Editor Rating
3.9/5

Motorola Edge S30 is a very capable mid-range smartphone, which features a solid and sleek plastic body that features rounded edges and sides to make it easier to grip. The rear panel has been given a very subtle matte finish that makes the colour stand out, while the camera module tries to blend in by adopting the same finish. On the front, you get a super responsive 144Hz LCD display, which comes with support for HDR10. Just like the rear, the panel seems to wrap around the corner, although the display underneath is pretty flat. On the inside, you get the tried and tested Snapdragon 888+ 5G processor that can handle anything you throw at it.
