Reviews for the Motorola Edge X30

Motorola Edge X30 Review: With Snapdragon 8, 68W Fast Charge
Source: Igeekphone English
Of course, compared with common UI systems, MyUI 3.0 still has subtle differences in operating logic. It still takes time to adapt to the first use, but in addition to the minimalist design and smooth speed, MyUI 3.0 is functional and localized. It has also reached the mainstream level. Blessed are those who like the native-style system. The camera module equipped with Howe OV50A shows a very high level of color reproduction, and the details are also remarkable. Still, when shooting at night, the overall image of the phone is not as brilliant as during the day, and the macro is also satisfactory. Of course, moto edge X30 has such a performance that it is already very rare at this price. In general, moto edge X30 fired the new Snapdragon 8 with its super cost-effective. Still, it is not only cost-effective, but it is also remarkable in terms of screen, performance, camera, and system experience. Motorola is still trustworthy. If you need a great value and balanced flagship phone, the moto edge X30 must not be missed.

Motorola Edge X30 Specifications, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Motorola Edge X30 is a flagship killer phone that was launched in December 2021 with a $650 (Rs 49,000 in India) approx. price tag. Besides this, it’s the first smartphone that comes with a 4nm Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipset under the hood, its performance level is quite high, while the Adreno 730 works pretty decent. Even though the phone offers a 6.7-inches OLED display, the fingerprint is present on the side panel. Despite that, you are getting the best treatment of 144Hz refresh rate, HDR 10+ content, 700 nits display, and many more things. Moreover, you can choose between the under-display camera variant or the normal variant too. In terms of the software layering, Motorola comes up with the Android 12 and MYUI 3.0 that allow users to push the limits of customization while making the bloatware at the bay. However, you won’t find a 3.5 mm jack or secondary storage here, but the NFC enable features and robust 5G connectivity saves the day. The camera section offers decent photos with a 50MP primary and 50MP ultrawide shooter, and also got a 2MP macro.

6.70":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
