Motorola Edge 50 Ultra Smartphone Review: A Periscope Zoomer with Impressive Storage Capacity

The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra smartphone has taken the world of photography to new heights with its impressive camera features. One of its standout features is the 64-megapixel tele-camera with a periscope zoom, which allows for up to 3x zoom while maintaining image stability thanks to its optical image stabilization. This, combined with the 50-megapixel main camera and ultra-wide-angle lens, opens up a wide range of possibilities for creative image composition.

To demonstrate the camera’s capabilities, we have taken a photo comparison in the Alps, showcasing the zoom range from ultra-wide-angle to 100x hybrid zoom. This comparison will be available online soon, providing a detailed analysis of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s camera performance compared to the Sony Xperia 1 VI.

The main camera’s sensor, designed by Omnivision, produces crisp photos with good but not exaggerated colors. However, it typically captures images at a resolution of 12.5 megapixels. Users can opt for the full resolution by accessing a special mode within the camera software. While there may be slight imperfections in darker areas, the photos can be enlarged without significant loss of quality. The sharpness and level of detail are high, although slight chromatic aberrations can be noticed on one of the roofs.

In low-light conditions with high contrasts, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s photo quality is exceptional. The sharpness is good, and the candle flame is not overexposed, although a bit more detail could be recognizable in dark areas. Upon closer inspection, the wide-angle camera also takes good pictures, but only reveals a few details.

Unfortunately, fans of 8K videos may be disappointed to learn that the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s maximum video resolution is 4K at 60fps. However, users can easily switch between the ultra-wide-angle and main camera while recording in 0.1 increments. The telephoto camera can only be used before recording, as it is not used during zooming. The photos appear super sharp, and the autofocus performs well.

The front camera, featuring a 50-megapixel Samsung sensor, also takes good selfies. Although the sensor is commonly used in inexpensive mid-range phones as the main camera, the photos look good and still retain some details in dark areas. However, if enlarged too much, the photos may become slightly low in detail.

Overall, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s camera features are impressive, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a smartphone with exceptional photography capabilities.
