    Good phone for the price. Once you go a 125W charger.. you don't want to go to a slow < 50W charger in Apple/Samsung/Google

    Snapdragon 7 gen 3 though… Hardly a 'pro' phone feature

          Battery is great. Modem is efficient and so is the chip. Comfortably lasts all day, and charges unbelievably fast if you need a top-up.

          They only get around their bad capacity by aggressively reducing power consumption and background functions.

    • Kiro on 17/12/2024 - 09:13

      Pro model isn't the top off the range. This is more a top mid tire handset and the ultra models will be top tire

    • iuselect on 17/12/2024 - 09:34

      even going to a 60w charger (asus rog phone 6), it's hard to go back. charging your phone to 100% in under 40minutes is just so much more convenient than the 45w charging on samsung stuff.

    This is a ridiculous price for such a phone, yesterday it was $997 reduced to $797 and now it's dropped to $448. Must be a price error but I'd jump on it if I didn't just buy the Moto edge 50

      This is the actual price of the phone, $997 is an absolute piss take price and they're not even giving you the top of line CPU at that price

      • Nillionaire on 17/12/2024 - 20:34

        It would be insane for top of line CPUs to be priced below a thousand dollars

      hard to get a better phone for $425.60.. its actually a really nice phone. 12GB version too.
      I have the edge 30 ultra so aside from longer software support it would be a sideways or downgrade to get this phone.

          I had the same issue. Then found the catch. in JB HI FI site the Product code is written with white letters on white background. Which makes it impossible to see. If you go to JB page and do a search on the page. It will appear. Search 8400 on JB page and you will find it.

          Its hidden under the MODEL and SKU number.

    • repeat on 17/12/2024 - 10:26

      It sounds like they do, Motorola says it depends on carrier/region, the model sold by mobileciti mentions eSIM.

      Discussion on Whirlpool indicate eSIM support is working in the Edge 50 Neo, so hopefully this is also the case on the Pro.

      I'm about to sell my a73, i had sent it away (warranty issue with the charging) and moved to edge 50 neo when it was on sale for circa 350. I think it was an ok swap (comparable battery life, no gaming, albeit big sacrifice without microsd)

        Rang my local office works and they claimed there are no more lavender phones in stock anywhere. However if I use the OW app to do a click and collect it is still available online so not sure what gives. However I don't want to pY $797 for this phone at OW.

  • mcs on 17/12/2024 - 10:13

    I paid $8xx for one of these 3 months ago. Been pretty happy with it - the curved edge is what it is, but as a phone it works well. The fast charging is awesome, and in general I've had zero performance issues with it. But I'm not a heavy gamer or anything - it does everything I need it to do - has pretty strong overall network connections too when travelling out and about in regional Australia which is pleasing.

    At that price its great bang for your buck for mine.

  • joerd102 on 17/12/2024 - 10:17

      Hi repeat, i was wondering if i should do the same. My s20fe is feeling dated.
      If you're picking one up today, would you mind giving your first thoughts.
      Thanks

      • Gazzitas on 17/12/2024 - 10:47
        +1

        As a refurbed S21 user, the Edge 50 Neo already feels better than it in almost every way so the Pro would probably blow the S20 FE out of the water.

      • repeat on 18/12/2024 - 13:16

        The phone feels nice in the hand, the plastic back has a textured back compared to the smooth plastic of the S20 FE, together with curved screen and the narrower display make it a bit easier to hold and operate one handed.
        Display has more fall off when viewed off-axis, with the screen appearing blue and duller when not viewing it straight on.
        For those with display sensitivity, the screen may be irritating at the default settings - I had the least irritation with the brightness set above 80%, flicker prevention on and refresh on auto or 60 Hz.
        Personally, I prefer the display of the S20 FE.
        Charger brick is quite bulky and at 55mm wide may interfere with neighbouring sockets, comes with a short USB-C cable but is capable of charging the phone very quickly (120W).

    • life is suffering on 17/12/2024 - 11:00

      Probably a little better. These are mid range so you won’t get iPhone like quality unfortunately

    • sunday9987 on 17/12/2024 - 11:02

      I like the photo quality so long as you don't try to zoom in and pixel peep after the fact. The 3x zoom lens is also very handy.

    • sixsense on 17/12/2024 - 11:18

      With neo 50 I took a capture of my monitor screen and all the picture had dark shadows in place of the white space. Pretty terrible compared to my Huawei Mate 20 (5 year old). Would suggest a razr for better pic quality as Edge series is mediocre camera wise.

    • mcs on 17/12/2024 - 11:22

      Photos are decent, but nothing special. Good for basic use - but if you want high quality photos, either buy a much better phone or invest in a camera. I'd say mid range quality - but useful for most purposes.
