A Guy –
I’ve bought Motorolas for a long time now. I’ve ventured out to Samsung and LG on occasion, but I’ve always come back. Motorola makes great solid, reliable midrange phones with about as authentic of an Android experience you can get. I was reluctant after the company was acquired by Lenovo, but I can attest they’re still good phones. I bought this to replace my Moto X4 not because the Moto X4 was broken or didn’t work, but because I wanted to take advantage of wireless android auto in my Jeep and the newest OS for the X4 was incompatible. I had gotten my money’s worth out of that phone already anyways.
One of my favorite changes is that the fingerprint reader is built into the power button.. this is MILES better than any in-screen fingerprint reader I’ve used. It’s almost instantaneous. Press the power button like normal and it likely already processed your fingerprint and unlocked the phone. Battery life, as with all of my Motorolas, seems to be a step above the other brands. Other than a Pixel, Motorola offers as close to an authentic Android experience as you’ll find. They’re not trying to force you into some stupid ecosystem you don’t want. Bloatware is minimal. Again, this is why I keep coming back to Motorola. Screen quality is very good. I used to think anything greater than 1080p on a little phone is overkill, but I admit the text does look noticeably more crisp.
I have two disappointments, which are fairly minor: 1) The phone has stereo speakers built-in, but as others have noted, the second speaker is just the earpiece, and therefore it’s much quieter than the main speaker, giving it a lopsided soundstage. I guess it’s better than nothing, but not by much. Speaker quality is still decent, but nowhere near iPhone quality. I’ve yet to hear an Android that competes, though. 2) Camera software seems laggy/low FPS. I’m guessing it has to do with the multiple cameras and the phone processing them together to create one image, but it feels like the camera “viewfinder” runs at <30fps. The images that come out are still good. Again, not iPhone quality, but perfectly good for a midrange-priced Android phone. I was just disappointed compared to my Moto X4 because that thing was always smooth as butter and image quality was 90% of what this fancy three-camera setup achieves. I still think these multi-camera setups are a bit of a gimmick. Or maybe Android/Motorola just aren't utilizing them optimally.
All of my other complaints are with Android itself, so they’d be present on any brand. Having owned both iPhones and Androids, I like Android for their flexibility, but with each new version of Android I feel drawn back to the ‘everything just works like it should’ quality that iOS has. Apple feels like it was designed by a small group of people who understood the mission well; Android sometimes feels like it was designed by a thousand of different people who never talked to each other. As these mobile OSs get more complex and feature packed, I’m starting to think I’d rather have stability than flexibility/customisation. For my next phone, I may go back to iPhone… Again, though, this is not specific to this phone–just Android itself. So I guess this rant wasn’t really necessary..
Good phone if you’re looking for an Android! Not the best-of-the-best, but a great balance of capability and price. Probably the sweet-spot of the market.

I was looking for an affordable, unlocked phone with at least 6MB RAM and NFC. A surprising number of Moto phones do not have NFC, which for me is a showstopper. Tap pay is essential. This model has it all with an almost unbelievable price.
However when I began searching a wallet case realized there was a plethora of selections for the Edge+ (a different size) and almost nothing for the Edge. Did the case manufacturers even realize Edge+ was a different size? Also the Edge+ received its Android 14 update very early this year. Although Moto promises Android version updates for this model, so far they have not delivered. It feels like the Edge is the red headed step-child to the Edge+, as far as being an ongoing priority after purchase.

Tengo un mes usandolo y hasta el momento puedo confiar que es muy veloz; pude copiar la imagen de mi teléfono anterior por lo que la configuración fue super rápida; tiene buen nivel de sonido y calidad de imágenes en fotografía y vídeos; la batería dura un día completo si la usas mucho; pero si se descarga; lo puedes cargar super rápido. Creo que ha sido una excelente compra y está más barato aquí y con más capacidad de las opciones en las páginas de Motorola y Telcel.

I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and I’m really happy with it. It has a great camera, a very nice crisp screen, the battery will get through a day easily unless you are a person that is constantly playing on your phone, it moves from app to app quickly, it will play any game I’ve tried on it, plenty of storage space and get this, it works as a phone too. My only complaint might be that it doesn’t have a micro SD slot. That’s why I got the 512gb version. My old Motorola had the card slot and would hold up to 512gb along with the 128gb on the phone. I take a lot of pictures and use the phone for playing mp3s.

I dropped my pretty new Samsung s23 ultra on a jobsite and cracked the screen bad. replacement screen for my color phone is not available. so I needed a new phone. I had this one overnight’ed to me. I got a case that looked like it would be the most protective. and i set it up to use as a temp phone. I have been very impressed! so far it’s been awesome.
Pro’s: – Incredible battery life – smooth operation (it is fast and responsive), – flat screen (no useless curved edges) – crisp screen with good colors, – good cameras (not the single best out there, but still very good), – handy, light weight, easy to set up and use. – ‘Ready For’!!! holy cow, they did it right! better than Dex, better than old continuum, single best phone to PC user interface i have seen. fast, smooth, and so extremely useful!!! when I’m in the office it is great for sharing pics and contacts and websites between devices, it is brilliant! probably the most understated feature of the phone. the ‘Windows 365’ for large corporations and such is lost on most of the world, but most basic users can really benefit from the ‘Mobile Desktop’ mode. it’s awesome!
Con’s: it is only missing 2 things. 1: stylus. Motorola already has a stylus phone, they have the technology, should have put it with this phone, or maybe used the surface protocol so when you have a surface pen you can use it on the phone too. really a huge benefit that not enough manufacturers offer. marking up pictures precisely, finite controls with something smaller than the tip of my finger. stylus is huge and should be an option on the next iteration. 2: micro-SD card. I know all the phone companies think we live next to a cell tower and have 5 bars all the time, but that is not true. in the mountains the signal strength is always changing. it is so much better to have room to store important file on the phone that you can rely on being there, and plenty of them without have to wonder if you will run out of room. that would make all newer phone better. cloud storage is awesome, but it’s not always as accessible as the commercials indicate. local storage is a must. and being able to have more would give this device an advantage over all the rest of the phones that don’t offer it anymore. 3: More case options. The case that comes with it is a joke. It needs a good rubbery Otterbox defender style case. I have not seen one yet.
In short, I really like this phone, the Ready For is so useful that there is a good chance that I will not go back to my Samsung after it is fixed. If this phone had a stylus, it would be no competition, ThinkPhone for the win! If it had a stylus and micro sd card slot, it would be just that much better.
