Samsung first introduced the A20e back in 2019, but we never saw the A21e or A22e models, so it’s intriguing to see an A23e variant three years later. As for connectivity, it’s unclear if this phone will support 5G.

I love the Redmi K50i because of its quality price ratio. It offers a few specifications you can usually find on midrange and budget phones, but at the same time, it has a few flagship-killing specifications as well. It is a perfect phone for gamers and for those who seek the highest performance, but you can find it at very reasonable prices. There is another category of devices closer to this, but more suitable for casual users instead of niches: the upper midrange phones. One of the latest devices in this category is the Motorola Edge 30 and we believe it is a perfect competitor for the Redmi K50i. This is the reason why we decided to publish a comparison between the main specifications of the Redmi K50i by Xiaomi and the Motorola Edge 30. You should like this comparison if you love phones with high value for money and balanced specifications.

Design
If you are looking for the best design, you should choose the Motorola Edge 30 without thinking twice. It is one of the thinnest and most lightweight phones in the market, probably the thinnest and most lightweight of 2022. It is just 6.8 mm thick and it weighs just 155 grams. Despite that, it is water repellent and its front glass is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. However, it is not built with premium materials, as it comes with a plastic back and a polycarbonate frame too. The Motorola wins the design comparison, but the Redmi K50i is all but ugly. It is definitely thicker, but it has a high screen to body ratio and a beautiful rear cover, even though it is not made with premium materials. So both these phones are pretty nice, but now you know what to choose.
Display
The Motorola Edge 30 is the winner even when it comes to the display. There is no way for the Redmi K50i to compete. The Edge 30 is equipped with an AMOLED panel that is able to show up to one billion colors with a diagonal of 6.5 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 144 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification, as well as an in-display optical fingerprint reader. With the Redmi K50i from Xiaomi sub-brand, you get a disappointing LCD display in terms of image quality. Well, it is not a bad panel with its HDR10 certification and Dolby Vision support, but it is far from the AMOLED display of its rival. It has a diagonal of 6.6 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels, the Gorilla Glass 5 protection by Corning, and a 144 Hz refresh rate. The fingerprint reader is side-mounted, on the power key. Both the handsets feature stereo speakers and provide good audio quality.
Specs & Software
The most powerful processor is the one found on the Redmi K50i. We are referring to a Dimensity 8100 SoC by MediaTek built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture. This chipset is composed of four Cortex A78 CPUs running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs running at a max frequency of 2 GHz, and a Mali G610 MC6 GPU. The SoC is paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The Motorola Edge 30 has the same memory configuration but with a lower-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G Plus mobile platform running at a max frequency of 2.5 GHz and including an Adreno 642L GPU. Both the handsets run Android 12 out of the box, but the user interface of the Motorola is close to stock Android, while the Redmi has a customized user interface based on Android 12.
Camera
The Motorola Edge 30 is equipped with a better rear camera setup. It is composed of a 50 MP main camera (the great Sony IMX766 sensor) including OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP depth sensor. The Redmi K50i has a triple camera composed of a midrange-class 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera: there is definitely no challenge between these two phones. The Motorola is better even when it comes to selfies, thanks to a 32 MP front snapper against just 16 MP found on the Redmi.
Last but not least, is the battery. The Redmi K50i provides a longer battery life thanks to its huge 5080 mAh battery and it even charges quicker thanks to 67W fast charging. Unfortunately, the battery is the weak point of the Motorola Edge 30: it has a sleeker design, but the capacity is just 4020 mAh.
Price
Motorola Edge 30 starts from Rs. 28,900 / $365 in the Indian market, while the Redmi K50i begins at Rs. 25,999 / $329. If it was not for the small battery, the Motorola Edge 30 would be a much better phone than the K50i. But despite that, it still wins this comparison. Which one would you pick?

Samsung Galaxy Watch5 – Specs & Features
The next generation of digital health monitoring is powered by Samsung’s own BioActive Sensor, which is a feature of the Galaxy Watch5. The BioActive Sensor, which debuted on the Galaxy Watch4 series, combines three potent health sensors into a single, special chip to provide comprehensive measurements that include heart rate, blood oxygen level, and even stress level. These readings come from the BioActive Sensor. Additionally, users can monitor their ECG from their wrist to gain a greater understanding of their heart health.
The Galaxy Watch5 tracks health parameters with even better accuracy than Galaxy Watch4 because of its larger surface area and closer contact with your wrist. Additionally, the Galaxy Watch5 series’ other sensors, like the recently added temperature sensor, work in conjunction with its potent 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor to give consumers a comprehensive awareness of their wellness. Even when the temperature of your surroundings varies, the temperature sensor uses infrared technology for more precise readings. This creates new opportunities for both users and developers to benefit from brand-new experiences related to health and wellness.
