Do you miss the days when Motorolas could be styled with real wood backs? The new Motorola Edge 50 Ultra has a real wood option along with two vegan leather colors – Forest Gray and Peach Fuzz (Pantone Color of the Year 2024).

There was no Ultra model last year, so this is not a sequel but rather an upgrade over the Edge 50 Pro that was unveiled a few weeks ago. The Ultra comes with more processing power and a better camera setup compared to the Pro.

It’s based on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, a huge step up from the 7 Gen 3 chip inside the Pro. You get more RAM too, 12GB or 16GB (LPDDR5X) with more available via a RAM boost. Storage is 512GB or 1TB (UFS 4.0).
The camera upgrade starts with the main module, which has a 50MP 1/1.3” sensor – big enough to have 1.2µm pixels before quad pixel binning comes into play. It has omni-directional autofocus and OIS for the f/1.6 lens.
The standout camera is the 3x 72mm periscope, which has 64MP sensors (0.7µm pixels) and a bright f/2.4 aperture. Next up is the ultra wide 50MP camera (0.64µm pixels), its f/2.0 lens has a 122 ° field of view and autofocus for macro shots. The cameras use a laser autofocus system and a 3-in-1 sensor that helps with exposure, auto white balance and flicker detection.
The front camera has a 50MP (0.64µm) sensor with an f/1.9 lens with autofocus. All three cameras can record 4K video at 60fps. The main camera on the back and the selfie also have slow-mo modes at 1080p (120fps on the front, up to 960fps on the back).
Since 2024 is the year of AI, artificial smarts have been employed to help the camera. AI automatically adjusts the shutter speed and level of stabilization based on the scene. It also handles auto focus tracking. The new Photo Enhancer optimizes images for detail in highlights and shadows, sharpness, color and bokeh.
The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is built around a 6.7” curved P-OLED display with a resolution of 2,712 x 1,220px (20:9). It runs at 144Hz and has a touch sampling rate of up to 360Hz (in gaming mode). The display peaks at 2,500 nits and uses DC dimming. The 10-bit color rendering gives it HDR10+ support and certification for HD streaming from Netflix and Amazon.
Pantone is responsible for the color Peach Fuzz, but the color experts also tested the display and certified it as Pantone Validated and Pantone Skintone Validated. The camera system is certified by Pantone as well.
The Ultra is built around an aluminum frame, the front features Gorilla Glass Victus with an anti-fingerprint coating. It is rated IP68 for dust and water resistance.

Like the Pro, it has a 4,500mAh battery with 125W TurboPower charging over USB and 50W wireless. Motorola says plugging in for 4 minutes is enough to last the rest of the day. Wired and wireless power sharing are also available.
The phone is available as single-SIM (SIM or eSIM) and dual-SIM (SIM a eSIM). It supports the latest Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and Bluetooth 5.4, as well as Ultra Wide Band (PCB). The latter offers accurate distance and angle readings compared to other PCB-enabled devices such as your friend’s phone or a PCB tag. Additionally, the USB-C port offers USB 3.2 and DisplayPort 1.4 connectivity.
The phone comes with stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning, and Dolby Head Tracking is also supported (Motorola happened to unveil new headphones today as well).
