I agree, if they can provide better software support I'm sure they would be more on the publics radar. Like you said this phone feels great. The screen is 6.6 but can still operate with one hand due to the curved screen. The phone is snappy and strong enough to play games like Cod on high graphic settings. I'm liking this one a lot. Appreciate your input!
@@Tekmogo with motos black Friday deal it was a no brainer at the price, I’m not familiar with the mediaTek chip inside, good to know it handles call of duty well. I personally haven’t used it much haven’t gotten the chance to daily it yet. Hope your enjoying though
For some reason they have been updating the Moto Thinkphone every month rather than the edge of the Razr, and the thinkphone comes with the charging brick and case in the box at $399.
Hello! same I’m so used to the iPhone having the volume buttons on the left side. Do you have a case? Makes pressing the buttons easier I think. Appreciate you stopping by!
Looking at this and the 2022. I need to get the otterbox defender this time. Only available for the 22. I really wanted to get one with a 3.5mm jack and sd card slot. But thats really hard to find a decent phone with those features, and one that otterbox makes a defender case. Do you have any suggestions? Edit: and something that has a bright screen, as i work outdoors
Hello, expandable memory and 3.5mm jack combo is getting harder and harder to find on a decent phone. My picks would be the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G and the Motorola Stylus 5g 2023. Both have those features and decent screens. Unfortunately I don’t think OtterBox sells a defender case for either of these but you can find similar cases on Amazon. Appreciate you stopping by.
The glass scratches real easy I've only had the device maybe 3 weeks and I've got like two or three very noticeable scratches on the glass and that's not me carrying it with keys in my pocket or laying it flat on the surface I don't know how I got those scratches but yeah if you can get a screen protector as fast as you can
@@Tekmogo I mean we all treat our phones differently I may have been real rough with it and I didn't realize it but I can't recall so I just want to make sure that doesn't happen to you
@@joshuapatton2387 I don't know your circumstances but my circumstances are different. I couldn't order one immediately. Only had the phone 2 days.

Thank you for this review i was looking for a cost effective phone to replace my daughter iphone 8 plus. My only question… can we use the charging port with an adapter for corded ear phones? Bluetooth are fine in short spurts but i have concerns using them for days on end.
Hello! I just picked up an adapter this morning and can confirm that it does work with wired headphones when using an adapter. 😀 Thanks for stopping by!
I think it would be but for $50 more I would go with that Motorola Thinkphone. Much stronger processor and comes with a charger or if you can catch the Pixel 7a on sale I would look into that as well based on Software support and it also having a stronger processor than the Edge2023. Appreciate you stopping by.
I bought this phone a few months hefore the year ended. When I got mine the case was black and it came with the charging block. Kind of curious why you didn't get one. Great phone though!!!!
Thanks bro. Finally a review that compares the Motorola edge 2023 to the 2022. Would you say that the display on the 2023 is better than the 2022? In terms of display color, contrast, sharpness etc? Which phone is better, or is display quality pretty much the same on the two?
Hello! Color and contrast are similar but clarity and brightness the 2023 takes it. My brightness is set to 53% I need to be at 80% on the 2022 to match. Overall the 2023 has been great. Appreciate you stopping by. 🤙
Thanks for showing the 2022 and 2023 phones next to each other. I don't know why Moto phones keep getting skinnier since I'm a person who prefers bigger phones. However, no water resistance in the 2022 model is a deal killer. I think I'll wait to see what the 2024 version looks like even thought the 2022 version is dirt cheap via refurb
Hello, I actually like the 2022 more than the 2023 but yeah no water resistance was a big let down an I ended up trading it in for the 2023. Appreciate the feedback!
@@Tekmogo The 2022 model is under $150 US on Amazon. And I did see a case to help with the "water resistance." I may give it a try. If I don't like it, I can always return it and keep using my Pixel 5a 5G until something else comes along.
I read online this edge 2023 uses a plastic-base glass-covered screen. Just wondering how that fares in terms of resistance and protection from scratches and fall.
Hello, this is a great phone especially at the sale price but right now you can get the Motorola Think Phone that's also on sale. Its $399 but has better processor, gorilla glass victus and comes with a charger. I'd opt for that one personally while on sale.
Hello! It’s a great phone and I feel is one of the best you can get at the $350 price point. I still have it but don’t use it much these days. I’m always tinkering around with different Android phones. Appreciate you stopping by.
Hello, it's not too slippery since the back is leather. The problem is the curved screen with very minimal bezel. You get a lot of false touches when handling the phone without a case.
@@Tekmogo thanks for your response.. I just want to ask you that whether the case will cover the curved edges of the phone or not and how does the phone look with the case on?
@@TrinanjanDutta the case doesn't cover the curved edge but the lip of the case is higher than the screen providing protection. I personally don't mind the look.
Hey its been a while but do you still have the link to the phone case I saw your other video but I can't find it so I'm committed on this video if you still have the link I'll appreciate it a lot
Anyone who comes across this review (great review btw!) and is looking for a screen protector - Amazon and Aliexpress carry them. You can order one for either the Moto Edge 2023, or the Moto Edge 40 (not pro!) They're the exact same phone dimension wise (just slightly different specs), case/screen protector are interchangeable.
Hello! I ordered some cases off Temu for the Edge 40 that are on the way. I’ll post my findings on how they fit the 2023. Thank you for the comment and for stopping by!
@@Tekmogo Anytime! The only problem with the Edge 40 cases (and the only external difference between the Edge 40 and Edge 2023) is that the microphone on the top of the phone location is different, so the cutout will be in the wrong spot.
Hello, yes I'm using a case by Tudia I bought off Amazon. I put a link to it in the description if you want to check it out. Also found a screen protector as well. Appreciate you stopping by.
My IPhone8 finally started to show its age. Has a hole in the screen and still works. But it’s slow. Doesn’t sent messages and drops internet connections. Also has no more room on it. Hate that Icloud. Funny how IPhone has such little Gigs and hits you up to pay for storage…..Fido offered this phone for free. They say it’s a $1000 phone though lol. They make the payments for you over two years. Basically a slick way of keeping you with them. Guess I could sell the phone and put the money towards something different if I hate it…. Win win for me and Fido I guess? My plan is decent so I wasn’t going anywhere anyways. Lots more storage on this phone too. Just gotta get use to android again is all.
Sounds like it's time to retire the 8. Great pickup if you can get the Motorola for free. Android is easy enough to get used to. Appreciate the input! Happy New Year!
Hello! man... there is a lot of features I like on the Motorola but the processor always has me wondering. The processor, camera and software support on the Pixel 7a wins it for me. Appreciate you stopping by.
Hello, good question. To tell you the truth for day to day activities like media consumption, gaming, calls, they are similar. Both get the job done. There are some things the Motorola does like gestures, quick twist of your wrist to pull up the camera I think is awesome. The screen is great, super sharp, brightness is awesome and 144hz is amazing. The Pixel though has great software support, better camera and in benchmarks beat the 23 Edge. The AI features is icing on the cake. Build quality they are both similar. If you're looking to keep your phone for awhile I'd go pixel 7a. Software support is awesome. I would not buy either at regular price. I picked up the Moto for $249 on Black Friday and the 7a for $379 during the same sale. I think you'd be happy with either. Appreciate you stopping by.
@@Tekmogo I have the Motorola edge 2022 also have the my Google pixel 7A that I got for $300 when I traded in my Google pixel 6a I pre-ordered the Google pixel 7A and came with free case and free Google pixel a buds all for $300 after treading in my phone
