Aside from needing better software updates, Motorola is by far my favorite android brand. When you consider the price, you won't find a better value. They improved the design and put better chips in their upper mid range devices. Great video! Glad to see some tech reviewers actually giving Motorola the attention it deserves.
@@SicErikTech I enjoy your videos they are informative and focus on brands like Motorola that shouldn't be overlooked when getting a good phone that's a value.
Yeah I always say Motorola don't get enough credit for the devices that they produce but at the same time the Achilles heel is the software updates but they've gotten better on the newer devices like to think phone your lease getting three to 4 years of software updates on the think phone I don't know anything else about the newer Motorola phones
@@allenblaine2793 the Moto edge 2022 was supposed to get 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security updates. I will say Motorola needs to do much better on long term support, especially on their mid range and flagship phones. Because companies like Samsung are giving even some of their budget phones more support.
if motorala bumped up their upgrade policy it would contend for top spot for many when it comes to android ,,, the edge+ 2023 is an amazing phone a friend of mins has one and i was totally surprised by its clean ui and specs to price ratio
Thanks for review. I'm thinking to get it for my wife, i compared it to all phones that i could get from network. Xiaomi 13 pro +, realme 12 pro, Honor 90, Honor 200 lite, Magic6 lite, Moto 40 Neo...Samsung a35 and as far as i have seen this Edge 30 fusion was ahead of its time. Much better cpu and other specs compared to all this 2 year newer phones. I'm not sure how good it is in person so i dont make mistake but on paper, its better in any way to these 2024 budget phones
I actually gave my wife the edge 30 fusion because she needed a phone and she loves it, She told me she needed something light weight and I knew this was going to be ideal for her. A couple of things you mentioned that stuck out to me in this review yeah Motorola kind of overcharges a tad bit on their devices like the fusion I think when it first came out it was like $800 which for certain I know they were trying to sell the bundle with the buds was slightly Overkill so yeah if they would have brought this to like 599 or less I think a lot of people would've swoop this up. Even the Motorola edge 2023 I want to say they had that phone starting out like it 699.99 not the plus model and it definitely performance-wise processing chip definitely didn't add up for the price the price right now is really a huge deal to me they should have brought it at 499 the edge 2023. Anyways I'm rambling on what are your thoughts on the think phone?
Seeing this with my 30 fusion!! Problems 1) soft updates...not for a long time. 2) very little water protection, IP52 I think. You have to go for edge 40 or 50 series for ip68. But they don't have a "fusion" phone. 3) no telephoto 4) no AI. for instance in moto razr 40 ultra you can erase parts of a photo with variable success...not here. But there are MANY virtues, you told them a) great shape factor. VERY comfortable at hand b) quite nice c) very good photos and videos at day or night for the price. Remember it has selfie autofocus that usually appear in hi end phones d)quite fast. This allows to take and process photos faster so they come out better. For example Galaxy A53 has 64 mpx but its processor is SO SLOW that to take a 64mpx at night takes in comparison an eternity and so the photo gets a lot of noise. The edge 30 fusion is quite faster so the photos become more focused, more precise, with better definition e) the amazing Ready for app to connect to tvs
I have no training in processing photos but several experts say they prefer to record on 8k in order to facilitate the post processing to 4k 60 hz. It seems it is better to record at 8k 30 hz to get later 4k 60 hz than to record at 4k 60 hz is it? And THIS phone CAN do that. NOT EVEN IPHONE 15 PRO MAX can record at 8k!!!
In my opinion I feel like motorola isn't really trying to compete with samsung apple or Google with the cameras especially with their flagship and midrange phones i feel like do needs some catching up on the camera department but from I see here the moto edge 30 fusion I like the cameras
I was considering getting a edge 30 pro or edge 40 the 50 is downgrading I don't know what's going on with Motorola but they're downgrading every time they come out but the 30 and the '40s are nice
I don't get it, have you been using this phone regularly for 11 months or did you just have it for 11 months. And if you have been using it all this time, has it been without the case or with the case, and if without how has the vegan leather and the camera bump held up?
@@SicErikTechthis is the problem with Motorola security and regular Android updates are super late I mean 15's coming out in 2 months and this phone still hasn't gotten 14
And I will say for Motorola I know in my humble opinion doesn't count they're going to do whatever it is they feels best but they need to have different designs for each series of Motorola phone so they don't look the same, also as well when it comes to the processing chips don't have all the same process and chips on each series device each device needs to have different chipsets like for example the g-series a different ship the power series if it's about power give it a decent processing power chip and then the upper high-end edge series give it a decent high-end processing but keep the prices reasonable knowing the tech Giants Apple, Samsung Google got everything on chokehold. You can't charge iPhone, Galaxy s ultra Pixel pro prices on Motorola devices when we know they're not capable of performing the same way
They are slowly changing the designs as time goes by. As far chipsets they are all over the place, especially with different RAM on different variants of a certain phone
Some years ago Jerry the guy that makes reviews of phones with a knife in order to destroy them said the phones have attained some kind of a "plateau" of level quality. Unless you are a techie guy or need the best video and photo processing you could live with this kind of phone for years even if you don't care for security updates. BUT something appeared recently that can make this phone obsolete right from the start: THE AI. i think you can't use it with this because it is not so powerful. Think that iphone 15 (!) will NOT get AI and all the iphones before them. Suddenly this feature appeared that threatens to make the not quite up to date phones, totally obsolete in what could be otherwise a longer life phones

I love the look and feel of this phone.. when I'm eventually forced to get a new phone I'll forever miss that leather feeling back it's perfect.
It's beautiful 😍
This Moto is my husband's choice of phone. He has an S23 Ultra also, but prefers the size of the 30 Fusion. No complaints.
It's a damn good device
Thanks!
