It kills me to watch reviews of Moto devices where there's no mention of, let alone a fulsome account of, the Ready For desktop mode. Half of this video was about the camera, at a time when virtually all flagship cameras are matters of case-by-case preference - they all look the same after being churned through filters and uploaded to Instagram. Ready For is a real differentiating feature and shows people that these literal pocket PCs can be so much more than a camera with social media feeds.
@@KennyLarson I do the same with Samsung DeX, but Ready For is criminally underrated considering it's better than DeX yet receives essentially no coverage.
I've had this phone for 4 days now and I am very impressed. Had the pixel 7 and I hated that thing. The battery life on this is easily 2 days. The speed and responsiveness is great. The finger print reader works every time unlike the pixel which has a 60% hit rate. Highly recommend this phone.
I hope you've enjoyed it. I was using a nearly brand new iphone 12. Still have it for apple services. I've been using my Moto+23 for about 2 months now. No regrets. I've even persuaded my die hard 27 year old co worker to consider android. When I showed her split-screen, her world changed. 😆
I bought a Samsung S23 Ultra and didn't like it. I mainly didn't like the controls that Samsung puts in their OS for navigation, but the phone was also heavy and had a boxy feel which was not comfortable to hold. I returned it, and decided to wait for Motorola to come out with a flagship in the US. I bought this 5 days ago and love it. Seeing the phone in a video doesnt do it justice. It's much lighter, the screen is awesome, the camera's do almost as well as the Samsung, it's wayyy cheaper, and I love that Motorola gives you a stock android experience and adds features that only make the experience better. Not to mention 'ready for' is really cool. Don't discount Moto. They're finding their way
I've been a Motorola phone fan for 10 years because of their moto actions. I use the chop-chop action for the flashlight. And I'll continue buying their phones as long as they have these features.
Motorola lately is KILLING it with these phone. All the 30 and 40 edge line is sooo so beautiful phones. So chic with good specs. Breathtaking screen also, i really envy it.
I’m impressed with what Motorola has done with this phone! If I hadn’t just gotten a new phone I would strongly consider this. I will say I do think if Moto were able to get the price down another $100 it would be a no brainer
@@hezekiahwallace2412 It's already 399$ at Boost Mobile, hasn't even been out in 2 months and its already under cutting the plastic 128GB Pixel 7A or the 64GB Iphone 12... God people need to stop sleeping on Moto, I don't ever wanna see them go out of business, but damn these sales hit DIFFERENT... 399$ for this even makes the Pixel 6A at 150$ look overpriced.
One of the best camera humps I've seen lately. Better than iPhone. Obviously better than the horrendous Pixel and Oneplus. Looks so mature and professional.
I'll say it. I'm 16... when I turned 15 I was able to get a job and get my first like actual phone which was a Motorola G Stylus 2022... costed me like 300$ but then like 1 month later I saw the price drop to like 180 or sum like that. Anyways, I've recently been considering an upgrade and since I've come to LOVE the software that moto makes out of android and the layout and stuff... I'm gonna buy this... since this is still keeping up with all the higher end phones while not costing 900-1300$... like you said those extra Benjamin's may not seem like much but damn it helps. So in a few days I'm gonna buy the phone and I'll come back with an in depth update of what my experience with it is like. (UPDATE SOON)
I'd like to see a comparison between the Moto Edge Plus and the OnePlus 11. Hardware looks pretty similar, but some may prefer the software of one over the other.
Just got this phone yesterday, the fact my old moto g stylus 5g 2021 had it's screen shattered yesterday overshadowed the fact of me just immediately going out and getting this phone as an upgrade for $300. It's still technically day 1, but now that I'm over that my old phone is dead, i'm enjoying my edge+ a lot and it seems to be pretty damn solid. i am missing my sd card expansion only because i like the ability. i know i'll never use more than 512gb of storage in my phone and i got google cloud storage 2tb so i'm set, but I still would like the option. no headphone jack hurts, but i've moved onto bluetooth entirely (pixel buds pro). seems like a real good phone, especially for $300. (boost mobile)
I've never seen a review like this, it's so smooth and natural. I'm considering this phone strongly! much better deal and much nicer looking than the big 3 (apple, samsung, google)
It will surprise you to know that the Motorola Edge 30 Fusion that I use, takes better indoor pictures than my S23 Ultra. The S23 Ultra can really hurt sometimes when they turn everything green or yellow. I have both of them but it is the Edge 30 in my pocket
I never though i would buy a moto but I have been investigating this phone for a bit now & I am sitting on my hands.. I really want this phone... That video of the ducks you took was awesome for a phone well, Well under premium price phones...
I only had one Moto phone and it was the Moto x pure. I truly liked it but... Updates were like pulling teeth. Then after about 15 months the battery started to shut off the phone at about 20% charge. I tried to replace it myself and accidentally cut the power cable. So, that's my experience. Noones talking about the build. Glass, metal, plastic? You did get close, when you talked about the curved screen. But stopped short. My phone now is the Pixel 3 XL. I love the front facing stereo speakers, the high resolution screen and build quality. And it preforms fine but... I'm at my os update limit at android 12 and battery life is... only about 4 hours screen on time. But if I let it sit and only do calls, I get about 2 days stand by time. Anyway, am looking at the edge plus 2022. For around 275 bucks. New in box. But it's not a necessity so I shop around, a lot. Thanks for the review. You always do a good job. But how about that build?
Zoom expressed as a 35mm equivalent focal length in the Portrait mode is a very neat thing imho. Maybe it is a gimmicky feature, but I kind of like it. Afaik there are 24, 35, 50 and 85mm and which should, imho, be complemented with 28 and 40mm as well. Also, I don't see the reason why it should not be available as an optional feature in the Pro (or even Photo) mode as well. It is really a way how a photographer perseves the world more than having background blurred
Hey there! OnePlus 11 was my previous phone and I switched because of the Moto having wireless and reverse charging, much better water protection and more capacity. The only thing i miss is the super speedy charging😢, but you know, we can't have it all. As of battery life, I'm on my 3rd day only wirelessly charging it on my car for about 20mins a day. No regrets at all when switching to the Moto one.
Genuinely baffled they went from a fantastic side mounted fingerprint scanner to ANOTHER mediocre optical scanner. Yes, the screen scanners are cool, but unless its ultrasonic its inferior to just about every other iteration of capacitive scanner. That being said, Moto's software improvements and gestures are almost the entire reason to own a Moto. My Edge Plus (2022) is unique because of that shake for flashlight function, and I literally use it every day. Coupled with the 144hz screen, 68w fast charging, and great battery life - its been an awesome phone. Just needed more case selection... that has been terrible.
LG V60 was one of the first phones in the U.S. Market with an under-screen fingerprint scanner. Saying your big words doesn't necessarily mean it's inferior. Simple can work too, not everything has to be complex to work well. If anyone tries to use my fingerprint scanner it will not work, but mine will. I'd say other than when my phone is having a hiccup (aka, the reason why I'm watching these Moto Edge+ 2023 videos) it will skip a beat and ask me to scan again, but max is usually 3 tries. If not first try, it will sometimes just take a second and then try again. But overall a nearly seamless, extremely quick process to scan myself in
@@jacobwebb8818but he's right on having the finger print sensor on the power button, every phone that I've had with on screen finger read was meh. With having it on the power button, it wakes up the phone and unlocks it at the same time. It is a feature that I never knew I needed.
Keep up the great work, I became a subscriber. Will be looking forward to your video on the upcoming RAZR+ (Ultra). Will be curious to hear if that particular model without the waterfall screen, has the action bar on the side. Have been a moto user since 1987.
That's great to see this video, considering that I have been using a Motorola device since 2021, starting with Moto G40 Fusion, which is a Indian model and then getting myself a Motorola Edge 2021 5G edition and right now focusing to go for this Edge+ 2023. It's a spotlight for Motorola phones right now and trying to be brand loyal at the same time. I have a quick question - where did you record this video because I saw it's getting 5G+, which is really amazing seeing it because in Canada, most of the phones just get 5G, considering that Canada does not have the mmWave here. I was wondering that the jump from Edge 2021 to Edge 2023+ anytime soon can be a good decision? Lots of good wishes from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦
It's nice I want one ,but Verizon still not selling this phone,and they don't know nothing about it,you can buy it at best buy but not sure if it's compatible with Verizon, Verizon still selling the Motorola edge plus 2022 for 900$ and it's on sale every where else for 499$ . I'm still waiting for this device in USA ??, Verizon
At 4 minutes you talked about the quick view navigation on the lock screen l.. when I first got my Moto device it had that but as of a week ago it went away. do you have any idea how to get that
I know it's a few months down the line. But I'm considering between this one and the oneplus 12 (releasing on the 23rd) which, in your opinion, is the better choice? How much of a difference would a 2023 phone to a 2024 phone? Android 13 to Android 14? My thanks for your time
I'm someone with a disability so it's hard for me to keep pushing the power button to turn on the phone from asleep mode. Does this phone's finger print scanner work while it's on sleep mode or do you have to press the power button first to bring up the finger print scanner? I'd appreciate some answers from people who own the phone. Thanks
I have a pixel 7 right now. As a former owner of the G4 and G7 I really miss Moto's gestures as you can't find really find features like that with any other phone. I like my pixel and what google has done with their phones with the software but I do miss those gestures and the Pixel 7 isn't perfect with it's thumb print scanner and face unlock. Tempting to go back to moto
Wow, I'm looking at the phone on motorola's website and the camera layout is different than the unit you have there. . . Have they revamped the phone or is something else afoot? 🤔
I bought the Motorola edge 40 pro about a month ago. I really like it, it's like a Google pixel with more features. I have one problem , When I'm on the phone people say that when I talk I sound muffled, I took off the case and nothing changed but with the headset its clear that they say I sound great. Just wondering if the US version has the same problem or just that one phone that I have.
Es bueno este phone en multimedia? El audio si esta fuerte? Cuanto dura realmente en cargar por completo? Tengo el s10 pero no me gusta su bateria y cuanto tarda en cargar! Ademas de que ya no se actualizó!
@@gnr1090 yo lo recomiendo mucho, por potencia, pantalla, resistencia al agua y que te da al menos 3 años de actualizaciones a comparación del s10 que ya no dan más
I'm extremely intrigued by this device. My OnePlus 11 is having issues and they are doing everything in their power to not help me with my warranty claim. So, I'm stuck and I'm severely sick. I need something ASAP. I like this one and will probably be my choice. With Gen 2, are to a point where the 8gb of ram are sufficient? I don't game on my phone, but I'm definitely still a heavy user. I know they have the option to allocate a part of the HD over to processing power. But has anyone actually noticed a difference with that done? Also, my BIGGEST question. Are there any other unlocked devices available in North America that are in that price or below that you feel performed better and would recommend over it? Thank you for your help. For info, I can get this for 500 USD new at the moment and I can't seem to find any better options. So, it looks like I will probably have this in a day or two. Excellent review and video as usual :)
I have overlooked Motorola. I just now saw this phone while browsing Motorola and boy I missed out on getting a formidable new phone for Less money. Only thing that is lacking is OS support
Motorola why did you remove the power fingerprint sensor. That is my favorite feature on all their phones and the chop flash light. Its unnatural to try and unlock the phone with the screen when you hand it already gripping the sides.
I appreciated your video very much, because you went into details of the phone which matter to me. I can tell you have used Motorolas before! It’s those extra little things, the details of that brand which are just far superior to any flagship phones.
After camera update can you please make a video of it. And if possible can you make a video on moto edge 30 ultra, as it has the highest mp camera given in moto. It will be great if you can. Thanks
I have had S23 ultra and iphone 14 pro max, and i can tell you the edge+ 2023 is the better phone hands down! I have experienced better service and a smoother experience overall with this phone. Its $600 right now, an absolute steal! Get it
I really like what I've seen of this phone but have a couple things to keep me from pulling the trigger. First, I have a Pixel 7 Pro. Would this really be an upgrade? I feel like in some ways yes, in others no. I don't use the camera daily but when I do use it, I use it a lot and usually in difficult lighting situations like concerts. How does the Moto hold up there? I'm also leery of only having optical zoom to 2x (digital to 20x I think I heard elsewhere). The Pixel 7 Pro starts at 5x and goes to 30x. Their algorithm is 2nd to none when it comes to camera and their AI editing tools are really nice. The 2nd issue is updates. When is this phone getting Android 14? I already have it on my Pixel so how long am I going to be stuck on 13 before getting the update? I need speedy updates so that is also a concern. Also there are a few other Pixel exclusives that I would miss (e.g. call screen) that there are not workarounds for. In the end I'll likely go to Pixel 8 but will definitely be keeping my eye on Moto (and a couple other companies like Nothing) to see how it plays out.
I had pixel 7 before getting motorola. Pixel wins in pictures and video in all aspects and especially in harsher lighting conditions. Sometimes i feel like their camera software is 5 years behind of other companies. Even thought there has been regular security updates i can almost guarantee you that android 14 will not be before summer. Other than cameras motorla has been better in all other aspects. Much brighter screen in sunlight, fingerprint reader that works instantly with 100% accuracy and oh boy the mighty battery life which is atleast the double to what pixel offered.
I'm thinking of holding onto my Pixel 7 for special photography and trading in an older Samsung Galaxy to get this Moto Edge +. The battery life on the Moto Edge+ is exceptional, look at some of the 2023 lists of phones with the best battery life and this phone is in the top 3! Everything about this phone reviewers are praising, only drawback for some reviewers is the camera is not equal to Samsung S23 ultra, Google Pixel 8 pro & the latest iPhone. Well many phones cost much more than this one and also have cameras that cannot compete with the big boys.. I do have some concerns with updates, however, I'm going to take Motorola at their word and count on 4 years. I never keep a phone for longer than that anyways. Unless the OnePlus 12 is irresistible and priced well, this will be my next daily driver. I like software close to stock android and do not like how Samsung doubles up on so many apps and the UI is just too busy for my taste. I also do not like the "brick" that the Samsung Ultras have turned into. I liked their ultra style before it became the "Note". I may be in the minority here but that's alright, I don't think I'm the only one. I'd go for the Samsung Galaxy+ but it looks so boring and like every mid range Samsung phone now. If Google could greatly improve the Pixel's battery life I would stick with the Pixels, hands down, however, I can't deal with a phone that's battery drains like crazy the minute you get off of WiFi and use 5g service. My 84 year old Mom recently broke her hip and I ended up staying with her at the hospital without a charger with me ( so having to borrow nurses chargers, so embarrassing) and my Pixel 7 wouldn't last half a day while my Mom's Moto G power from 2021 was lasting 2 1/2 days. How crazy is that, it was a wake up call for sure...
Wish the phone launched in India too. It looks so good, and Moto were doing good with their past pro models, but for some reason decided that launching the pro would be a bad decision this year.
For half the price of an Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, the refresh rate is higher at 144, screen size is the same, 256GB is the same, battery and the battery size is slightly less at 4400. Motorola's stock price is a reflection of their sales obviously and are trading now at or near their all time high.

Do you know if you can use a stylus with this phone?
@@isellgarcia-qr5gb haven't tried. I don't normally use a stylus
Thank you, this clearly helped a lot of people, it's funny I was also cross shopping this with a Pixel 7 and battery life was my biggest concern.

It's nice I want one ,but Verizon still not selling this phone,and they don't know nothing about it,you can buy it at best buy but not sure if it's compatible with Verizon, Verizon still selling the Motorola edge plus 2022 for 900$ and it's on sale every where else for 499$ . I'm still waiting for this device in USA ??, Verizon
I would like to hear more on the sound quality?
At 4 minutes you talked about the quick view navigation on the lock screen l.. when I first got my Moto device it had that but as of a week ago it went away. do you have any idea how to get that
As of now in the philippines, the price is 13,000 pesos. Approx above 200 us dollars
Thats the moto edge plus 2022
I know it's a few months down the line. But I'm considering between this one and the oneplus 12 (releasing on the 23rd) which, in your opinion, is the better choice? How much of a difference would a 2023 phone to a 2024 phone? Android 13 to Android 14? My thanks for your time
Does anyone have a link to a review on the non plus version of the 2023 edge?
I'm someone with a disability so it's hard for me to keep pushing the power button to turn on the phone from asleep mode. Does this phone's finger print scanner work while it's on sleep mode or do you have to press the power button first to bring up the finger print scanner? I'd appreciate some answers from people who own the phone. Thanks
How do the Moto dex like version work?
Mine keeps lagging all the time and screen keeps freezing 😢
Did you feel that the curved screen was an advantage or not really??
I have a pixel 7 right now. As a former owner of the G4 and G7 I really miss Moto's gestures as you can't find really find features like that with any other phone. I like my pixel and what google has done with their phones with the software but I do miss those gestures and the Pixel 7 isn't perfect with it's thumb print scanner and face unlock. Tempting to go back to moto
Great video Josh long time no see 💪🏿✊🏿👍🏿
Missed you on Android authority. Glad I found you 😊
One of the finest is a 20yr old whiskey
Wow, I'm looking at the phone on motorola's website and the camera layout is different than the unit you have there. . . Have they revamped the phone or is something else afoot? 🤔
Must be looking at last year's
Quick question, does it support millimeter wave?
I bought the Motorola edge 40 pro about a month ago. I really like it, it's like a Google pixel with more features. I have one problem , When I'm on the phone people say that when I talk I sound muffled, I took off the case and nothing changed but with the headset its clear that they say I sound great. Just wondering if the US version has the same problem or just that one phone that I have.
Yup, well known microphone problems. I read them on Reddit
@@Jo5ue1 I bought a 2023 Motorola edge and I don't have that problem. Thanks for the info.
That's great, yet again I read it on Reddit, those people are toxic.
@@Jo5ue1 yeah they can be
Es bueno este phone en multimedia? El audio si esta fuerte?
Cuanto dura realmente en cargar por completo? Tengo el s10 pero no me gusta su bateria y cuanto tarda en cargar! Ademas de que ya no se actualizó!
te lo compraste?
@@bionicox No! Sigo igual!
@@gnr1090 yo lo recomiendo mucho, por potencia, pantalla, resistencia al agua y que te da al menos 3 años de actualizaciones a comparación del s10 que ya no dan más
@@bionicox Entonces si vale el cambio anque ya vaya para un año que salio?
@@gnr1090 claro que si, pero depende en el precio en que lo encuentres por que pueden a ver otros buenos dispositivos
That watch looks cool bro, what is it ? Moto ?
Thank you so much for this review!
Does it have the call screening from Google just like the 2022 edge plus? That's one of the top priorities
Call recording is available in moto phones at least here in India. It's just that it will notice the other person.
This is a great feature but my battery life is so bad on the Pixel 8, I'm returning it and getting this Edge plus
Will wait the edge+ 2024 love the edges!
Hi Joshua, Will you also review edge 40 pro? The edge phones are very enticing as an alternative to one plus and pixels
Does it rattle in the camera area like the pixels 7 pro?
That's the optical image stabilization in the camera it's supposed to rattle fool.
I'm extremely intrigued by this device. My OnePlus 11 is having issues and they are doing everything in their power to not help me with my warranty claim. So, I'm stuck and I'm severely sick. I need something ASAP. I like this one and will probably be my choice. With Gen 2, are to a point where the 8gb of ram are sufficient? I don't game on my phone, but I'm definitely still a heavy user. I know they have the option to allocate a part of the HD over to processing power. But has anyone actually noticed a difference with that done? Also, my BIGGEST question. Are there any other unlocked devices available in North America that are in that price or below that you feel performed better and would recommend over it? Thank you for your help. For info, I can get this for 500 USD new at the moment and I can't seem to find any better options. So, it looks like I will probably have this in a day or two. Excellent review and video as usual :)
Only thing killing Motorola phone is they don't keep their promise on the support update
Is this phone Volte certified? Thanks Mate ☺👍
Does this phone have SD slot?
I have overlooked Motorola. I just now saw this phone while browsing Motorola and boy I missed out on getting a formidable new phone for Less money. Only thing that is lacking is OS support
Just picked it up for $699 on Amazon. Great phone. Love it more than the Asus Rog Phone 6 I was coming from.
Ahhh a fellow Abroad in Japan fan~
I really want one. I wish I wasn't so damn poor.
Motorola why did you remove the power fingerprint sensor. That is my favorite feature on all their phones and the chop flash light. Its unnatural to try and unlock the phone with the screen when you hand it already gripping the sides.
still trying to figure out how Great & Small go together when describing a 'step forward'
Damn I want this phone but I'm honestly still satisfied with my Moto Edge 2022 none plus version.
I have the plus version of the 2022
I have the 2022 None Plus and the battery life is terrible. Its prob the worst battery life phone Ive ever had.
Curiously I looked up the phone you have. Indeed, keep using it. Very nice.
This or the OnePlus 11?
I appreciated your video very much, because you went into details of the phone which matter to me. I can tell you have used Motorolas before! It’s those extra little things, the details of that brand which are just far superior to any flagship phones.
Camera comparisons with a flagship please (Samsung S23 Ultra, iPhone 14 pro max Honor Magic 5 pro etc)
After camera update can you please make a video of it. And if possible can you make a video on moto edge 30 ultra, as it has the highest mp camera given in moto. It will be great if you can. Thanks
Seriously thinking about this model. It's either this, S22 Ultra or eBay refurbished ZF3. Can't decide.
I have had S23 ultra and iphone 14 pro max, and i can tell you the edge+ 2023 is the better phone hands down! I have experienced better service and a smoother experience overall with this phone. Its $600 right now, an absolute steal! Get it
When you say better service, do you mean better cell phone reception?
@@rlmint Yes in certain areas that my iPhone would lose service the Motorola hangs on
Is the software good? I hears it's buggy now that it updated to Android 14
Can you consider moving from a pixel 6a to this phone an upgrade in camera perspective? I know everything else the moto kills the pixel
I really like what I've seen of this phone but have a couple things to keep me from pulling the trigger. First, I have a Pixel 7 Pro. Would this really be an upgrade? I feel like in some ways yes, in others no. I don't use the camera daily but when I do use it, I use it a lot and usually in difficult lighting situations like concerts. How does the Moto hold up there? I'm also leery of only having optical zoom to 2x (digital to 20x I think I heard elsewhere). The Pixel 7 Pro starts at 5x and goes to 30x. Their algorithm is 2nd to none when it comes to camera and their AI editing tools are really nice. The 2nd issue is updates. When is this phone getting Android 14? I already have it on my Pixel so how long am I going to be stuck on 13 before getting the update? I need speedy updates so that is also a concern. Also there are a few other Pixel exclusives that I would miss (e.g. call screen) that there are not workarounds for. In the end I'll likely go to Pixel 8 but will definitely be keeping my eye on Moto (and a couple other companies like Nothing) to see how it plays out.
I had pixel 7 before getting motorola. Pixel wins in pictures and video in all aspects and especially in harsher lighting conditions. Sometimes i feel like their camera software is 5 years behind of other companies. Even thought there has been regular security updates i can almost guarantee you that android 14 will not be before summer. Other than cameras motorla has been better in all other aspects. Much brighter screen in sunlight, fingerprint reader that works instantly with 100% accuracy and oh boy the mighty battery life which is atleast the double to what pixel offered.
I'm thinking of holding onto my Pixel 7 for special photography and trading in an older Samsung Galaxy to get this Moto Edge +. The battery life on the Moto Edge+ is exceptional, look at some of the 2023 lists of phones with the best battery life and this phone is in the top 3! Everything about this phone reviewers are praising, only drawback for some reviewers is the camera is not equal to Samsung S23 ultra, Google Pixel 8 pro & the latest iPhone. Well many phones cost much more than this one and also have cameras that cannot compete with the big boys.. I do have some concerns with updates, however, I'm going to take Motorola at their word and count on 4 years. I never keep a phone for longer than that anyways. Unless the OnePlus 12 is irresistible and priced well, this will be my next daily driver. I like software close to stock android and do not like how Samsung doubles up on so many apps and the UI is just too busy for my taste. I also do not like the "brick" that the Samsung Ultras have turned into. I liked their ultra style before it became the "Note". I may be in the minority here but that's alright, I don't think I'm the only one. I'd go for the Samsung Galaxy+ but it looks so boring and like every mid range Samsung phone now. If Google could greatly improve the Pixel's battery life I would stick with the Pixels, hands down, however, I can't deal with a phone that's battery drains like crazy the minute you get off of WiFi and use 5g service. My 84 year old Mom recently broke her hip and I ended up staying with her at the hospital without a charger with me ( so having to borrow nurses chargers, so embarrassing) and my Pixel 7 wouldn't last half a day while my Mom's Moto G power from 2021 was lasting 2 1/2 days. How crazy is that, it was a wake up call for sure...
Wish the phone launched in India too. It looks so good, and Moto were doing good with their past pro models, but for some reason decided that launching the pro would be a bad decision this year.
If only this phone had a top-notch camera system, but since it doesn't I'm sticking with my P8P.
It's the best phone in 2023 so far
Just picked up this device open box at best buy for $474.99. At that price its the best foagship on the market.
How’s battery life for gamers
How do you like it now after 3 months of use?
For half the price of an Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, the refresh rate is higher at 144, screen size is the same, 256GB is the same, battery and the battery size is slightly less at 4400. Motorola's stock price is a reflection of their sales obviously and are trading now at or near their all time high.
This is 512 gb ram and 8gb boost to 16
And iPhone 15 pro max 30 watts charger
Dude, I cannot wait to order this phone
I think it is very important that tak reviewer should emphasize about sd card slot.
This is Moto 40:edge ?
Great video Joshua. Nice Moto phone.
Do a review about moto edge 40 please 🙏
Great storage choice. Anything less than 512 is terrible on a premium phone. I just wish they would stop with the curved screens.
What game are you playing
What's the name of the turn based rpg game he's playing @2:55?
Curves are comfy.
Why so damn much focus on cameras??? After all this IS a phone....a communication device not a hasselblad pro camera.
My dad will be so proud of that pun 0:15
I bought one on launch and its been pretty decent so far. Has anyone been having any battery life issues? Mine seems to drain very quickly.
It goes to normal after a few days. The majority of my Motorola phones had that problem.
this is a flagship that sells for only 349 at best buy. You cant beat that
You are looking at edge, not edge plus?
