Motorola today announced that the Moto Edge S30 is now receiving the MYUI/My UX 3.0 update based on Android 12.

The complete official changelog for the update has been given below (via IT Home).

• Brand new Android 12 interface, smoother system experience
• Ready for the latest experience, support as PC camera, fast file transfer, mobile network sharing
• New desktop drop-down control center, more choices
• The application is multi-open and fully covered, and some applications may have adaptation problems, which are gradually optimized

My UX is very much like the software that the Google Pixels run but there are a few tweaks here and there. Unlike skins like One UI and MIUI, the skin strictly adheres to Material You guidelines so you’ll be getting a very pure Android experience, quite like how Google intends it to be.

It is important to note here that after installing this update, users will not be able to downgrade to previous software versions. The update instructions show that the installation process can take up to 30 minutes, although the phone can be used normally for much of the duration. After the installation is complete, you will be prompted to restart, and the system upgrade will be completed thereafter.

The Motorola Edge S30 was released in December last year and is equipped with a Snapdragon 888 Plus processor. It uses a 6.8-inch LCD screen with an FHD+ resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The battery is sized 5000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

The Motorola Edge S30 Champion Edition was only released this morning in China but has managed to pull in some really impressive sales figures already. Chen Jin, general manager of Lenovo China’s mobile phone business department, announced with a post on Weibo that the device sold 10,000 units within just 10 minutes of being put up for sale.

He added that the device sold a bit too fast and many platforms are reporting that they’ve run out of stock.

The Motorola Edge S30 Champion Edition is a souped-up version of the standard Edge 30 that was launched on December 21. It features an expanded memory config with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Aside from this, it is the same as the vanilla model.

The phone is priced 2,499 Yuan (around $392) and is fairly cheap for the processor it packs — you get last year’s flagship from Qualcomm — the Snapdragon 888 Plus. It sports an FHD+ 6.8-inch LCD screen with a 144Hz refresh rate.

For photography, there’s a triple camera module at the rear comprising 108MP primary, 13MP ultrawide, and 2MP depth units. Fueling it all is a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

The Motorola Edge S30 Champion Edition runs the Android 12 operating system with the company’s own My UI 2.0 on top.

The Xiaomi 12 series includes the most compact flagship released in 2022, but for Xiaomi, this was not enough. The company decided to launch another compact phone alongside the original Xiaomi 12: we are talking about the Xiaomi 12X. It is still a high-end device and it is still very compact, but it is an even more affordable flagship killer. A device belonging to the same range debuted even in the last Motorola lineup, but it can be considered the opposite because it is a big phablet: the Motorola Edge S30. This is a comparison between one of the most compact flagship killers and one of the biggest ones and we believe it will be useful for a lot of gamers and power users looking for a new phone who cannot spend a lot of money.

Xiaomi 12X vs Motorola Edge S30

Design

The Xiaomi 12X undoubtedly wins the design comparison because of its amazing compact body and its very high screen to body ratio. You can easily use the Xiaomi 12X with one single hand, at least if compared to all the other high-end phones out there, and you can comfortably keep it in a pocket. The design of the camera module is very elegant, even though it almost looks like a copy of the latest Realme flagships. Besides being more compact, the Xiaomi 12X is a thinner and lighter device thanks to its smaller display and battery. The Motorola Edge S30 is definitely too big for those who search for a decent device for one-handed use, and it is also thick and pretty heavy.

Display

As already mentioned, with a diagonal of just 6.28 inches, the Xiaomi 12X packs a smaller display than the Motorola Edge S30. But it is a way better panel if we compare it to the latest Motorola flagship killer. First of all, unlike its rival, it has an OLED panel showing brighter colors and deeper blacks. Further, it is able to show up to one billion colors, and it supports the Dolby Vision standard and the HDR10+ certification improving the image quality on multimedia content. The display has a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and it is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. With the Motorola Edge S30, you actually get a bigger panel with a diagonal of 6.8 inches and a higher 144 Hz refresh rate. These are great added values for those who want to use their phones to work or play games. But if you need the best image quality, this is not the right phone for you as it packs an IPS display. Xiaomi 12X has an in-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers, while the Edge S30 does not.

Specs & Software

The Motorola Edge S30 is the king when it comes to hardware and it is a better phone for those who seek the best performance in the most advanced usage scenarios. It is powered by the amazing Snapdragon 888 Plus mobile platform supported by up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Even though it offers the same memory configuration, the Xiaomi 12X is not able to compete with its opponent because it is fueled by the weaker Snapdragon 870: still a high-end mobile platform, but far from the Snapdragon 888 Plus. The presence of Android 12 out of the box on the 12X is really appreciated.

Camera

The Xiaomi 12X can be considered a good camera phone thanks to a 50 MP main camera supporting optical stabilization. The Motorola Edge S30 is just an average phone when it comes to the cameras, due to its inferior 108 MP main sensor and no OIS. Both the phones pack a 13 MP ultrawide camera and an additional sensor for macros, but the macro camera of the Xiaomi 12X is better with its 5 MP resolution, as well as the 32 MP selfie camera.

Battery

The Motorola Edge S30 has bigger dimensions which make room for a bigger battery, thanks to which it is able to last more in a lot of scenarios. The Xiaomi 12X has a smaller battery but it charges faster thanks to 67W technology.

Price

You need at least €280/$320 to purchase the Motorola Edge S30 in China, while Xiaomi 12X starts from €440/$502. Despite the Edge S30 packing a better processor, a bigger battery, and a wider display, the 12X is a superior phone due to its better cameras, faster charging, and display. However, if you are a gamer, getting the Motorola flagship makes more sense (and it also comes with a higher value for money).

Vivo made us a great surprise for this final part of 2021: it released the iQOO Neo 5S, a flagship with the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform which not everyone expected in a period in which the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 went official. But despite it being very recent, it has a lot of rivals to fight with. That is why we are comparing it to a lot of phones. After the comparison with iQOO Neo 5SE and the one with OnePlus 9RT 5G, here is a comparison between the specifications of the iQOO Neo 5S and the new Motorola Edge S30 which debuted alongside the Edge X30 as a more affordable handset with flagship-class performance.

Vivo iQOO Neo 5S vs Motorola Edge S30

Design

I personally prefer the aesthetics of the iQOO Neo 5S because it is a more compact device and it is even thinner. The Motorola Edge S30 has a higher screen to body ratio, but it is a bigger phone due to its bigger display. On the other hand, it is an interesting device in terms of build quality because it has a water repellent coating. Both the phones are made of polycarbonate so, despite they being high-end devices, they do not offer premium designs. Their displays come with a punch hole placed at the center, while on the rear side there are two different camera modules: the one of the Edge S30 is definitely more minimalistic.

Display

There is no challenge if we talk about the display: the iQOO Neo 5S is the winner. Unlike the Motorola Edge S30, it features a great AMOLED panel. The display has a diagonal of 6.62 inches, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The Motorola Edge S30 has a wider 6.8-inch diagonal and a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, but it comes with an IPS panel showing less impressive colors. The iQOO Neo 5S has an in-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers, while Motorola Edge S30 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a mono speaker.

Specs & Software

With the Motorola Edge S30, you can get slightly better hardware because it is powered by the Snapdragon 888 Plus mobile platform: an upgrade of the Snapdragon 888 found on the iQOO Neo 5S. In both cases, the SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. A great added value of these devices is the fact that they run Android 12 out of the box. Android 12 is customized by the brand new OriginOS Ocean user interface on the iQOO Neo 5S, while the Motorola Edge S30 relies on the MYUI.

Camera

Do not get fooled by the resolutions: despite the Motorola Edge S30 having a 108 MP main camera, the iQOO Neo 5S is able to provide a higher photo quality because it has a better main camera with a 48 MP resolution and OIS. In both cases, the main camera is paired with a 13 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor. The iQOO Neo 5S looks to have a better 16 MP front camera.

Battery

The Motorola Edge S30 should be able to provide longer battery life in a lot of scenarios thanks to its bigger 5000 mAh battery, but it does not apply to each and every usage pattern because its display consumes a lot more energy if compared to the AMOLED panel of the iQOO Neo 5S. Further, the Vivo flagship charges quicker thanks to 66W fast charging (against just 33W).

Price

You need at least €380/$430 to purchase the iQOO Neo 5S in China, while the Motorola Edge S30 starts from just €280/$317. The iQOO Neo 5S is a superior handset thanks to a better display, faster charging, and a superior camera department, but the Motorola Edge S30 offers a slightly better chipset and a bigger battery for a more affordable price.

A lot of people are actually impressed by the Motorola Edge X30 which came up as the world’s first smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. But there is another flagship killer even more affordable which is catalyzing the attention of the experts: the new Motorola Edge S30. A lot of people are wondering whether or not the Motorola Edge S30 is the best flagship killer in terms of value for money. In order to understand it, we think that the best way is comparing it to the other flagship killers providing the same level of performance. After the comparison with the Motorola Edge X30, here is a comparison between Motorola Edge S30 and Realme GT.

Realme GT 5G vs Motorola Edge S30

Design

The Racing Yellow color option of the Realme GT 5G wins the design comparison as it is one of the most beautiful and original phones of this year. It has a rear cover made of leather and an aluminum frame, as well as more compact dimensions if compared to its rival. The non-leather version of the handset is built with a glass back and an aluminum frame. The Motorola Edge S30 is a bit disappointing in terms of design because it is entirely made of plastic and has big dimensions. The Realme GT 5G is more attractive and built with more premium materials, but at least the Edge S30 is a water-repellent phone.

Display

If you are looking for the most advanced display, then you should go for the Realme GT 5G without thinking twice. Unlike its opponent, it has an AMOLED display showing richer colors. It is a smaller display, but the image quality is higher. The display has a Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The Motorola Edge S30 features a higher 144 Hz refresh rate and HDR10, as well as a wider 6.8-inch diagonal, but it is an average LCD panel and you do not get the same image quality. Last but not least, the Realme GT 5G has an in-display fingerprint scanner and stereo speakers, while the Motorola Edge S30 has a mono speaker and a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

The Motorola Edge S30 wins the hardware comparison because it features a stronger chipset: the Snapdragon 888+ running at a max frequency of 2.99 GHz and supported by up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The memory configuration of the Realme GT 5G is the same, but it is paired with a weaker Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. However, the difference in terms of performance is just marginal. Both the phones run Android 11, but the Realme GT 5G has a more advanced customized interface with a higher number of exclusive features.

Camera

The best camera phone of this comparison is the Motorola Edge S30. It provides a better main camera with a 108 MP resolution, as well as a better 13 MP ultrawide sensor. Further, it has a selfie camera with a brighter focal aperture. The Motorola Edge S30 is able to record 4K videos and 10-bit videos with HDR10+, and this is another added value.

Battery

The Motorola Edge S30 packs a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh, which is actually bigger than the battery of the Realme GT 5G. So it should provide a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios and this is very important because the battery life is the weakest point of the Realme GT 5G. On the other hand, Realme GT 5G supports 65W fast charging and it charges a lot quicker than Motorola Edge S30.

Price

The Motorola Edge S30 hitten the Chinese market with a starting price of €280/$317, while you can find the Realme GT 5G in the global market with a €399/$452 starting price. At the moment, Edge S30 is only available in China. At the end of the day, I personally prefer the Realme GT 5G due to its better display and design, but the Motorola Edge S30 has a slightly superior chipset, bigger battery, and a slightly better camera. Which one would you pick?

Motorola recently announced the world’s first phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but it was not alone. Alongside the Motorola Edge X30, the Lenovo-owned brand also came up with the lower-end Motorola Edge S30. Powered by the Snapdragon 888+ mobile platform, it is one of the most powerful and affordable flagship killers out there. But is it able to compete with a complete flagship killer like the OnePlus Nord 2 5G which is currently one of the best-selling devices in its price range? This comparison between the specifications of Motorola Edge S30 and OnePlus Nord 2 5G will let you find out.

OnePlus Nord 2 5G vs Motorola Edge S30

Design

The OnePlus Nord 2 5G is a more attractive device when it comes to aesthetics. It is more compact, thinner, and lighter than Motorola Edge S30, thanks to the presence of a compact display and a smaller battery. Further, it is built with better materials: it has a glass back protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 (just like the display) and a plastic frame, while the Motorola Edge S30 is entirely built of plastic. But the Motorola Edge S30 has a water-repellent coating, so it offers some kind of protection against water. OnePlus Nord 2 5G and Motorola Edge S30 have a punch-hole display with holes placed on the upper left side and centrally, respectively.

Display

For most of the users, the display of the OnePlus Nord 2 5G is actually better. Unlike the Motorola Edge S30, it has an AMOLED panel. It is a smaller screen but the image quality is higher, not only thanks to the OLED panel but also because of the HDR10+ certification. The OnePlus Nord 2 5G has a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a 90 Hz refresh rate, and it is paired with stereo speakers. The Motorola Edge S30 has an LCD panel with a Full HD+ resolution and the HDR10 certification: it is inferior, but if you are a gamer, then you should opt for it because it offers a higher 144 Hz refresh rate and a wider diagonal with 6.8 inches.

Specs & Software

The hardware department is the killer feature of the Motorola Edge S30: despite its incredibly affordable price, it is powered by the Snapdragon 888+ mobile platform that is the best Qualcomm’s chipset after the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. You can get the same memory configuration with the OnePlus Nord 2 5G but with an inferior MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. It is still a high-end processor, but it is not even close to the performance provided by the amazing Snapdragon 888+. Both the phones run Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

Do not get fooled by the Megapixels: even though the Motorola Edge S30 has a 108 MP main camera, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G wins the camera comparison because it offers a better main sensor. We are talking about the Sony IMX766 with a 50 MP resolution and OIS (the Edge S30 does not even support OIS). The Motorola Edge S30 has a better 13 MP ultrawide camera, while the OnePlus Nord 2 5G wins again when it comes to the selfie camera thanks to a 32 MP front snapper.

• Read More: Motorola global smartphone shipments to cross 53 million units in 2021: Lenovo Exec

Battery

The Motorola Edge S30 has a bigger battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh, but its display consumes more energy (because it is an LCD panel with a higher refresh rate), so it does not always guarantee a longer battery life. Further, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G charges quicker thanks to 65W fast charging (the Edge S30 has just 33W).

Price

The starting price of the Motorola Edge S30 in China roughly translates into €280/$315 (still not available in Europe), while the OnePlus Nord 2 5G starts from €399/$450 globally (prices vary depending on the region). Overall, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G is a more complete and valid device for the average user due to its AMOLED display, better cameras, faster charging. But the Motorola Edge S30 is superior for gamers and power users thanks to its better hardware, big battery, and wider 144 Hz display.

Motorola Edge X30 vs Motorola Edge S30

Design

Motorola Edge X30 and Edge S30 debuted with attractive and water-repellent designs. They do not have an IP certification, but they still offer protection against water. The Motorola Edge X30 is built with more premium materials as it comes with a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and making it more elegant, while the Motorola Edge S30 is entirely made of polycarbonate with the exception of the front glass. The Motorola Edge X30 is thinner and lighter than Edge S30, and it is even more compact thanks to the presence of a smaller display with a higher screen to body ratio. The fingerprint readers of these handsets are side-mounted.

Display

One of the most important advantages of the Motorola Edge X30,(even more important than the processor) is the display. While the Edge S30 offers a disappointing IPS panel, the Edge X30 has an OLED display that can show up to one billion colors with a 144 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. With a diagonal of 6.8 inches, the Edge S30 has a wider display, but it is an inferior LCD panel with a 144 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10 certification. With the Motorola Edge X30, you actually get a higher image quality under every aspect. Further, it is equipped with stereo speakers, while the Edge S30 has a mono speaker. This is an important difference when it comes to multimedia and music listening.

Specs & Software

The best memory configuration of these two devices is the same: 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage; what changes is the processor. The Motorola Edge X30 has the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that is currently the most advanced mobile platform in the Android market, while the Edge S30 has the predecessor Snapdragon 888+. Even though the Edge S30 has an inferior processor, most of the users won’t notice the difference because in both cases we are talking about two of the best processors out there. Note that the Edge X30 runs Android 12, while the Edge S30 is still based on Android 11.

Camera

There is no challenge: the Motorola Edge X30 is way better than Edge S30 if we talk about the cameras. It is equipped with a main 50 MP camera with OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor. The Edge S30 has the same 2 MP depth sensor, but the remaining cameras are inferior: a 108 MP main sensor without OIS and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor. Last but not least, the Edge X30 is one of the best selfie phones thanks to a great 60 MP front snapper.

Battery

Both Motorola Edge X30 and Edge S30 feature a 5000 mAh battery, but the former will most likely provide a longer battery life in every scenario because its display and its processor are more efficient and they consume less energy. Further, the Edge X30 has a faster 68W charging technology.

Price

The starting price of the Motorola Edge X30 in the Chinese market roughly translates into €420/$475, while the Edge S30 starts from €280/$317 in China. Motorola still did not announce when these handsets will make their way outside China. Overall, the Edge X30 is a much better device due to a superior display, better chipset, great cameras, and faster charging. It is definitely worth spending more on it.

Apart from the premium flagship Moto Edge X30, Motorola also took the wraps off a second flagship device. The second model is the Motorola Edge S30 5G, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset.

The Motorola Edge S30 5G is the second model under the new Edge S series with the first model, the Edge S 5G launched at the beginning of the year. The new model comes with a refined design and an impressive specs lineup.

The Edge S30 packs a 6.8-inch straight-edge LCD screen with an FHD+ resolution of 2460 X 1080 pixels. The display also supports a high refresh rate of 144Hz, a touch sampling rate of up to 576Hz, and also supports HDR. In terms of eye protection, the display is certified by SGS meaning it is friendly to the eyes.

In terms of hardware, the Moto Edge S30 packs a Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset. The processor is built on Samsung’s 5nm process. It still uses a three-cluster architecture consisting of a 3.0GHz super core, a 2.4GHz Cortex A78 large core, and a 1.8GHz Cortex A55 energy efficiency core. The main frequency has been increased from 2.84GHz on the Snapdragon 888 to 3.0GHz, but the GPU is still the Adreno 660. In addition, AI performance has also been greatly improved, with computing power soaring to 32TOPS, an increase of up to 20%.

The device comes in three memory versions- 6GB, 8GB, and 12GB LPDDR5 RAM versions as well as 128GB and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.

For optics, the Motorola Edge S30 packs a triple camera setup at the rear arranged vertically at the top left corner of the device. The camera setup consists of a 100MP main camera, teaming up with a 13MP ultra-wide angle lens and a 2MP depth sensor. The camera setup also integrates the moto AI camera algorithm.

In terms of sound, Motorola edge S30 supports Dolby Atmos technology, and also adds Qualcomm’s latest Bluetooth audio sharing technology (QSS). Compared with the traditional Aptx, the upper limit of QSS delay is reduced to 170ms, and the lower limit of sound quality is increased by 100%.

Keeping the lights on is a mammoth 5,000mAh battery and the device also supports 33W fast charging. It runs on the Android 11 operating system.

The device will go on sale from December 10.

Lenovo’s Motorola brand is expected to launch the Motorola Edge S30 in China soon. The Edge S30 is expected to bear the same design and specifications as the Moto G200 that was launched for the global market recently. In other words, it will launch as the Chinese variant of the Moto G200.

Lenovo’s product manager had earlier revealed that the company will launch two flagship phones soon and one of them will feature an LCD screen. Popular blogger Digital Chat Station has now disclosed that the Edge S30 will come with a 6.78-inch LCD screen having a superb refresh rate of 144Hz.

Apart from the high refresh rate that is tailored to allow for seamless and smooth gameplay of titles with high frame rates, the device will also pack a Snapdragon 888 Plus processor just like the global version. This potentially makes the Edge S30 one of the few LCD display-packing flagships in the market.

In addition, the Motorola Edge S30 will cram a built-in 4700mAh battery and will have support for 33W fast charging. Furthermore, it will pack a 108MP main camera. The phone has a thickness of 8.8mm and weighs just 202g.

Apart from the Edge S30, Motorola is also expected to announce the Edge X30 at the same time. The device will emerge as the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip-powered Motorola phone. The chipset is built using Samsung’s 4nm process technology and offer several improvements in performance and power management.

Last week, Motorola announced 5 smartphones. One of them was Moto G200. This device is expected to go official as Motorola Edge S30 in China. Ahead of it, the parent company Lenovo accidentally reveals a Transformers Edition of the handset.

Lenovo is offering discounts on almost all of its smartphone portfolio in collaboration with Hasbro’s Transformers in China. On one of the promotional pages for these offers, the PC giant appears to have coincidentally exposed the renders of yet-to-release Motorola Edge S30 Transformers Edition.

These renders have been now taken down. But multiple netizens managed to save them and certain Chinese publications like ITHome even reported on this incident.

The renders showcase the Motorola Edge S30 Transformers Edition in a navy blue color with ‘Autobot’ logos imprinted all over its back. In fact, the rear Motorola Batwing logo is replaced by a large red-colored Autobot logo at the center. However, there’s still a ‘motorola’ branding at the bottom.

The special version of the phone will be most likely similar to the regular version in terms of specifications. It should only differ in terms of looks and might come with a customized software themed after the Transformers.

Motorola Edge S30 is expected to go official in China before the end of 2021. The main highlights of the handset include a 6.-inch 144Hz display (LCD), Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ chipset, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 108MP (wide) 13MP (ultra-wide, macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup, 16MP selfie camera, plastic body, 5,000mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.
