Editorial report
Motorola Edge (2021) technical sheet
The Motorola Edge (2021) suits buyers looking for a large, fast display, ample storage, and high camera resolution. Its 6.8″ IPS LCD screen runs at 144 Hz, a refresh rate among the highest of its time. The 87% screen-to-body ratio is also higher than that of most phones launched around the same time.
Its 256 GB of storage exceeds what most phones of its time offer. For photography, the 108 MP resolution is among the highest of its time, and the 1/1.52″ sensor is larger than those in most phones launched around then. The trade-off is the f/1.9 aperture, less favorable than that of most phones of its time; optical image stabilization is also absent. The ultrawide camera has 8 MP. The phone uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G, with a listed AnTuTu result of 596,000.
The 5000 mAh battery and 30 W charging are better than those of most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity is another strength, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC. Overall hardware stands better than most, while the display as a whole is typical for its time. With an overall NeoScore of 6.1, the Edge (2021) is a good fit for buyers who prioritize its 144 Hz screen, 256 GB storage, and 108 MP resolution and can accept the less favorable aperture.
