What we like about Motorola Edge 2025 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Stunning 6.7-inch pOLED display with exceptional 4,500 nits peak brightness and high resolution
  • Excellent battery life, with tests showing over 22 hours of continuous video streaming
  • Fast 68W wired charging that can provide a full charge in approximately 53 minutes
  • High durability with IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance and MIL-STD-810H shock protection
  • Sleek and lightweight design featuring a premium-feeling 'Deep Forest' vegan leather back
  • Good camera performance in well-lit conditions, including a useful 3x telephoto lens
  • Includes a dedicated physical AI key for quick access to Moto AI features

What we don't like about Motorola Edge 2025 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Underpowered MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset leads to sluggish day-to-day performance and app stutters
  • Short software support window with only 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of security patches
  • Camera software can be overly aggressive with sharpening, leading to an artificial look in some photos
  • Abundance of pre-installed bloatware including multiple games and non-essential apps
  • Lack of expandable storage via microSD card
  • Curved screen edges can cause distracting light reflections and occasional accidental touches
  • Haptics and speakers are described by some as sounding 'tinny' or high-pitched

Verdict

The Motorola Edge (2025) is an upper mid-range Android 15 smartphone powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra processor, featuring a generous 8GB of RAM and 256GB of non-expandable storage. A major pro is its stunningly bright 6.7-inch Super HD (1220p) pOLED quad-curved display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 4500 nits, housed in a durable IP68/IP69-rated and MIL-STD-810H certified chassis with a vegan leather finish. It boasts a versatile pro-grade camera system with a 50MP main sensor (with OIS), a 50MP ultrawide (doubling as a macro lens), a 10MP 3x telephoto lens, and a 50MP front camera, all capable of 4K video recording. The large 5200mAh battery is another highlight, offering up to two days of use with support for 68W wired and 15W wireless charging. Cons include performance that can be sluggish compared to competitors in the same price range, an average 5G connectivity that lacks mmWave support, the charger not being included in the box, and a relatively short software support policy (two OS updates and three years of security patches).
