    My original phone broke a week ago, and thanks to that, I bought it quickly at a good price. Thank you very much.

  • nuttapillar on 22/08/2023 - 01:57

    This is tempting. Better than Pixel 7 pro?

      https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=11206&idPhone…

      See above for an in depth comparison.

      From a quick look

      30 Ultra vs 7 Pro

      Weight of phone < Ultra
      Screen brightness < Pro
      CPU = Debatable
      Screen size < Pro (Just)
      PPI for screen < Pro
      Camera < Ultra
      Camera software < Pro
      Battery size < Pro
      Battery life in use < Ultra
      Charging speed < Ultra
      Performance < Ultra
      Screen strength < Pro

      Ultra = 5 wins (Imo)
      Pro = 6 wins (Imo)

      TLDR: depends what you value more in your phone

      • Puffy Vulva on 22/08/2023 - 09:19

        Does the pixel still have modem issues?
        The tensor chip also using crappy Samsung 5nm which is why battery life is so bad
        I think it comes down to whether you use the Google photos app a lot hehe

        • TerryJustTerry on 22/08/2023 - 11:24

          Not sure sorry !

        • Bunnyburger on 22/08/2023 - 18:52

          Compared to all the smartphones I've owned in my life, Pixel has the weakest reception.

        • CheepCheap on 22/08/2023 - 20:31

          I run Pro 7 dual SIM, two different carriers. Both SIM occasionally drop service simultaneously and get an ! Next to signal strength. Requires aeroplane mode cycle on/off to recover. If you don't notice it, callers can't get through to you. Plenty of similar reports from others.

          This is my third Pixel Pro 7. First was replaced with factory refurb unit that had green screen fault after about 3-4: months. Green screen phone was replaced by JB with current phone, a brand new retail unit, which has faulted 3-4 times in 8 days. First unit would drop reception every 15-30 mins before it was replaced so I guess this one is better.

          JB service is really good. Google support is rubbish.

          I was really happy with the Pixel Pro 7 until the faults started and I had to deal with Google Device Support. As a phone manufacturer Google makes a good search engine.

    • leiiv on 22/08/2023 - 11:10

      No. Pixel supports eSim and has IP68 rating. Both the edge 30 models do not.

  • Alohana on 22/08/2023 - 02:07

    This or pixel 6a?

    • easylife on 22/08/2023 - 02:49

      meh i had $200 jbhifi vouchers, the 30 Neo looks really decent for the price.

      • macrocephalic on 22/08/2023 - 09:39
        +1

        It is really decent. I bought it on the jbhifi deal a couple of weeks back. The only things I don't like are: no SD slot (they should have put microSD instead of the second sim), no headphone jack, no tele camera lens, no hdmi via USB-C. Battery life is great. Speed is good enough (I don't play fancy games), light weight, fingerprint scanner works well (unlike Samsung), has a really good macro camera, not too much bloatware.

  • Ronnnie on 22/08/2023 - 04:29

    Don't these models have Android 13 yet?

    • 898agm on 22/08/2023 - 05:50

      My Edge 30 Neo got the Android 13 update already-purchased mine at JB back in July.

      • Bllue78 on 28/08/2023 - 15:53

        Hi there did you get the low call volume issue via bluetooth connection? Thanks!

    • kanu666 on 22/08/2023 - 07:32

      They do have Android 13

      • Ronnnie on 22/08/2023 - 10:59

        Thanks. Just going by the deal stating they should receive Android 13 and expected to receive Android 13. I know Motorola is bad on software support but i didn't think they could possibly be a year behind.

        • trixieb on 23/08/2023 - 13:24

          Still waiting for Android 13 on three Neo phones

  • EightImmortals on 22/08/2023 - 06:27

    Are there newer models coming out?
    Don't really need one right but tossing up top get a Neo as a spare if my LG V30+ gives up or wait until that happens and see what's about then. I hate indecision…or do I?

    • Maths Debater on 22/08/2023 - 08:21

      It’s been replaced by the Edge 40 which is currently available. The LG V30+ was a great phone, I would personally hold onto it until you need to replace it.

    • shxhshzhz on 22/08/2023 - 11:36

      edge 40 pro, neo, fusion and ultra are not in australia yet, and not sure if all models will be released here. Even if it does, the new models won't be half price for a while. strong option as a spare

      • EightImmortals on 22/08/2023 - 12:55

        Cheers, I'm more concerned about having the battery sitting unused for a couple of years or more than anything else.

  • Three on 22/08/2023 - 06:39

    My sons phone broke and he wanted me to pick up the samsung galaxy A14 but this looks to have better specs and a better price. I'm leaning towards the 30 Neo.

    • shxhshzhz on 22/08/2023 - 11:42
      +2

      neo is better in every way except battery life but it can still last more than one day. E.g. it has an OLED 120Hz screen vs 90Hz LCD, better camera with OIS and a slightly better chip. It also has double the RAM of the A14 so is much more futureproof

  • aiyoyo on 22/08/2023 - 07:19

    How this phone camera like comparing to Pixel 7 or iPhone 14?

    • kanu666 on 22/08/2023 - 07:34
      +1

      Camera is probably not the best. Some people install GCam to make it slightly better.
      So if you really need great camera buy something different.

    • Buyingcrap on 22/08/2023 - 07:35
      +2

      Worse obviously. It's 1/3rd the price of the pixel and 1/5th the price if the iPhone.

    • greatlamp on 22/08/2023 - 08:41

      As others have pointed out it obviously won't be as good as a flagship. The weaknesses will derive from the sensor and the software that drives it. In focus shots with good lighting will look great, which is what sponsored reviews will be showing you, however you are likely to encounter blurry shots and poor low light performance in non ideal conditions.

    • Ronnnie on 22/08/2023 - 10:56

      The closest you'll get from a local new phone would be in this sub $500 price range probably would be the pixel 6a jb deal for $399 in two days. Motorola don't invest as much dollars in refining their software processing with their phone cameras so end up being inferior. Hence the Gcam recommendations. Obviously the sub $500 pixel 7 deal offered the best camera on a phone in this price range but the 6a is still pretty good and will be supported until mid 2027 at least..

    • kanu666 on 22/08/2023 - 11:39

      Keep in mind: 30Pro has SG 8 Gen 1 which is wasting the battery, that's why I paid $200 more for 30 Ultra which is SG 8+

  • Sinnerator on 22/08/2023 - 08:37

    I have Edge 30 Neo and it is awesome.
    Yes it came with 68w charger which goes from ~~low battery to 100% in 20 mins.
    SD695 on Android13 runs perfectly.

  • Zippy7 on 22/08/2023 - 09:27

    I bought the 30 Ultra in June, it got A13, works well - more stable than the P7P it replaced.
    Smaller and thinner, and the reverse charge is nice as an emergency

  • OzBestDeal on 22/08/2023 - 10:47

    Was thinking to replace kid's phone (samsung s10), but it seems s10 still faster than 30 neo.

  • JamesLucas on 22/08/2023 - 18:22

    My Edge 30 stopped charging after a few months. Would say 'connected, not charging'. Found a fix on Reddit and been fine ever since. Anyone else had the same problem?
    Battery life not as great as my Umidigi F1, otherwise a great phone.

  • ChaLuo on 23/08/2023 - 09:00

    Will it get Android 14?

  • MarsGO on 23/08/2023 - 12:45

      Is this similar? There is flicker prevention which I've turned on

      • MarsGO on 23/08/2023 - 17:10

        Thanks for reply. I guess this is DC dimming.

          I prefer the Neo's P-OLED display over the Edge 30's AMOLED display which I had used briefly. Seems less eye strain

          • MarsGO on 23/08/2023 - 17:54

            @trixieb: I found out that Edge 30 supports DC dimming, how could you have such an experience?
            My eyes are very sensitive to OLED's PWM.

              @MarsGO: My eyes prefer my old Moto G9 Plus IPS LCD display out of the 3. The Edge 30 display seems brighter than Neo and upsets my eyes more

  • digitalerr0r on 23/08/2023 - 13:09

    need a new phone the ultras screen isn't so great though and no ip rating =/

  • trixieb on 23/08/2023 - 13:22

    I would recommend 30 Neo at $299. However we haven't received Android 13 yet. The updates are not sent out at the same time to everyone.

    We bought 3 X Neo in the last week of July and all 3 are still on Android 12. Security patch: 1 Dec 2022

      • Poperdobs on 03/09/2023 - 12:56

        • randomrandom on 03/09/2023 - 15:50

          This means the feature is there, great. Thanks mate.

  • Bllue78 on 28/08/2023 - 15:42

    Was about to get Ultra directly but hold with the JB's comments, it says when connect to bluetooth the call volume becomes very low.
    Did a bit google search and found it appears a common issue and no solution at all
    https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/motorola-edge-30/Low-volume-of-….

    Has anyone owns edge 30 series got this issue?To me this is kind of deal break as it's a basic function of phone to adjust the volum when make call.

  • Alligator Arms on 08/09/2023 - 10:35

    Neo coming up as $599 at JB HiFi and $799 on Amazon. Has the deal expired or am I missing something?
