Critic consensus
“If the focus is on a smooth system without extravagance and a great display, but top performance is less important, then the Edge 30 Neo is worth a look.”
“The Neo, in particular, impresses with an extremely bright and fast OLED panel, OIS on the main camera, better 13MP ultrawide camera with autofocus, blazing fast 68W fast charging, wireless charging, a set of nice-sounding stereo speakers and a nifty LED strip around the camera used for notifications and other stuff. Of course, some compromises had to be made, so Motorola settled for a Snapdragon 695 SoC. Most of Neo's competitors run on faster chipsets and support 4K video recording. The device's camera capabilities, although not inherently bad, are not particularly impressive, leaving an easy opening for alternatives with better camera performance.”
“The Motorola Edge 30 Neo is a relatively small and light phone with a super-bright screen that never struggles to be seen. But it doesn’t excel much elsewhere, offering a weaker processor and cameras than other phones near the price.”
“Motorola really tried hard to make a great and competitive budget phone with the Edge 30 Neo, and to some extent they managed to do that. There is a really good screen for gaming and watching media, with good speakers to match. Overall the phone is pleasant to use, also thanks to the decent chipset inside. There are some obvious setbacks, though, like the short software support and slightly disappointing camera performance, especially when it comes to shooting video. It's even harder to recommend the Neo if you live in a region where the Pixel 6a is easily-accessible. Nevertheless, the Motorola Edge 30 Neo covers many bases, and there is plenty to like about it. The truth is, it would probably satisfy most regular users that don't necessarily want above-average camera quality.”
