Do Motorola Edge base, Fusion and Neo models phones support USB-C to HDMI?
No. The non-Pro Motorola Edge models, including Fusion, Neo, Lite and the US Edge (2022 to 2024), use a USB 2.0 port and support Ready For only wirelessly.
Motorola's naming makes this confusing: the Edge 40 Pro has wired output, the Edge 40 does not. The rule is that Pro, Ultra, Edge+ and ThinkPhone models have DisplayPort Alt Mode, and everything else in the Edge line does not.

What to do with a Motorola Edge base, Fusion and Neo models phone
- If your model is marked Supported above, get a USB-C to HDMI cable rated 4K 60Hz. See the cable guide.
- Plug the TV in first, then the phone, and select the HDMI input. Open the app to cast photos, videos and music in a TV layout.
- If your model is marked Not supported, skip the cable and use the Browser Cast mode in the app over Wi-Fi.

Frequently asked questions
- Which Motorola Edge base, Fusion and Neo models models support USB-C to HDMI?
- Edge 30 Fusion. The rest of the series does not.
- Why does my Motorola Edge base, Fusion and Neo models phone charge but not show on the TV?
- Charging uses the power pins of the USB-C port. Video needs DisplayPort Alt Mode on the high-speed pins, which these models do not have. The cable is working; the phone cannot send video.
- Can an app enable HDMI output on a Motorola Edge base, Fusion and Neo models phone?
- No. Wired video output is decided by the phone's chipset and port wiring. The alternative is wireless: the Browser Cast mode in the USB-C to HDMI app, a Chromecast, or the TV's built-in casting.
- What cable works with the Motorola Edge base, Fusion and Neo models models that do support it?
- Any USB-C to HDMI cable or adapter rated for 4K 60Hz. No brand-specific cable is needed.
