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.

@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.
Let me tell you a secret: There are so many similar, redundant Moto phones because for their lower end devices, they are all build by different white label manufacturers and Lenovo just slaps a label onto them.
@MargotRobbie honestly doesn’t surprise me, it just seems unhelpful, you’d think for all the inspiration most android manufacturers take from apple, they’d copy the lineup density. But nope.
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.
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
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.
shake for flashlight (why don’t other OEMS have this?)
As often as moto phones are praised for this feature, the reason has to be that they own a patent on this and other manufacturers are not allowed to just copy it. Can’t imagine it’s difficult to do with some customization 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.
