You forgot to put more emphasis on the fact that it's also IP68 dust and water protected just like the big players. It even has MIL-STD 810H toughness certified and also wireless charging (15W) which is unheard of in this price range. Using this currently and I am thoroughly impressed. So much for so less 💵 I have had many people asking what phone im using after seeing the pictures I post (I hv to agree with you... pictures are a little high on the processing and not the most natural but extremely pleasant and popping for screens and social media.) The processor is not the best out there but surprisingly it runs so cool even after 45 mins of heavy gaming.
Small form factor, fast charging, bright screen with high ppi, telephoto lens, good macro shots, non Samsung. Perfect for me! Unfortunately not available in the USA, so I ordered from India on ebay. Only $350usd.
Does it play music well? I was thinking mostly of windows media player files but also i Phone/ i Tunes music files now as someone mentioned they were having issues with vid files he transferred from his i phone? thinking of buying one so super curious about the WMP files after a review of a Samsung I was thinking of buying said it wouldn't play WMP files. Thanks 🙂
Bought this recently and i must say I'm impressed with the cameras! My only gripe is I need to out the settings to medium or low when playing intensive games.
Very good review, thanks for making this! I'm shopping for new smartphone, to replace my old and dying Pixel 4a (4G). I already bought a Pixel 8 couple of weeks ago, but I was somewhat disappointed with it... It's not very compact, it's slippery as crazy to hold and the final nail in the coffin was the call quality: every time I spoke on the phone, the recipient had hard time comprehending me. I had to send the Pixel 8 back to the shop. So, now I'm pitting this Edge 50 Neo against Pixel 8a. The 8a has probably better camera, and it's about 100€ cheaper at the moment in my country, but it's also a bit too bulky for my liking and I fear the microphone issue may repeat in that model too, as it's mostly using same chipset as the standard 8. How does the call quality fare in this Edge 50 Neo? And how's the vibration? I could hardy feel it in Pixel 8 if I had the device in my pocket.
I have to admit that I don't actually make many phone calls, so I can't really answer your question. The vibration motor on the other hand is very good!
The 12gb of ram helps great 9 times out 10 a phone lags because of ram limitations the SoC needs to be diabolically bad for it to lag out regularly with 12gb of ram.
@@gamrroyale5928There are many comparison videos on YT just check...if curved and 6.7 big display (also 12gb ram) is the requirement then go with fusion if not edge 50 neo is an all-round phone but strictly not for gamer at 21k INR which is around 250usd in india it is a great buy.....a tip.... Xiaomi 14 tempered glass is a perfect fit for this mobile as it is a new model we yet to see proper TG in market
I bought this phone! But the issue that bothers me the most is the videos that I imported from my iphone, doesn't matter which player I use to play those videos it has extreme stuttering or frame drop in those videos! Have anyone experienced this issue?
Does it play music well? I was think more windows media player files but also i Phone and i Tunes music files now that you mentioned issues with vid files?

No phone is perfect, apple and samsung flagships are almost there, but never came top, same here, positive: good android skin, nice compact build sleek design,best display for the money, Negative: Average speakers, poor camera
Was that a 3G network phone? I got that issues with a shitty 3G phone and telsa/ aldi turning their 3G network off and now my shitty phone don't work no more. Thought I might as well upgrade a bit🤷♂😂
But it's still in completion because display helps to preserve battery and at that price range only moto providing 15w wireless charger that is flagship features. So if plan is to to binge show wireless charging stand will be awesome
well you obviously did not used 40 neo. It would be second Motorola you can recommend. I amusing 40 neoo almost a year and I work in a copper mine. It fell off numerous times, wet, moisture, dust. It works as a first day.

You will not get any warranty on that
@shreyank4087 never used any phone warranty. Not in 40 years.
Wish it were a bit more smaller somewhere around 6.1" I wouldve preferred to buy it 😢
@@asteryt5277 6.1 is too small for me. Becomes hard to type and content is small.
@@asteryt5277 well then battery wouldn't have been as good.
You can use pro mode and put it on raw+jpg and it looks more natural

Agreed there, not the best for gamers, but the performance is good enough for other activities

This one or the Razr 40? 🎉
Definitely the 50 if you can afford it!

Actually the Photos look kinda nice, you got a nice eye for them lol. Crazy cam for that budget
great photos technically, but I'm still not a fan of the processing
notaste que calienta mucho el celular?
Can you compare this phone with moto edge 50 fusion
don't have access to one at the moment I'm afraid
@@DavisFangTech can you do it if you get your hands on that phone

are there problems with PWM flickering here, does it hurt the eyes??
I didn’t personally have any issues, but I do know that some people are more sensitive than I am
In Denmark you do not receive with charger
now that is disappointing!

Why do you say the camera is poor? The Sony sensor equipping it (Sony LYTIA 700C) seems to get great reviews in general.
here because optus switched my shit off cheers
Was that a 3G network phone?

@@28russ yeah i dont like to chase phones my shit from 2012 was working fine till they switched off 3g lol
the gray looks the best, cant stand the coloured ones
it looks smart, but I do prefer a bit of colour!
I got the edge 50 neo for 279 dollars in india
that's astonishing value
That background music is quite annoying
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll try to look for some new songs for future videos
4310mAh no thanks!

True, the last one I used was the one of the Edge 30 devices and while it was good, there were a few notable absent features
