Editorial report

Motorola Edge 30 technical sheet

The Motorola Edge 30 suits anyone looking for a slim, light phone with a fast-refresh display; the trade-off is a battery with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage, more space than most phones of its time offer.

Its 6.5-inch AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz, among the highest refresh rates of phones launched around the same time, and has 405 ppi, better than most. At 155 g and 6.8 mm thick, the phone is also among the lightest and thinnest of its time. Peak brightness of 500 nits is lower than on most. The Snapdragon 778G+ records 609,900 in AnTuTu v10, better than most phones launched around the same time; 8 GB of RAM is typical.

The 50 MP main camera has a 1/1.55″ sensor, larger than that of most phones of its time, and optical image stabilization. A 50 MP ultrawide camera adds a wider framing option. Connectivity is better than most phones launched around the same time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC and Bluetooth 5.2. The 4020 mAh battery has less capacity than most, while 33 W charging is typical. Its overall NeoScore is 6.3. The Edge 30 is a good fit for people who prioritize a lightweight design, a fast display and broad connectivity over battery capacity.
