Our Verdict
Motorola has done a fine job with this mid-ranger that will tick most boxes for most people. However, the OnePlus Nord 4 is only slightly more expensive at full price and a better choice overall.

Motorola has been very busy in 2024, releasing phones at a wide range of different price points.
Sitting in the middle are its mid-range phone offerings, which include Edge 50 Neo. At £399 in the UK at launch, it’s moving into the company of some serious big hitters like the OnePlus Nord 4 and Google Pixel 8a.
Can Motorola still have an ‘Edge’ in the face of such competition? I switched to the Edge 50 Neo to find out.
Design & Build
Colourful, compact frame
Plastic build
IP68 water and dust protection rating
Motorola has decided to be bold with its design choices on the Edge 50 Neo, which I think is a fantastic approach.
Gone are the boring muted tones of other manufacturers, and instead there’s a collaboration with colour specialists Pantone which delivers some fun and cool-looking liveries. The rear panel is a soft, textured vegan leather that affords more grip than on pretty much any other modern phone, with the metal frame also matched with a shinier version of the tones.
