Motorola's new Edge series is looking to make a mark in the sub-Rs. 30,000 market in India. The company has launched two smartphones so far, the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion which starts at Rs. 21,499 and the Motorola Edge 20 which is priced at Rs.

 

29,999. I've already reviewed the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion, and found it to be a good choice for someone looking for a capable device running near-stock Android. The Edge 20 boasts of a more powerful processor, a higher refresh rate display, better cameras, and 5G support. So should the Motorola Edge 20 be your first choice under Rs. 30,000? I put it to the test to find out.

The Motorola Edge 20 is priced at Rs. 29,999 for the lone configuration, which is 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. You do get two colour choices, Frosted Pearl and Frosted Emerald. I had the latter for this review.

The Motorola Edge 20 feels like a chocolate bar in the hand. It is rectangular, slim, and tall. I also found it to be fairly light at 163g. The front of the Motorola Edge 20 is dominated by a 6.7-inch display with a camera hole at the top. It has thin bezels all around which give it a premium look.

 

The frame is made of an aluminium alloy and feels sturdy to the touch. Motorola has put the power and the volume buttons on the right, with the latter being positioned slightly higher than ideal. The power button also has an integrated fingerprint scanner and has a nice clicky feel when pressed.
