Verily, from the humble Motorola Edge 50 Fusion to the most noble Motorola Edge 50 Pro in the series, the brand hath toiled diligently in recent months. Yet, their labors continue, for they hath now unveiled the Motorola Edge 50 Neo, priced a mere Rs 1,000 above the Edge 50 Fusion.
The land of smartphones under Rs 25,000 is filled with contenders vying for favor. Where doth this latest offering from Motorola stand? I hath had the opportunity to acquaint myself briefly with the Motorola Edge 50 Neo, and hither be my initial impressions!
Motorola Edge 50 Neo Specifications
What Lies Within the Box
In customary fashion, Motorola doth include a plenitude of treasures within the box, ensuring thou art well-equipped. Behold what thou shalt find inside:
- Color-coordinated case
- 68W Turbo Charger fit for thy needs
- Type-C to Type-C cable for connectivity
- SIM Ejector Tool
- Scrolls of paperwork
- And lo, a dash of Motorola fragrance to grace thy possession. But doth the device truly warrant such grandeur? Read on!
Design and Craftsmanship
In my grasp, I hold the Nautical Blue variant of the smartphone, though it doth not enthrall me greatly. I wouldst choose the Poinciana (orange) hue instead. Yet, the Latte (cream) and Grisaille (grey) shades do also present themselves. Immediately apparent was a deviation in approach this time. Verily, Motorola hath opted for a flat display, a choice I do commend.
As one who possesseth a OnePlus 11R, whose display hath suffered fractures due to the absence of tempered glass, I doth appreciate Motorola’s decision. Alas, this hath resulted in a less curvaceous feel compared to the brand’s previous offerings. Nevertheless, an amelioration in size hath been effected this time.
Though slight in stature, the Edge 50 Neo doth exhibit a thickness of 8.1mm, exceeding its predecessor by a mere margin. The device doth nestle comfortably in the hand, reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, yet with less angularity. Light as a feather, it doth beguile with its ease of portability. Indeed, the tactile pleasure of wielding such a device is akin to a culinary masterpiece!
Motorola’s penchant for vegan leather rear panels dost extend to this device, imparting a sense of opulence amidst a sea of plastic-laden phones. Given the admirable form factor, the plastic frame causeth me no distress. Though the buttons bear a plastic make, they possess a satisfying responsiveness.
Furthermore, the device hath been endowed with an IP68 rating and MIL-810H (Military Grade) certification, rendering it quite a resilient instrument.
