Reviews for the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra
Motorola has unleashed a potential bargain in the high-end segment in the Edge 30 Ultra: a 200 MP triple camera, fast SoC, strong battery, good update supply, and all that for less than US$ 900. What could possibly go wrong?

The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra is a successful return to the flagship fold for the brand, offering a stylish handset with a fine display, strong performance, and one of the cleanest and most pleasant-to-use UIs around. The camera set-up is merely adequate, but Motorola goes above and beyond with its wired and wireless charging provision.

The Edge 30 Ultra’s cameras might not be the show-stoppers that Motorola may have wanted them to be, but it’s hard to look upon them too disfavourably when the whole package is this much of a success. Performance easily keeps up with phones that cost several hundreds more, the battery will see you comfortably into a second day of use and even when it does run out, the blisteringly fast charging will have it back to full in no time at all. If you fancy yourself a photographer, you may be better served spending an extra £100 and getting the Google Pixel 7 Pro – the cameras are outstanding, and the rest of the package is competitive for the price. Otherwise, the Edge 30 Ultra is the only place you need to look for a powerful and affordable flagship phone. It’s a hell of a comeback for Motorola and should have the market’s heavy hitters quaking in their boots for 2023.

If you’re looking for a 2022 Motorola handset that doesn’t make compromises, the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra is the one you’ve been waiting for. Whether you’re chasing an elegant design, a shedload of grunt, a premium screen or a fantastic camera, the Edge 30 Ultra doesn’t disappoint. That IP52 rating is the only real sticking point. It’s worth noting that the rest of the Edge 30 range is basically pared-back versions of the Ultra, so if you value some of the Ultra’s premium features but not others, you might find a better fit elsewhere with a cheaper price tag. If you value the camera above all else, the Ultra is head and shoulders above the rest from Motorola. Of course, if you’re prepared to drop $1,399 on the Edge 30 Ultra, you’re also getting up into the same territory as the Google Pixel 7 Pro, the standard Samsung Galaxy S22 and even powerhouses like the Asus Zenfone 9. The Edge 30 Ultra deserves to be amid such illustrious company, but you’ll need to do your research before taking the plunge.

The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra is Motorola's most advanced smartphone. It looks chic, is made of premium materials, runs on the latest Qualcomm processor, has a beautiful curved screen and a set of three cameras with a main 200MP sensor, charges at 125W. And it still falls short of the full-fledged "ultras" from other manufacturers in a number of little things. But definitely worth a look, especially with the current discounts!

The 200MP sensor, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, 12GB RAM and pOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate make the Edge 30 Ultra a very compelling package. On paper, it is a perfect phone and in the real world too it does not disappoint. The performance is on par with other flagships, the camera too can handle versatile scenarios and the display is just one of the best in this price range. If you happen to be a regular user who uses your phone for work and play, the Edge 30 Ultra makes a good case for itself. However, it’s the camera that Motorola needs to tune better to help it reach its full potential. If you are fascinated by the whole 200MP camera thing, then you should definitely be considering this. But it’s just the Edge 30 Ultra is more than just a camera phone. It’s a complete package which won’t disappoint you.

The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra is the Lenovo-owned mobile manufacturer’s best bid for an absolute top mobile in recent times. In particular, the towering performance, long battery life and fast charging lift the overall impression significantly. Moreover, the Edge 30 Ultra is stylishly and elegantly designed, and although it doesn’t use the very latest technologies to protect the phone, it is well protected against scratches and glass damage, as well as being dust and splash-proof. The screen is nice and bright, while the fast refresh rate ensures a smooth user experience. So you can live with the fact that the screen resolution could have been higher. Unfortunately, the camera drags down the overall rating. Ambitions have clearly been high, but perhaps Motorola should consider following in the footsteps of Xiaomi and OnePlus, who have both allied themselves with camera experts from Leica and Hasselblad respectively. This has given the two manufacturers’ flagship products a boost that Motorola could also do with. If anything, it would have guaranteed the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra our absolute top rating if the image quality had been better. Now it has to ‘settle’ for our second best score and a special warm recommendation.

As you can tell by reading this review, Motorola Edge 30 Ultra appears to be a full flagship and a true high-end smartphone for the public. It looks stunning, has a fantastic camera system, and is a powerhouse in terms of performance as well as charging speed. However, no phone is perfect, and Motorola must address their flaws. Battery life could have been better. The curved display panel and sharp edges of the Edge 30 Ultra make it uncomfortable to hold. Overall, you get almost everything you could want from a premium Android smartphone. This phone is easily recommendable because Motorola has gone above and beyond in every department.

Despite the camera issues and uncertainty of security and Android OS updates being an issue with Motorola, the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack and expandable storage, the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra does offer some high end features and specs without needing to spend $2000+ on a similar device. The performance offered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform Processor certainly is the outstanding winner here, followed by the cameras both front and rear in daylight or the right lighting scenarios makes the Moto Edge 30 Ultra worthy of at least some consideration. The Moto Edge 30 Ultra can be purchased from major retailers such as JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Officeworks, Big W, Mobileciti and Lenovo.com for $1,399.

The Edge 30 Ultra is a surprisingly excellent flagship from Motorola, with top specs all around and only few flaws. Performance is as good as it gets, battery life is excellent, and the software excels too. At this price, it’s a steal.

We have it, guys. Motorola has finally released a true premium smartphone for the masses. The only problem is it isn’t coming to North America. With its rather appealing price, the Edge 30 Ultra reminds me of the OnePlus philosophy from a couple of years ago, which was basically, to give the people flagship specs while undercutting your rivals. The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has an excellent camera system, and beautiful looks, and is a beast when it comes to performance and charging speeds. Still, some compromises had to be made for this phone to be as affordable as it is. For example, the display is good, but not excellent, and the materials used are nice, but not the most premium out there. These are small but noticeable disadvantages. The curved display and sharp side rails of the Edge 30 Ultra automatically mean it isn’t going to be to everyone’s taste design-wise. This isn’t a phone that’s comfortable to hold. You can fix that by buying a more rugged case, but the display will still be prone to accidental touches. Let’s hope these get to a minimum with a future software update from Motorola.

The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra smartphone can compete with the 2022 and comes out as an all-rounder deal if you overlook some of the minor factors such as the telephoto, and the ultra-wide lens doesn’t offer 4K recording. Anyway, the camera setup doesn’t have glare issues and has a tag of the first 200MP lens smartphone. Alongside this, the charging speed is pretty good. Moving to the performance section, the overall usage is well-defined. On the other hand, the stock android with custom features makes the user interface more interesting to use. Though accident touches are visible due to the curved display, the phone doesn’t have a proper IP rating on the phone. But, the Edge 30 Ultra is the best smartphone offered by Motorola, a great deal in the Indian smartphone market. If you are in search of alternative options, you can check out the OnePlus 10 Pro for its overall best performance and better gaming experience with good camera quality. Aside from this, there’s also the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus 5G which brings astounding customization options and 4years of software updates with flagship-level protection.

I've found using Motorola's Edge 30 Ultra to be a general joy from start to finish, thanks to a generally great main camera (focus issues ignored anyway), stacks of power on tap, and a curve-edge screen that, while it won't be for everyone, does give the device added visual flair. It'll make for a solid Samsung Galaxy S22 alternative for many given the very fair asking price.

It took Motorola a lot of time and top-of-the-line specs to do a phone that is simply good in almost all the crucial ways. The Edge 30 Ultra is the first Motorola phone I can recommend as a good alternative to the likes of a Samsung Galaxy S22, or the iPhone 14, with no depressing clauses. It has a fast and efficient chip, a nice display, a pleasant Android experience, a good set of cameras, decent battery life and convenient quick charging. The biggest change? It looks awesome – a first for a Motorola phone over the last few years (barring the 2019 Razr). Surely, there are imperfections and Motorola needs to work on them. The 200MP camera has more potential to be tapped, especially at night. Battery life could have been better too, and I wish Motorola launched it with Android 13 out of the box. But then you consider the price of Rs. 59,999 and the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra suddenly seems like a great deal. In fact, the early sale price of Rs. 54,999 makes it a steal! And this is a much better phone than the iQOO 9T, as well as all those cut-price flagship phones.

The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra feels as complete a flagship as the firm has produced in years. The previous-gen model had most hardware boxes ticked, but this one-ups it with superior fast charging, a huge pixel count camera, and a more streamlined design that elevates it above Moto’s more wallet-friendly models. You’re getting almost everything you’d want from a high-end phone, only without the stratospheric price. Waterproofing and expandable storage are the only real grumbles, with slimline software and slick multitasking modes going a way to make up for it. As an alternative choice to the usual big hitters, it’s a seriously tempting one.

But for all that's not quite up to scratch, there's a lot to like about the Edge 30 Ultra. Outside of its video peculiarities, the camera system doesn't have glaring flaws, so long as you didn't expect miracles from 'the first 200MP camera'. The display is bright, fluid, and just the right amount of adaptive; battery life is top-notch where that display is involved, and charging speed is among the fastest we've seen from standard USB PowerDelivery peripherals. The Moto is rocking a nicely complete software package, too - stock look, custom features, PC-like capability, and 3 OS updates. All things considered, the Edge 30 Ultra gets a cautious recommendation from us. It's not the best value, especially not in Europe at MSRP, where the Galaxy S22+ is offering more bang for as much buck, but the right discount down the line could very well tip those scales. In India, on the other hand, it's looking like a proper deal.

The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra's competition currently includes smartphones such as the iQoo 9T 5G and the OnePlus 10T 5G (Review), both of which also use the same Qualcomm SoC. We also have slightly older devices from this year such as Xiaomi's 12 Pro (Review). The Edge 30 Ultra manages to hold its own thanks to some unique features that aren't available on other competing devices such as the 200-megapixel camera, a 144Hz OLED display, and an official IP rating. At the Rs. 59,999 sticker price, Motorola appears to have given everything one could hope for in the Edge 30 Ultra, on paper anyway, but can all of these features deliver a better flagship experience? Stay tuned for my full review which will be out soon on Gadgets360. Motorola also launched its new premium mid-range smartphone, the Edge 30 Fusion, and you can read our first impressions of it right here.

As flagship phones go, the Moto Edge 30 Ultra certainly ticks all the right boxes on paper. It's got a top tier processor, lots of RAM and storage, a high-refresh HDR10+ display and strong-sounding camera system. Motorola's problem with the Edge 30 Ultra might not be a problem with the phone itself. Instead, Motorola has built a reputation for building good, affordable budget and mid-range phones and so its flagships are something of an unknown entity. It has a released a couple in recent years, but they haven't really set the world alight with enthusiasm. What we like most about the Edge 30 Ultra is actually its design. Moto didn't join other manufacturers in releasing a heavy, flat-edged premium device. Instead, its curving on the front and back mean it's nice to hold and feels a lot more compact than it is. Combine that with super fast performance, 144Hz refresh screen and stupidly quick 125W charging and you get a highly capable phone that's not a burden to carry and use every day.

It's too soon to tell whether or not the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra can live up to the promise shown in this brief hands-on – the figures are certainly impressive, but only testing will show if all those megapixels and milliamps will have the goods where it counts. The same can be said for the Fusion and the Neo, with the issue there being whether they’ve jettisoned too many quality-of-life features to stand out in the mid-range market. Still, there’s a lot to like about these phones at first glance, and we’ll be digging into the rest in the coming weeks to find out if there’s anything to be concerned about. Check back soon to see our full reviews, and which of the Edge 30 devices we think is the best value overall.

For many years now, Motorola has either been avoiding the flagship phones scene completely, or faint-heartedly dipping its toes and failing to make a noticeable dent. It seems, though, that there is a new light in the tunnel — the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra! Unlike the Edge Plus (2022), the Edge 30 Ultra has much more going for it when it comes to justifying its premium price tag that starts at 899.99 euros. From a brand new design that gives the phone a slick and smart look, to high-end specs making it work as a 2022 flagship should.

The high-end segment could use some spicing up and the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has potential to do so. The 200MP main camera will help the marketing team, but it can prove useful too - more thanks to the sensor's size and what the binning can bring rather the sheer resolution. The telephoto camera reach is rather short, but there is a tele at least, and the autofocusing ultrawide is a most welcome sight. Of course, the 144Hz display is a nice touch, we just need to see how it fares when it comes to brightness and color. The 125W charging is similarly eye-catching on paper but that too needs some level-headed testing and let's not forget battery life. We're expecting solid performance from the latest Snapdragon, and we got nicely stable results under prolonged loads too from past Motos - particularly nice if you're going to make use of the desktop PC functionality of the Edge 30 Ultra. We'll elaborate on all these and more in the full review, so stay tuned.

Motorola Edge 30 Ultra
After a long wait, Motorola has finally lifted the curtain on its long-awaited Motorola Edge 30 Ultra which is a premium flagship that boasts several standout features designed to give the likes of Apple and Samsung a run for their money. In terms of its design, the front screen of the device is slightly curved to the frame and the single punch hole on the screen looks really neat. And if the front screen of the Edge 30 Ultra is placed side by side with that of the iPhone 14 Pro, 95% of the time, one might prefer the front screen of the Edge 30 Ultra. Apart from that, the back panel design is also very simple but elegant. There is also a small camera module on the top left corner of the back panel but it does not protrude much hence. This phone is made of a Glass front (Gorilla Glass 5), glass back (Gorilla Glass 5), and aluminium frame. While these might be solid, durable and water- repellent materials, the phone itself is not certified to be IP68 water and dustproof. However, setting the IP68 disappointment aside, the frame, back panel, and front screen of the device are indeed solid.
As far as its display is concerned, this model has been incorporated with a curved 6.7-inch 1080p OLED display coupled with a 144Hz refresh rate. It also supports HDR10+, and has a peak brightness of 1250nits. While the display is not very bright under direct sunlight, it is still usable. Overall, the display is rather smooth, fast, and very responsive. In terms of its performance, the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has been equipped with the Qualcomm's top Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, which is the same one that powers Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 foldables. This chipset brings a whole new level of power and efficiency to Android phones as it is power efficient, has fast CPU cores, and has a very powerful GPU. This chipset allows the users to play games for a long time without issues. Furthermore, since it is very power efficient, even after playing games for a long time, the phone does not get hot, does not throttle, and does drop frame rates quickly.
In addition to that, the Edge 30 Ultra also comes with a 125W fast charging power adapter in the box, allowing its 4,600mAh battery to go from 0-50% in just seven minutes, and to fully charge in around 12-15 minutes. Furthermore, it is also worth noting that the device sports 50W wireless fast charging and 10W power sharing capabilities. As for the camera, this is the world's first 200MP main camera on a smartphone, which is joined by a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 12MP telephoto lens. The lenses were found to exhibit great detail, even when zooming in at far away objects. Overall, it is a great phone worth exploring.
