Glad you're feeling the same about performance (3.39), a review shouldn't or doesn't have to be about benchmarks etc, it helps me no further... And glad to have found a review in proper English as well, thanks a million!👍🏼
I haven’t owned an Android device in nearly a decade. Back then they were still very glitchy and mine was no exception. I’m assuming all those things are in the past, but I’ve also grown so accustomed to the iPhone. Great review!
Sub earned! Love your sentiment, mine exactly - anything in the past couple years works great for everyday tasks! I've been a moto lover for years, but the cameras have been blah. If they've fixed it, GAME ON! LOVE Moto gestures, chop, 144hz, 68+ watt fast charging, etc.....
I just order it and i can't wait to use it because i have a very old phone so its very good time to change my phone and i like the curve display thanks to you i can finally buy a new one.
I can definetly understand that sentiment now... I had a Moto G2 for a short time, the charging entrance of the phone broke, and thus i had to switch it because it was impossible to charge the phone. But for the short time i used it, it was slow, laggy, in a few months i could few myself not being able to use it because of how slow it was. So around 2018 or something like that, i switched the Moto G2 for the Moto G5. In the begining it felt great! Had more than double the RAM (Moto G2 had like 512MB RAM and the Moto G5 has 2GB) But now The moto G5 is Unusable... the Keyboard itself is an app, so when you open the Keyboard on another app, it lags everything, because it can't handle both things open at the same time. (Just Android alone takes 800MB of RAM, so everything that uses a keyboard is doomed because there is no RAM to spare) Now i got an Moto G7. Still Old. Still only has 4GB of RAM. But now it can run everything comfortably. It does lag in some ocasions or another... but i can play games on it. I can write messages without needing to wait 3 seconds for each letter i touch to actually register and appear in the message (which is just an average, but not really far from my experience with the moto G5 nowadays) So yeah, i can see how the past few years of "modern smartphones" doesn't feel that different from each other anymore, when they have more than 8GB of RAM and the processors are good, and the Storage system like eMMC or UFS are nowadays better there's really no real bottleneck anymore for most tasks. The only thing now that i'm considering before upgrading my phone is to wait for a new midranger that already starts at Android 15, so it can have a longer longevity with the updates... Android 14 is already coming to the end of it's life cycle, so I'm going to wait for the Android 15 to trickle down to the midrangers before buying a new phone, (Since Motorola is really bad at updating their OS, just like 2 or 3 updates and then you're left behind) I guess anything with more than 50% power than my current phone is good enough for nowadays.
If you're talking about Pantone, the colours company, it's pronounced how you see it: Pan (as in frying), Tone (as in musical note). Also, I hadn't noticed you waving phones about, but now I can't unsee it.
great review. you got yourself a new subscriber! I'm exactly the same type of user and I agree with you, mid range phones are very good. as long term motorola user , the only issue and I'm not sure about their support. it was a mess with the edge 30 ultra and 40 pro. Don't know how will they fare this time but don't expect much improvement, they hace huge delays delivering new software updates or fixing issues. If you don't care about any of this you'll be fine.
Had mine in black for 2 months excellent for price got it from voxi £379. I do find the curved screen annoying if I'm gripping it sometimes it wont do anything. Also it gets super hot when it's charging!!! But for price it's a great fone.
Confined nice review, wished Moro kept headphone Jack on together with some important multitasking gizmo tricks to facilitate file transfers/transcript etc easy.
Will you be reviewing the Edge 50 Ultra? I've taken a punt on one from Motorola UK which has it priced at £849.99 with free pair of Moto Buds Plus, and a free one year's screen damage cover. In a recent Motorola UK's spin game I won a 15% discount on any purchase, so Edge 50 Ultra is costing me £722.49.
This is a good phone for sure but I think a better bet is picking up a s23 ultra from last year for about the same money as much better phone and Moto have a sketch record with software updates. So the s23 ultra will get longer updates.
I highly recommend to try the Lenovo's DEX model. The wireless connection to a smart tv in my G84 is far more reliable and faster than my Fold 5. One is cost 380AUD, one is Cost 2500 Aud. Sure, the OS update support isn't as long as Pixel and samsung, but the cost is just right fir Moto.
To all those people complaining about 500+MB storage capacity and yet most of us have access to cloud services via google drive etc. 500mb is already way enough.
It's most likely youtubes compression, but I like these Photos more than pretty much any of the photos I've seen in reviews of iPhone or something like Huawei Pura 70 Ultra...
The ultra may be different than the US version like last years 40 pro had a 4600mah battery and the edge 2023 plus had a 5100 mah battery...i wanna see whats different in the phones when the other versions are released😊
Please, can you tell me if the Edge 50 Pro is dual sim and, in that case, are both sim card slots for physical SIM card? I find it very confusing when I read "Dual SIM (pSIM + eSIM"). Many thanks!
I am not really attracted by the Motorola brand, I currently own an Iphone 13 of 2022 and I am in a huge dilemma: do I buy the new iphone 16, the new pixel 9 pro or the new nothing 2a plus?!!
I’d love this phone, but but but! I want the increased storage but don’t want all the other stuff that goes with it. You didn’t mention which code for Bluetooth it has on it, how do you listen to lossless audio on it? Seriously, I’ve always been an apple guy, and can’t believe I’m seriously thinking of changing. I’m likely to be upgrading my phone before Christmas this year, so I am genuinely thinking of changing to android. I’m totally blind, and Apple used to be miles ahead with speech accessibility on phones but apparently no more. As my new Apple phone is likely to cost somewhere around £1500, I’m seriously looking at an alternative. I have a Motorola android phone and I’m going to play with it intensively over the next few weeks and months. It’s a cheap one, but that shouldn’t detract too much from the overall experience. Lossless audio on my phone, that would be absolutely wonderful. Great Review Mark! Back to your normal standard.
While I agree the updates are poor, having used a Xiaomi redmi 11g pro for a few years now I'd rather have poor updates excellent OS from Motorola than this piece of shit OS on redmi phones. Can't speak for other brands, more than that I don't like Samsungs looks either
@@KungKokkos Same. Whilst Motos OS updates aren't that great (security updates are good) I would still rather use a Moto over a Samsung or a phone from a Chinese OEM with a horrible iOS style skin

Are you a mid-range or a flagship kinda smartphone person? And why?
Software support on par with competitors? They used to be terrible with supporting older devices…
@@DanielEvansMusicmy edge plus 2023 has been getting regular updates
I’m very much midrange, and still use an iPhone SE (2020). I really just need my phone for calls, messaging, emails, and checking weather and traffic.
Bought one, using it right now, and i am absolutely loving it, it's a gorgeous phone ❤

Once you go 120 w fast charging you just can't go back.

Nope.

Vodafone selling this with airtime as low as £17 with 8gb data or £20 for 50gb . I am tempted vs pixel 8a at £23 / £26 . Pixel only 128gb .
Can you please compare camera of F1.4 with F1.8 what will be difference

Does it have the desktop mode still?
Motorola are stuck on curved screens when other phone manufacturers have gone back to flat screens.
