New Motorola Edge
Compact rugged Edge 50 Neo
Motorola has expanded its smartphone lineup with the introduction of the new Edge 50 Neo. This compact device is highly durable, meeting IP68 and MIL-STD 810H standards. Despite its modest dimensions (154.1 x 71.2 x 8.1 mm) and weight of only 171 g, the device has impressive characteristics.
The smartphone is equipped with a 6.4-inch OLED LTPO screen with Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The display brightness reaches 3000 nits, and protection is provided by Gorilla Glass 3. Performance is provided by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, complemented by 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 256 or 512 GB of internal storage.
Cameras and battery life
Edge 50 Neo is equipped with a triple main camera: a main 50-megapixel module with a Sony LYTIA 700C sensor and optical stabilization, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens with autofocus and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and OIS. The front camera has a resolution of 32 MP. Motorola uses its proprietary AI image processing algorithm, moto ai, to improve the quality of photos and videos.
The 4,310 mAh battery supports 68W TurboPower fast wired charging and 15W wireless charging. The kit includes a 68W charger and a case.
Edge 50 Global Launch
In parallel with the announcement of the Edge 50 Neo, Motorola announced the start of international sales of the Edge 50. This smartphone also has IP68 protection and MIL-STD 810H certification, but features a large 6.67-inch OLED display and a 5000 mAh battery. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition processor. Memory and camera configurations are identical to the Edge 50 Neo.

The Motorola Edge 50 Neo is already available in select European countries, starting at €499. Buyers can choose from four color options with a vegan leather back panel. Motorola Edge 50 starts at 599 euros.

Wow, Motorola never ceases to amaze! Edge 50 Neo looks very interesting. Compact, with IP68 protection and military standard. And the screen brightness of 3000 nits is absolutely space! 🚀
Hans
Yes, Olivia, the characteristics are impressive! Especially the camera with the Sony LYTIA 700C sensor and OIS. I wonder how it will show itself in practice? 📸
Sophia
I was most interested in the 68W TurboPower fast charging. You can charge your phone in just a few minutes! There is also a wireless one. Comfortable! ⚡
Carlos
And I like that they added a telephoto module with 3x optical zoom. This is a really useful thing for amateur photographers like me! 🤳
Giuseppe
Give it up. Another expensive brick. Why is this IP68 protection needed? Is it because of the rain? And the military standard is complete nonsense. Who needs this in everyday life? Throw your money away.
Sophia
Giuseppe, don't be such a pessimist! IP68 protection is very useful. I recently dropped my phone in the pool, and if it weren’t for the water protection, I would have had to buy a new one. 💦
Olivia
But I think that the price of 499 euros is quite adequate for such characteristics. Especially considering that the kit comes with a powerful charger and a case. Not a bad bonus! 💰
Hans
I agree with Olivia. Plus, this moto ai image processing engine sounds promising. If it really is as good as they claim, then this could be a serious advantage over its competitors. 🤔
