Motorola Edge 50 and Edge 50 Neo hands-on evaluation

Introduction

In the present day Motorola introduced essentially the most compact member of the Edge 50 household this yr, the Edge 50 Neo. The debut coincided with the beginning of the worldwide rollout of the vanilla Edge 50, so we had the possibility to mess around with each of them.

The Edge 50 Neo will be the smallest of the bunch with a 6.36-inch show, nevertheless it sits above the Edge 50 Fusion within the hierarchy. In actual fact, the system gives a powerful function set not only for its dimension, but in addition for the worth it instructions.

Motorola Edge 50 Neo specs at a look:

• Physique: 154.1×71.2×8.1mm, 171g; Gorilla Glas 3 entrance, aluminum body, silicone polymer (eco leather-based) again; IP68 mud/water-resistant (as much as 1.5m for 30 min), MIL-STD-810H compliant*, * doesn’t assure ruggedness or use in excessive situations.

• Connectivity: 5G; eSIM; Twin SIM; Wi-Fi 6e; BT 5.2; NFC.
• Misc: Fingerprint reader (below show, optical); stereo audio system.

The Neo has an 120 Hz LTPO OLED panel with variable refresh fee, a correct triple-camera setup with a devoted 3x zoom lens and quick wired and wi-fi charging. Plus it comes with the comfy 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage in its base model.

In a market with ever fewer compact choices the Motorola Edge 50 Neo shapes as much as be an intriguing alternative with its competent {hardware} and surprisingly aggressive value.
