Motorola Edge 30 Pro exterior design
The protagonist of this review article is the blue Motorola Edge 30 Pro, which uses a 6.7-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2400 x 1080. For users with thin hands, it may feel a bit huge. The screen supports a 144Hz refresh rate, which means everything looks and feels super smooth during normal use, and with crisp visuals and vibrant colors, the phone is perfect for watching movies or playing games.
The frame of the Motorola Edge 30 Pro is made of plastic material, which is slightly thicker and heavier than the previous generation Edge 20 Pro, but it does not affect the feel. The back of the machine is covered with a layer of Gorilla Glass 5 glass, which increases its durability, and uses a matte (that is, frosted) design that is not easy to get fingerprints and smudges. The volume button and the power button are located on the right side, but they are placed in a high position. In disguise, you need to use both hands or move your hands slightly upwards to press the fingerprint reader on the power button to unlock the phone, which will be troublesome. , not very ergonomic.

Motorola Edge 30 Pro Phase Machine
Compared with the previous generation Edge 20 Pro, the Edge 20 Pro is equipped with a main lens, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a periscope telephoto lens, but the Edge 30 Pro has no telephoto lens and replaced it with a depth-of-field lens. Say it’s a disadvantage. Photos from the main lens are fairly sharp, bright, and have good dynamic range, though. The camera recognizes different textures and details without any editing, and the images all look pretty good. And the camera app has been tweaked to capture the image you want without shutter lag.
As for the ultra-wide-angle lens, although it can capture a wide scene, like the ultra-wide-angle lens of a general mobile phone, it usually produces less imaging details. In addition, the image captured by the ultra-wide-angle lens is warmer, which does not match the color of the main camera. However, the ultra-wide-angle lens can support macro shooting at the same time, and can take clear macro photos, which may be an advantage.
Using night mode in low light, the camera will increase the brightness, but the image will still end up with a lot of noise, which becomes apparent when you zoom in. While it took 3 seconds in night mode to capture a photo in low light, the results were nothing special.

summary
All in all, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro’s main camera and ultra-wide-angle perform well, but the replacement of the telephoto lens by the depth-of-field lens seems to limit the camera’s capabilities. In terms of performance, the speed should be quite fast in daily use and when playing games, but the S8 Gen 1 will still be the same as the S888, it will be easy to heat up, and it will be difficult to dissipate heat.
Still, if you’re looking for a phone that can play games, the ASUS ROG Phone 5s is a good choice, and if you want a phone with a great camera, the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a good alternative to the Motorola Edge 30 Pro. s Choice.
