Just got Android 13 yesterday on my neo and it seems like a very bug free version after testing it for a day. All in all it is one of the best phones i ever had. No stupid glass back. Very light and thin design. This is one of the only phones on the markets that really suits me needs. And it's just 260 bucks in germany right now.
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it. I must admit I thought it was a great phone and I loved that 120hz display. And no POINTLESS cameras on the back, just useful ones, that's always a plus!
Completely agreed, I've been using mine since June as backup phone (also used as primary for a month). I like it, an underdog smartphone which does all tasks very well. I'm a little bit concerned by the battery life, I think it was better on Android 12. You can confirm?
I think chapter headings would be really helpful in this video And I think you need a lapel mic as the audio together with music is really hard to follow. I have to strain
My S20+ was very well capable and I´m very careful but I got the Infame Samsung green line. I´m done with Samsung. Just got one of those 30 neo. Afordable, good size, GREAT screen. My only complain is this shuter lag. Compared to the S20 is slower, but meageable. All the other is the same or better. Screen brightess under the sun is very good as res and refresh rate.
Nice! I think in the case of some of the more budget phones shutter lag will happen. The processor in the S20+ is still flagship enough to not slow down just yet! But I thought the 30 Neo was a decent phone for the money, and a nice colour too!
I love this thing. Amazing screen, superb audio, great pictures, super light and thin, I love the more normal size of the phone itself. I have my text set to very small so the screen can display a lot, and thanks to the great screen it's all clearly visible and readable. Only 270 euros is a steal for this phone. It does everything so well that I really have no idea what more you'd want or why you'd ever buy a phone four times the price. 10/10 from me.
@@VI7I0N I wouldn't wait too long. They're selling really fast, I got the last one at North Lakes. At $299 they're a steal. The easiest way to describe this phone: It's a Goldilocks phone.
@@VI7I0N I am very happy with it. The 68 watt turbo charger that comes with it will take it from flat to 100% in just 40 mins. Works quickly and smoothly. Haven't used the camera yet.
@@gerrymarlowe5541 yeh i checked it out the other day, defo worth $300 but my god the camera is very bad hahaha. otherwise its a very snappy, sharp phone
Hey, Ive recently gotten this phone and have been loving it but unfortunately i cracked the screen a month into use (the crack went thru the screen protector). Anyone know the cheapest way to get a repair in Aus because a lot of the repairs are half or almost the same price i purchased the phone 😊
Hi. Is it okay that there will be a security update for a short time? I don't want to buy another phone for 2-3 years. Others say they are hacked if there are no security updates. Another question: Still no Android 13 update in Motorola edge 30 neo?
As far as I know, the Motorola Edge 30 Neo only gets software updates for 2 years. I'm thinking about buying it, but I'm not entirely sure because it's almost 1.5 years old. How much could this affect the long term usefulness of the phone? Do you still recommend this purchase? Is there possibly another phone with a similar compact size in a similar price range? Sorry for the long question. :)
I also been thinking about it. But, for me, for that budget, only this model is the best compact phone this time around. Now, I'm waiting for it to be delivered.
Just purchased this and been messing about it with it solid for 2 days. Battery life is great. The only niggle for me, if you can call it that, is getting used to the on-screen fingerprint detector, after 3 years of using a rear mounted one. Overall this is great phone, especially if you can buy it discounted.
Glad to see that you got some sponsorships going on like in some older videos of yours like Casekoo and all that-Hope that you get loads and loads of sponsor's-I am a little bit curious about wanting to know about your favourite tech company of all time;And which company you want to get sponsored by in future? And which TH-cam tech channel is your favourite? 😁..
Thank you! Maybe Motorola in the future would be nice, I did a lot of videos on those in the beginning. Would like to get back to doing more! My favourite channels i watch are MKBHD and Pocketnow, but I watch a few others as well. Thanks again!
@@ashdoestech cool I love motorola as well infact I have owned quite a lot of them😂 and I would love to see you do a review on the latest moto edge 40 it has been recently launched in India at a killer price btw I also watch mkbhd and Pocketnow as well i also watch techchap Gsmarena and Spawnpoint(for game related content and monitors and stuff like that as well)and some other channels as well-but my favourite channel has to be yours😁Keep up the good work cant wait for your next video............
@@ashdoestech What I find frustrating with Motorola is the vastly different specs that seem quite random so you never quite get the phone you want, I've seen reviews that say the G22 camera is better than more expensive Motos or you'll get a £200 Motorola with an inferior screen to cheaper models. Classic example right now is the G33 and G53 which I read a review on,reviewer said there are a few quite odd differences and if the best features of both phones were combined the result would be exceptional,rather than 2 similar but differently flawed devices. I think the newer ones are more flimsy as well,currently using my old G8 Power and that thing is solid, quite a few complaints about reliability from customer reviews on Argos etc when Motorola always had a reputation for being a bit dull but built to last.
I agree, I did a video ages ago on how confusing Motorola phones were and it’s still the case. Classic example now is the G52 to G53. The latter loses the 1080p display to 720p, it’s LCD over AMOLED, loses the ultra wide camera and has a lower res selfie camera. It’s clearly not an upgrade yet they continue to do it, very frustrating!
The only good thing is display quality and dimension. Processor and camera are horrible . Video are not stabilized cause lack of grafic by cpu, also recording is at only 60 fps 1080p not 4k .. Motorola is making many unuseful devices at low price you can understand why.. Assistance is nowhere .
@@ispolivaniparadajz Yes, but no 4k video.. I ve hot an honor 9 from 2017 it s 5.1 ips fhd with kirin 960 (4g) but it is4k videos (30fps).. Why Motorola in 2022 isn t yet? Also memories are ufs 2.1.. Little bit slower.
@@ispolivaniparadajz i m not interested in what You car about, just want to say that Motorola isn t that much, their commercial strategy is ridicolus they do not update their phones also after an year.. 🤣

@@ashdoestech Cool Review! LOve the Light Notification. But I heard it does not stay on until you dismiss it?
didnt mention the usb c display out with smart connect or ready for feature. please do TY
I hope to buy Neo 30 today for $299 in Australia on special at JB Hi-Fi. Will buy a little adaptor so I can keep using my wired headphones.
What are your thoughts on it mate, thinking of picking it up for the $300 too

If you like humour thrown into your revues, Tech Spurt is brilliant, along with great reviews. You can't beat British humour.
nice phone，could you review tcl 40r 5g
great review ash..can ya review how the mi 11i hypercharge holds to 2023
standards
Might be a bit above my budget at the moment 😬😬
This or Samsung galaxy a34? Neo is 250 euros and a34 300. I really like the small(ish) size of the neo.
To be honest both are great. I really liked the Edge 30 Neo, and definitely a great size!
Ash!..ThanksMuch!..
I'm still stuck on android 12 December 2022 patch
I couldnt wait, and ended up using the rescue and smart assistant to update! @KoalaBeer.
I suggest you don't have music playing when you're doing your v/o.
I definitely say "Motorola Edge 30 Neo" way too much in this video, before anyone says 😂
No micro SD card port so not good for me i have over 1000 songs, where am i going to put them
All plastic as if it's a drawback. Let's buy a phone made entirely of glass, then put a case on it!! Mint.
This.
Exactly. Just upgraded to this phone from the plastic Moto G8 plus. 3 years old, kept in a wallet and completely scratch free.
I belong to the group of handy people, so thankfully no case is needed..
Nice bro ❤
Thanks!
Light the ring 😅
