With the release of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, there is a 6. 7 inches phone, which gives it an impression of being slightly less than your average big flagship due to its rounded edges. In terms of size, the new devices are not that much smaller than the Edge 40 Pro model that Samsung released a year earlier, measuring 161. 1 x 72. 4 x 8. 6 mm.
It is certainly not as heavy as some of the rivals, and has a weight of 197g, which, for comparison, is around 35g lighter than the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, among others.
Looking at the design of the picture, it is not quite traditional. Actually we have now for Motorola Edge 50 Ultra review The Edge 50 Ultra with the light wooden back, you also have a black model with the faux leather at the back, while the third bronze colored model with glass on the back is available in some markets only.
We appreciate that more options in terms of both colors and materials are available, and we would love to see more flagships provided with the same number of choices.
Speaking of the back, we have noted that the company has changed the camera housing which appeared to be a little awkward on the previous generations of the phone. Now it is more organized as if it is a sheet that hides some of the regions where the camera island is located.
The frame of the phone is of aluminum, and not even some special substance such as titanium.
As always typical with Motorola and particularly so when it comes to their typical high end phones the unboxing experience is quite impressive. It is bundled with a 125W charger and a USB-C cable for initial use and a case to protect it from impact right out the box. One drawback worth mentioning here is that the phone does not come with a screen protector preinstalled.
Yes, the Edge 50 Ultra (as well as other devices in the Edge 50 series) has a curved screen, which differs it from many other premium smartphones as the majority of them have flat screens. Of course, this is somewhat subjective, but an edge display does seem appropriate for phones with the word ‘edge’ in their name.
On the front, you enjoy a 1220 x 2712 pixels OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. You’ll also get coverage for HDR10+ content (no Dolby Vision support). All forms of content that went on this display were enjoyable and we especially liked the fact that we could use it in places where the weather was warm because it was bright.
