    I went for the g75 , but this was the other I was considering. Especially for $298.00 , the cheapest I've seen it for apart from second hand.

      You missed the $200 deal too.

      Such is life.

        I'm not too worried about the camera , as long as it's reasonable. Everything else is definitely a plus I think , good processor , good ram , great software longevity. All for well under $250.00 , I'd say that's a win ✅

      • AeymothSky on 19/06/2025 - 19:51

        the g75 camera definitely is impressive for the price but doesn't compare to my old xiaomi mi 11i 108mp.

        I think I'm happy with it though for now, Tons better than the g54 and it does okay in lowlight situations and a lot better for seeing things in disfance or up close retains most detail in good conditions too

        • montorola on 19/06/2025 - 22:07

          Haha I'm comparing mine to my Redmi Note 10 Pro camera so thought by now camera tech on mid range phones would at least be equivalent if not better

    Nice phone, I've been using one since December. Some people talk down the cameras, but it beats my previous iPhone 13 for image quality plus it adds a zoom lens. Did some Vivid walks last week with an iPhone13 owner, and the Neo took some way nicer photos.
    There's a bunch of post-processing, so night shots come out really well. Videos are a bit less good, because of less processing.

    • ARCHIEG17100 on 19/06/2025 - 11:09

      How is the battery life? Do you use screen protector?

      • crentist on 19/06/2025 - 11:47
        +2

        I use a hydrogel screen protector. Glass won't work well with the slight curve at the edges.
        Battery has been quite good. It gets comfortably through most days, even with heaps of YouTube etc (I don't game)
        It also fast-charges, so a few mins plugged in gives it plenty of juice. So I've basically never felt battery anxiety

          Doesn't Motorola Edge 50 Neo have a flat screen?

          • crentist on 19/06/2025 - 12:04
            +2

            @iChopstick: It does, but there is a very slight curve at the very edges of the glass. So a glass protector would need to be cut slightly smaller or it'll show a gap.

            It's so small that as I'm looking at it again I can barely tell it's there. Now I'm wondering if I was using a wrong-sized screen protector, but I'm sure others online have talked about this.
            But I prefer hydrogel anyway, so this isn't an issue for me.

              @crentist: I think a lot of flat screen phones still have a slight curve at the edges where this happens,

              unless the glass screen protector is sized to be a little smaller all round (I hate that too).

        The battery life has to be the best or one of the best due to the MediaTek chipset. 3 to 4 days for light usage, 2 to 3 days medium and 1 to 2 days heavy.

        Better than the number would suggest. I got rid of my iPhone 13mini because of battery anxiety, and have never felt it with this phone.
        Lasts quite long, and fast charging is great

      • Sebajun on 19/06/2025 - 11:58

        From my AccuBattery app, based on last 6 sessions: 11h screen on, 6d 11h screen off, Combined use ~30h. I always keep the battery between 20% and 80%. I've had the phone since November. Battery has been excellent for me, but I'm also not a heavy battery user. I also rarely use apps that would suck the battery quickly such as games, watching videos or doomscrolling reels. I also DO NOT use adaptive brightness as I think it's always too high and eating on the battery. I'm generally quite conservative when it comes to brightness, most of the time I'd be at 20/25% full brightness with anti-blue / night light always on. But I work behind a desk and I'm often inside, so I can afford that. When outside it's almost always 100% brightness.

        Overall I've found it to be an EXCELLENT phone for the price (I scored it at that price during Black Friday). Very happy with the pictures. My girlfriend has a rather more expensive phone, and she's frustrated that my pictures look systematically better. And yes, night shots are good too!

        Edit: good point about fast charging. It's extremely quick with the charger that comes with it.

            @ab c: Good thing I'm not claiming to be a scientist man, I was just trying to help by providing some context about my usage and how that may impact battery life. Since you've asked so nicely here you go: a. 690%; b. 10h52min (screen on - 9.2%/h), 7d6h (screen off), 29h42min (combined use); c. 94%.

            • ab c on 20/06/2025 - 10:47

              @Sebajun: Thanks champ.

              If you prioritise battery-longevity over convenience, REDUCE fast-charging via 68W wall-charging. Battery-health @ 94% seems high for a 6 mths old phone with LOW-use (Monthly, Charged 690%) & your battery-longevity practice. Maybe monitor & RE-do a Full-charge every 2 mths: <15% to 100%.

              68w vs 3W charging: see the differences in temperature & voltage @ AccuBatteryAPP - Charge-status: note the colour turn-red (~45°C temp. & ~4.3 volt), especially during summer charging with HIGHER room temp.
              Source, https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-…

              MY-use: summer room temp. ~ 25°C @ idle & during-charging, I often see temp 35°C plus. 3W charging via usb-ports @ ~ 0.5A is my MAIN-source of charging & overnight 😱. When I use a 15W wall-charger, I often see 45°C plus with 30°C room temp…just reading OzBargain comments via mobile-data. My Battery-health 91% after 18 mths: heavier-use (Monthly, Charged 900 -1100%) & MORE-conservative battery-longevity practice.

              Although 4310mAh battery IS a weak-link & if I need a NEW-phone, I would buy Moto-Edge-50-Neo😇. Watch HEAVY-users complain that their phone can't last a whole-day use after ~ 18 mths…

              @Anyone, feel free to neg…but do share factual-data to support your analysis & experience, eg AccuBattery-APP data😇

    A family member bought a one of these on the weekend - they wanted to purchase from JB, who ended up saying they would price match with Domayne (who were offering 10% of gift cards), but ultimately ended up just suggesting they could just adjust for the GC in the price - ended up getting it for $313.20.

    My suggestion: ask JB to match, you may end up being able to get one for $298 (although they only have grey)
    YMMV

  • wots on 19/06/2025 - 11:24

    Do these have the curved side edges - I assume so because of the name? Love the design of the back/cameras and colours of Motorola phones but those edges make them very dated.

      No

    • revheadgl on 19/06/2025 - 12:30

      They do have a very small curve at the edges. Enough so a glass screen protector doesn't quite sit right. I decided to ditch the protector and just use a cheap ebay gel case. It wraps over the edges just enough so the screen you see and touch is flat. Edges of the case also sit about 2-3mm above the flat of the screen.

    Fantastic phone for the price (got it for similar last year). Battery life is very good and charges really quickly due to the included 68W charger. Buy a new case, as the included one is terrible (but it's included!). I bought two and both have been very reliable and fine for a mid-tier cost phone. Plus, I love the Motorola features (shake to torch, twist to camera) that are included.
    Highly recommend.

    I similarly grabbed this at the end of last year (black friday?), for the same. i was coming from an iphone8, and it has made a massive difference (even the camera). I am happy with it. (also glad to be away from the fruit). I have been watching for it to come on sale again, and bought one on the weekend for my wife for her birthday. She is coming from iphone x.

    Whether something is a good buy or not is subjective. Is it as good as a s25ultra? definitely not. But I don't have the cash for one of those. Similar with the latest iphone, pixel or whatever. Would it be an upgrade from an S24? Probably not. But its not a thousand dollar + phone.

    For me its a $700 phone for half price, which means its in my budget, and is better than the usual <$400 options. Heaps better than whatever it is i am using for work (samsung A something). The Neo is responsive, 12gb ram is great, has a nice screen, reasonably intuitive and not a bad size - though it did seem a bit narrow to start with, though easily reachable. I find despite using it far more than my old phone, i go to bed with an average of 70% battery left, and even if it goes flat (has never done) the fast charge means its full again in an hour or so.
    Even swapping ecosystems hasn't been an issue, in fact that has been a delight too!

    Probably the worst thing is, i am on my phone lots more than i used to be!

    • WatchNerd on 20/06/2025 - 10:33

      If you're able to replace the battery yourself then 2nd hand flagships are an option. However it's a bit of a gamble trying to find a good quality aftermarket battery.

      I recently did this on my S20 FE. Bought a battery off Aliexpress for approx $18. Got one from high seller with good feedback.

      • jpw123 on 20/06/2025 - 13:32

        Hey thanks for your reply. I was thinking of a refurbished S22 from one of the several used phone sellers. Do you reckon those refurbished phones would have a new battery? To be honest I had not thought of the battery life.

        • WatchNerd on 20/06/2025 - 14:02

          If they don't mention it has a new battery then it's highly unlikely.

          The battery life of the S22 even when new is very low compared to this Motorola. The S22 is a 3.5 year old model so it will only get security updates for 1.5 years.

    For those of you that want to avoid HN for various reasons - I went to 3 different JBs today to try and price match HN with their gift card (so $298) - does not seem to be possible, best JB can do is a consistent $340. Of course YMMV esp. if you're extra charming (unlike me) but just go to HN if you're after this phone I reckon. Hopefully this saves someone a bit of time.
