Edge 50 Fusion XT2429-2 (Marshmallow Blue, 12GB RAM, 512GB) Review – 5G Powerhouse?

Introduction

The Edge 50 Fusion XT2429-2, in its striking Marshmallow Blue finish, promises a premium smartphone experience. With its sleek design, powerful Snapdragon processor, and impressive camera system, it certainly looks the part. But does it deliver on its promises? After several weeks of intensive testing, I’m ready to share my thoughts.

Features

The Edge 50 Fusion boasts a compelling array of features. The 6.7-inch 144Hz pOLED display is a real standout, offering vibrant colors and incredibly smooth scrolling. The 50MP Ultra Pixel camera, coupled with the 32MP front-facing camera, promises exceptional image quality. Other key features include 12GB of RAM, 512GB of internal storage (though non-expandable), 68W TurboPower charging, and IP68 water and dust resistance. The device runs on Android 14, providing a smooth and intuitive user experience.

Performance

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor handles everyday tasks with ease. Multitasking is smooth, and even demanding games run without significant lag. The 12GB of RAM contributes significantly to this responsiveness. The 144Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and animations incredibly fluid. The 5000mAh battery comfortably lasts a full day, even with heavy use, and the 68W fast charging is a lifesaver when you need a quick top-up. I found the camera to consistently produce excellent results, particularly in well-lit conditions. Low-light performance is decent, but not class-leading. The dual SIM capability and 5G connectivity are also notable advantages.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Stunning display, powerful processor, excellent camera performance in good light, fast charging, IP68 rating, smooth Android 14 experience.

Cons: No expandable storage, low-light camera performance could be improved, some minor heating noticed during extended gaming sessions.

Final Verdict

The Edge 50 Fusion XT2429-2 offers a compelling package. The stunning display, powerful performance, and excellent camera make it a joy to use. While the lack of expandable storage and some minor heating issues are drawbacks, they are not significant enough to detract from the overall positive experience. If you’re looking for a premium smartphone with excellent performance and a beautiful design, the Edge 50 Fusion is a strong contender. I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
