Motorola has introduced a new midrange phone with sleek designs, interesting colors, and a fairly compact build.
The Motorola Edge 50 Neo has PANTONE-curated colors on its soft vegan leather material. There’s the hero color, the PANTONE Poinciana, which has an orange-y hue, PANTONE Latte, PANTONE Grisaille, and PANTONE Nautical Bue. They’re even shipping it with cases that with a matching color. Plus, there’s a signature PANTONE logo printed at the bottom for you to show off.
But if you hate cases and want to show off its looks, you can stay naked with confidence as the Edge 50 Neo has a US Military-grade (MIL-STD-810H) certification and has been IP68-rated for dust and water resistance.
The device is also more compact than most midrange phones in the market today. It has a 6.4-inch LTPO OLED screen with an FHD+ resolution and a high 120Hz refresh rate. It has 3,000 nits of peak brightness, HDR10+ support, 10-bit color, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
To keep it thin and light, the device only managed to have a 4,310mAh battery, versus the current standard of 5,000mAh. On the upside, it has flagship-grade 68W fast charging.
Camera quality is also a big deal here. Motorola used a large 50-megapixel 1/1.56-inch Sony LYTIA 700C sensor for the main shooter, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide with autofocus, and a 10-megapixel 3x telephoto glass. A 32-megapixel selfie camera is on the front.
The Motorola Edge 50 Neo is available now in select European countries with a starting price of EUR499 (~Php31,200). Motorola confirms it will land in more markets soon.
