It's IP68 rated. Can such a slim real wood back be truly water resistant?
A hands-on article from the same website says it's not pure wood. It's been treated to protect it from water and skin oil
The backplate would be the only one made out of wood. It should also have some form of coating to make sure it doesn't get damaged easily. But, prolonged use can damage it like any other smartphone or perhaps more.
Unless, you plan on submerging or washing it on a daily basis. It should be fine.
The design is dope af
The standout camera is the 3x 72mm periscope, which is equipped with a 64MP sensors (0.7µm pixels) and a bright f/2.4 aperture.
You can't just throw the word periscope in there with no explanation unless this phone also comes with sonar and torpedoes
Periscope is a type of zoom lens that has been used in smartphones for a while. Here's an android police article on the subject: https://www.androidpolice.com/how-periscope-cameras-work/
Wow, never heard of that before. Actually a really interesting article, cheers!
Has moto said how long OS and security support will be? Might be a deal breaker for me.
They offer 3-4 years of OS and security updates on the edge 50 pro. So, expect that at the minimum.
The color of that peach fuzz reminds me of the rotary in our kitchen where I lived as a kid. An option besides black or white is nice!
Vegan leather 🤣
Looks fine, but the Edge 50 Pro is a monental downgrade over its own predecessor.
