The motorola edge50 Neo sets new standards in smartphone durability with its MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification, combining robustness with a sleek, sophisticated design. It is India's lightest smartphone to pass rigorous military durability tests, ensuring it withstands shocks, vibrations, and accidental drops from up to 1.5 meters, all while featuring Gorilla Glass protection. The device endures extreme temperatures, from scorching heat up to 60°C to freezing cold down to -30°C and maintains performance in high humidity up to 95% and high-altitude low-pressure environments. Its IP68 rating provides comprehensive protection against dust, sand, and submersion in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes, making it ready for any challenge life throws its way.
The motorola edge50 Neo combines ultra-premium design with advanced functionality, featuring a sleek, minimalist profile that is both stylish and highly functional.
