These phones are going to be a revival for Motorola. Great phones. Could be my next smartphone as well.

A smart choice to use previous flagship chipset for current midranger, if the overheating issue is solved. Motorola deserves a little more recognition.

the snapdragon 865 is said to be good for heat management

Helpful review. I especially appreciated that time spent analyzing its photo shots. It seems like this Edge offers significant improvements taking pics of people's faces. Past versions were lacking.

[@petrisalonen4893]

Motorola is now a true TOP player✌️. To me this and all 3 new Motorola Edge phones (Neo, Fusion, Ultra) are miles ahead and many times more exciting than all OnePlus, Realme and Xiaomi offerings in 2022. I'll probably buy the fantastic looking purple coloured Edge Neo which is the cheapest of the three models at 399 Euros.

[@MrChristocentric]

Me too, mr. Salonen. I also live in Finland and was looking at Neo :) my color of choice is still black though

[@Max791-z7l]

neo better than this edge 30 fusion?🤔suggest me too

[@MrChristocentric]

@@Max791-z7l smaller, flat display, wireless charging, probably better cameras

[@Sujay95]

Top player? All of their phones are overpriced af. Lol 399 euros for Edge 30 Neo with SD695 chipset, no headphone jack, no gyro, no microSD? Are you fucking kidding me? Moto G82 is a better value for money in every way and has all those features that edge 30 neo doesn't.

[@Max791-z7l]

@@Sujay95 than moto G82 this new fusion 30 is much better but yes it pricy but its way better than oneplus phones I guess

[@BrianMillsSkills]

I'm honestly impressed with the range of Edge 30's Motorola has just put out, on paper they seem like a really strong set regardless of what price range you are targeting. Something for everyone with the impressive installments of the Neo for budget range devices, the Fusion for the mid range market and the Ultra for those wanting something high end as a flagship phone. The fusion looks like the most bang for your buck in terms of being fairly well rounded as a phone, not least given Motorola have it £100 off on their website right now, but really interested to see what the Ultra can do with that camera set up.

[@Vmt16]

I bought this phone and I really like it. It feels premium, looks premium and has great stuff going for it. Cameras are decent, performance is good, battery life is good, fingerprint scanner is excellent, the dual speakers are fantastic and just overall, a really solid package. I recommend it.

[@nir6njan]

are there any overheating problems like others say??

[@yasseindahshan3556]

​@@nir6njan Not for me. Only when fast charging and even then it doesn't heat up that much and it says that it will heat during fast charging so it is not unexpected.

[@nir6njan]

[@_CRiT_hits_]

Actually blown away by the camera samples 😯. I actually really like they leave the images noisy!! Looks a bit like a film or Leica sensor.

[@vaibhavrathi8624]

ticks all the boxes i need, curved screen, 144 hz, stock android and good pricing

[@anglo-saxonconnor817]

Motorola deserve to be bigger. In the past they have a line of moto rokr phones that was the first to be compatible with itunes before iphone was born. Back then apple only have ipods if you want to listen to itunes. Those were fun days to remember by.

[@parshakamarsh]

One of the worst companies going regarding software updates and security patches

[@LangToBhai]

@@parshakamarsh android updates are bad but not the security ones, they come very frequently, bug free and also install in the background while using the phone.

Motorola phones have a good business and corporate look to their phones. It go well with a suit or formal office wear unlike other brand where it might sometimes be too glittery and colourful.

Had to opt for the Motorola S30 Pro. The U.S. Fusion roll out is taking very long. This is a great alternative to other mid size U.S. offerings. The 888 chip runs great, battery life is excellent and it feels premium. I'm glad I imported this.

It's better to get the CN version over the Global Rom one because the latter doesn't support Netflix or Hulu. Everything works on the CN model once you install the Playstrore.

[@joaquinfsiles]

This is the best Pixel 6A alternative. The only concern here is the software support which Motorola is not good at.

As a current owner of the Viva Magenta version of this phone, it's a stark improvement over Moto's I've owned in the past. Snappy is an understatement, this phone is incredibly fast, and also 5G capable. I don't go expensive normally, but it's definitely worth the price

Beautiful phone, maybe I will get the red one eventually...

[@kpehe100]

I'm finding it hard to agree with your audio test results. Those with lower ratings sometimes sound better than the better ones. On your website you rated the Motorola edge 30 fusion better over the pixel 7 but when I play them right from there the pixel is louder and fuller than the Motorola. I had the same experience with Vivo X60 Pro, a very tiny single audio speaker with a high rating on your website but when I bought it I could not hear anything from it from five meters away in my very quiet apartment. Similar things with the Vivo X80 Pro, dual speakers but very quiet. Can you also include KZbin video audio in your test? That's the place we're more often

[@ivanpopov1016]

Bough it for my mom, since her Redmi 5 was getting pretty old and sluggish. I was looking for something with a fast CPU and 8gb ram, so that it can last 3-4 years. I think I made the right choice.

I always wondered why companies are not using recent flagship chipset. Its an absolute smart choice to go for last year's top processor to lower the price. Even SD 855 & 860 are far better & more capable than SD 700 series in 2022. Motorola did the same thing and produced the best flagship killer. RIP OnePlus..
