I have been using moto edge 30 pro since last 2 years and my phone is still running on Android 13. I get security patches every 3 months but without any bug fixes. Over last two years my phone received only 1 Android upgrade and 8 security patches. Most of the bugs are still present even after all these upgrades. There is no HDR support in RUclips and Netflix even though they claimed the screen supports HDR+. Moto really doesn't support their devices in a long run.
I agree, I'm ok with the delay updates but the problem with Moto is that they have bugs in the updates that no one talks and Moto don't even fix them. I had Moto edge 30 pro, which had screen flickering issue with Auto refresh mode and had network connection issue, Moto didn't even acknowledge these issue and not even fixed it for ~1 year. I don't trust Moto when it comes to updates.
Its same always...motos are nothing but a scammer ...i have moto edge 40 and i am getting no updates.....they just give securityupdates just for the sake for updates@@tarunx2
actually this is the first phone where im really convinced that the colors are true to life. when you take a shot with your dslr, it often looks flat. that's the look I like coz sometimes I also like it natural and also if you want to edit a photo, a flat, true to life color is the easiest to tinker with.
Sadly it's cameras are not up to date, especially telephoto one. Also battery life is thing that's really poor on this phone even considering it's release date. But I enjoyed my 5 years of owning S10 128GB + expanded memory by purchasing 512GB microsd card
If my phone was crap or I needed a new one I would definitely go for this phone. However since I have the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra I don't need to. Cuz my phone is AWESOME
No they don't that is cap because I have the Moto Edge Plus 2023 and we are on Android 14 we're supposed to only get one more update or two I think I'm not sure but by the time that happens I have a whole different phone probably upgrade to this ultra nobody keeps the same phone for 7 years That's diabolical and insane The older your phone the slower it becomes It doesn't matter how many Android or OS updates you get
Did you tested the dark model under water. I've noticed a tiny opening on back panel near volume rockers on my edge 50 ultra. I went to service center, they showed me same device also having same opening and they told me this is common. Then I checked your website and I see an opening on same place of your dark one model (grey only. The wood edition have no issues) so I realised that this is normal.I asked them about IP68 rating. They told me that there is no warrenty if water gone inside. I saw the same opening on your device on your photos that you have posted on your website (dark grey only) I want to know will this opening affect my phone's IP rating what is your test results of under water (grey edition).

one humble request to GSMarena if you test camera then test it in different environments its so easy to test every phone outside of your office but as viewers we want to differentiate difference pics from various locations for every phone!!!
I can't understand. All cameras are all over 50 MP and in the video for example you ranged every one of them between 12.5 MP and 16 MP? Shouldn't be 50 MP for the selfie camera???
Ordered x50 ultra for 400 pounds, looks worth that money. Camera in dxomark simililar like Huawei p50 Pro means pretty good as I'm bored with no G service on my p60 pro

To call a phone an Ultra it should be the best of the best and this certainly isn't, far too many compromises. I'd rather pay a bit more and get a top quality phone
The only Ultra phone I could name is the vivo X100 Ultra The rest is just high end but not flagship, same has Samsung who like Moto also refuse to put an 1Inch sensor in to cut cost.
Are you talking about cameras color accuracy? If so I suggest reading text article on their website. Long story short - it's not something that blows your mind, too bright and artificial looking colors. S24 handles colors better, but S24 has poor telephoto camera and details on main camera are a little worse. Videos on S24 are far better, than Moto ones. IQOO similar to Moto in terms of colors, but has better implementation of telephoto sensor and a little better videos. Nothing phone is not something you should consider when thinking about cameraphone
@@dkdk5486 in general I'm used to think that their articles are close to truth in most cases. They didn't say anything too complementary about Moto cameras. If you think about cameras it's worth buying Vivo X100 Pro or Xiaomi 14. Or you can buy Oppo Find X6 Pro if you will be lucky enough to find it for good price (under $600) - it has one of the best cameras in this budget
I bought this phone edge 50 ultra by seeing its positive reviews on the internet. My primary need was to have a good camera phone however its camera performance disappoints me very much. The deep regret of wasting my hard earned money hunts my mind each time I lift this phone up. Due to the camera app issues 8 out of 10 photos taken on this phone are not sharp. Taking kids photos with this phone is a nightmare, each photo clicked takes ages to process and after processing the photo comes out is not the exact moment I clicked but the one after few seconds. means this is not suitable for taking kids or pets or any constantly moving object's photos. Next is the software update and bugfixes. I am really surprised to see that Motorola isn't bothering to fix major faults even on their flagship phone.
it is insiane the cost of smart phones nowadays with inflation it will only increase its ridiculous and the manufacturers are out of touch with reality. If they want ppl to buy their overpriced weak tech gizmos then they must have reasonable pricing otherwise the masses wont buy their products.
Poco F6 has worst material quality, has worst camera quality, has a worst user interface (imo HyperOS is bad), doesn't have wireless charging and a bit less quality display than the Moto Edge 50 ultra. I'm not gonna say that the Moto is the best choice to buy but it's really a difference between the F6, the Poco is only focused on performance.
@@hfbnett9081 You just forgot to say that the Poco is also almost half the price of the Motorola. There are compromises being made by Poco, but the price is completely different as well.
The night photos are about the best in it's prince class, beating the likes of the S24U in detail. But the Video is straight up 100€ Phone for some reason XD
3 year of general software support and 4 years of security patches.If you want a more predictable updates release time consider buying chinese version of this phone (X50 Ultra)
My advice for all Motorola fans is to wait for the next year model , i curently have the edge 30 ultra and is much better than this year ultra model , especialy the camera setup.
999 € (Euros) in EU Finland 🇫🇮. Edge 50 Ultra will only get 3 Android upgrades and 4 years of software updates. I say only because at this price point it should have been 4+5 years because Samsung and Pixel flagships gets 7 years of updates which is insane (maybe even too long? 🤔)
coming from an Motorola Edge 30U user, the Phone charges slower in summer. The charging speeds are 125W (barely ever happens), the more usual 80W, 60W and 40W depending on the device temperature, if the device temperature (battery)goes higher than 40°C, it will throttle down ro 18W charging, if it goes above 45°C, it goes down to 2.5W. This giges the advantage that my almost 2 Year old Edge 30U still has 94% of it's max Battery capacity as the Phones does nor really allow that overheating damages the battery. While heavy gaming and charging, the phone will stop charging and instead just take as much energy from the cable as the game currently uses. For Sony that's a special feature. My Phone is using the 125W charger around 19/20 Charges.
Daytime video looks very bad totally corrupt now, BUT it can probably be fixed soon with a software update? Motorola must do it otherwise this flagship phone will fail and not sell many units. Nothing makes cameras better with every update so now Motorola will have to do the same!
Moto problem, Poco F6 with same chipset gets around 85% on the stress test although temps of every phone now a days are reaching 40-42 Celsius under synthetic benchmarks.
Well to my experience motorola needs all my respect .why? Because i owned a motog60 and switch to a samsung s 21 ultra both have a 108mgpixel camara but the g60 has more detail when zoomed and when u see both in the same screen the motorola is just a better pic so ....

Whats the difference from yours vs the Ultra in terms of camera specs?
Are you facing lens fogging issue ?
I've just ordered my refurbished s10+ 1TB with expandable storage and headphone jack all for just $200. That's all I need.
then why are you wasting your time here
The s10+ where one of the worst phones I have ever owned. Just so slow and irritating to use even brand new.

If its like last years phone the camera issues will get sorted out with software updates withing a few months of launch
Why do you think they went from last years 165HZ back to 144hz from 2022?
No need to really have it ig(Saves battery life plus those lil seizure warnings shid idk) but they've been doing that with tha Megapixels as well
