Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Motorola Edge 2022 (8GB + 256GB)

  • High-quality 144Hz OLED display that is bright and smooth for media and gaming
  • Exceptional battery life, with many users reporting up to two days of use on a single charge
  • Very lightweight and slim design, making it comfortable for one-handed use
  • Fast and responsive performance for everyday tasks and gaming via the Dimensity 1050 chip
  • Ample internal storage (up to 256GB) at a competitive price point
  • Includes features often missing in its class, such as wireless and reverse wireless charging
  • Clean, near-stock Android software with useful 'Moto' shortcut gestures like the flashlight chop

What we don't like about Motorola Edge 2022 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Subpar camera performance, particularly in low-light conditions and with the selfie lens
  • Poor water and dust resistance with only an IP52 rating (not splash-proof)
  • No charger included in the box, requiring an additional purchase for fast charging
  • Build materials feel less premium due to an all-plastic frame and back
  • Missing a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD card slot for expandable storage
  • Slow and inconsistent software updates compared to competitors like Samsung and Google

Verdict

The Motorola Edge (2022) with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage is a mid-range smartphone featuring a vibrant 6.6-inch FHD+ OLED display with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1050 processor. A major pro is its impressive 5000mAh battery life with support for 30W wired and 15W wireless charging, along with a capable 50MP main camera system. Key cons include the entirely plastic build, a low IP52 water-resistance rating (meaning it's not waterproof), and a camera system that, while high in megapixel count, can produce subpar low-light photos compared to rivals.
