Read our full Motorola Edge 30 Neo review here. With software as clean as you can get on any non-Pixel Android, a 120Hz display, and 68W fast charging, the Motorola Edge 30 Neo is a pretty and compact option that your pocket will appreciate, in all senses. Motoroala's choice of colors, Ice Palace, Veri Peri, and Aqua Foam colorways (greyish, purplish, and greenish colors), are also pleasing to the eye. As it is a cheaper phone, the The 30 Neo stakes its claim as the colorful, fun, member of the Edge family. Since it's part of the Motorola Edge 30 line, it shares a lot of the brand's flagship style. The Motorola Edge 30 Neo might not be as good a camera phone as the Pixel 6a, nor as good as gaming as its other Motorola Edge 30 brothers, but it makes up for it with its bright display, slight body, and striking design. Where rivals from Motorola and Oppo offer brisk charging speeds and long lasting batteries, that's almost enough to knock the Pixel 7a off our list entirely were it not for Google's other strong points. When combined with its terribly slow charger, power users may find themselves plugged into the wall for length swathes of the day. In our review, we found the Pixel 7a struggle to make a full day. However, because Google still sells the Pixel 6a for £100 less than the Pixel 7a, the Pixel 7a finds itself at the midpoint of our list due to battery durability concerns. With any Pixel, you're all but guaranteed to capture great snaps, have access to Google's latest and greatest software, and get updates right on the day they are ready.
BEST BUDGET APPS ANDOIRD ANDROID
Google's most attractive features here are its clean Android builds, camera, and fast updates. It costs a little more than the Pixel 6a did at launch, but that is because it offers a little more than the Pixel 6a did at launch. Google is adding wireless charging, a more powerful Tensor G2 processor, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a far more powerful camera. With the Pixel 7a, you're getting an improved Pixel 6a on almost all fronts. So, we've kept the older Pixel 6a in the list, as we think it's a better buy for people looking for a great cheap phone - and we should see more price cuts as well, making this smartphone even better value for money.
BEST BUDGET APPS ANDOIRD UPDATE
However, this update hasn't quite hit the mark, offering poor battery life and less value for money than the Pixel 6a. Google sadly only offers three years of software updates where Samsung and Apple offer four and five respectively.Īs we mentioned earlier, the Pixel 6a has been succeeded by the just-launched Pixel 7a. This means you'll get Android 14, Android 15 and uh, well that's about it. This means that you'll have performance that is just short of flagship tier.įor Android afficionados, you also have access to fast updates as soon as Google can kick them out. Oh, there's also that new Tensor chip Google's outfitted all its latest Pixel phones with.

Taking design cues from the Pixel 6 and the imaging strengths from the Pixel 5, it is a cute little photography machine. Google's phones have carved out a name for themselves in the camera sphere, and the Pixel 6a is no exception.
