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’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.

    @MargotRobbie Used to be decent value, but they’ve made a mess of it with far too many very similar models with pointless specs like 2-5mp macro lenses and such, also their update policy is abysmal, my motorola G4 play got left to rot lol. Not the only manufacturer guilty of this of course.

    I also think they should bring Ready For to as many devices in their lineup as they can. It’s an interesting differentiator.

    I use a Moto G50 5G, my wife use a Moto e32s and most of folks in my work use some kind of Motorola phone. My work phone is also a cheaper Motorola. No dead pixels, charging time is fine, build quality is good. Updates could be pushed more often for the OS. IMO Moto phones are good budget devices, but I don’t see where is the money flowing when buying flagship one. Like the Law of Diminishing Returns is cranked up to 110 for this company.

    I have a four year old Motorola One. The only gripe I have with it , is the poor support for alternative smartphone OS-es.

      I, too, am using the Motorola One 5G, and really aside from updates, I have no complaints, except the phone trips out once in a while or has weird screen glitches on occasion. Great phone though. Hoping to upgrade to one of the Edge series soon.

    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.

        Good luck waiting then, it has been sold in 2014 and by the way was owned by Google before. Could have been what the lines of Nexus and Pixel have become today.
