Motorola Edge 20

“It's a light and slim smartphone, so users who are looking for something like that should keep an eye out. In return, however, you have to sacrifice battery life, and there is no longer a 3.5 mm audio jack, either. The design features a flatter screen with clearer edges now, and it looks a bit more premium than the predecessor. Performance is at mid-range level and can clearly surpass that of the predecessor, there's no need to put up with throttling under prolonged load. The camera system is flexible, and call quality is decent. In addition, you get a bonus feature in Motorola's mid-range: Ready For, which can be used when you want to connect the smartphone to a larger screen and use it as a PC replacement.”

“The Motorola Edge 20 seems like the most balanced smartphone among the Edge 20 trio. It has the most reasonable pick of features - a 144Hz OLED, powerful but not overkill Snapdragon 778G 5G chip, a versatile triple camera going from 0.5x up to 3x, and a large enough battery with fast charging. We loved the display, and it is indeed a flagship-worthy one, the Edge 20 can handle games very well, including high framerate ones, and its camera is dependable despite its weird resolution handling. One of the key features of this Motorola Edge 20 is the vanilla-like Android OS with Ready For desktop-like experience, and it runs well, delivers on the promises, and can be a powerful tool for those of you who multi-task heavily on a number of devices.”

“The Motorola Edge 20 has a powerful Snapdragon 778G processor coupled with 8GB of RAM and a 108MP main camera. These are pretty solid specs for a phone that only costs €499. But this phone isn't only good on paper. The Edge 20 impressed me with its smooth and non-problematic performance, great main camera, amazing display, and fresh design. All of this fulfills the recipe for the successful 2021 mid-range smartphone. Of course, in order for this phone to hit its €499 price point, some sacrifices had to be made. But trust me, these sacrifices are nothing to be concerned about.”

“It would be easy to malign the Edge 20 for turning the series on its head - as there's no curved edge screen to be found - or maybe for the competition being more inventive. But, actually, you won't often find an untainted Android experience like this with a screen quite as super at this price point.”
