Pros and Cons

Motorola Edge 50 Neo

Strengths

The Moto ed50 Neo is one of the few phones that's actually smaller than its predecessor, making it a great option for those who prefer a compact phone.
The phone has IP68 rating against water and dust, as well as military-grade protection against extreme temperatures and conditions.
The display has gotten smaller from 6.55 in to 6.4, but it's still an OLED with high resolution and supports HDR 10 plus video and 10 bit color.
The phone has a stereo speaker setup with very good loudness, making it great for audio
The under-display fingerprint reader is quick and responsive
The phone comes with Moto's new hello UI interface running on top of Android 14, providing a near stock Android experience with some extra motor roller features.
The phone will get longer software support than previous Moto phones, including 5 OS updates and five years of security patches.
The battery life is much better than last year's model, earning a respectable active use score of 13 hours and 29 minutes in our tests.

Weaknesses

The camera interface wasn't that snappy and the automatic photo processing can be inconsistent, ranging from natural to the occasional gritty and over-contrast.
The camera has some reliability issues at night with all cameras, particularly the telephoto camera which often takes out of focus photos.
The ultrawide camera's nighttime photos are okay but soft, with highlights that often get clipped.
Skin tones in selfies can come out a bit reddish depending on the amount of HDR the camera needs to apply
Low light footage taken with the main camera is only just okay in terms of sharpness and dynamic range
The phone's form factor may not appeal to everyone, especially those who prefer larger screens.
The phone does not have a telephoto camera zoom as good as other competitors, particularly at night
The ultrawide camera can take close-up macro shots but the nighttime Ultra-wide photos are okay and often soft

Motorola Edge 50 Neo

The Motorola Edge 50 Neo is a compact mid-range phone that stands out from its predecessor with its smaller size and improved protection. This budget-friendly option boasts a high-resolution OLED display, wireless charging, great battery life, and a new telephoto camera. While it shines in several areas, its camera experience is marred by inconsistent auto-processing and a sluggish interface. Despite this, the Edge 50 Neo remains an attractive choice for those seeking a compact phone with advanced features at an affordable price.

Samsung Galaxy M15 5G

The Samsung Galaxy M15 5G is a budget smartphone that packs a punch with its impressive features. The device boasts a stunning Super AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate, making it almost flagship-level. The phone's build quality is also noteworthy, despite being made of plastic, which gives it a premium feel. In terms of performance, the Galaxy M15 5G delivers decent results for a budget device. The camera setup is satisfactory, with a wide-angle sensor and macro mode that produces good-quality photos. However, the night photography mode didn't make much of an impact, and video recording tops out at Full HD at 30fps. One of the standout features of this phone is its massive 6000mAh battery, which provides an incredible 12 hours and 42 minutes of battery life according to PCMark benchmarking. The addition of 25W fast charging support is also a welcome feature. Other notable aspects of the Galaxy M15 5G include its dual-SIM capabilities with 5G connectivity, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3 support, and NFC for contactless payments. While not perfect, this phone offers an excellent balance of features at an affordable price point. The display, software, and battery life are particularly notable strengths that set it apart from other budget smartphones.
