Motorola Moto Edge 30 Review | Needs longer in the oven?

- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Reviewing Motorola's Moto Edge 30 smartphone, boasting some of the best camera tech and respectable specs for this mid-range UK price. I've been testing the Moto Edge 30 as my full time phone for a week and here's my verdict on the battery life, gaming prowess, stock Android experience and more.
For under £400 in 2022, you have a lot of choice in the mobile world. If your priority is a camera, this Motorola blower will be a strong rival to the Pixel 6a when that smartphone is finally launched (unboxing hopefully imminent!). You can shoot good looking photos in most conditions, even quite low light.
The Moto Edge 30's fresh, clean Android 12 vibe is one of the other advantages here, while the media performance is solid too. A 144Hz AMOLED screen and stereo speaker setup makes up for the lack of headphone jack and expandable storage.
However, the Motorola Edge 30 is still quite buggy, which makes it less than enjoyable to use at times. Hopefully an update will put paid to that very soon!

Great work. I really enjoy your videos and your advice is brilliant. Having a honest and detailed review and your advice in many ways is fantastic. Wishing you all the happiness in 2022. I think your great. Keep the good advice coming. Andy.
Mine has been in the oven some months and it works flawless now. Even the automatic adaptiveness, which I switched of almost immediately is working great now.
Bought the International version off an Ebay seller and I'm using it in the USA (Oahu, Hawaii) with Mint Mobile with no issues. It pulled the June 2022 security update. Wifi calling works fine. Default setup language was even United States English, not UK English or one of the release countries languages. This phone convinced me to finally let go of my Moto Z2 Force. Love a thin and light weight phone. Even though its 10 grams heavier than my Moto Z2 Force it "feels" lighter in the hands because the weight is better distributed.
I'm really committed to Moto phones because the chop to turn on flashlight feature is something so useful that I can't go without it. Same with the wrist twist to turn on the camera. Once you get used to these features it's hard to go back.
Just wish updates were longer. I used my Moto Z2 for longer than was wise without any security updates.
i love my Z2 Force; sad it never worked w/ wifi calling.
Mobile onslaught...the mobile/extreme metal magazine we didn't know we wanted. Hope you enjoyed your bedlam in Belgium Chris.
Been using Motorola Edge 30 for almost 2 month now. Great phone overall.
Nothing phone is best 🤭
@@arpitpandit391 😂😂
Me too. I agree
@@arpitpandit391 it's a joke of a product 😂😂
I've had Motorola phones for a decade, just got this to upgrade my G8 power, it's a definite upgrade 👍😃
I'm very happy with my edge 30
aah Mons.. my city 😁 beautiful photo and great Review 👌
Good phone in a Budget. Camera is surprisingly good.
02:14 admittedly a little hammered right now but this definitely made my night haha
Good review 👍
Good review 👍 I use to be a Motorola and Sony Ericsson fan the last moto phone I had was the Motorola pure edition since then I've been buying Samsung phones right now and still rocking with S20fe 5g had it a little over a year now it's still going strong thinking bout getting a new phone by the end of the year depending on how this fe is holding up.
You got one beast of a phone mate. Why upgrade after barely a year?
I've been waiting patiently for your review of this, as I've been reading good things about the Edge 30. You've only gone and put me off it!
Some units have alot issues out of the box. Like SOT is around 4hrs and phone restarts often. Resetting the phone fixed all the issues
All I can say is mine is working brilliantly 🤷♂️
Nice review! Same chipset as the Nothing Phone 1 I believe! One question... Have you ever dropped a phone whilst doing this here >>>> 03:21 lol
Really enjoy your videos of phones! You seem to talk about beer a lot and my brewer hubby only would hear this portion lol. Might pop into John Lewis to check this one out
Yay Motorola 🔥🔥🔥
I already bought this phone yesterday, which excited me it came with earphones, very good. love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Are you happy with it?
Okay tak performance dah sebulan guna bang?
Bagaimana?, Apakah ada masalah di layarnya?? Seperti burn in screen atau Shadowing?? Tolong bantu saran, saya mau beli juga tapi takut layar nya kena screen burn in atau shadow, mau beli antara oneplus 10 pro / 10t atau Motorola edge 20 / Motorola edge 30 bingung 😕😕, dan ada 1 pilihann lgi Motorola edge 2021 itu layarny Lcd 144hz
@@faizkhai23 ok bang...sy pon beli fon ni...sgt puas hati...nk multitasking utk keje smooth je
Hi Nak Tanya, ada apa reliable source untuk beli motorola phone ya?
Got 12 gb ram version for 399$. Love this phone smooth fast doesn't get hot like Samsung. Motto for life only down side is bad updates with motorola.
Great review Spurt - what town were you visiting during the camera section? - looks quirky! :)
Very good mobile.
Its weakness is poor baterry life when on gps. My second phone - realme 7 pro can do 6h rides without killing the battery.
Edge is good for 4h gps rides.
At gaming its better then average, very smooth for most of the time, cool and not as vampiric on energy.
I have realme 7 pro too but thinking to upgrade to edge 30 as other competitor phones are heavier and bigger than my current phone. What's your experience from switching from RM7pro ? I'm too addicted to that 60w charging so a bit worried there but my phone doesn't give more than 5 and a half hr sot so i think they have almost same battery consumption. And my biggest question - is the selfie better than the crappy selfie on RM?
Motorola 😍
Speaking of monk beer if you are able to find La Fin Du Monde, try it out. It's from Canada and it is amazing
Would you do a review of the Motorola g82?
Can u review the new nothing phone 1. Also big fan of the channel !!
Will you be doing a review on the sony xperia 1 IV soon ??
💯👌👌love from India ❤❤❤❤
hello, what would you recommend for taking vacation photos and videos, moto edge 30 or realme 9 pro plus? thank you
Thank you for not making those silly suprised faces on your thumbnail like other RUclipsrs plagued by it..
Your reviews are always fresh!!!
Cheers Asad, RUclips is an absolute gurnfest, not sure why they all think it's necessary!
@@TechSpurt RUclips algorithms that attract clicks.. but glad to see you are above those shenanigans ( how u always say it )
:)
Cheers and all the best
Can u plz review the honor 50 again I wanna see what's the update thus far, thxxxxxx
Any chance of reviewing the Moto G82 for comparison?
Fantastic phone, but you have to tell us where do you find your manga wallpaper.....please
Camera looking good 😍
Where are you getting your wallpapers?
Great phone, I like it. Light weight and just compact
Omg 3:43 what the heck... I just watched this episode of Ms Marvel and I opened RUclips and seeing this review video now, here also same I'm seeing woah... This is kinda cool 😉😂
6 month user here, if you happen to care here is my opinion:
Bought it for 300€ during a sale period (even if it's pretty much always on sale), the phone is decently fast, the screen is the best by far in this price range (truly incredible) and the camera it's usable in most areas. In my opinion tho this review missed a crucial point of this phone, it's LIGHT, so light that anyone who tries to hold it is surprised, so light that with a decent cover it weights less than any other phone at this price range without one, Motorola website talk about weight as one of its selling points and they are 100% right, you barely feel it in your pocket, and for someone who uses it in a work environment that's a massive blessing.
One of the main drawbacks I think it's the battery, but fast charging takes quick work of refilling your phone fast enough, and honestly, seen how light it is I'm surprised it can last this much.
The software side is mostly fixed, not as many bugs as the video says, still not perfect tho. The surprising part it's that it's probably the cleaned android after pixel phones, and that reduces A LOT slowdowns over time.
Conclusion? If it's on sale buy it, like, immediately. You'll not regret it.
Wanna ask how's the battery exactly? Like how many times do you need to charge it everyday? Assuming you're using your phone 60-70% of the time throughout the day
@@aminazman9311 its difficult to answer properly, i always have the option to charge it (i work in office). I would say that even a good 30 min at half day (with fast charging) should be plenty to be comfortable with the battery, especially if you dont use it outdoors so you can keep the screen below top brightness
I found it for 210 Euros. It's the 8/128gb version but this is a steal
Hey wanted to know many people say that camera isn't that good and it has red tint in 4k recording. So just wanted to know is it true about the red tint or is it improved. Do enlighten me pls.
I've just bought it from Currys for £284 to update my Moto G8 power
So far it's a massive upgrade to what I'm used to and I'm over the moon with it, I sent the Poco X4 I bought last week back because it was just too different to my Motorola and I've used Motorola phones for over a decade now , I'm getting older I don't like change, android 12 however is different 😂😂
I've never filled a 64gb phone so am not worried about only having 128gb storage available
I always put my phones in a flip case aswell so the build isn't an issue or the finger prints on the back
The screen is stunning, I've turned vivid down to natural however as I found it too strong, and the sound quality is fantastic compared to previous Motorola stereo speakers I've used , connected to my Sonos no issues aswell
33 watt charging is an upgrade when you've been using 25 watt and seriously how fast do people need to recharge their phones ?
My only worry is the reduction in battery size, I'm however not a gamer, I do watch movies on my phones now though and I'm hoping the reduction isn't massive because I don't want to run out of power regularly
Best thing about upgrading from the same make is it cloned my previous phone and setup to it with a cable connection 😂😂
Me too! Brilliant deal!
That must be a satisfying upgrade 😅
Your usage of phone is about the same as mine and I own an old MOTO G7 Plus...I was thinking of a Pixel but after reading your comments sounds like an easy choice thanks.
@@TheKwaze just to let you know, still using it, the phone has had updates since I bought it, phone is working incredibly well, the camera is exceptional and I'm having no issues with the smaller battery, I'm so pleased I bought it
You'll hopefully be happy aswell 👍
@@ANDREWHALL28 Thanks for the info. My only slight nag is no wireless charging for in the car, but I can live without that. The simple copying of data is a great bonus too as I have always had problems in the past and no longer have the patience for it.
S21 fe and edge 30 are same price in my country
What do i choose?
any would you like to make an update video ? it must have received some fixes
Nice.💖
I do not see 5G option under Preferred Network Type in my Moto Edge 30. Is this an issue or is it like that only? Can somebody pls confirm this?
Very Attractive phone
From Bangladesh
am i first? great video by the way
Nice HDR
"I did run dry just before bedtime"
You and me, both.
Did they send you a Samsung xcover 6 pro?
Pls do a comparison of moto edge 30 and nothing 1
Hello techspurt pls tell me were u get Ur anime wallpapers pls 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Can you review the edge 30 fusion please mate?
I'm looking for stock android phone, it seems like this one is the best value for the money. The only downside is the large screen size.
It has 6.5 inch screen. Don't think you'll find andrioid phone with a smaller size in this price
I think a 6,1 inch screen is the way to go. Not too big but also not to small. I hope they will bring us more practical screen sizes in the near future
I don't really like the way the current task bar look like on these new motorolas devices (i forget the name, I mean that window that shows up when you drag your finger down). Is there a Way to return it to the previous version? The same of G6, 7, that looked more like "a pure android"?
That's the default on stock Android 12 and 13. You can set their colors by either picking through wallpaper or through accent color manually.
Any chance of a g62/g82 review?
I would like to get the wallpaper he uses any idea?
the moto app annoyed me a bit, i thought you could customize the ui accent color to anything as there is a colour wheel but in reality its basically just the main 6 google colours with ever so slightly different tints, you cant select a bright punchy blue or deep red etc
Should i get it over the honor 50?
Sadly my moto edge 30 is having screen burn. Navigation bar and battery indicator shade is imprinted
Nicee
Did Motorola give any updates recently to improve Camera quality?
Also, Between Edge 30 and Samsung S21 FE, which one would you prefer with price difference of 6000 INR only
Go for sumsung,moto has heating issue and bad camara
Moto anyway for amazing software..
S21 fe has better camera. Also longer support for updates, i think its 4 yrs
I'm also confused between edge 30 and s21 fe. I don't want to compromise with Moto peek display and Moto gestures but on the other hand i desperately want premiumness. I guess Moto gestures and peek display will hold me from s21 fe
Should I get a used pixel 5 or a new motorola edge 30? Been using pixel 3 and I really love it but also thinking of long term use...
Get the pro version bro
Does it has LDAC?
Not as "Edgy" as the previous Motorola Edge! 😉
It's funny what can creep in when you set your new phone up. My OH's Motorola once developed horrendous drag and some apps freezing on start up. A careful dissection of what was last loaded on, found that Deezer had caused the problem.
unable to find storage type specification for this device ? What is the actual storage type is that UFS or hybrid and where it was mentioned ?
128GB and 256GB internal storage options available, no expansion SD card available
Waiting for unboxing and review on nothing phone 1...
hi sir, i have one doubt , , moto edge 30 mobile was launched 2022, in 2022 the mobile got 5 updates, i have bought moto edge 30 in april 2023 but for me i have only got 1 update , y like this sir?
So I got a great deal on this moto edge 30 I am using, my first moto phone ever was the one previous to this moto edge 30 pro, I liked the haptics , performance and charging time, didn't like the weight although built was premium and battery life was okay managing 5.5+ hours sot with 5g , much better than the Xiaomi 12 pro which gave me 4.5 hours but not close to 11r at nearly 7 hours, it was average. This is different for me because I am not buying phones for the chipset but for their built and design, built is not anything to write home about, plasticy back and sides, 6.5 inch with squared off iphonish edges, yeah that's design the last part, alluminium sides and glass back are all the rage now , it's the slimmest 5g phone but doesn't feel like it especially after using the Vivo v27 pro, I really need a phone with metal sides, even that had plastic frame. But at 155gms it's the lightest too , and that feels nice , it's well balanced, and at 6.5 it ain't too small either. Screen is poled , so while the colours are vibrant and the edges really tiny as poled is plastic OLED, I don't think it's same as a super Amoled, fairly bright for outdoor use also. Ram management is surprising good (6/128 model) as it is running a stock Android, the drop down menu reminds me of my pixel 6, so we are getting into performance, it's a mixed bag not as snappy as 8 series chip and ufs 3.1, 3.2 or ufs 4 (haven't tried that), but not as sluggish as a 6 series either, 778+ and ufs 2.2 combination, make the phone fairly usable, I have seen a few glitches in opening the keyboard, not the slickest gaming, although casual is super fun, it's a fairly average phone with rear cameras being that of pro version, does the job , selfie is not great especially when you have greys like me, fairly average, haha I never thought I would say that about my phone when I have been using flagship chips for so long, it's not budgety either, that the extra second will make me feel what the hell m I using, but holding the device I can feel I can it between my index fingers and don't need to support it using my pinky
why is it soo late in the uk? I swear it was launched months ago in india
@tech spurt ,could you please review Motorola x30
Why no ready for on the G52??
Its having display issues and service guys stated it had moisture content in charging circuit and therefore it cannot be regarded under warranty. Never this had fallen even on dry! many moto device getting green line like the 1 plus issue! other issues- camera quality sucks especially front cam gets stuck & GPS signal issues.
Phone makers in 2022: lets bring back the 2009-2010 iphone 4s design in 2022.
Consumers: wow its a latest design in 2022.

In every video there's at least one person who ask for wallpapers. No response from this guy 😅🌝
👌🏻😊👍🏻
next month im buying moto edge 30. 8gb 256gb .
if you live in the UK , Carphone Warehouse is selling it at a good discount I think £279. This is a bargain.
£279 at Currys atm until sold out
Anyone that's worried about the limited update support on Motorola can solve it themselves by installing LineageOS ROM, better for security on a foundation level and weekly ROM updates, then surely bi-monthly security patch levels. Motorola Edge 30 has received LineageOS 20 support as well, its Android 13.
Thank you very that is interesting. I have one question would I be able to download apps from google store on this OS. Is it worth the hassle?
thoughts on this vs edge 30 neo?
What did you choose?
Do you think this phone is better than poco f4?
This or the samsung a52s?
zenfone 9 sir :)
Love u

Just bought a Poco f4 GT 12 + 256gb for £399 from Amazon Prime day. Blows the Motorola out of the water
It should do it's over £100 more 🤣
My Edge 30 was £284
@@ANDREWHALL28 That's a good price. I did have a look at the Motorola previously and it was £349, so thought the Poco was pretty good considering the specs and overall performance.
@@zekepeck9105 I bought a Poco X4 pro last week and it just felt all wrong so sent it back , I am however very used to Motorola phones having had 3 previously so change is going to feel strange
You gonna regret it just like me... I fortunately sent it back... Miui sucks...
Get ready for motherboard issue 😂😂
Edge 30 and other motorola phone has started showing green pink lines on thousands of phones. Search on Google their forums and RUclips. I purchased this phone after watching video so thought I'll come and update. If you wish you can make a video about this and maybe motorola will help us like OnePlus is helping affected users.
I've ordered the Motorola G62 5G after breaking my Galaxy A71.
I bought 53 of these for 215$ each
Beautiful phone it is selling well
Why 53, do you have a business?
@@wausjackbauer128 No, but I got a good deal and couldn't say no.
They have gone now and made a good profit.
Now I hesistate between Edge 30 and Edge 20 Pro as price difference is $100 in Thailand
Any idea guys?
Edge 30
Edge 20 Pro: Mono speaker
Edge 30: Stereo speaker
I was confused too but edge 20 pro is a bigger and bulkier. If you don't have problem with that then go for it big during sale. The price difference will likely go down.
where are you from?
I am currently using this for 3weeks and its a great phone but my phone is turn off automatically sometimes and had to turn it on again, it happens couple of times a day .does anyone else have this problem
Nope not me , I've used it only for 4 days though. You sure it's not restarting for the updates , right ?
If it's doing updates it'll restart automatically, but mine is working fine
@@ANDREWHALL28 IAM having this problem and it's frequency is increasing day by day . planning to give in service center.

Hey Chris I got something called Google palette which changes the colour of Google apps by taking colours from my wallpaper automatically so right now Google phone and Google messages and the play store are yellow and brown lovle coor that video you shot wow that was bright really bright like theee was some sort of filter on
heey can u do unboxing for nothing phone 1 ?
Fingerprint scanner? Side mounted or in screen?

This or neo ?
I have a feeling Nothing 1 is going to eat the lunch of phones like this, especially if the rumoured £399 price is correct
I just bought the edge 30 for £284 from Currys
Nothing will do nothing 😂😂
Yesterday only I received the June security update which is 500mb in size
So Uncle Spurt didn't get a Nothing Phone to review ? Hardly surprising after he dissed the Nothing Launcher.
