Strong 5G Performance with Snapdragon 778G
The 778G chipset gives you substantial power for gaming, multitasking, and efficient battery usage. It supports modern connectivity standards, newer network features, and holds value with future software updates.
Large Battery with Fast Charging
A 5,000mAh battery ensures long usage – ideal for users who stream video, use GPS, social media, or travel. 30W charging helps reduce wait time when recharging.
108MP Camera for High-Resolution Photos
The large 108MP sensor lets you capture detailed images, even when cropping. The ultrawide lens gives you flexibility for shots that include more scenery. Selfies are also solid with 32MP front sensor.
PTA Approved – No Legal Issues
One of the major hurdles for imported phones in Pakistan is PTA registration. A PTA-approved Edge 5G means you don’t have to worry about SIM signal blocking or extra fees later. It’s “legal, safe, and ready to use with any network.”
If you’re buying a used or new stock model, here are checks you should do:
Battery health (does it hold charge well?)
Screen condition: check for dead pixels, flicker especially at high refresh (144Hz)
Camera test: main + ultrawide + selfies
Charging & USB-C port integrity
Fingerprint sensor responsiveness
Ensure all sensors work properly (proximity, gyro, etc.)
The Moto Edge 5G (2021) with PTA approval and 144Hz display is a strong pick for anyone looking for high performance without spending flagship amounts. It balances speed, camera quality, battery endurance, and network compatibility very well.
