Based on a review by BABLOO LAHORI (accessed 2026-02-11).
Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about premium hand feel with vegan leather back and curved display — just accept no charger included in the box.
The reviewer concludes that while the official PTA-approved dual-SIM version is not a good value due to high taxes, the network-locked or factory-unlocked non-PTA versions of the Motorola Edge 2025 offer solid features for media consumption, camera use, and 60 FPS gaming, making them attractive for users who do not require an active SIM.
This review provides an in-depth look at the Motorola Edge 2025, covering its physical design, display, media consumption capabilities, gaming performance, camera features, software, and battery life. It also details the various pricing models and availability in the Pakistani market.
The Motorola Edge 2025 offers a compelling package for media consumption and photography, making it a popular choice in the Pakistani market, especially for users not requiring PTA approval. Its 6.7-inch 120Hz HDR10 display and excellent stereo speakers provide a superb viewing experience, complemented by a 50-megapixel OIS main camera and telephoto portrait capabilities. However, gaming performance is capped at 60 FPS for titles like PUBG, despite a capable processor. If you prioritize a premium feel, a great screen, decent camera, and extended battery life without needing an active SIM or official PTA approval, this phone is a strong contender. If you require banking app functionality, 90+ FPS gaming, or worry about parts availability and high PTA taxes, you should consider other options.

Parts availability for the Motorola Edge 2025 is expected to be poor in the local market, making repairs difficult if the phone is damaged.
The Motorola Edge 2025 features a slim profile and a curved display that gives a tactile up-and-down feel, along with a vegan leather back, contributing to a premium hand feel. However, the phone does not include an audio jack.
The phone is rated 10 out of 10 for media consumption, featuring a 6.7-inch 120Hz display with Gorilla Glass 7i, supporting 4K HDR10 on YouTube and Full HD on Netflix. Its stereo speakers also provide excellent sound quality.
Equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 7400-Ultra, the phone delivers stable 60 FPS performance in games like PUBG, even though it's capped. Call of Duty runs smoothly on high graphics, and Real Cricket runs very fluidly, indicating good overall gaming capability within its limitations.
The phone features a 50MP main (OIS), 50MP ultrawide, and 10MP telephoto (OIS) setup. It takes decent photos with good post-processing and excels in portraits, offering telephoto portrait options with natural color profiles akin to Google Pixel. It supports 3x optical zoom, up to 30x digital zoom for photos, and 20x for video, with 4K@30fps recording for both front (50MP) and rear cameras.
The phone is equipped with a 5200 mAh battery, which offers good battery timing, particularly when not using a SIM. It supports 68W fast charging and also includes 15W wireless charging capabilities.
If you purchase a network-locked version of the Motorola Edge 2025, which cannot use a SIM card, banking applications that rely on SMS-based One-Time Passwords (OTPs) for verification will not function due to the inability to receive SMS messages.
The reviewer specifically cautions potential buyers that if the Motorola Edge 2025 gets damaged, such as a broken display, it will be very difficult to find replacement parts in the local market for repairs, as parts availability is expected to be poor.
