Editorial report
Motorola Edge 5G UW (2021) technical sheet
The Motorola Edge 5G UW (2021) suits anyone looking for a 5G phone with a large display, ample storage, and broad connectivity. Its 6.8-inch display pairs a 1080 × 2460 px resolution with a 144 Hz refresh rate, among the highest of its time. The screen-to-body ratio is 85.9%, better than that of most phones launched around the same time.
Performance and hardware are better than those of most phones of its time, and its 256 GB of storage is more than most offer. Connectivity also stands out: it supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and NFC. The 108 MP camera resolution is among the highest of its time, and its 1/1.52″ sensor is larger than those in most phones from the period. The trade-off is its f/1.9 aperture, which is worse than most, and it has no optical image stabilization. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide camera, while video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps.
A 5000 mAh battery and 30 W charging are typical figures for phones of its time. It runs Android 11 and has no direct OS updates. With a NeoScore of 6.2, this is a more compelling choice for buyers prioritizing a high-refresh display, storage, and connectivity than for those seeking a particularly competitive camera aperture.
