Motorola Edge (2024) review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Motorola Edge (2024) is the prior-year edition of the slim midranger: a 6.6-inch 144 Hz pOLED at 1,300 nits, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, and IP68 sealing — launched at $550 for 8/256 and now tracking around $132 used across two dozen listings, one of the deepest discounts in the catalog. The 47/100 everyday score and 13/100 gaming place it firmly in budget territory by current measure; the price agrees.

Display and design

The 6.6-inch pOLED at 144 Hz scores 76/100 — a fast, pleasant panel with modest brightness. The 174 g body with IP68 full sealing is the standout at this price: full immersion rating, rare anywhere near $132, paired with a curved-back ergonomic that reads above its tier. Compactness of 95/100 makes it an easy one-hander.

Performance

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 scores 47/100 everyday and 13/100 gaming — adequate for communication and media, absent for demanding games. Three years of OS support from a 2024 launch leaves a short residual runway; buyers at this price should assume the software is where it will be.

Camera

A 50 MP stabilized main and 13 MP ultrawide score 26/100 — the honest budget package: acceptable daylight from the main sensor, filler beyond it, 4K30 video. The camera is not a consideration in either direction at this price.

Battery and charging

The 5,000 mAh battery scores 40/100 on endurance with 68 W charging (49/100) — the family's consistent strength, a full day and fast refills regardless of the price tier.

Verdict

At around $132 used, the Edge (2024) is a utility purchase that makes sense: IP68 sealing, a 144 Hz OLED, light weight, and fast charging at the bottom of the price ladder. Speed and cameras are priced in their absence. The Edge 50 and the 2025 edition carry the line forward for more money; this one is the clearance-table argument.
