I have one of the Moto Edges, can’t say I have many complaints outside of the slow charging and a dead pixel that developed a year in.

The edges didn’t bother me as much as I thought it would, I can even use it as trigger to play Citra games which I couldn’t do with a flat phone so that was nifty. Clean software, long battery life, but terrible update schedule though.

    I think Motorola is definitly trending upwards and I am really considering them for future purchases. I think after the boring mediocraty they had going on from 2017-2021 they finally got back on track with the edge series.

    I also have heard a lot of good things about their ready-for Desktop mode, which for me is a feature every modern phone should have!

    Some of the best android phones, especially for the price. They seem to last forever and have good non-bloated software + unique features like shake for flashlight (why don’t other OEMS have this?). Only complaints I have are some lack of custom ROM support and sometimes wear over time. But for the price they are almost unbeatable.

    I’m not a person who’d be loyal to a brand. Yet Motorola consistently produces devices that turn out to be the best trade-offs (price to functionality) for me. And, so far, all these devices were pretty durable as well, though it’s not that I really put smartphones into lots of use. That’s all I can say.

    Motorola mobility(the one that makes phones) has been sold to Lenovo(chinese company). Their recent phones range from great value for money to mediocre. Their moto g32 was(and still is) great value for money

    https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g32-11733.php

    Snapdragon 680(6nm), 90hz screen, water repellent design, fm radio, 5000 mah battery, 30w charging, 85% screen to body ratio, headphone jack. All that for 160€ which is basically as cheap as you can get(a decent phone).

    For me, their main feature is the flashlight shake, that allows you to turn on the flashlight just by doing a shake motion(no need to go into menus and stuff).

      I think the sold is a good news, because the quality of last smartphone is bad.
      I trust in Lenovo to up the quality.

    Took a leap with the Motorola RAZR 5g in 2021. Liked the features and the UI was decent, very similar to a Google pixel with a few extras.

    Bluetooth sucked and had issues with the phone being picky with its USB C cable.

    Worst part…with only 9 months with the phone the foldable screen started to fail, shortly completely unusable.

    The screen is conveniently not covered in the one year warranty.

    Phone cost me $600 brand new from T-Mobile. Repairs with Motorola would be $900!

    Contacted them through Twitter and ultimately they tried to give me a %15 discount lol

    Never again with them
