In the ever-competitive smartphone market, where manufacturers vie for attention with the most powerful processors or the most outrageous camera setups, Motorola has taken a different approach with the Edge 30. This phone prioritizes thinness and lightness, making it a compelling option for users who value portability and comfort. But the Edge 30 isn’t just a skinny phone; it packs a punch in terms of performance, display, and cameras, making it a well-rounded device for everyday use.
Taking Slim to the Extreme
The Edge 30 holds the title of the world’s thinnest 5G smartphone at a mere 6.79mm. This translates to a phone that feels incredibly light in the hand, weighing just 155 grams. Whether you’re slipping it into your pocket or carrying it around all day, the Edge 30 won’t weigh you down. This focus on thinness is complemented by an attractive design with subtle patterns that shimmer when the phone catches the light.
A Display Built for Entertainment
Despite its slim profile, the Edge 30 doesn’t compromise on display quality. It boasts a 6.5-inch pOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. This translates to smooth scrolling, butter-like animations, and a fantastic viewing experience for videos and games. The pOLED technology delivers deep blacks, sharp contrasts, and vivid colors, making everything on the screen pop. Additionally, with support for over a billion colors, the Edge 30 caters to users who demand a rich and immersive visual experience.
Power Under the Hood
The Motorola Edge 30 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ 5G processor. While not the absolute top-of-the-line chip, it offers plenty of performance for everyday tasks, light gaming, and multitasking. The phone comes with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, ensuring smooth operation and the ability to run multiple apps simultaneously. Moreover, the Edge 30 boasts India’s first Snapdragon 778G+ 5G chipset with support for 13 5G bands, making it future-proof for the rollout of next-generation networks.
A Capable Camera System
The Motorola Edge 30 features a triple-camera system on the back, headlined by a 50MP main sensor. This camera captures sharp and detailed images in most lighting conditions. Accompanying the main sensor is an ultrawide sensor for capturing expansive landscapes and group photos, and a macro sensor for getting close-up shots of tiny details. The 32MP front-facing camera ensures high-quality selfies and clear video calls.
Clean Software and Long Battery Life
The Motorola Edge 30 runs Android 12 with a near-stock user experience. This means you get a clean interface free from bloatware, along with the latest features and security patches from Google. The phone is backed by a 4020mAh battery, which should provide a full day’s worth of use for most users. While there’s no wireless charging, the Edge 30 supports fast wired charging to quickly top up the battery when needed.
