The included LYTIA sensor from Sony, when combined with moto ai image processing allows for excellent night photography with what motorola is calling a “leap in image quality.” The rear camera island includes a 10MP telephoto lens and a 13MP ultrawide lens and when you add in OIS support you get a solid camera system.

Video capture has not been left out either with moto ai enhancements such as Adaptive Stabilisation that will adjust to the user’s movements and adjusting the stabilisation as required.

Both displays are 1220P SuperHD displays with the motorola edge 50 including a 6.7-inch pOLED display while the edge 50 neo features a 6.4-inch pOLED display.

The phones promise all day battery life but with support for 68W TurboPower charging you can top up quickly in a jiffy. Both phones also support 15W wireless Qi charging which is a nice addition for a mid-range smartphone.

The edge 50 neo on the other hand is powered by the MediaTek 7300 which is more power efficient for longer lasting battery while still supporting moto ai enhancements.
