About the Motorola Edge 50
The Motorola Edge 50 is the middle child of Motorola's 2024 mid-range line-up, and it borrows more from the pricier Edge 50 Pro than the numbering suggests. You get the same triple camera arrangement with a genuine 3x telephoto, IP68 protection, 68W wired charging and 15W wireless charging, all wrapped in a slim 7.8mm body with a vegan leather back that feels smarter than its class. The 6.7-inch pOLED screen is large, sharp and smooth at 120Hz, which is where most of the money clearly went. The weak spot is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip: it copes fine with messaging, video and photography but reviewers found it runs warm under load and does not keep pace with rivals in gaming, and the slower UFS 2.2 storage does not help. The 5000mAh battery comfortably covers a day. Software support runs to three Android upgrades, shorter than the smaller Edge 50 Neo manages, so factor that in if you keep phones for a long time.

Motorola Edge 50 Specifications
Spec Scores
£200-£399 Phones · 199 phones
- 6.7 inches
- 1220 x 2712 pixels
- OLED, 120Hz, 1600 nits peak
Based on panel type (LTPO is the modern flagship gold standard), resolution, refresh rate, peak brightness, screen size, and HDR10+ / Dolby Vision support. Marketing peak-brightness claims are capped at 3500 nits to prevent inflation.
- Single camera setup
- 50 MP main camera
- 4K video recording
Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.
- 32 MP front camera
- 4K selfie video
Based on selfie megapixels and max selfie-video resolution.
- 5,000 mAh
- 68W wired
Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
