@@bradye21playsIndieHorrorThis is not the first time they have done this with an edge device, they did it with the edge 20 or 30, I can't remember which one it was but I have it in my stash of phones somewhere 😁
Dannng I should have waited. I bought the edge 50 pro which is great but not the biggest fan of the curved display, and a little heavier than I'd like. Works great though! Strongly recommend Motorola!
@@TJ-zb1moAnother edge 50 pro user here. I mostly use my phone as a phone but, I do browse a bit of reddit, watch stuff on YT, play music through Spotify and probably get about two days. Although, I recently used it with Android Auto on holiday and that would take quite a bit of juice. I probably still got a day out of it.
Seriously considering this one, I've been very pleased with my Edge 40 neo based on your review last year. The improved camera is the clincher for me. The smaller battery is the only downside.
After 3 weeks of using this device.... Speaker 🔊 nd device gets vibrate for high volume..but audio quality is good.. Lagging while taking photos... Remaining everything is good... First impression is display. I loved it. And fast charging is another positive.. camera photos and videos are really good. Device Look is ultimate, weightless.. and a compact device... I like the Stock Android.. no ads. Worth in this price range...
Despite "spaffing" out soo many devices, Motorola seem to have gotten their shit together, because they've put out some really solid devices. Good on them. If they up the OS and security updates on some of their mid-tier and high-end devices, they'll be even more competitive.
@@KoalaBeer. I have a relatively small hand, so I don't like the usual sizes of the phones nowadays, but it's just feels the right size for me. Still can't reach every corner of the screen with one hand, but it's ok. Fits right into my pocket, im satisfied with the dimensions.
Damn... I may get it!! 5 years OS updates, LTPO 6.4'' screen! Plus with Mediatek Dimensity 7300, very decent camera and on top of that, pretty much stock Android. This is probably best pick for my use case.
I'm actually impressed. Considering it's reasonable price, this is the kind of device I might go for . I never splash out on high end devices , although I can afford them . This device does everything I need 😊
@@marksouthwell4490 Same here, I also never pay that much money for high end because they are totally overspecced for my use. I really don't mind a smaller battery and FLAT screen. Finally they made a flat screen because I got really fed up at curved screens!. At around 400 pounds? O yes, I take it! 😆 It offers way too much for the price.
@@simonphillips9082 Watching from Edge 40 as well and sick of curved screen but the SoC is not in par with the price but from the review seems capable specially for thermals in hot countries
Excellent review, thanks for informing and supporting the community , laughs always appreciated ! Looking forward to the update of your video from 3 months ago to see what to purchase next.
Got it for a week now, absolutely love it. Feels great to use, very light, superb screen, very good pictures, amazing battery life. It's definitely going to replace my crappy exynos s24.
Think I've just found the replacement for my 2020 OnePlus Nord. Love the compact size of the Edge 50 Neo, IP rating, stereo speakers, camera performance (those pictures look nice and vibrant) and range of colours. Waiting for the expected price drop on Amazon, as is usual with Motorola phones. Then I'll order the red version, to replace my Nord.
I guess Motorola confused themselves. This phone was supposed to be G85, and only by the look of it - G85 was supposed to be Edge 50 neo. Ofcs if you follow the logic that the Edge lineup phones would have had curved edges.
remember the days oneplus also included a case (and a fastcharger), o how times have changed, a case should always be included imho, I like the branded ones the most
Great video again! Trying to weight this against Google Pixel 8 now... Current pricing is about the same, and I'm looking to replace my old Pixel 4a. The most important features for me are 1. ability to use it one-handed, 2. cameras, as I use it for product photography and vlogging, 3. battery life. Which one of these alternatives you'd recommend?
@@dario7810 Thanks, those figures tell me little, but confirms what I already assumed about the cameras. However, I can't find Pixel 8 anywhere in EU under 500, even refurbished ones are 550 to 600 with 128GB.
The Edge 50 has 5000 mah battery and a bigger display, and it's just 10 grams heavier so I think that a larger battery could have been possible They might have ran into some problems in design or the size but I hope that the 4300 mah battery doesn't degrade much in 5 years Normally, phones usually get about 250 charging cycles in a year and about 500 to 1000 charging cycles are expected to degrade the battery health to about 80% of it's original capacity i.e a 6000 mah phone would have a capacity of about 5000 mah after 2 years of usage There are exceptions like my Redmi Note 7 pro with just 4000 mah battery which still has similar battery life after 5 years Although it varies from phone to phone, but lower batter capacity does decides how long it can last in the future.
Dear god man, how hammered did you get the night before this review? Lol. You looked in pain. FYI, the red is pronounced Pon-see-anna. It’s an Australian and SE Asian tree that has, you guessed it, reddish-orange flowers. The grey is Greez-eye. It’s a monotone underpainting that artists use in their works. Love your reviews anyway. Definitely considering getting the 50 Neo.
I always had the Moto G's, and Moto Style, then Lenovo came along and did Motorola dirty. I moved to Pixel 4a after getting the Moto G8 power that got about 1 Android update before not getting any support. I'm still rocking the Pixel 4a (I like smaller phones), and although I have always stuck to mid-range...I pre-ordered a Pixel 9 Pro. Now, after seeing this and finding out about 5 OS updates etc, I really am thinking of cancelling my 9 Pro order!
How did you get monochrome color option in this phone, even one youtuber GyanTherapy got this on Edge 50 Fusion. But not in any customer unit i have found that color option. Please give clarity on this
@@rlan55 no thats grayscale, itll make whole screen grey. Im talking about monochrome accent color which got added in android 14 as a basic color option along with wallpaper color. And moto still doesn't provide it but ive seen that on some youtubers units. Anyways maybe they are using colorblendr to tweak that as officially it isn't provided by moto
@techspurt please tell me where do you get all the anime waifu wallpapers. I've noticed them in almost all of your videos, so do tell me where do you get them from. Thankyou
This on paper was a perfect phone for me , good specs good price , i guess you get what you pay for , £329 after discount isnt bad but i will say this phone has major lag problems especially in camera app, messages app takes while to load even keyboard sounds aren't in sync sometimes lol fingerprint scanner is slow if your used to flagship performance you will be disappointed, i will give it a 6/10
I will get this one tomorrow. Unfortunately, my edge 50 Fusion did not survive after it was fallen on the concrete ground....5 weeks...fxxx anyway, smaller and flat will be better

Only 170 grams is a big selling point to me, most phones are 190gms + these days, far too heavy.

I will be honest I still think Motorola still make fantastic phones 📱📱
Which one is better for buying like Neo or pro
Honestly it looks great in every aspect expect for the battery life

Ddr4 ram and ufs 2.1. No expandable storage if I'm not wrong
