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, 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.
The Neo uses a 6.4‑inch P-OLED display with support for 1 billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and a peak brightness of 3000 nits. The resolution is 1200 x 2670 pixels.
It is powered by the Mediatek Dimensity 7300 chipset with an octa‑core CPU. Available configurations include 8/12GB RAM with either 256GB or 512GB of storage, and it runs Android 14 with five years of software updates.
The rear camera system consists of a 50MP main sensor with PDAF and OIS and a 13MP ultrawide lens with AF. A 10 Megapixel 3x Telephoto lens with OIS and PDAF is present. Video recording is supported at 4K@30fps and 1080p at various frame rates with gyro‑EIS, while the front camera is a 32MP sensor.
Stereo speakers and a 4310 mAh battery supporting 68W wired charging and 15W Wireless charging are included. The device is offered in Pantone‑validated colours such as Grisaille, Lattè, Nautical Blue, Poinciana and Mocha Mouse

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.

Reception

Reviewers noted the Neo’s distinctive design and the Pantone‑tuned colour options, along with its slim and lightweight build. Its 120 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 UMCP storage.
