A new leak suggests that the Motorola Edge 50 Neo is coming in two variants. Some of the leaked specs include a 50-MP primary camera and a 10-MP telephoto lens.
According to YTECHB's exclusive report, the Edge 50 Neo is expected to undergo a visual refresh compared to its predecessor. Leaked press renders showcase a larger camera module housing a triple camera setup, a departure from the dual camera arrangement of the Edge 40 Neo. Moreover, the curved display of the previous model appears to have been flattened for a more traditional look.
Another thing to take note of about the Edge 50 Neo: it is rumored to sport a 6.4-inch pOLED panel boasting a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and animations. Protection against accidental drops is provided by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
Powering the Edge 50 Neo is said to be a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset paired with a Mali-G615 GPU. Users can choose between two storage and RAM configurations: 8GB RAM with 256GB storage or a more robust 12GB RAM with 512GB storage. Unfortunately, there's no word on microSD card expansion, Phone Arena reports.
Exploring Edge 50 Neo's Camera Specs
Photography enthusiasts can look forward to a triple camera system on the back. The main sensor is rumored to be a 50-megapixel unit, accompanied by a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens for versatile shooting options.
Selfies are handled by a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. For selfie lovers, it's a huge upgrade that is hard to ignore.
Battery Life and Charging For New Motorola Phone
A slight downgrade is anticipated in the battery department, with the Edge 50 Neo packing a 4,310mAh cell compared to the 5,000mAh capacity of its predecessor. While this is a turn-off for users when it comes to battery capability, you don't have to worry about it. Although the battery size is leaked to be smaller, the device is expected to support fast charging to compensate.
Colorways For Edge 50 Neo
Motorola is rumored to offer the Edge 50 Neo in four color variants: Nautical Blue, Latte, Grisaille, and Poinciana. While the official pricing remains undisclosed, the device is expected to hit the market around September, following the release pattern of its predecessor.
Overall, the Motorola Edge 50 Neo promises to be a compelling mid-range smartphone with a focus on design, performance, and camera capabilities. However, the reduced battery capacity compared to its predecessor might be a point of concern for some users.
In other news, Tech Times reported that the iPhone SE 4 will be at par with the unreleased iPhone 16.
