Animations feel fluid and responsive, and swiping through media-heavy apps feels light and breezy. Though the 144Hz refresh rate is synonymous with gamers, it brings benefits to general smartphone use.

It’s not only relatively high resolution (2400 x 1080) with a pixel density of 405ppi – beating the Edge 30 Pro due to a slightly smaller display size – but it offers a buttery smooth 144Hz refresh rate. The 6.5in AMOLED display is a strong point of the Motorola Edge 30. There is water resistance rated at IP52 which should protect it from light rain, but I wouldn’t recommend submerging the Edge 30 in water for any period of time. The bottom of the phone houses the USB-C port, along with a SIM card tray and a speaker. It will fare better against shattering than glass alternatives, but it’ll also scratch way more easily, so it’ll probably be worth making use of the transparent cover bundled in the box.īuttons for power and volume control are both found on the right side of the phone, with a combined volume button that feels a little cheap compared to its split brethren. It’s entirely plastic in design, from the frosted back panel to the frame, which can diminish the otherwise premium look on offer from the phone. Of course, there is a downside to its lightweight nature, and that’s the choice of materials that Motorola utilised. It’s available in three finishes too Meteor Grey (photographed here), Aurora Green and Supermoon Silver. It’s not just a lightweight phone either it looks like a premium bit of kit, with a two-tone frosted rear that catches the light in a pleasing way and a triple camera island sporting a unique triangular pattern within.

It almost feels too light, as if it’s free of internals, and that’s something you don’t see (or should that be feel?) too often these days.

Measuring in at just 6.79mm thick (discounting the ever-so-slightly thicker camera bump) and an equally lightweight 155g, the Motorola Edge 30 is a refreshing change to big, bulky phones like the iPhone 13 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
