The Motorola Edge 50 Fusion is available in several regions and starting next week, it will be available in Germany too. We have a review unit at the office and there is plenty to test \u2013 the 6.7\u201d 144Hz display, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, 50+13MP cameras and the 5,000mAh battery with 68W fast wired-only charging. We will report back with our findings soon. The Fusion is on pre-order right now, but open sales start on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Fusion is a more affordable alternative to the Motorola Edge 50 Pro. That said, the Pro is \u20ac100 less than it was at launch. It has a higher resolution 144Hz OLED display (1220p+ vs. 1080p+), both are curved. The Pro has the more powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip and a 10MP 3x tele camera on top of what the Fusion offers. The battery is smaller at 4,500mAh, but it supports very fast wired and wireless charging (120W and 50W, respectively).<\/p>\n

For around the same price as the Fusion, you can have the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ from Xiaomi instead. It has that higher resolution 1220p+ display (at only 120Hz, but it is a 12-bit panel). It\u2019s curved too, if that is something that you care about. The Note jumps over to the MediaTek camp with a Dimensity 7200 Ultra and packs an impressive 200MP main camera. It has in-sensor zoom, which isn\u2019t as good as the dedicated lens on the Edge 50 Pro, but it does beat the Fusion. This one splits the difference with a 5,000mAh battery but with 120W wired-only charging.<\/p>\n

Another option from Xiaomi at around this price is the Poco X6 Pro. It skips the 200MP camera (it has a basic 64MP module instead), but focuses on more performance with a Dimensity 8300 Ultra. The display is a flat 6.67\u201d OLED panel (120Hz, 12-bit). The phone has a weaker dust and water resistance rating compared to the Redmi Note (IP54 vs. IP68) and slower 67W wired-only charging for its 5,000mAh battery.<\/p>\n

Moving on to cheaper 5G models, the Samsung Galaxy A25 is down to just over \u20ac200. It is powered by the old Exynos 1280 and a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging. The display is a 6.5\u201d 120Hz OLED (FHD+) and you get a 50MP main camera (with a small 1\/2.76\u201d sensor and OIS) plus an 8MP ultra wide. The main camera can record 4K video at 30fps.<\/p>\n

Some \u20ac50 cheaper is the Galaxy A15 5G. This one uses the Dimensity 6100+ instead and runs its 6.5\u201d FHD+ OLED display at 90Hz. Other changes include demoting the ultra wide camera to 5MP and dropping the stereo speakers. Still, \u20ac50 cheaper is a major discount in this price range.<\/p>\n

Instead of the A15, you could get the Poco C65 from Xiaomi. This one has a larger 6.74\u201d IPS LCD (90Hz), but it only has HD+ resolution. And with a Helio G85 chipset, it only has 4G connectivity. There\u2019s no ultra wide camera on board and the 5,000mAh battery charges at only 18W (vs. 25W for the A15).<\/p>\n
