Before the release of Snapdragon 8, no one may have thought that Moto Edge X30 would actually launch The Snapdragon 8 in the world, after all, Motorola's current domestic market is already a niche manufacturer and does not have much influence. But Motorola has not been afraid to stop in the domestic market, and in 2021, several new machines have been launched, including the edge s of the first Snapdragon 870, equipped with a 5x periscope telephoto edge s pro, which is also brushed with a wave of existence.
For Motorola, the moto edge X30 launch Snapdragon 8 is not only a good publicity selling point, but also a lot of pressure, because the Snapdragon 8 model released later may have to be compared with the forerunner of moto edge X30, and the performance optimization of snapdragon 8 will be further amplified. In addition, based on Motorola's current performance in the Chinese market, how to find out how the moto edge X30 can find its strengths and avoid weaknesses also needs to be pondered.
Exterior design with screen
The appearance of the moto edge X30 is decent, although the design of the camera is not good-looking, but the back cover uses Gorilla Glass, as well as the blessing of the AG process, which feels very good. The thickness of the mobile phone has reached 8.49mm, the weight is 194g, controlled within 200g, and it is not as heavy as imagined in the hand.
Moto edge X30 in the design of a little puzzling is that the volume key and power button are too high, plus the size of the phone itself is not small, press up the volume key and power button are quite troublesome. Fortunately, there is also a shortcut key on the left side of the fuselage, which can quickly go directly to an app or function.
Moto edge X30 front is equipped with a 6.7-inch size, 2400×1080 resolution, 10bit, 144Hz high brush screen, support DC dimming, covering 100% DC-P3 wide color gamut, the parameters are very beautiful, and it is a straight screen design, do not worry about what is touched by mistake. Regarding the performance of the screen refresh rate, the moto edge X30 is very aggressive, in 144Hz mode, as long as you swipe the screen, it basically maintains the highest 144Hz state, and the fluency is full. Choosing the smart mode, the refresh rate is switched between 120Hz and 60Hz according to the usage scenario, which is relatively more power-saving.
The performance is very aggressive Snapdragon 8
moto edge X30 world premiere Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, performance is naturally very exciting, we tested the phone's firmware has also been updated several times, but also the Snapdragon 8 has been fully optimized, we tested the software version for S0SC32.16-49-4.
First of all, the test of various running score software, Antutu running score 991538 points, GeekBench single-core 1222 points, multi-core 3765 points, 3DMark stress test, after 20 rounds of testing, the stability is 57.4%. Through the data of running points, it is not difficult to see that the performance of Snapdragon 8 is still very strong.
So what about the gaming experience? "Glory of the King" 120 ultra-high frame rate, 120Hz no pressure under the picture quality, in the room temperature environment of about 15 ° C, the temperature of the fuselage measured after 20 minutes is 37.3 ° C, and the feel is still an acceptable degree.
In the test of "Original God", moto edge X30 after playing for 30 minutes, the heat of the fuselage is somewhat strong, the grip is not very good, there is no lock frame during the game, and the number of catons is not much to experience more smoothly. However, we measured a maximum temperature of 41.8 °C on the front of the fuselage and a maximum temperature of 42.6 °C on the back of the fuselage.
Through the above tests, we can see that the moto edge X30 is still very aggressive for the release of performance, and the priority in the game scene is to ensure the smoothness of the game. Perhaps motorola's team believes that for a very powerful processor like the Snapdragon 8, prioritizing its powerful performance is the most important.
Of course, moto edge X30 is not blindly aggressive, in the use of daily Apps, moto edge X30 temperature control performance is still in place, the heat will not be so obvious, the normal use experience is good. In summary, if you are a mobile game player, the performance release of the moto edge X30 should not disappoint you, but buying a cooling fan to use will further enhance the experience.
Image representation
Moto edge X30 rear 50MP main camera, support OIS optical image stabilization; 50MP ultra-wide angle, support 2.5cm AF macro; 2MP depth of field lens; front 60MP, 1/2.8 inch, 1.2μm.
In the actual shooting experience, the main camera performance of the moto edge X30 is acceptable, whether it is day or night, it can give the expected shooting effect. Especially in low-light environments, the motot edge X30's camera effect is also excellent, can hold the highlight, the color will not be distorted, if the glare control of high light sources such as street lights is better, it is even better.
The ultra-wide angle is more suitable for shooting in daylight conditions because the hardware parameters are there, but this lens is also good for macro shooting. In general, the camera of the moto edge X30 is not much of an advantage in a number of flagship machines, but it is more than enough to meet the daily shooting of vibrato, fast hands, and send a circle of friends. The moto edge X30 is equipped with a high-pixel selfie lens, and the selfie effect looks at the picture.
Simple and smooth MYUI 3.0
Talking about moto edge X30, it is definitely impossible to bypass the system. Moto edge X30 is equipped with MYUI 3.0, through this period of use, I personally think it still has a lot of advantages.
First of all, the system's UI design animation is close to the native Android, the entire system compared to other domestic Android deep customization system, will not be so bloated, concise and smooth is very good, and even a little fresh feeling. The second advantage is that it retains the classic gesture interaction of moto, such as quickly turning the wrist twice to open the camera for seconds, lightly cutting the phone twice to open the flashlight, and gesture induction is very accurate, there is no accidental triggering of a function in use, and it is really smooth to use.
The third advantage of MYUI 3.0 is that it optimizes some targeted functions for national usage habits, such as side shortcut keys, one-click direct access to health codes, Alipay, cameras, etc.; such as NFC supports access control cards, bus cards; such as giving "game time" functions in game scenarios; such as multi-open applications; such as slideshow shooting and document scanning.
However, MYUI 3.0 also has some places to improve, such as the camera such as the commonly used App, the camera interface function is too small, portrait, night view and other commonly used functions are still placed in the secondary menu. Similar to the customization of the native Android system, MYUI still has some way to go. However, the current MYUI 3.0 has obviously reached the passing line or above, and there is no problem with it. Of course, this system is definitely more suitable for geeks who like toss and turn.
Moto edge X30 summary
Moto edge X30 for Lenovo should be regarded as a relatively successful product, its global debut Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, in the country fiercely brushed a wave of presence, although in order to highlight the advantages of the price, in the image and other aspects is not so flagship, but the aggressive performance also caters to some consumers, moto edge X30 as Motorola in the domestic launch of the long-lost flagship, the price of 2999 yuan should be regarded as a good start. I believe that as long as moto can persist in China and create more product styles for users in the domestic market, there will be more and more consumer choices.
