Der Geheimtipp 2024?! Moto Edge 50 Pro (review)

Hi guys, I test about 20 smartphones a year and have been doing so for many years, which means that even before I have a device in my hand, I already have a rough idea of ​​what it will be good for and for what. It won't be as good, but the Moto ED50 Pro has completely changed that feeling, this smartphone swims directly against the tide, all the things I thought wouldn't be so good were actually spectacularly good and all the things I expected. I'd like to have some unexpected problems here and there. I think this smartphone will really like the width dimensions and is the ultimate underdog.

When I unpacked the Moto Edge 50 pro, I first had to accept the design, this back looks like this. chipped marble or mother-of-pearl Unique, it doesn't exactly suit my taste, but my girlfriend and her friends showered it with praise. It's actually handmade in Italy by the same company that makes sunglasses for Gucci or. Prada It is also available in black and lavender with artificial leather, when you open the package you can smell a perfume, yes, Motorola perfumes its smartphones and drum roll please, it is a power adapter included in the shipment and not just any one, if not more.

I'll talk about that in a moment. The next thing I noticed is that the Edge 50 pro is relatively thin. At a time when the competition is getting thicker, one thing I like to see and feel even better, it's just nice and I like that too. the back is very discreetly connected to the camera, as if there is a film stretched there; It's a nice feeling and it doesn't get dirty as quickly. The device is lighter than average and waterproof for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 m. The screen is large at 6.7 inches, like most current smartphones, it has a resolution between Quad HD and Full HD.

Motorola calls it super HD Plus, it's a good compromise between sharpness and efficiency, similar to the iPhone 15 pro Max and just like there, the maximum brightness here is 2000 Nitz. The screen looks very good. It is accurately color calibrated by Panton. It has fairly thin

s on the outside and a subtle curvature on the sides. But I think the best thing is that it's not like that. i have 90 or 120hz but 144hz which is just subtle but i think it looks great and is a bit smoother than the competition and the performance is great the device runs smoothly quickly and keeps apps open for a long time thanks to 12 GB of RAM If I didn't know better, I would think there is a current Snapdragon here and in fact there is a current Snapdragon here, but not the Snapdragon 8 gen 3 but the 7 gen 3 and it is about half as powerful. for the CPU and only a third of the power for the GPU.

My expectation was that the entire smartphone would not work so well, but that is not the case at all, except for one place on the camera that Motorola is now much more complex. image processing and that's why the viufinder starts shaking after the trigger which then starts again quickly but it bothered me and graphics intensive games don't run at maximum settings which of course will bother hardcore gamers and nerds, but I think that Motorola is acting in the interests of the vast majority of customers if they opt for a slightly weaker processor but then make the memory 512 GB as standard and, in addition, this processor is much more fun and, therefore, the battery and duration are extremely good. the thing is not dead.

I got home at night I still had 60% battery and 31 and a half hours of screen use, that's crazy. I can go two days if I want, my record was 6 hours and 19 minutes and I still had 42%. The battery left a crazy 7 to 8 hours of screen use. Realistically and what's really amazing is that the battery here is about 10% smaller than the competition at 4500 amp hours and when empty it charges from 0 to 50% in just 8 minutes with the included 125 watt power supply and it completes in 18 minutes, which is currently the fastest charging you can buy here and there is even wireless charging with 50 watts.

For that you need a special cooled charger, but even wireless charging is faster than wired charging. for iPhone Pixel or Galaxy and vice versa, wireless charging is also very fast with 10 watts. I want to say a few words about the software before finally showing you that the camera software is one of my favorites. and the surface is almost intact like on a Google Pixel Motorola has not made any adjustments, some are fine but not all, gesture control, hack twice turns on the flashlight and rotate twice, the camera starts badly at any time, the The weather application has more advertising than real weather information and therefore moves a little, well, they are ready for the smartphone to be on a monitor in a kind of mini PC and on a TV on a TV, from Otherwise, only Samsung can do it wrong.

I don't like that the quick settings have soft focus in the background. That somehow sounds too much like 2013. Well, the software can be very easily adjusted to visually suit you individually, you can even delete the applications. and I think it always looks better. Bad, it's not exactly original software, but you can always feel it in the software. The VI i

r, but something like that old one that spins and this. it's loud it doesn't feel right and it just doesn't fit this device and it's neutral there are 3 years of android and 4 years of security updates which is longer than most people use their smartphone but other manufacturers offer even more so these days A smartphone stops or falls with the camera and that was Motorola's Achilles heel until now The photos were always pale and blurry but now they have artificial intelligence on their side and after the shutter each photo is optimized and you also have impressive hardware, the main camera has a large 50.

Megapixel sensor and an aperture of F14 that can capture a lot of light and therefore allows for strong boket. I mean, look how blurry the background can get. The look of the images is very natural, without excessive saturation or HDR sky and contrast. It's nice and the sharpness seems good. At first glance it seems very high, but it seems a little artificial to me. In addition to the main camera, there is also a 13-megapixel ultra-wide angle that can also take macro photos. The appearance is surprisingly close to the main camera, but the image sharpness is lower, especially in low light.

Then there's the noise, the third camera is a 10-megapixel triple zoom with dual aperture similar to the Galaxy S24 and the photos are the same. I really like this viewing angle and that's why I took a lot of photos with it and I think some of the photos turned out very nice, but it also has problems. This low light camera and 10 megapixels are not that much, which means that sometimes you can see it at the resolution of the Galaxy S24, but it is the same and costs more. The selfie camera has 50 megapixels, a relatively large F19 aperture, and the autofocus images are very good.

I think they have good sharpness and. skin tones Motorola has finally done it, your camera is no longer a point of criticism, what do you think? I think the photos look great and especially in this price range, Motorola can keep up. Don't hide anymore, how excited. For me, but of course we have to be honest, there are still better devices, the Google Pixel 8 even costs a little less and takes better pictures, but you have three good focal lengths, the video stabilization is smooth and they all have this. Buy a smartphone, I think you will be happy with the photos.

Conclusion In an age where most smartphones start at €900 and go up to €1400 or more, it's really refreshing to see that Motorola only wants to see €699 for this one. , which is much cheaper and the price will probably even go down over time we have a stylish design, a super good screen, we have extremely good battery life and this ultra-fast charging, at least 512 GB of memory and the performance and the camera too They are solid. There are only subtleties that I criticize. Now I would spontaneously think about the duration of the upgrade and this vibration motor that just didn't have to be there, but for the price I think such compromises are completely fine.

I think this smartphone will be fine. well received by the masses because it is not trying to show off with the data sheet but rather a good creation of a user experience and now I am even more excited about the motor
