Motorola Edge 50 Series: A New Line of Smartphones with Wooden Back Covers and Advanced Features

Motorola has recently announced the Edge 50 series, a new line of smartphones that includes three models: the Edge 50 Ultra, Edge 50 Pro, and Edge 50 Fusion. The most notable feature of these phones is the option for a wooden back cover. Let's take a closer look at what each model offers.

The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is the top-tier device in the series, featuring a Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of storage. It also boasts a triple camera system with a main camera of 50 megapixels, telephoto lens of 64 megapixels, and an ultrawide lens that doubles as a macro. The Edge 50 Ultra is the first smartphone to use Pantone Validated technology for both its camera and display. It also supports wireless charging and has a high refresh rate OLED display.

The Motorola Edge 50 Pro, on the other hand, uses a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset and comes with up to 12GB of RAM. It does not support wireless charging but still offers a triple camera system with similar specifications as the Ultra model. The Edge 50 Pro also has a high refresh rate OLED display.

The Motorola Edge 50 Fusion is the most affordable option in the series, featuring a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor and up to 12GB of memory. It comes with a two-camera system and has a hot pink vegan suede backing. All three models have IP68 ratings for water and dust resistance.

Motorola's new feature, Style Sync, generates wallpapers that match your outfit patterns and color palettes by uploading a picture of the pattern of your outfit. This tool is available on all three Edge 50 series phones.

The Edge 50 Ultra also has an impressive camera system with AI-powered features like adaptive stabilization, auto focus tracking, action shot, photo enhancement engine, and long exposure. Motorola's new Moto Buds+ with Sound by Bose are also available for purchase and offer active noise cancellation and EQ tuning.

The Edge 50 series phones will be available first outside of North America in the coming weeks. The exact launch date for North America is yet to be announced.

  • Deception (80%)
    The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author expresses her skepticism towards Motorola's camera capabilities based on her past experiences, but this is not a deceptive practice as it is an opinion. However, the author focuses on the wood and vegan leather finishes of the new Motorola smartphones while mentioning their technical specifications in passing. This selective reporting could give readers a biased impression that these phones are only notable for their materials rather than their performance. The author also uses emotional manipulation by expressing curiosity about how the wood finish will age over time.
    • The idea harkens back to when Android brands like LG, no longer in the smartphone business, tried on leather backs with the LG G4 for an added premium feel.
    • It'll be curious to see how it ages with time.
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The article contains some instances of appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric, but no formal or dichotomous fallacies are present. The author mentions the Qualcomm Snapdragon processors used in the Motorola Edge 50 series as a way to establish credibility and appeal to the reader's trust in well-known technology brands. Additionally, there are instances of inflammatory language such as 'hedging its bets' and 'dubious about Motorola’s abilities.' However, these do not significantly impact the overall content or argument of the article.
    • ]The series features three new models, from premium to mid-range, available in various finishes, from vegan leather (plastic) to wood.[

    The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when the author states 'Every Pantone Validated device has met Pantone’s evaluation and grading criteria by authentically simulating the full range of real-world Pantone Colors.' This statement implies that because a device has been certified by Pantone, it is inherently better or more accurate in its color representation. However, this does not necessarily mean that the device's color representation is superior to other devices without such certification.

Additionally, she makes statements like 'The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra wooden-back phone comes with a Pantone-validated smartphone camera and display' without providing any context or explanation as to what this means or why it is significant, which could be seen as selective reporting.
