Oh hell yeah, another phone 2% better than the last one with the same storage capacity as the last one for more money, probably no micro SD support still, lousy stock os, and waive your warranty for the right to install alternate os.

Probably. I didn’t verify any of that but it’s likely since nothing ever changes for the better anymore.

It might be fine as an upgrade for people on older devices.

Looks like it’s a lot cheaper than the previous one but it’s a regional release right now (India only)

Being wrong comes with the territory of being a bitter old man longing for the old days of rapid and huge improvements I guess…

Happens with every new tech rly. I think there’s only so much you can add to a phone before people don’t care anymore. I’m typing this on a 2018 model iPhone, even

Games, apps, music, media and all that need storage. I can make do with 256gb if it’s expandable. Otherwise, I need high internal storage space to make it work.

It’s also just cheaper to use an SD card for some of that stuff rather than paying for more internal storage on the device itself.

Indeed…

The slower UFS 2.2 or different chargers in the box, would’ve been forgivable if it did not come with 256GB of non-expandable storage. That alone makes it a deal breaker. Either provide higher internal storage capacity or expandable storage slot.

Not even better, it’s actually a downgrade from its predecessor in terms of refresh rate and SoC, going from 165 Hz to 144 Hz, and from a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 to a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (which also means it drops AV1 hardware decoding, which its predecessor had).

Tbf it is cheaper than the Edge 40 Pro, they messed up their naming. This phone is the successor to the Edge 40 not the Pro. Mind you there are still some downgrades as they downgraded the storage to UFS 2.2.

Not really, it’s closer to the Edge 40 Pro than to the Edge 40 in price. And the Edge 50 Ultra looks like it’s gonna be way more expensive than the 40 Pro, whle also having a lower refresh-rate screen.

Their OS is actually not bad, it’s pretty much stock and the stuff that they add is desirable, like Moto Gestures
