It’s been less than a month since the Motorola Edge50 Fusion was officially unveiled. Instead of the expected RRP of around £400, the affordable smartphone can now be ordered in the UK for £358.
Those who prefer not to dig too deep into their wallets but still want decent features will find the Edge 50 Fusion to be a great choice: This high-quality mid-range phone comes equipped with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, which has also proven itself in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G. RAM options include either 8 or 12 GB, while for storage you can choose between 128, 256, or 512 GB.
Despite its lower price, you get an IP68-certified casing that comes in color variants Hot Pink and Marshmallow Blue with options for a velvet or leather look. The black version, on the other hand, features a matte plastic finish.
The camera system includes a main camera with 50 MP and optical image stabilization, as well as an ultra-wide-angle camera with 13 megapixels. Thus, the Edge 50 Fusion does not have a telephoto lens with optical zoom. The front camera has a resolution of 32 megapixels.
The 5,000-mAh battery can be charged with up to 68 watts.
