Motorola Edge Review: 5G on a budget By PhoneArena

This is the new Motorola edge one of the most affordable, 5g phones out there, it just seven hundred dollars it undercuts, even one plus, and to get to that. Lower price Motorola opted for the next best alternative to Snapdragon 865 and equipped it with the more cost-efficient Snapdragon 765 chip. Instead, this is Qualcomm first integrated, 5g chipset. It also added a huge battery, 64 megapixel camera and a headphone jack hello guys. My name is Vic with fond marina, and this is our review of the Motorola edge available in midnight. Magenta and solar black.

The Motorola edge looks pretty and feels solid, but not to having the palm love it or leave it. Motorola is going all-in with the display curves ?, which aid in keeping the phone narrower than the screen diagonal number suggests. The six point seven-inch screen is all at one, and it curves sharply on both sides: enhancing the aesthetics of the phone and making the swipe to go back gesture a breeze. The tall 21 by 9 aspect ratio of the display makes the large phone rather comfortable to hold and operate with just one hand. The rigid power lock key on the side helps you feel it without looking and overall, the motor edge design, while not winning any contests and originality, is rather organ amok, as for the screen is sufficiently bright for outdoor use, but it's far from the very best and also delivers rather code.

Looking colors with the blue and green spectrum off the mark, we were kind of used to seeing amazing displays lately, so we definitely expected more here now. What is great about this display is that it runs at a 90 Hertz, refresh rate, meaning that it refreshes 90 times a second rather than 60 years. Most other phones- and this enhances the experience it makes everything run extra smooth. But if you want to maximize battery life, you still have the option to switch back to 60 Hertz, which gives you around 10 percent improvement in battery life. One thing that is missing on the Motorola Edge is an official ip68 water protection rating.

The phone has quote: unquote: water Pelham design as Motorola calls it, and it does say they were tested according to ip68 standards, but without the official certificate you should always be extra. Careful now with the edge Motorola is also proving that, if there is a will a space for both a headphone jack and a large battery can be found in 2020, and it also comes with a pair of in-ear headphones that look good and sound quite decent too. The phone also comes with an official case in the box that serves as a bumper on the sides that leaves the curved display sides exposed for operation and protects everything else, which is a nice touch. Saving you extra money and time needed to look for and choose a wrapper. Now the snapdragon 765 chips on this phone is a big deal.

This shovel-ready 5g solution supports the necessary bands for us carriers, as well as international carriers, 5g, with the only exception being the millimeter wave range, which requires bulky antennas and is not supported on this phone. So what about the cameras with the edge Motorola is introducing the trendy high-res sensor with pixel bending technology, providing a 64 megapixel main camera on the back of the phone that merges four physical pixels into one virtual pixel for a detailed 16 megapixel final shot. You also have an ultra-wide camera to capture those epic looking shots, as well as a 2 x, zoom, telephoto camera and even the so called time-of-flight sensor that captures a depth map for portraits the ultra-wide camera does double duty as a macro shooter and while not great, you can get an up-close view that is not possible in most other phones. So how good are the cameras? Oh, the answer is they're fine and daylight, and they produce mostly sharp and clean photos with decent dynamic range and a good amount of detail. We'd like to see a bit more punch in the colors, though, which lead to the cold side of the spectrum and a tad more saturation for more eye pleasing looks this will be hugely appreciated.

The edge is also capable of 4k video recording at up to 60 frames per se and can do high-res slow-motion as well. The 4k footage comes out pretty well with no visible artifacts, excellent, continuous autofocus speeds and great stereo sound, recording just like with the still shots, though colors appear on the cold side. Now, with the edge in the edge plus Motorola introduced a new version of its Android skin called my UX now Motorola knows people aren't fans of bloated skins with apps that duplicate the functionality that Google already offers. So it still keeps it simple, with only a few extra features, there's also custom software to make the most of that curved edge display, because the menus you can pull from the side, in-game triggers battery indicators and notification lights are all part of the edge experience. The good things about the new, my UX Edition, however, and here wow, you can now choose your own themes that the full settings look like we're back in Android Gingerbread days, everything looks very basic and, to top it off, the phone comes with a great selection of exactly one wallpaper, but it's a good-looking one.

In addition, for a light stock, Android overlay, my UX bombards you with annoying warnings and tutorials from the get-go, no matter if you fire the camera, app the settings or try to set the trigger buttons for games, we also must add the haptic feedback to our general list of complaints. The vibration motor on this phone is too weak and be prepared for the phone to keep shaking loud and long with every notification, which is quite annoying now as much as we complain about these nuances, though, we have to say that Motorola did a great job on battery life. The edge comes with a 4500 William hour battery that will last the average user up to two days of the charger and the phone lasted especially long. While streaming videos online, we can check out the full results of the Motorola edge battery test over at our website at www. movinon.

com. You can find the link in the description now charging with the 18 watt charger. That's provided in the box, however, is nowhere nearly as fast as you get on. C-- OnePlus phones and the food charge takes more than two hours on the Motorola edge. So there you have it the Motorola edge, a $700 phone that gives you 5g connectivity, extra long battery life and the different curved screen design, but it compromises a bit on display quality.

It comes with a dated Android interface and a camera that is just average.
