  • Any suggestions for screen protector or cases? Did a bit of googling - seems most screen protectors have a black border

    • It comes with a case I think. As for the screen protector, what's wrong with having a black border? It only covers the bezel doesn't it?

      • One reviewer said it creeped onto the screen since the phone bezel is already thin/narrow

      • Yes, very narrow. Just received it today and I wouldn't buy a screen protector with black borders.

  • May as well bite. I like the nice camera, screen, eSIM, wireless charging. I'd like a bigger screen and more powerful processor, but you're asking for too much for $350.

    I talked to jb hifi on Pitt st, apparently shipments of this phone are only just arriving at their store, which is why they're aren't showing up as available for click and collect (they haven't been processed yet).

  • Seems it's backorder at OW even so was in stock well after I purchased. Did anyone else get the same?

    • I'm in the same boat. And as of yesterday OW haven't actually ordered any more. I'm tempted to get one from JB Hifi…

      • I called this morning and was told they are expected in about 3-4 weeks… Seems like a random estimation to entice me into cancelling… Not bad when they were still showing as in stock for some time after I purchased and that it would be delivered the next day… Not happy…

  • How's this compare to my Huawei P30 Pro? It's working ok on the whole just no updates now for a few years, so was wondering whether or not to swap it out.

    Delivered today after getting PB from OW. Thanks OP! Missus should love this one.

    • how did u get PB if they already have reduced the price as well?

      • +1

        Ordered yesterday when OW was selling at higher price. :)

  • Mine has officially shipped :D now to wait till Monday.
    Thanks Ozbargain!

  • Anyone know of a previous phone data / apps etc transfer tool like that of Samsung, to use with Motorola? Samsung was really smooth when I used that last.

    • The google transfer tool automatically pops up when you first power it on and log in. It transfers everything.

      • I just used the Google transfer tool yesterday. It transfers most things, but not some files like a recordings from a voice recording app, and files for a walk-tracking app.
        Also it did not set the same ringtones and notification tones, so have to go set those up and choose custom ones for particular apps. Also need to open each app to approve permissions, and go through security checks for banking apps and others that require it.

      • Assuming you use Google backup to begin with right? Does it transfer locally or sync everything to Google first?

        • I think it did the transfer via a direct Wi-Fi connection to the old phone.
          If you don't have your old phone available, it can use the Google backup, but that might possibly miss out on some data like app settings.

  • can someone post invoice for $330 officework price beat. Maybe I can price match with JB

    • I think they will only beat a publicly-advertised or available price.

  • Need some advice. My Pixel 7a got bumped off the wireless charger, barely a love kiss however the screen no longer works - still vibrates, rings, hooks up to the car, etc. Given I bought the phone in March 2023 I'm not sure if it's better to repair or buy a new phone like this Edge 50. I'm unsure if I can do a direct transfer to a new phone without being able to unlock the 7a. I'm (at the moment) a licenced Plumber and use the phone for map navigation, taking tons of photo's, and opening very large schematics/designs.
    Any advice if this would be a good replacement or should I repair the 7a?

    Edit: Now it's out of the cover I can see the 7a has spiderweb cracks all over the back (bottom) area, front is still perfect.
    Edit 2: I also have a s10e which holds me business sim, would be good if I could get a dual sim phone able to take my Boost and Coles sims.

  • JB and Officeworks out of stock. I just order one from HarvyNorman.

    • Who did you get yours from?

    • This is normal. Motorola perfumes their boxes.

      You can see this reviewer react to the perfume 👇

    • From GSMArena review:

      The handset arrives in a slim retail box, which smells of a color-specific fragrance on the inside, like the other phones in the Edge lineup. The smell lingers on when you handle the phone for the next few hours after the unboxing, leaving an extra premium impression.

  • In Store only now?

  • If anyone is wondering, the stock camera app is a little laggy in the viewfinder but it's more just like a low refresh rate. Not disruptiuve.

    The more intrusive issue is the lag after taking a photo, that can cause the viewfinder to stutter while it's processing. And also impacts your ability to take photos rapidly. (After snapping 2 photos rapidly, the camera app stalls and will not take a 3rd photo. You need to wait a moment before snapping again.)

    Anyway.. installing gcam fixes this issue.

  • Darn, it doesn't have sd card slot. Should've read the specs a bit more. Bummer, figured after opened the box. It has just a dead simple single sim card slot with no sd card. Urrgghhh!

    • Buy usb otg. Insert microsd card into it and put it onto the phone's usb c charging port. The hassle is when you need to recharge the phone.

  • Bought a red one for a gift. The JB guy says there is still room for margin so he added the extended warranty for free. So same price but with 3 years replacement warranty, can’t complain about that.

    • Hi I bought one too but didnt get extended warranty, can I come to JB and ask for it? can you dm me screenshot of the invoice so I can tell them about it. Thanks

  • I bought red color one and tbh I wish I could get the latte/gold color.

  • Shots from edge 50 neo with gcam

    https://www.reddit.com/r/motorola/comments/1gnxupt/shots_fro…

    moto edge 50 pro… will gcam improve the quality?

    discusses the pro, however neo is mentioned also

    https://www.reddit.com/r/motorola/comments/1gp9za3/moto_edge…

    • There are many different gcam mods. BSG mod is one of the most popular one. Setting changes are also important. Standard built-in setting is not enough. Anyone need to change the settings.

  • How's everyone finding the phone? I'm considering whether it'd be worth selling my near-new amaysim A35 and using the money (plus a bit) to get one of these.
    Compact size and e-sim are both quite appealing. Battery seems worse though…

    Also, has anyone tried out the desktop mode on these? I think I read that it can be used similar to Samsung Dex, is that any good?

    Very happy with the phone, everything transferred from my broken Pixel 7a, could even do PayPal 4in1 at the JB store

    Great phone! The performance is awesome. Browsing tiktok videos is so smooth even those 4k/60FPS videos on the platform look stunning on this phone. The quick charging tho WOW they were not kidding about the quick charging. Went from 11% power to 100% power in around 10-20 minutes which does last over a day if you're someone that just watches videos with the phone.

    As a Roblox player myself I tested the game on the Phone and it runs so smoothly! No lag. Doesn't even make the battery die quick either. This was just Roblox tho.. more demanding games would probably make the battery die quickly but I reckon you could play a lot of demanding games on this phone with little to no issues.

    Very happy with my purchase.

    Bought this because i didn't want to miss out. This is the first phone I bought that has perfumed sprayed in the box. It secretly blew my mind.

    • I was meaning to add that to this post. I thought the smell just came from JB HI FI lol. I've never bought a product with perfume added as a bonus.

    • @sixtyeleven I'm in Perth too and other phones purchased from JB Hi-Fi also have perfume sprayed on the box. Maybe it's the same store.

  • Heads up for anyone in Sydney that the JB website says that Macquarie has stock, but they don't - found out the hard way today.

  • Bondi too, is OOS despite what it says on the website

  • How easy is it to pricebeat at officeworks?

    Pro-Tip: if you are having strange issues with apps (taking ages to open, stuck on splash screen, failing to connect / sync / restore from backup) - go into Moto Secure and try disabling some of the settings.
    In particular the "Protect me from online scammers" one.

    Fixed my issues doing Authenticator restore from backup, and JustWatch stuck loading.
