A few days back, Motorola unveiled the Edge 50 Fusion. This smartphone was announced alongside the Edge 50 Pro and the Edge 50 Ultra.
It is the most affordable of all three phones. It also comes in two variants for different markets.
One of these versions is exclusive to Latin America. This model has a downgraded chipset but a faster display.
That being said, the Edge 50 Fusion is expected to be released soon in India. Since the Edge 50 Pro is already available in the country with a starting price of ₹31,999, we can guess the price of the former.
The Edge 50 Fusion will likely cost around ₹25,000 in India. At this price, it will compete with several popular devices. Let’s have a look at some of its potential alternatives.
1. OnePlus Nord CE 4
The OnePlus Nord CE 4 is probably the well-balanced smartphone in this price segment just like its predecessor OnePlus Nord CE 3. It starts at ₹24,999 in the country.
At this price, it offers a more powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip compared to a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 inside the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion. However, the Nord sports a flat 120Hz OLED display compared to a curved 144Hz OLED panel on the Fusion.
Further, the Nord CE 4 comes with a larger 5,5000mAh battery and also supports faster 100W wired charging.
2. Nothing Phone 2a
Nothing Phone 2a is the most unique-looking smartphone in its segment. It starts at ₹23,999 in India.
It is powered by a MediaTke Dimensity 7200 Pro chip, which is again more powerful than the silicon present underneath the Edge 50 Fusion. It has also got Glyph LED lights for personalized customizations.
The Phone 2a may have a flat OLED display but it sports a higher megapixel 50MP ultrawide camera. Finally, the battery is the same at 5,000mAh capacity but it only supports 45W wired charging, and the power adapter is not included in the box.
3. Redmi Note 13 Pro
The Redmi Note 13 Pro starts at ₹24,999 in India. It is powered by the same Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset as the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion.
The Redmi Phone also arrives with a higher 200MP primary camera and a larger 5,100mAh battery. But the charging speed is comparable at 67W.
Lastly, the 120Hz OLED display may be flat but it can play Dolby Vision content. Also, the panel is sharper as it has a 1.5K resolution (2712 x 1220 pixels).
4. Realme 12 Pro
The Realme 12 Pro also starts at ₹24,999 in India. It is the only competitor that also has a curved display and a vegan leather back.
However, the handset houses a less powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip. Anyhoo, the battery capacity and charging speed are nearly identical at 5,000mAh and 67W, respectively.
Most importantly, the Realme 12 Pro is the only device on the list with a proper three lens camera system. It arrives with a 50MP primary sensor, a 32MP 2x telephoto shooter, and an 8MP ultrawide unit.
5. Samsung Galaxy M55
The Galaxy M55 is the best option for someone looking for a Samsung alternative in this segment. It starts at ₹26,999 in India.
The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset. This makes it slower than the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion.
However, Samsung will offer longer software support than any other handset on this list. It will receive four Android updates and five years of security updates.
At last, the smartphone supports 45W wired charging but the power adapter needs to be purchased separately.
