The Motorola Edge 50 Fusion is a true mid-range and not so different from what is offered by the model positioned higher in the lineup, namely the Edge 50 Pro. The processor is changing, there are some differences in the camera and battery. Otherwise I don’t see any significant changes, which is a good thing for those who were planning to buy a new smartphone and maybe didn’t have the budget for a Pro.
Regarding the processor, a Snapdragon 7s Gen2 (4nm) vs. Snapdragon 7 Gen3 on the Pro, and the configurations are identical, 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128, 256 or 512 GB of UFS 2.2 flash storage, without a microSD slot. The screen is a 6.7-inch P-OLED, with FHD+ resolution, 144Hz refresh rate and 91.6% screen-to-body ratio, plus Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

Smartwatch details
It’s not as bright as the panel on the Pro, at the maximum 1600 nits mentioned by Moto (vs. 2000), but it’s not a cause for concern as we’ll find out in the Display section. Continuing with the equipment, we also check here the front camera of 32 mpx, and at the back a dual setup of 50 mpx wide, PDAF, OIS + 13 mpx ultra-wide with autofocus, which means that you can also take macro shots.
We have stereo speakers, a USB-C 2.0 port at the base, an optical fingerprint scanner under the screen and a 5000 mAh battery with 68W wired charging. It’s still an interesting option to consider, clearly over the Galaxy A35 and maybe even over the Galaxy A55.
