Motorola Edge 50 Fusion Review: Budget Beauty or Midrange Masterpiece?

In today’s smartphone market, competition in the midrange segment is cutthroat. Brands need to offer premium features at accessible prices — not just powerful specs, but also style, software polish, and camera versatility. Enter the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion — Motorola’s latest attempt to fuse design, performance, and camera goodness under ₹25K.

But is it just a “design-first” phone or a real all-rounder that delivers where it matters?

Let’s dive into the full review — performance, display, camera, battery, software, and more.

1. Design & Build: A Looker, No Doubt

Motorola has been on a roll with design lately, and the Edge 50 Fusion continues that trend. It’s one of the most beautiful phones in its price range.
