While the exact launch of Motorola Edge 50 Neo is still unclear, the company has gone ahead and launched the base model of the series. They say this phone is the slimmest to have a MIL-STD-810H grading. Let's discuss more about the Motorola Edge 50 in this article while also guessing what its price in Nepal might be.

Motorola Edge 50 Overview

Design and Display

The Motorola Edge 50 has the company's standard 2024 design with a seamless camera island on the back. The phone's back panel can either be leather or suede — both of which are vegan options. The Jungle Green and Peach Fuzz will have the former material while the Koala Grey will have the latter. This phone is the slimmest phone with MIL-STD-810H grading at 7.79 mm thin. This means the phone has gone through some extreme durability testing such as high pressure, cold, shock, etc. On top of that, it is also IP68 rated. Moving on to the front, the Motorola Edge 50 has a 6.7-inch pOLED panel with curved edges. This screen offers a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 360Hz touch sampling rate. It stretches 1.5K in resolution, reaches a peak brightness of 1,600 nits, and covers a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut. Additionally, it dons Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for added protection.

Performance

For performance, the Motorola Edge 50 packs the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition. This processor is an overclocked version of the regular Qualcomm chip where the clock speed has been bumped from 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz. Other than that, the rest of the architecture of the chipset is the same. In addition, the phone comes in a single configuration of 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. It is also capable of virtual RAM extension but seems to lack external storage expansion capability. The Motorola Edge 50 offering has a vapour chamber as well to keep things cool and running smoothly. On the software front, it will boot on Android 14 and will receive two and three years of software and security updates respectively.
