Comparison review
The Galaxy Note9 has a general score of 87.1, which is slightly better than Motorola Edge 50's 81.2 score. Even though the Galaxy Note9 is better than the Motorola Edge 50, we must highlight that it's also a incredibly older, somewhat thicker and heavier cellphone. The Samsung Galaxy Note9 has a much better performance than Motorola Edge 50, although it has 2 GB less RAM memory, they both have the same number of cores.
Motorola Edge 50 has a little sharper display than Galaxy Note9, because although it has a quite lower pixels density and a quite lower resolution of 1220 x 2712px, it also counts with a little larger display. The Motorola Edge 50 captures much better photographs and videos than Samsung Galaxy Note9, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not nice for shooting photographs and video in low light situations and lower 30 frames per second video frame rates, and they both have the same (4K) video quality, the Motorola Edge 50 also counts with a way more megapixels back-facing camera and a lot larger sensor which provides a much higher photo and video quality.
Galaxy Note9 counts with just a bit bigger storage capacity for games and applications than Motorola Edge 50, because although it has less internal memory, it also counts with a SD memory card expansion slot that admits a maximum of 512 GB. Motorola Edge 50 features better battery life than Galaxy Note9, because it has 5000mAh of battery capacity instead of 4000mAh.
