In April, Motorola introduced three new high-end phones worldwide, the Edge 50 Ultra, Edge 50 Pro and Edge 50 Fusionthat now They go on sale in Argentina. They arrive accompanied by two new models of TWS headphones, the Moto Buds and Moto Buds+, the first designed internally by the company.
He Moto Edge 50 Fusion, the cheapest of the three, has a local price of 799,999 pesos, with 12 interest-free installments; he Moto Edge 50 Pro, more sophisticated, has a local price of 999,999 pesos and can be purchased in up to 18 installments; both are now available in the Motorola store and in distribution channels. He Moto Edge 50 Ultra, the most powerful of the three, will arrive in a couple of weeks at a price of 1,399,999 pesoss, and can be paid in up to 12 installments. In all three cases, the company will sell them in combination with promotions that include a wireless charging base, among other things.
Good news is that the company will bring various colors and textures to the country, a key aesthetic element in this family of devices.
In the case of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra (which we were testing, as we tell you in this note), the most advanced of the three, recovers the wood that the Moto X had 10 years agoalthough with only one color option (a very light wood tone; each phone will have a different grain) that complements with two vegan leather alternatives, in peach and black. The other outstanding element of the phone is the rear cameras, which combine a 50 megapixel main camera, with f/1.6 aperture for a 1/1.3″ sensor, optical stabilization, omnidirectional phase detection focus; a wide angle, also 50 megapixels with f/2.0 aperture, autofocus and the possibility of using it as a macro; and a 3x telephoto lens with 64 megapixel resolution, f/2.4 aperture and optical stabilization. The telephoto lens allows you to reach a 100x hybrid zoom, combining the highest resolution of the sensor and an algorithm that infers detail when zooming in. It also has functions to record moving objects helped by AI, to take photos in the dark and capture the starry sky or moving lights. Video recording is limited to 4K, and has gradual motion stabilization.
The main camera is also the first to be certified by Pantone to capture skin tones with maximum fidelity (respecting, of course, the lighting of the environment); It is a similar concept to the Real Tone of the Pixel. Pantone also certifies the fidelity of the color reproduction of the screen, a 6.67-inch pOLED panel with a 144 Hz refresh rate (for smoother videos and games) and an on-screen fingerprint sensor.
The rest of the hardware is completed with a Qualcomm processor Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (a more modest version than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 of the Galaxy S24 Ultra), 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage, a 4500 mAh battery rechargeable at 125 watts with a charger that comes in the box; It also supports wireless charging at 50 watts. It has 5G, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi, GPS, NFC and UWB, a short-range positioning technology that Apple and Samsung used until now.
The younger brother of the Ultra is the Edge 50 Prothat change the wood for a white acetate treated by Mazzucchelli, an Italian company that makes frames for glasses, and that there achieves something similar to mother-of-pearl or marble, very distinctive; The alternative will be the vegan leather that has already been used in other models, in black or lavender.
In terms of specifications, it has almost the same dimensions as the Ultra, with a 6.7-inch pOLED screen with a 144 Hz refresh rate and FullHD+ resolution; a chip Snapdagon 7 Gen 3, 12 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage, IP68 protection, and a 4500 mAh battery with 125 watt fast charging (and 50 watts for wireless charging); It has stereo speakers and a 50-megapixel main camera with optical stabilization and f/1.4 aperture, a 12-inch wide-angle with macro, a 3x zoom with optical stabilization and a 50-megapixel front camera.
The simplest of the three Edge 50 is the Fusion, which has own texture, a kind of plastic suede (or vegan, according to Morola) in red, accompanied by vegan leather in blue and light blue. This device has a chip Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage; The pOLED screen is 6.7 inches, with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and the largest battery of the three: 5000 mAh, with 68 watt fast charging. It has a 50 megapixel main camera with optical stabilization and 2 micron elements, a 13 megapixel wide angle and a 32 megapixel front camera.
The three models have 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi, GPS, USB-C charging and run Android 14 (with three years of operating system updates.) with the company’s customization layer: gestures to activate the camera and the flashlight, notification management, and some additions, such as a tool to synchronize the wallpaper with our outfit of the day and multiple functions to improve camera photos.
Motorola also decided to stop outsourcing the design and sale of TWS type Bluetooth headphonesand presented two models, the Moto Buds and Moto Buds+, with more advanced functions than the previous ones; Both have active noise cancellation, and the Buds+ adds equalization defined by Bose.
They will also be sold in Argentina: Moto Buds at 89,999 pesos, and Buds+ at 199,999 pesos.
The two models are quite similar in their features: the Moto Buds are certified to play Hi-Res Audio (very high quality audio, which requires a compatible music application; most modern services are) if they are linked to a smartphone that supports this mode, as are the most recent models on the market. Also have active noise cancellation (ANC) dynamic, with an automatic adjustment mode and another that allows you to listen directly to the environment, in addition to 12.4 mm drivers, triple microphone to reduce noise on calls and up to 9 hours of autonomy per charge, provided by the case with USB-C port. They can be linked to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
The Moto Buds+ model is similar, but adds a audio equalization provided by Bose (which is not present in the other model), with dual dynamic drivers, high-resolution audio and Dolby Head Tracking, which detects head movement and modifies the sound equalization (requires a compatible phone, like the latest from Motorola). It is also compatible with Dolby Atmos, and has IPX4 protection against sweat.
Like the other model, they have three microphones per speaker to eliminate noise during a calland an autonomy of about 8 hours per charge and a total of 38 hours added by the battery of the charging case, which has a USB-C port and can also be charged wirelessly.
