The Motorola Edge 50 Neo arrives with quite a package and at a sweet price point. Motorola threw in a nice 6.36″ pOLED display with Gorilla Glass 3 in a nice compact shell, added stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos sound, a 50MP main camera and a telephoto lens with 3x zoom.
That sounds like heaven to us. But the list of juicy features isn’t done yet. There is 68W fast charging and 15W wireless charging in the mix. We wish the battery capacity were bigger than the 4310mAh we are given, but with the compact display and decent Dimensity 7300 chipset, it should do just fine.
Did we mention that the Motorola Edge 50 Neo also has full IP68 dust and water resistance and is also a military-grade phone? Yes, it is. This is such a delightful package. And it is all wrapped up in a nice Vegan rear cover and four sweet pantone colours to choose from. We are sold on the PANTONE Grisaille colour option; it is quite demure (yes; we finally got to use that social media buzzword).
