However, it's the Edge 20 that's the slimmest of the lot, at sub-7mm, making it Motorola's thinnest 5G handset to date. Where the Moto Edge 20 Lite really has an opportunity to stand out from the crowd is with its software. Motorola says it’s intended to fulfil the DCI-P3 color gamut, but to our eyes the ‘Saturated’ display mode seems to overshoot a bit. While many manufacturers put vastly different camera setups into their device families, the Edge 20 does a good job of delivering a consistent arrangement.

The Pro is the only one to offer a vegan leather in blue option, however, while the Edge 20 is the only to deliver a semi-iridescent emerald-like green option. Motorola also says the Edge 20 Lite will get at least two major Android updates, so that's two years’ worth, similar to an Android One phone. While the core hardware is good enough for a reasonably affordable phone, its patchy HDR leaves shots looking underexposed or overexposed (or both) a little too often. It’s roughly a match for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 performance-wise, with slightly better GPU performance in some situations, and that processor is used in Motorola’s lower-end Moto G50.

The power button/fingerprint sensor combo along with the volume rocker can be found on the right side. The only thing we can identify that separates it from the no-nonsense Moto G-series phones is thickness. Water-repellent design creates a barrier to help protect against moderate exposure to water, such as accidental spills, splashes or light rain.

There's no US pricing included there for the specific reason that none of these handsets are likely to arrive in the USA as early as they will in Europe - in late August/early September - with a North America announcement expected to reveal a 'fall date' for that market (whether that means a whole new device or devices, however, we're unsure at this stage). Compared to phones with sRGB color space; based on use of DCI-P3 color space with 25% larger color gamut than sRGB. The dedicated periscope-style lens gets 5x closer without losing clarity, while 50x Super Zoom means you can capture amazing details from incredible distances.While the Motorola Edge 20 Lite can handle almost all Android games well, it only has the gaming power of some phones two-thirds the cost. You won’t notice this all the time, only when in a darker room, but OLED contrast is always valuable. It is a phone that is handily outclassed by the competition on most fronts on the spec sheet, and for those who need the absolute best in any one area, it will be best to look elsewhere. It’s fractionally slower than the fastest around, but we bedded into its rhythm within about 24 hours.
