Design, display and hardware

It measures 159.6 x 72 x 7.8 mm and weighs 170 or 172 grams. Its design features a glass front (Gorilla Glass 5), a plastic frame, and a silicone polymer back with an eco leather finish. The device is rated for IP68 dust and water resistance and supports Dual SIM (Nano‑SIM, eSIM or Nano‑SIM, dual stand‑by). ^[1]

The Neo uses a 6.55‑inch P-OLED display with support for 1 billion colors, a 144 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and a peak brightness of 1300 nits. The resolution is 1080 x 2400 pixels (approximately 402 ppi). ^[1]

It is powered by the Mediatec Dimensity 7300 (4 nm) chipset with an octa‑core CPU. Available configurations include 8/12GB RAM with either 256GB or 512GB of storage (UFS 2.2), and it runs Android 14 with five years of software updates. ^[1]

Availability and pricing

The Motorola Edge 50 Neo was introduced in September 2024 with an emphasis on design and color collaboration with Pantone. In Europe, it is priced starting at €399, with availability announced for Europe, Latin America, and Asia. ^[3]

Reception

Reviewers noted the Neo’s distinctive design and the Pantone‑tuned colour options, along with its slim and lightweight build. Its 144 Hz P‑OLED display and IP68 rating, combined with fast charging for its 4310mAh battery, were identified as noteworthy. However, some criticism was directed at the Mediatek 7300 chipset for intensive tasks, as well as observations regarding inconsistent low‑light performance from the ultrawide camera and the use of UFS 2.2 storage. ^{[3] [1]}
