Google Pixel 9 and Motorola Edge 50 Ultra tie on the OH Rank at a score of 61. Google Pixel 9 wins on Main Camera and Video; Motorola Edge 50 Ultra wins on Performance and Battery. Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is 0.4mm wider than Google Pixel 9. Google Pixel 9 is the more recent release, from Aug 2024.
EDITORIAL: Motorola's 2024 Top phone illustrates what the brand is really known for: creative approach, darring to stand out but also somewhat confusing global policy that keeps many markets without access to these great phones. Edge 50 Ultra comes with a vegan leather (polycarbonate) or a wooden (bamboo based) back. It has a 8s Gen 3 processor, tons of fast storage, great screen and respectable battery endurance with fast charging. As expected, the desktop replacement software is on board that makes this great phone the only computer you may have.
Both phones here were scored by me, using the same ten categories, with no ads, sponsorships, or manufacturer relationships — this comparison is as objective and honest as it gets.
