Display & Design
Both phones look stunning. The Edge 50 Pro has a 144Hz curved pOLED screen—super smooth. The A55 offers a flat 120Hz AMOLED, still very sharp. If you love curved screens, Motorola wins.
Performance
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 inside the Edge 50 Pro gives faster performance than the Exynos 1480 in the A55. Both are good for daily use and gaming, but I felt Motorola was snappier.
Camera Battle
Main camera? Both offer 50MP with OIS, but the Edge 50 Pro adds a 10MP telephoto lens, great for zoom. The front camera on Motorola is 50MP, which beats Samsung’s 32MP selfie cam.
Battery & Charging
The A55 has a 5000mAh battery, but only 25W charging. The Edge 50 Pro charges much faster—125W wired and 50W wireless! That’s a big win if you hate waiting.
