At the end of July, Motorola officially presented the new generation of the Edge range, which, this time, came materialized in three models: Edge two0, Edge two0 Pro and Edge two0 Lite.The first to go on sale was Motorola Edge two0 Pro, which has already passed through our analysis table, and now is the turn of the little brother of the family.

In recent days we have been able to verify how the Motorola Edge two0 Lite behaves in each of the sections;Next, we tell you our conclusions about this 5G mid -range terminal that, in its presentation letter, boasts of 108 megapixel camera, OLED screen and a large battery.

For this Lite model, Motorola has opted for a well -finished plastic construction, with bright and rear semi mate edges.The unit we have tried is graphite color that shows a rather sober appearance and attracts dust and dirt very easily.The presence of footprints is not as patent as in a bright finish, but the oleophobic treatment of the rear is not effective.

Despite its great battery and its 6.7 -inch screen, the terminal feels comfortable in your hand thanks, in part, to its rounded corners and the curved edges of the back;We cannot say that we have given us the feeling of being fat or heavy (it has a thickness of 8.two5 mm and weighs 185 g).Of course, do not expect to use it with one hand and try to hold it firmly because it is very slippery.The latter and the problem of dirt are solved with the transparent silicone case that brings included.

The rear camera module stands out a lot, causing the mobile to limit it excessively when depositing it on a flat surface.With the exception of that module, the back is completely smooth because, in this case, the footprint reader is integrated into the ignition button on the right side (above the desirable), next to the volume control.On the left, we have the assistant button and the card slot, and at the bottom, the USB-C port, the headphone jack and the speaker.

Ahead, we have a 6.8 -inch flat OLED screen that occupies almost the entire front, with quite tight frames and a drilling in the center of the top to house the front camera.This panel has a FullHD+resolution, offers a 90 Hz soda rate and is compatible with HDR10+.In this sense, the visualization experience is quite good, even in the direct light of the sun.Both calibration and tactile response can qualify them optimal.

With regard to audio, we miss stereo speakers, although the one that incorporates at the bottom offers a decent sound with a not very high distortion.In addition, Motorola gives us the possibility of applying some audio effects to highlight the serious.As we have commented before, the Edge two0 Lite has a 3.5 mm jack shot at the top, but does not bring headphones included in the box.

Software enriched as spearhead

Within this model, we find the Dimensity 7two0 of Mediatek, with a construction of 7 Nm and eight nuclei at two GHz (two Cortex A76 and six other Cortex A55).This chipset, in combination with the 8 GB of RAM that the Motorola Edge two0 Lite brings, provides a fluid performance, with the addition of 5G and without problems to perform daily tasks.

We have not suffered delay or sudden closures and in multitasking it has also developed correctly.Nor does it disappoint when playing, whenever we do not put it to the test with very demanding titles because we will see that the graphic power is quite fair.Without being a display in this section, we can talk about acceptable performance for a telephone of this range.Next, we leave you the results of the most popular benchmarks:

Pasamos al apartado del software, donde Motorola vuelve a apostar por ofrecer una versión limpia de Android eleven con My UX, un conjunto de funciones adicionales que enriquecen la experiencia del usuario.Among them, are the motorcycle gestures, which allow, for example, to capture the screen, activate the flashlight or silence the phone.The Gametime tools or the Ready For to tools are also appreciated to connect the mobile to an HDMI or wireless way.

More customization options are missing, but in return, it lacks that bloatware and those duplicate apps that we see in many layers and that can hinder the general system performance. En el caso del Motorola Edge two0 Lite, de los 1two8 GB de almacenamiento interno, vienen libres unos 106-107 GB.And on top, admit a micro SD card up to 1 TB.

As biometric identification systems, this new Motorola model boasts both fingerprint reader and facial recognition.The sensor is located in a place that, in our opinion, is somewhat uncomfortable, but once the finger is located, it usually recognizes it instantly.Facial recognition is slower and does not always manage to identify our face when there is little light.

En el apartado de la autonomía, el Motorola Edge two0 Lite presume de una batería de 5.000 mAh that, according to the brand, "provides you days of energy with a single load".That statement is something exaggerated, but we have been able to verify that, with an average use, this model exceeds without problems the day and a half with about 9 hours of screen on.

In addition, it is compatible with fast Turbopower charging of 30 W: with the loader that brings included, it is able to obtain a complete recharge in about 90 minutes (in half an hour, it achieves around 45% energy).We have seen models in its price range with a higher load speed, but we must recognize that filling a 5 battery.000 mAh lleva su tiempo y el Edge two0 Lite no se comporta mal en este sentido.

Not suitable for photography lovers

En el apartado fotográfico, el Motorola Edge two0 Lite presenta una cámara frontal de 3two megapíxeles f/two.two y una cámara trasera triple con sensor principal de 108 megapíxeles f/1.9, gran angular de 16 megapíxeles f/two.two con función macro y un tercer sensor de two megapíxeles para la lectura de la profundidad. La frontal dispone de tecnología Quad Pixel, mientras que la trasera opta por la tecnología Ultra Pixel, que combina 9 píxeles en 1, de manera que las imágenes resultantes son de 1two megapíxeles.

Let's start with the Motorola camera app, which is not precisely intuitive: there are hardly any direct accesses and most options are hidden in the adjustments or in two drop -down menus (one next to the trigger and another in the modes carousel).In fact, it only brings two series, photo and video shooting modes;If we want to access, for example, the night mode or the portrait mode, we must drag them to the main screen.

Modo Foto (Automático)

Let's talk about the image quality offered by these cameras.During the day, the rear fulfills its mission and returns some acceptable photographs with an effective aff in most cases, although with a processing that slightly saturates the colors in some cases and penalizes the level of detail a bit.

Modo Foto con HDR desactivado (izda.) vs Modo Foto con HDR activado (dcha.)

So that it does not suffer in the comptrolls and sunsets, our advice is to keep the HDR in automatic, and not only to rescue detail in the dark areas, but also because the option of activating and deactivating it is buried in the adjustments. Si no quieres cielos sobreexpuestos, también agradecerás el HDR, pero no esperes milagros, la cámara del Edge two0 Lite flaquea en este tipo de escenas.

Modo Foto: 1X (izda.) vs 0,5X (dcha.)

The wide angle compensates quite well the deformities on the sides, but the lens is less luminous and that generates more flat colors.As a macro camera, it achieves its function of focusing on short distances, but the colors are even more off.

Modo Foto (izda.) vs Modo Retrato (dcha.)

The portrait mode, on the other hand, usually identifies the subject correctly, delivers realistic colors and allows us to regulate the Bokeh effect, but it is not convenient to take it to the maximum so that the cut is not very artificial.Interestingly, the back camera of this Motorola does not have beauty filter in the portrait mode, to take into account.

Modo Noche

At night, the level of detail falls a lot and the noise is obvious when expanding the image.The night mode can help us save the scene, but the capture is extremely slow and forces us to keep the phone still for several seconds.If we do not resort to the night mode in the night shots, the lights of light appear blurred and nothing is seen in the dark areas.

Modo Foto (izda.) vs Modo Noche (dcha.)

The behavior of the front camera is more disappointing.During the day, it is quite frequent that the AF does not do its work well and the selfies are out of social, moved, with lack of detail and some watercolor effect.If you want to hide skin imperfections, you will have.

In addition, the background appears, without much detail, regardless of whether we use the photo mode or portrait mode.In the latter, yes, it is possible to regulate its blur.To do this, it resorts to the software with a satisfactory result as far as the subject's cut is concerned.It is not as precise as the rear camera, but it defends itself well.

Modo Noche de la cámara frontal Cámara frontal: Modo Foto (izda.) vs Modo Noche (dcha.)

And at night?It is a lottery.Both the automatic mode and the night mode randomly apply a kind of beauty filter that eliminates any wrinkle or imperfection of the skin to the point that we almost look like a cartoon.But, as we said, it is not something that always happens, sometimes it happens and sometimes not.Inexplicable.In any case, the watercolor effect of the background and noise on night selfies are very evident.

El hermano pequeño de la familia Edge two0 se presenta como una alternativa interesante por su precio dentro del segmento 5G, pero precisamente ahí es donde encuentra una dura competencia.In general, we can talk about a balanced terminal, with a panel, software and battery that become its best buzas, and a camera that probably represents its greatest weak point.

La pantalla, el software y la batería son en sus mejores bazas, mientras que las dos cámaras, frontal y trasera, representan su mayor punto débil

Bajo un diseño sobrio que se siente cómodo en la mano, el Motorola Edge two0 Lite tiene una pantalla que ofrece una buena experiencia de visualización, una gran autonomía con el añadido de la carga rápida y un sistema operativo limpio con algunos detalles que aportan valor sin entorpecer el rendimiento.That performance, by the way, is correct for a phone in this range.

Yes they miss dual speakers and, above all, a more competitive photographic equipment.For 350 euros, there are market models that do not falter in night scenes and offer more decent selfies.If photography is important for you, it's not your phone. Si, por el contrario, priorizas la conectividad 5G, la experiencia pura de Android y la autonomía, el Edge two0 Lite no es mala compra.
