Motorola Edge+ Hands-On: Sort of Ultra?

I know I don't have to tell you that lately these are some very odd times. Social distancing aside, from a tech perspective, this is the time when flagship killers decided to make a flagship. A time when the ultra-premium companies are doing more-powerful mid-rangers. And even the most popular brands are going Ultra, at least when it comes to their approach.

Obviously no one could've prepared the world for what's currently happening, and proof of it is that back in early February, we got briefed about a product that was gonna be unveiled at MWC, and then that went south. And then delays kept coming and it is now officially two months after the original launch date was planned.

This is the Motorola Edge+, the company's return into the flagship world, and also, kind of the flagship that a lot of people have been asking for, but not from the company we were expecting. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and let's go hands-on.

Buy Moto G Stylus

Buy Moto One Hyper

Buy Moto One Vision

"No other manufacture flagship has managed to put a headphone jack."
LG and Sony: Am I a joke?

[thenionx]

LG never got rid of the headphone jack. They actually damn near perfected it. Give credit where credit is due

[alexanderg]

I just come here for the 'I'm J'aime Riverrraarrblrghhh'

I miss motorola of 2013-14 but good come back by Motorola the real brand is back

[TheGDEventI]

Honestly the excuse that the headphone jack doesn't fit on the huge flagships is a big lie... They just want to make it harder for people to use wired earphones, so that they are more likely to buy the wireless ones.

You know Jaime bro, I left watching some other (more viewed) Motorola Edge plus review as soon as I saw yours on the suggested videos page! Love and respect 👏

[TechDove]

Motorola shot themselves in the foot on this one.
Ultra premium compelling device

But carrier exclusive to Verizon.
When you're struggling in the flagship market with fierce competition all around I guess it makes sense to not sell an unlocked model or have your phone available on all major carriers S/

[TheSentinel]

I am ALL IN on this device - Headphone Jack for the win!

[wakandaforever]

Bring this to the UK and I would certainly be interested!

Motorola finally able to grab attention again, cool design, good internals....

[BolivarSolorio]

Really happy to see Motorola still making premium devices

[SM_H_]

Great specs, we need complete review ❤️😁

[Major_Mason]

I wish Moto brought back the Droid name for flagships.

[anujrana]

Motorola is in the game now! Back in the days the Droid series reflected beast mode!

[DeadofWinter]

Very excited for this phone. Plan on picking it up!

[jorgebarrerat]

Excelente video Jaime, ya veremos si es una buena apuesta de Motorola by Lenovo volver a la gama alta

[ShellymanStudios]

The curve screen is agressive, yikes! The specs sounds good on paper though.

[DavidManvell]

So it doesn't lay flat on a table with the camera bump? Can a cover be put onto it?

[peterhayton]

I think this phone looks really promising and I’m looking forward to seeing the camera performance in the review. If Moto had only used the Edge+ to bring back Moto Maker though...

[karthikroman]

I am a Moto lover. When this mobile launched to india and How cost indian prise.? Pls tell us

[boycott]

Due to the lousy Exynos 990 processor in the Samsung S20 Ultra in Europe, I surely would prefer the Motorola Edge+ here
