Editorial report

Motorola Moto Edge S30 12 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The Moto Edge S30 suits anyone looking for a fast-refresh display and a high-resolution main camera, but its aperture is worse than most phones of its time. This version has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the model is also sold in configurations up to 12 GB / 512 GB. It does not include Google Services, a significant limitation for anyone who relies on them.

Its 6.8-inch IPS LCD display runs at 144 Hz, among the highest refresh rates in phones of its time. The main camera offers 108 MP, also among the highest resolutions; its sensor measures 1/1.52″, while the f/1.9 aperture is worse than most and optical image stabilization is absent. A 13 MP ultrawide camera adds another field of view, and video recording includes 8K.

The AnTuTu result of 916,600 is among the highest for phones of its time. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and dual Nano-SIM. The battery has a 5000 mAh capacity and supports 33 W charging; both figures are typical for phones from the same period. Its overall NeoScore is 6.1. The Moto Edge S30 is worth considering for anyone who prioritizes a fast display and 108 MP resolution, provided Google Services are not essential and the lack of optical stabilization is acceptable.
