    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).
