Motorola has officially presented the Edge 50 Pro as the first entry in the Edge 50 series. Equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset and a 144 Hz pOLED display that outputs at 1220p, the Motorola Edge 50 Pro also has a 50 MP f/1.4 primary camera supported by OIS and a 4,500 mAh battery that supports 125 W wired and 50 W wireless charging for the equivalent of $383.
Oh hell yeah, another phone 2% better than the last one with the same storage capacity as the last one for more money, probably no micro SD support still, lousy stock os, and waive your warranty for the right to install alternate os.
Probably. I didn’t verify any of that but it’s likely since nothing ever changes for the better anymore.
Not even better, it’s actually a downgrade from its predecessor in terms of refresh rate and SoC, going from 165 Hz to 144 Hz, and from a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (which also means it drops AV1 hardware decoding, which its predecessor had).
Tbf it is cheaper than the Edge 40 Pro, they messed up their naming. This phone is the successor to the Edge 40 not the Pro. Mind you there are still some downgrades as they downgraded the storage to UFS 2.2.
Not really, it’s closer to the Edge 40 Pro than to the Edge 40 in price. And the Edge 50 Ultra looks like it’s gonna be way more expensive than the 40 Pro, whle also having a lower refresh-rate screen.
It was comparable in price to the Edge 40 in India which was the only market it was launched in at the time of the comment. The European price is over the top but it should probably get price cuts soon.
