Finally the review I've been waiting for😅.
I have been using moto edge 30 pro since last 2 years and my phone is still running on Android 13. I get security patches every 3 months but without any bug fixes. Over last two years my phone received only 1 Android upgrade and 8 security patches. Most of the bugs are still present even after all these upgrades. There is no HDR support in KZread and Netflix even though they claimed the screen supports HDR+. Moto really doesn't support their devices in a long run.

I agree, I'm ok with the delay updates but the problem with Moto is that they have bugs in the updates that no one talks and Moto don't even fix them. I had Moto edge 30 pro, which had screen flickering issue with Auto refresh mode and had network connection issue, Moto didn't even acknowledge these issue and not even fixed it for ~1 year. I don't trust Moto when it comes to updates.

actually this is the first phone where im really convinced that the colors are true to life. when you take a shot with your dslr, it often looks flat. that's the look I like coz sometimes I also like it natural and also if you want to edit a photo, a flat, true to life color is the easiest to tinker with.
I've just ordered my refurbished s10+ 1TB with expandable storage and headphone jack all for just $200. That's all I need.

Bring this to the US market, drop the price a bit and its a solid contender. Not using the 8 gen 3 will turn away some people though.
May I ask how many years of software support and security patches does Motorola Edge 50 Ultra have?

to be honest, the prize of this mobile is so exaggerated. but... for the next year. it would be a purchase
Edge 30 ultra took better videos than that? Can you also review raw capture in edge 50 ultra?, atleast for photos
Can you do a comparison with Oneplus 12?
In order for this to be a good buy i feel like it has to undercut the oneplus 12 in price by a decent margin.

999 € (Euros) in EU Finland 🇫🇮. Edge 50 Ultra will only get 3 Android upgrades and 4 years of software updates. I say only because at this price point it should have been 4+5 years because Samsung and Pixel flagships gets 7 years of updates which is insane (maybe even too long? 🤔)

I love the design of the moto phones, but the software part is really a failure
The main problem with this phone is the launch price. In the UK it's the same price as the OnePlus 12 which is better in almost every department! But, we all know it will be heavily reduced in a few months, and I'd say for 600ish pounds this looks a good phone.
Can it capture the moon?

coming from an Motorola Edge 30U user, the Phone charges slower in summer. The charging speeds are 125W (barely ever happens), the more usual 80W, 60W and 40W depending on the device temperature, if the device temperature (battery)goes higher than 40°C, it will throttle down ro 18W charging, if it goes above 45°C, it goes down to 2.5W. This giges the advantage that my almost 2 Year old Edge 30U still has 94% of it's max Battery capacity as the Phones does nor really allow that overheating damages the battery. While heavy gaming and charging, the phone will stop charging and instead just take as much energy from the cable as the game currently uses. For Sony that's a special feature. My Phone is using the 125W charger around 19/20 Charges.
Again why the curved screen, oh God. Can't they make a variant with a flat screen?
Flagship phone and three year updates in 2024 not justify...
Just not worthy tho. 955 U$ ? With an non LPTO tech, only 3 only year of OS updates, a bad camera software and an Snapdragon 8s gen 3 ? For that high price? Just.. no, motorola.

Why telling lies 8s gen 3 is not better than 8 gen 2 in any as seen in ur antutu scores... It's just between 8gen 1 and 8 gen 2 AND the throttling is miserable...
Without latest chipset and a Jumbo battery they're calling it Ultra just because of pricing. With edge 50 series Moto just made some serious wrong decisions.
