Apple iPhone 15 and Motorola Edge 50 Neo tie on the OH Rank at a score of 61. Apple iPhone 15 wins on Performance and Selfie; Motorola Edge 50 Neo wins on Battery and Screen. Apple iPhone 15 is 0.4mm wider than Motorola Edge 50 Neo. Motorola Edge 50 Neo is the more recent release, from Aug 2024.
EDITORIAL: iPhone 15 is an incremental update of the 14. While A16 Bionic (4nm) chip brings big performance improvements, screen got much brighter, USB-C Port got Video Out tech and the main camera went from 12 to 48MP, the ultrawide and selfie are the same, battery gained negligible 70mAh in capacity and worse of all: the 60Hz refresh rate remains.
EDITORIAL: The 2024 wouldn't be the same without this excellent compact midranger. It's plastic frame with a vegan leather back comes with IP68 water and dust protection as well as Military grade impact and temp protection. Colors are cool as well - Motorola has been working with Pantene to create beautiful and very unique handsets. The phone may be "low powered" but you won't notice it in daily use - Mediatec 7300 is a good midrange processor supporting efficient battery life - close to a full day (24 hours) of use. Charging is decent, even has a 15W wireless option. Good cameras include a 3x zoom lense and a AF ultrawide one while the main camera is a pleasure to use, day or night. 5 years of OS updates and yes - Motorola's good desktop replacement software is there, wired or wireless!
