Editorial report
Motorola Edge S30 technical sheet
The Motorola Edge S30 suits people looking for a high-refresh-rate display and strong hardware specifications. Its 144 Hz refresh rate is among the highest on phones of its time, while the 86.5% screen-to-body ratio is better than most. The IPS LCD display measures 6.8″ and has 1080 × 2460 px resolution, 395 ppi and HDR10 support.
Its 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage exceed what most phones launched around the same time offer. The Snapdragon 888+ is paired with an AnTuTu score of 754,000, also better than most. For photography, its 108 MP resolution is among the highest of its time, and the 1/1.52″ sensor is larger than most. It also has optical image stabilization and a 13 MP ultrawide camera; the f/1.9 aperture on the 108 MP camera is worse than on most phones of its time.
Connectivity is better than on most phones of its time, with Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and 5G. The 5000 mAh battery and 33 W charging are typical figures for its time, not a notable drawback. The Motorola Edge S30 has an overall NeoScore of 6.6. It is a strong fit for anyone prioritizing a fast-refresh display, generous memory and high camera resolution, with the weaker aperture on its 108 MP camera as the clear trade-off.
