The Neo's screen is a 120Hz OLED panel, pretty much guaranteeing you smooth motion, superb contrast, deep blacks and, in the right mode, eye-popping colour. It's a great thing for content, although it can affect battery life. We seem to be going through a bit of a display brightness level-up across more affordable phones at the moment, where they can actually get near-ish the figures manufacturers claim on their websites. This phone is noticeably brighter than the OnePlus Nord 2T, for example, which isn't entirely me eating my words, rather more giving credit where it's due. The Neo offers great clarity indoors and outdoors, and the turbo mode it heads into when in direct sunlight is impressive. However, brightness is what stands out, just as on the Edge 30 Ultra (that's the highest-end model in this series). I find it kinda nice to not be handling a gigantic phone for one and think others who are looking for the best small phone will also appreciate it. It’s smaller than average and, as a result, sharper than the average too. The Motorola Edge 30 Neo has a petite 6.28-inch screen with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. It has a stereo speaker array too, one with fair but not standard-setting sound quality. Motorola has given the Neo an IP52 rating, which basically tells you it can handle the odd bit of rain. This is what really separates the Neo from the many other Motorola phones you could get with this budget.Īs with the Edge 30 Fusion, water resistance is very limited. Just 155g and 7.8m thick, it’s one of the trimmest phones in its class. However, the Motorola Edge 30 Neo is very thin and light. or Very Peri, if you're going by my review handset's finish. This isn’t surprising stuff given the price point, but Android phoness like the Nothing Phone 1 sit in a similar price band and use much less plastic, much more glass and metal. Back and side parts are plastic, just like a super-budget phone, the screen is flat, and the fingerprint scanner isn’t fast either. However, get up close and you’ll see the Motorola Edge 30 Neo lacks the classy build of the step-up Edge 30 Fusion. I don't really get it.įair play to Motorola, though, all the colours are truly nice. As I've said before, though, I find that Pantone 'sticker' to be the one big design hiccup of this device. It’s like being able to say you painted your house using la-de-dah Farrow & Ball paint. Yes, the whole idea of trademarking a colour is a bit silly in the first place, but the real goal here is to get the Pantone logo on the back of the phone. Obviously they've got fancier official names, but I'm telling it like it is. Motorola has licensed out four Pantone colours for the phone: a purple, a black, a silver and a green. The Motorola Edge 30 Neo comes across better at arm’s length than in the hand.
