Motorola Edge 50 Ultra Review | As 'Ultra' as Samsung?

Reviewing the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, the most premium Moto flagship smartphone in 2024 packing a 50MP Omnivision camera and respectable specs. I've been testing the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra as my full-time phone for a week so here's my thoughts on the gaming chops, battery life etc.

Check out my reviews of other Moto rivals, including the OnePlus 12, Pixel 8 Pro and Nothing Phone 2.

So if you're after one of the best camera phones in 2024, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra shouldn't be your first choice. It's great at capturing still life photos at any time of day, but living subjects pose a problem. And while gamers will be happy with the Genshin Impact performance, this blower doesn't serve up Qualcomm's most powerful SD 8 Gen 3 power.

Battery life is great though and I still love the Motorola Edge 50 Pro's stock Android vibes. Those Moto apps are generally worthy additions, boosting the usability. And I have few complaints with the slick pOLED screen and stereo speakers. Motorola has even chucked on 1TB of storage!

So are you tempted by the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra? Let us know your thoughts below!

Hi Tech Spurt, Thanks for the review I tend to watch your unboxing and reviews over others as I like the humour and your reviews are honest!

I've had the iphonr 15 pro, galaxy s24 ultra, and pixel 8 pro, and can honestly say i prefer this Motorola ultra to any of them, only downside is software updates by the way i love your video's if i feel a bit down i watch one of your videos and they mske me laugh and i feel a lot better, keep it up buddy(no pun intended)

[kristiansully]

Absolutely love your videos mate, top notch 🔥 Some of the things you come out with ... I'm laughing my head off, cracking banter 👌

[franklingoodwin]

Nothing "Ultra" about the software support Motorola offer

[LenaCrochets-ox]

Am using edge 20lite two years now and I can proudly say Motorola smartphones are the best

Sony 1vi review coming up anytime soon Chris?

[Dreamlink]

Dude has heavier accent than my post protein poop. He always gets me with those amazing wallpapers, best phone review chanel. Joke aside, I rly like your stuff. I am in dilema for a week now between S23, A55, or something like Motorola that I never had.

You finally give us the source of your iconic anime wallpapers... You either had too much whisky or that beer from the homebrew machine is finally getting to your head

Moto Edge 2022 user here. There is a bit of a learning curve and tweaking of features involved but when you tune it, it's absolutely ace. 9+ hours screen on time daily with Bluetooth on constantly. Would I get another? Absolutely. They're quirky and a bit annoying until you get it just so but the value for money is astounding. Ready for is wicked for connecting to literally any smart tv and boom you're a desktop

Oh and peek display works perfectly

[ANDREWHALL]

Stupid question but people who want android updates, does anybody really notice the difference, im still on 13 can't see the difference between that and the previous 2 🤷‍♂️

[X-G]

Would you be doing a long-term review after some updates? I wanna see if Motorola patches things up.

[dynastes]

Keep in mind that "just under a week" of usage is not enough to have the battery reach its full potential. The phone is just getting to know you.

With regard to the blurred photos of moving subjects, was the 'Action Shot' option (represented by a symbol of a running figure on the screen ) switched on?

[Paulex]

SD 8s gen 3 at that price is a robbery. Should've been 8 gen 3

I purchased the Edge 50 Pro from Voxi today for £331.20 (spread interest free over two years - £13.80 per month). I hope I don't regret it. I have had a couple of Motorola phones in the past and really liked them and then moved on to a couple of Redmi phones. I can never bring myself to spend too much on a phone so always end up with a mid range phone. I just hope the camera is is better on the Edge 50 Pro than my Redmi Note 10.

... I have an edge 30 fusion and the peek display often stops working and only shows the finger print reader ...
