Motorola has officially introduced the Motorola Edge 50, the base model in its Edge 50 lineup, even though the launch timeline of the Edge 50 Neo remains unclear. What immediately sets this phone apart is Motorola’s claim that it is the slimmest smartphone with MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification. Let’s take a closer look at the design, performance, cameras, and expected price of the Motorola Edge 50 in Nepal.
Motorola Edge 50 Overview
Design and Display
The Motorola Edge 50 follows the brand’s refined 2024 design language, featuring a seamless camera island that blends smoothly into the back panel. Motorola is also continuing its eco-friendly approach, offering the phone in vegan leather and vegan suede finishes.
- Jungle Green and Peach Fuzz variants come with a vegan leather back
- Koala Grey features a soft vegan suede finish
Despite being just 7.79mm thin, the Edge 50 doesn’t compromise on durability. It is certified with MIL-STD-810H, meaning it has passed rigorous tests for shock, pressure, and extreme temperatures. Additionally, the phone is IP68-rated, offering solid protection against dust and water.
On the front, the device sports a 6.7-inch curved pOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 360Hz touch sampling rate. The screen delivers a sharp 1.5K resolution (2712 × 1220), reaches 1,600 nits peak brightness, and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 provides extra protection against scratches and drops.
Performance and Software
Powering the Motorola Edge 50 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition, an overclocked version of the standard chipset with clock speeds boosted from 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz. While the architecture remains the same, the extra performance helps with smoother multitasking and gaming.
The phone is available in a single configuration:
- 8GB LPDDR4X RAM
- 256GB UFS 2.2 storage
Motorola also includes RAM Boost (virtual RAM) support, though there’s no option for expandable storage. To maintain consistent performance, the Edge 50 is equipped with a vapour chamber cooling system.
On the software side, it runs on Android 14 out of the box. Motorola has promised two years of Android OS updates and three years of security patches, which is decent for a mid-range device.
Camera and Other Features
The Motorola Edge 50 offers a versatile triple camera setup:
- 50MP primary camera with Sony LYT-700C sensor
- 13MP ultrawide/macro camera with a 120° field of view
- 10MP telephoto lens with up to 3× optical zoom
For selfies and video calls, there’s a 32MP front-facing camera placed in a center-aligned punch-hole cutout. Motorola also adds several AI-powered enhancements under the “Moto AI” branding to improve photography and user experience.
Fueling the device is a 5,000mAh battery, which supports:
- 68W fast wired charging
- 15W wireless charging
The phone also features Smart Connect and Moto Connect, allowing seamless connectivity with PCs, TVs, and other compatible devices.
