I switched to this from S21. Moto is superior for what I want. It's just more intuitive. I bought a Pixel 4 XL for $109 from Ebay and sent it to Verizon for $700 off. I got mine for $290 total as a result. I prefer the fast snappy screen, more plastic older gorilla glass which is flexible and won't crack and break when you drop it (phone is also in a case so I don't care about colors). The phone is just the perfect almost pure Android experience. It's too bad it won't sell well because it's better than flagship Samsung from a usability standpoint.

I still don't get why a headphone jack and micro SD storage isn't featured here. You would think Moto would want to differentiate themselves from the pack by offering these features...

Your review of the phone and your criticisms have no real-world application or value. In the real world, nobody is comparing screen pixel density or brightness; also, It is a phone - not a Canon R5 camera or a blazing fast Apple laptop computer. The average person just wants decent looking photos and videos out of their phone camera, which this phone offers and, in many cases, - surpasses expectations. The price of the phone is also $499.00, and for that price, it is worth it over the stupidly expensive IPhone 13 or Samsung S22 to which you compared it. I think reviews have become ridiculously stupid and tend to influence people to spend their hard-earned money for features they will hardly ever use!

Is it just me, or the desktop mode wasn't even mentioned? It might actually be one of the main reasons for (many like) me to go and buy this phone

[socalifone]

As of 3/2023 $475.00 direct from Motorola. That's a game changer. Dirt cheap for a outstanding phone

[italia]

Got this phone for $400 after trading in my old Motorola Z4 play . Definitely worth it!

[angelasarvis]

My main issue is support and updates. Why pay the same price for a Motorola for 2 years of updates when I get get 4 to 6 years of support and updates from Samsung, Google and Apple for the same price? If Motorola is going to play in the big boy arena and ask their customers to fork out big bucks, they'll need to step up and back their product like the big boys.

Got mine the other day, I really like it, I'm very happy with it .

[jasonlong]

I will always love moto always have in my opinion they have always been one of the best Android out there

The Snapdragon 8 has no problem with heating if used normally. It only heats up if you hit it with synthetic and extremely heavy, sustained benchmarking and such, it probably runs cooler than the 888 in any normal use including gaming. Probably. As for this phone itself, I'm annoyed I wasn't aware of it before I ordered a new Samsung - the Ready For desktop environment and other features around that makes this an extremely attractive phone for people who like to use their phones docked. I'm also disappointed that you didn't even *mention* that.

I got this phone. It's a beast. unless you just like having the newest thing ever year. This phone's screen looks the same as any new phone this year.

[Tadders]

Saw these used on eBay for ~$300. For a phone barely half a year old, that's a deal. Brand new from Verizon they're ~$900

[mitchfortson]

Mine with the 68 watt charger can charge from 15 to 100 in 28 min, Amazing...

[davidtennien]

Got it for $599 with trade in, it's a great phone.

You are literally just judging the Motorola Edge Plus just because it isn't a Apple and Samsung. I guarantee if this was a $1000 Samsung or Apple with the same specs you would be gargling Apple and Samsung for "innovation". The S22 ultra overheats and throttles performance and the 13's camera looks boring but according to you it is awesome... Hell the Samsung has a SD888 that overheats as well....

I'll stick to my 4 Moto Edge plus 2020's. Dropped my 4th one a few months ago and busted the display. Just got a new digitizer today from Ali Express. Got the back of the phone off. That's it so far. The original is so much better. I have 2 Gray's (although they're really blue) and 2 of the sangrias.

I bought this phone for under $200 and I am very happy with it. Coming from my broken Samsung S20 FE, this phone is snappier with 8GB of RAM, and also 512GB storage is very nice. The OLED screen looks amazing, and at 144Hz it looks better and feels better than my S20. The camera is more than fine for my needs, although it is not top of the line. And now that the 2023 model is out, you can get this $1000 for under $200?! It's a no brainer! I got the last one at my local Boost Mobile store, and the employee said he wanted it lol. Yeah maybe it's not a $1000 phone but it's a super value at around the $200 price point.

All I buy is Motorola loved my first gen edge+ but I'm kinda wondering why it had 108mp and this one doesn't not fully a deal breaker but seems like a downgrade from the first edge

[MtnXfreeride]

$200 through boost with no trade currently

[lindsaydavis]

Sales person talked me into a Samsung S22 when it was time for an upgrade. I absolutely hated it!! Gave it to my 11 year old and added a line just so i could get this specific Moto Edge+. I'm amazed at people who hate on Motorola. I'll never again let someone talk me into a Samsung or Apple. This is a great phone.
