Motorola Edge 50 Ultra Review: Should You Buy in 10 Points

Keval Vachharajani

The Edge 50 Ultra has a wooden finish that looks like the old Moto X. It also comes in other colors, but the wooden one is the best. The wood looks nice and feels good to hold.

Design

The screen produces vibrant colours without being overly saturated and delivers deep blacks, ensuring a rich visual experience. The display’s colour accuracy is impressive, too. 

Display

I was quite impressed with the device’s performance. To quantify that, I ran the CPU throttling test on it. The Edge 50 Ultra achieved 81 per cent of its maximum performance, which is acceptable for a device like this.

Performance

The Edge 50 Ultra runs on the Android 14-based Hello UI out of the box. The software experience on the device is seamless, as expected. There were no pre-installed apps or spammy notifications.

UI

The Edge 50 Ultra’s wide-angle sensor excels in daylight, capturing images with exceptional brightness. However, this brightness occasionally deviates from real-life conditions.

Camera

The Edge 50 Ultra has a 4500mAh battery, which might not sound impressive, but it easily lasts a day on a single charge. In our PCMark battery test, it lasted 14 hours and 14 minutes. 

Battery

The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is a strong contender in the premium smartphone segment, offering a compelling blend of design, performance, and features.
