Editorial report
Motorola S50 Neo 12 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The Motorola S50 Neo suits anyone who puts a large display and a slim, light body first, provided they can do without Google Services. Its 6.7-inch pOLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate and 1600-nit peak brightness. The 91.6% screen-to-body ratio is among the best of its time. Its 173 g weight and 7.6 mm thickness are also among the most favorable figures for phones launched around the same time.
The 50 MP main camera includes optical image stabilization and is joined by an 8 MP ultrawide camera. Overall, the camera ranks better than most phones launched around the same time. The Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage in this configuration. The S50 Neo is also sold with 12 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 512 GB.
Its 5000 mAh battery supports 30 W charging. Although both figures are typical, the battery overall is worse than that of most phones of its time. The phone runs Android 14 but has no Google Services, which matters to anyone relying on Google's ecosystem. With a NeoScore of 6.4 and an overall standing typical of phones launched around the same time, the Motorola S50 Neo is a more compelling fit for buyers seeking a standout display and slim design than for those prioritizing a standout battery or Google services.
