Edge 50 Neo users, are your camera lences scratched?

Hi, I just purchased the Motorola Edge 50 Neo, so far I'm very happy w/ it but I'm a bit concerned about the camera glass getting scratched. I heard this issue from a couple of YouTube reviews. Since this is a 2-year-old phone already, has it happened to you? I'm considering buying lens protectors for the cameras hoping they will help.

Has anyone used this type of phone case?

Hey people!

Not really a magsafe post, but I was wondering if anyone has used this type of case and how they liked it. I've always used wallet book-cases for practical reasons; cards, and a nice hold from the magnet thingy when I'm biking that enables me to hold the whole phone with my thumb and check google maps while pedaling.

The bookcase type of case tho is super ugly/boomer vibes and I'm looking for an alternative. Would you recommend this one for my type of usage?

I'm also open to any other alternatives.

Sorry for my bad English.

So, I bought a brand new phone that comes out of the box with Android 14 but can be updated till Android 16 (and possibly A17 later in the future). So now I manually do every update the system gets, but I see that some of them have a significant size, like the one I'm currently doing is 1.8GB. I don't mind having the latest system update, as long as everything works. The more updates we get, the more storage we fill? how does it work?

So I just purchased the Motorola Edge 50 Neo, a phone that was released two years ago. I bought it brand new, and I was expecting that every new phone has around 30-60% battery coming out of the box, but this one came dead.

I assume that happened because two years may be enough for a battery to slowly drain despite the fact that the phone is turned off, but should I worry about the health of my battery? Is it risky buying a phone waiting to be used for two years straight?

I broke up with my, back then, serious relationship 3.5 years ago and since then I've been only developing crushes for people who are either not into girls or are taken (or both!).

I'm a person who doesn't develop romantic interest easily, but when I do, it's very deep and real. Last two crushes I had were not into girls and it took me a year for each crush to get over from.

Very hard and emotionally exhausting. Feels like something's wrong with me, especially since all my friends are into functional healthy relationships, and I'm always "the cool single friend".

I can develop feelings for all sexes and I think that I fall under the "demisexual" umbrella.

I hope I'll find someone here who gets me. My friends are really supporting but don't fully understand me. I've missed all the things you feel when I'm in love and the other person feels the same.

I've been single for the past 3.5 years. All this time, I've only been attracted to people who are either not into girls (gay men or straight women so far), or people who are into a serious relationship.

Because of my demisexual nature, dating apps don't work for me, and I only get these special feelings for very few people. I'm so done with this.

I'm developing, really, wonderful feelings about the people I fall in love with, but they haven't liked me back. And then it takes me 6-12 months to start getting over this person. This is painful. Especially when all my friends have long and healthy relationships with their partners. What's wrong with me?

In the meantime, a very good friend of mine had confessed to me his love and I can only see him as my brother, we tried everything to see if I can develop romantic feelings, I deeply love him but not romantically, I love him like my brother. So, I lost a very, very good friend of mine, because he couldn't handle the pain of not being my partner (totally understandable and relatable).

I was wondering, am I the only one? Is this situation common for demisexual people?

I thought I had decided to upgrade my current phone with the Motorola Edge 60 Neo, because of its great compact size, reliable performance and camera for my needs, and great battery. Then I realized there is no 512GB ROM/12GB RAM version where I am (EU).

However, this combination of RAM and ROM exists on the Edge 50Neo. 50Neo is of course cheaper, but also one year older, has a 4310mAh battery instead of the 5200mAh the 60Neo offers. I don't think the Dimensity 7400 chipset is noticeably better than the 7300 for my usage.

I can find the 60Neo on one retailer only in my country (which I've never heard of but has relatively positive reviews), for a fairly good price (300euros for the gray colour) with 12GB but unfortunately only 256GB of storage.

So the question is, should I go for an older phone with a smaller battery only for bigger RAM and ROM, or should I go for the newer model with less storage and maybe even 8GB of RAM?

I feel like both phones are futureproof, just in different ways. And battery is replaceable, if neccessary...
