Motorola’s Edge series has some of the best all-rounder phones, which makes the launch of the Edge 50 series such a big deal. But did Moto get overambitious with the pricing? Motorola Edge 50 Ultra €1,000 Motorola Edge 50 Pro €700 Motorola Edge 50 Fusion €400 Starting with the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, would you really pay €1,000 for a phone with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3?

The Samsung Galaxy M55 quietly launched in Europe and South America this week, but something tells us that people won’t be lining up along the street to get one. And that something is last week’s poll where most people made it clear that there are better options in the mid-range.Looking at that €550 price in Europe, we can’t disagree – the Galaxy A55 (€480 right now) is one such mid-ranger. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 really did feel like a first generation product, so using it in the M55 was a mistake.
