 1220 by 2712 pixels resolution with 446 ppi density. It’s an upgrade over the FHD+ resolution on the Edge 40 Pro.  Read more: Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Review: A Camera-focused Smartphone with Flagship-level Specs The near-edge-to-edge curved panel boasts a 93.8% screen-to-body ratio. Additionally, the display is SGS Low Blue Light, SGS Low Motion Blur, Pantone color & Pantone Skintone certified.  In use, the colors look sharp and vivid with a natural feel. The viewing angles are excellent with great visibility outdoors. It’s a pretty well-rounded display that can easily be considered on par with the Ultra model.  The Camera  There’s a triple-sensor camera system on the Edge 50 Pro. The main sensor is a 50 MP, f/1.4, 25mm wide-angle shooter with PDAF and OIS. The other two sensors are a 10 MP, f/2.0, 67mm telephoto lens and a 13 MP, f/2.2, 120˚, 16mm ultrawide shooter. The front camera is a 50 MP, f/1.9, 21mm shooter. Read more: Top Home Skincare Devices in Bangladesh: Transform Your Beauty Routine The camera system can be considered a bit of a downgrade as the 40 Pro came with a 50 MP ultrawide sensor.  In terms of camera performance, the main sensor does an excellent job of capturing details and contrast. Again, the Pantone profile is fully on display here as the colors look vivid and natural. The super-wide aperture of the main sensor also allows for a natural bokeh on the subject background which blends in nicely with the image. The performance was more or less the same with the ultrawide, telephoto as well as the front camera.  The night photography is also on par with the daytime. The exposure, saturation, and white balance along with the dynamic range were very much flagship-worthy in terms of performance.  Read more: Havit M9030 Pro Review: A Competent Mid-range Smartwatch The videography on the 50 Pro goes up to 4K at 30fps, and 1080P at 30/60/120fps with 10-bit codec and HDR10+ support.  Processor and Performance The processor on the 50 Pro is Qualcomm SM7550-AB Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 based on a 4 Nm architecture. It has a chip design of 1x2.63 GHz Cortex-A715 & 4x2.4 GHz Cortex-A715 & 3x1.8 GHz Cortex-A510 with Adreno 720 GPU.  The processor also takes a hit in terms of performance as last year’s Edge 40 Pro came with the flagship 8 Gen 2 processor. Another drawback is in the storage type as the 50 Pro features UFS 2.2 whereas the 40 Pro comes with UFS 4.0 technology.  Read more: realme GT 6 5G Review: Is It a Flagship Killer? Games like PUBG, COD, Genshin Impact, and Asphalt 9 ran without any hiccups. However, it doesn’t compare with the last generation's performance as it lacks a flagship processor. In its class, the 50 Pro outperforms the alternatives like the Samsung Galaxy A55.  Benchmark  Geekbench 6: 1143 (single core); 3083 (multi core) Antutu 10: 842798 3D Mark Wildlife: 5399 In terms of benchmark scores, the Edge 50 Pro outperforms similar devices with the 7 Gen 3 processor. However, it grossly falls short of the 8 Gen series processors.  Read more: CCTV Camera Buying Guide and Price Ranges in Bangladesh in 2024 Software  The Edge 50 Pro is running on Android 14 with a custom Hello UI (An homage to the iconic Hello Moto! tagline). The UI itself looks more like an AOSP version with some minor in-house tweaks. There is some bloatware but they are neatly arranged on a dedicated shelf. The Moto app also has some useful features like Ready For to easily connect the device to the PC.  Motorola has also committed to 3 years of major software updates and 4 years of security patches.  Battery and Charge Time  The battery on the Edge 50 Pro is 4500 mAh. Motorola has included a 125 W wired TurboPower™charging system on the device. It can take the device to 100% in 18 minutes. There’s also 50 W wireless and 10 W reverse wireless charging available on the device.  Read more: Xiaomi Redmi 13 Review: Does It Carry the Predecessor’s Legacy? Pros and Cons of Motorola Edge 50 Pro  Pros  - Attractive color option with Pantone collaboration - Vibrant display with high refresh rate and brightness- Sleek design with an ultra-slim profile - Eco-leather finish - Stereo speakers with Snapdragon sound- Fast charging with wireless and reverse charging support- Great camera system - Clean and responsive UI - 4 years of major OS update- IP68 water resistance. Cons  - The device heats up during charging - Image processing takes a bit of time - Smaller 4500 mAh battery. Read more: Samsung Galaxy A15 4G Review: An Efficient Budget-friendly Smartphone Price of Motorola Edge 50 Pro  The Edge 50 Pro is available in two storage options, 8/256 GB and 12/256 GB. The official price of the variants is 31,999 INR and 35,999 INR respectively (with discounts). That roughly translates to around 45061 BDT and 50,694 BDT respectively (1 INR = 1.41 BDT).  Verdict  The Motorola Edge 50 Pro is clearly a bridge between a proper mid-range smartphone and the flagship that the 50 Ultra is. The device impresses with its design, display, and camera, being almost on par with the flagship and a tad above any mid-range in its price range.  The processor and the small battery might slightly be a point of contention for some. The 50 Pro is best suited for those looking for a stylish smartphone that offers premium-level performance without really charging you a premium price for the same.  Read more: Top 10 Smartphones Coming in July 2024

However, for some apps, it runs with a 90 to 120Hz refresh rate.

With a maximum of 2.40 GHz of clock speed, its 8-core processor is combined with Adreno 710 GPU.

With 8 to 12 GB RAM capacity, its internal storage ranges from 128 to 512GB. UFS 2.2 data transfer technology has been used in this device. However, at this price range, many competitors are offering higher storage interfaces.

The highest graphics can be played at 30fps while the lowest graphics can run at 60fps. Like any other budget-friendly device, this phone catches some heat during hours of usage and gaming. However, its slick design prevents overheating and throttling issues during gaming.  It can nicely handle multitasking and regular day-to-day tasks. Camera On the rear panel, Edge 50 Fusion holds its prime shooter featuring a 50 MP (f/1.9) wide lens. The secondary rear camera is a 13 MP (f/2.2) 120-degree ultra-wide lens.

There was a time when Motorola was considered the king of flip phones in the early days of mobile tech. Since then, the company has evolved with time and introduced traditional smartphones in the market. Particularly, the Edge series from Motorola has been a hit in the mid-range market. This year Motorola released the updated Edge 40 on 4th May 2023 globally. Here’s a detailed take on the device.  Key Specifications of Motorola Edge 40  Design and Build Quality  The Motorola Edge 40 can be considered an incremental update over the Edge 30. Other than some slight changes in the camera housing, not much has changed from the previous gen.  Users will be getting a front glass, metal frame, and plastic back with the Edge 40. The plastic back is matte frosted to give it a glass-like finish. The matte frost comes in two finishes distinguishing the camera housing from the rest of the back. Users will also get a faux leather option for a more textured and refined hand experience.  Weighing about 5.89 oz (167g- 171g), Motorola Edge 40’s dimensions are 158.4 by 72 by 7.6 mm. This device seems easy to manage with one hand. It comes withIP68 dust and water resistance that can protect up to 1.5m for about 30 min. Read more: Xiaomi Poco F5 Pro 5G Review: What’s new? Motorola has marketed its Edge series as premium mid-range devices. Features like curved edges and near bezel-less display are seen on the Edge 40 which are otherwise reserved for premium flagships.  The choice of ports and buttons hasn’t altered from the last gen. Though the placement of the volume rocker and the power button on the same side and in close proximity will make way for misclicks here and there. This year, there have been changes with the sim placement as well. The Edge 40 will support a single physical sim with the secondary sim being an e-sim option. Overall, the Edge 40 stays true to the Motorola basics. And the tried and tested formula will definitely appeal to long-term fans of the brand. The Display  Being an upper midrange device, the choice of display plays a crucial role to stand out from a host of other options. Thankfully, the Edge 40 understood the drill. The device comes with a 6.55-inches P-OLED display with FHD+ (1080 by 2400 pixels, 20:9 ratio and 402 ppi density) resolution.  Read more: Asus ROG Strix G16 Review: Is it a value for money gaming laptop? The panel supports HDR10+ with a 144 Hz smooth refresh rate. Additionally, there is a 1200 nits HBM on the display for perfect outdoor legibility.  Motorola went all out on the display segment and it played out big time. Using the display is an absolute breeze with smooth touch response and a near-stock Android experience. The color renditions are accurate with slightly warm hues. It can be easily calibrated from the settings to a cooler tone depending on preference. The display is easily the best in its price segment. And if media consumption is the priority, the Edge 40 can be an easy choice.  The Camera  There is a dual camera setup on the Edge 40. It might be considered a step down from the Edge 30 as the previous model had a triple camera setup. However, there is more to it than just the megapixels and number of sensors.  Motorola used an updated 50 MP (f/1.4) main sensor with a larger aperture than the outgoing model. The 13 MP (f/2.2) ultrawide sensor has been upgraded to a 120-degree field of view for those fish eye effect shots.  Read more: Walton Orbit Y21 Review: Budget-friendly phone with a smart look
