Motorola Edge 50 Neo Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
8.0/10
Verdict
The Edge 50 Neo demonstrates that smartphones with premium features can exist without a premium price tag. Whether it is the clean Android OS or the telephoto camera, the Edge 50 offers plenty of versatility. The Dimensity 7300 SoC under the hood equally provides respectable juice for smooth usage. Having said that, the Edge 50 Neo could improve in video recording. For gaming, it offers adequate performance, but the Infinix GT 20 Pro remains our top recommendation.
Pros
- Compact build
- Vivid display
- Telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom
- Clean Android OS
Cons
- Video recording needs improvements
- Dated Gorilla Glass 3 protection
Design and display
+
Based on the design, the Edge 50 Neo looks similar to its siblings from the Edge 50 series with a leather back donning Pantone-validated colours. The former has become quite common among Motorola smartphones and competitors in this range. However, that doesn't mean the Edge 50 Neo looks poor by any metric, as the slender design and curved edge offer a premium look and feel.

Cameras are the key focus of the Edge 50 Neo, and you can find more details in our dedicated camera review, where I compared the performance against the Nord CE4, Realme P2 Pro, and Edge 50 Fusion.

Performance and software
+
The Motorola Edge 50 Neo comes in a single 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant for Rs 23,999. To maintain an aggressive price tag, it utilises LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 standards, though most of its competitors have started offering UFS 3.1 storage.

Battery and charging
+
The Edge 50 Neo packs a 4,310mAh battery instead of the standard 5,000mAh battery available on most smartphones in the segment. The smaller battery capacity is due to the compact design, and any bigger would've led to increased weight and thickness, which Motorola has avoided.
