Editorial report
Motorola Moto S50 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Motorola Moto S50 suits anyone looking for a relatively compact phone with a highly detailed display; its main trade-off is a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. It weighs 170 g, and the 6.36-inch display has a density of 460 ppi, among the highest for phones launched around the same time. Peak brightness reaches 3000 nits, higher than on most of them.
For photography, the phone includes a telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, among the highest magnifications of its time. The main camera’s 1/1.56″ sensor is larger than on most phones launched around then, but its f/1.9 aperture is dimmer than most. The 4310 mAh battery is a notable limitation; wired charging at 68 W and wireless charging at 15 W are both better than on most phones of its time.
This configuration pairs 12 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage. The Moto S50 is also sold as 8 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 512 GB, spanning 8 GB / 256 GB to 12 GB / 512 GB. This China configuration has no Google Services. Overall, performance and connectivity are better than on most phones launched around the same time, and the phone’s overall standing is better than most. With a NeoScore of 7.3, it is best suited to people who prioritize the display and optical zoom.
