is a flagship one, but it doesn’t come with the fastest Qualcomm chipset around. It has the slightly under-clocked Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 on board, which delivers decent efficiency.
Browsing Test results
In the PhoneArena web browsing test, which emulates a regular, everyday browsing experience with the phone’s display set at 200 nits of brightness, the Edge 50 Ultra scores a result of 14 hours and 37 minutes.
YouTube Test results
In our YouTube video gaming test, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra surprises rather pleasantly, beating both the Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max with a respectable result of nearly 11 hours. While the OnePlus 12 beats it, the Edge 50 Ultra succeeds in this test, which loops a video playlist with the brightness set at 200 nits.
Finally, in our 3D gaming test, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra finally scores a flawless victory. It achieves a result of 11 hours and 9 minutes, which is above our average of 7 hours and 49 minutes. Although the chipset inside might not be as well-performing in our synthetic benchmarks as more premium flagships, it appears to be quite efficient, so if you’re into gaming, watch out for this one.
More importantly, however, it beats the Galaxy S24 Ultra, iPhone 15 Pro Max and OnePlus 12, all of which have scored lesser in our tasking gaming test. With this one, we set the display brightness at 200 nits and run the games at 60Hz in order to achieve uniformity between the different phones we test.
Charging Test
Now, when it comes to charging, the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is one phone that truly amazes. It comes along with extremely fast 125W charging, which is one of the fastest around, barring some phones coming from China.
Anything above 100W is certainly charging your phone super quick, and the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is no different. What’s more, unlike many other manufacturers, Motorola is still including wall adapters in the box––you get a 125W charger with the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, as you should.
Let’s look at the results below.
Well, there you have it––the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra charges from 0% to 100% in just 28 minutes! It’s so fast that it even fails to hit our second, 30-minute checkpoint. What’s more, a brief 15-minute charge will juice up the device up to 61%, which should be more than enough to last you probably a full business day.
