Motorola Edge (2025)

Name: Motorola Edge (2025)
Brand: Motorola
SKU: 9103

Manufacturer: Motorola

The Motorola Edge (2025) is a mid-range smartphone built around a 6.7″ OLED/AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, 444 ppi pixel density, and support for both Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Running Android 15, it comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, and its curved display is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, giving it a refined feel in hand despite its slim 8 mm profile and 181 g weight.

Under the hood, the Motorola Edge (2025) is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, built on a 4 nm process with an octa-core CPU running at up to 2.6 GHz and DDR5 memory at 6400 MHz. The triple rear camera system combines 50 MP, 50 MP, and 10 MP sensors with optical image stabilization and 3x optical zoom, while the front camera offers 50 MP resolution at an f/1.9 aperture. A 5200 mAh battery supports 68W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging, and the phone carries an IP69 rating, confirming resistance to high-pressure water exposure.

Pros

The IP69 rating confirms protection against high-pressure water exposure, going beyond the standard waterproofing found in many smartphones
A 6.7-inch OLED display with 1700 nits of typical brightness, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ support, and an Always-On mode makes for a well-equipped screen for everyday media use
68W wired fast charging paired with a 5200 mAh battery offers a substantial capacity that can be replenished quickly
The triple rear camera system includes optical image stabilization, 3x optical zoom, and a broad set of manual controls covering exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance
Wi-Fi 6E support ensures compatibility with the latest wireless networking standards for reduced congestion and faster local connectivity
Stereo speakers are present, improving audio output for media playback without headphones

Cons

No 3.5 mm headphone jack is included, limiting wired audio options to USB-C adapters
The charger is not included in the box, requiring a separate purchase to make use of the fast-charging capability
Reverse wireless charging is absent, so the device cannot be used to charge other compatible accessories
None of the high-quality Bluetooth audio codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported, restricting wireless audio fidelity
OS updates do not come directly from the platform vendor, which may affect the timeliness of software and security patches
There is no external memory slot, making the 256GB of internal storage the fixed ceiling for local file capacity

Who is this for?

This phone suits users who want a well-rounded daily driver with strong outdoor visibility, as its 1700-nit OLED display holds up well in bright environments, and the 120Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling and interactions feeling fluid. The IP69 rating makes it a reliable choice for those who are frequently around water or work in demanding conditions where dust and moisture are a concern. Users who rely heavily on their camera throughout the day will appreciate the versatile triple-lens setup with optical stabilization, 3x optical zoom, and a broad range of manual controls, making it a practical option for travel and everyday photography. The 5200 mAh battery combined with 68W wired charging also suits people who need their device to last through long days without being tethered to a charger for extended periods.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who prioritize high-fidelity wireless audio will find this device limiting, as it lacks aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC support, and there is no 3.5 mm headphone jack to fall back on. Those who regularly work with large local media libraries or need to expand storage will be constrained by the fixed 256GB capacity, as there is no external memory slot available. The device is also not well suited to users who depend on timely software updates, since OS updates do not arrive directly from the platform vendor. Additionally, anyone looking to use the phone as a hub for charging accessories wirelessly will be disappointed, as reverse wireless charging is not supported.
