Thanks for including Motorola's software update policy. Maybe if all TH-cam reviewers did the same the manufacturers might start to see this as an important specification like ram, storage, etc...
I have had this phone now for a month and honestly it keeps up with my wife's iphone 11 max pro!! It's awesome! Highly recommend getting it! And phone jack is there!! Plus battery is awesome and fast charging
As much as I like what I'm seeing from the Edge and Edge plus, are we all okay with Motorola saying that they would only support 1 major software update?
Google Android one policy says 2 years of software and 3 years of security updates by default. I doubt Motorola will mind that when it's proudly showing its bare android one as a feature. After all, that seems like a main reason why other Motorola phones got custom android - they can abandon those the moment after selling.
The good thing about this channel is hes reviewing all kind of smartphone (budget, midrange, flagship killer, flagship) unlike the other channels. Keep up 👍👍
The problem with them is that i feel right now they're just making a bunch of phones and seeing which one sticks. Like look at their recent catalogue, they all seem the same!
@@AutumnOnFire I agree with you, I'm still confused bw Moto G8 Plus and Moto One Action.. It's a little gamble ordering either of them, as you'll never know the difference until you use each of them yourself. But I personally I loved both the phones (One Action a little more :p
I have already ordered this phone from Motorola website with $164 two years protection coverage . anyway in the U.S cost me $691 dollars the phone with two years full coverage protection included. from Amazon I ordered screen protection and nice case protection as well these scratches shouldn't be a problem .
Really like this phone but I'll wait until the fusion + is announced to check the differences. But this probably will be my next phone. I know it isn't the best in the market and there's a lot better out there but I like Motorola they are rather unique , clean software UX and good at what they do.
I bought the Edge + from eBay. After the purchase I found the Edge had features the Edge + did not and the Edge + had features I didn't care for. I ended up purchasing the Edge for $500.00 at my local Best Buy. As for the Edge + I'll try see if can work with seller to return it for a refund or resell it myself on eBay or other platforms, even if I have to take a small loss.
@ÐΔz I ended up returning the Edge as well. One of the features of the Edge that was missing on the + version was face unlock, however that feature on the Edge was hit or miss. Also I was not happy with the cameras on the Edge. The Edge +, the eBay seller accepted the return and I got a full refund (I never even opened the package). Best Buy also gave a full refund as I reported a defect with the phone. I ended buying a One Plus 8 Pro upgrading from the 7 Pro that I had. Very happy with that phone.
Got a almost new one for 200 euro so it will be fun to test it soon when it arrives. Use moto g pro now since last summer and z3 play before that. I like moto 😊
Very helpful videos--the Edge is selling at Amazon US for $400 (just over 300GBP). At that price, would you choose it over the Pixels--whether 4a, 4a/5G, or 5? I'm looking for a phone that lasts 2-3 years, and am concerned about durability, features, and software support (still no guarantee of more than one Android update from Motorola, I think?). Would love to hear what you think.
I'll be buying a new phone in November and these guides really are helpfull. I have the pixel 3 but I'm not sure about the pixel 5. Hopefully you do a guide to help me decide.
I just bought an unlocked Edge direct from Motorola; waiting on the SIM from my chosen MVNO. I wish someone would do a report on the best available cases for the Edge, as it seems there aren't many. Yes, I know it come with a case, of sorts, but, it's no Otterbox!
Man thanks so much for covering the Motorola lineup so thoroughly. I was trying to choose between the Edge and the One 5g and your vids helped a ton. Went with the Edge cause I found one open box for $399. Only 2 days in but very satisfied so far.
@@dirkdiggler2695 It's still good. It got Android 11 last month which adds some nice notification and audio features. Moto did have some quality control issues with the display in some early batches. They addressed it with a software fix that works okay but makes the screen slightly less responsive.
@@cynicaloldgit7177 haha right. I accidentally slipped mine from the second story right on the big rocks. It bounced a several times. I didn't even have screen protection and it's absolutely fine without even a scratch. Now I call it a solid chap!
For 499.00 USD, not a bad deal. One year of OS updates are questionable? That's always been a problem for Lenovorola? The 📷's have always been the achilles heel for Moto phones. But I still like it. But for 500.00 still a good deal!
Thanks for the video! Are you able to check if DJI fly app is available for install from play store? I have G6 and they do not allow to install that app
Hey blok cheers, you better check your underpants, front & back. Is the edge+ a great phone? Yes, but being an exclusive here in the US isn't helping it's cause. 12gigs of ram & 256gigs of storage, very nice. The jack, on a flagship? Now it appears to be a premium feature? Waterfall display & very good stereo speakers, nice. Now, if the 📷's can compete with the 🍎's, Sammy & the pixels, maybe a very good purchase? Very good review!
Hi chris. I was just wondering when watching netflix shows on the xperia 5 are there black bars on both sides of the screen due to it being tall. I was just wondering as my favourite show dynasty just got another season and im thinking of buyin the xperia 5 but i need to know first.Thanks in advance.
@ Tech Spurt. Heya, I know this video is old but I just picked up a pre owned edge, and I noticed along the top of the phone, the words Motorola edge are faintly visible at all times on the screen, especially noticeable on a white background. It looks like a water mark but I'm pretty sure it's burn in. Does anyone know if this is some sort of intentional thing that you have to disable or is the phone faulty. I imagine it's faulty but want to check
It's a great phone but the Nord is much better value with more ram and the same CPU and glass back for a lot less and for the same price the Pixel 5 provides a lot more premium materials IP rating and wireless charging plus amazing cameras and the S20 FE provides a lot more bang for your buck.
hi @techspurt did you have trouble with the facebook app no matter how hard i try via setting or even reinstalling i can not get it to push notifications , ive just done a review (not a pro as yours though lol) id keep the phone as a daily driver if it wasn't for that , Samsung ultra is on its way to review this week so i imagine that will end up in my pocket
Hey Chris , how are you doing , I hope you are staying safe . I can’t come to make a decision , whether Moto Edge or Edge plus to buy . Here is in United States it’s Verizon carrier exclusive . but I am tempted to Stock-Android with 108 MP camera , HDR10+ support with powerful SD865 .
Are their any screen protectors and cases available for this phone yet? The US preorder price of $499.99 seems tempting. Laugh, but I'm still happy with my Moto X Pure, it just needs a battery replacement.
Why is the UK model advertised as single SIM, reviews and specs show it's a hybrid SIM, so microsd card and 1 SIM, or 2 Sims. Can someone from the uk confirm?
Man what happened to Verizon's brand DROID, i had the droid x, droid razr and droid z force and i must say those phones were durable and good rear grip they had.
It is a beautiful phone but my budget for Christmas is £300 at the max £400 but 4 is pushing my budget Any recommendations I’ve been considering the moto g 5g+ but idk Opinions I don’t need great features but want the absolute best for my budget I currently have an old iPhone se she’s still going strong but the battery is very poor i want something like it in terms of durability its 6 years old
could you go a bit slow maybe..seriously...i have no problem understanding but tempo-wise, looks like you are trying to beat the clock here and talk as fast as one can--like boom, boom, boom!
You think its worth it for 350 euro, if you care mostly for a good screen on your smartphone? Also dont care for video streaming services. Only thing that seems to suck is updates.
I wish it would have the same grooves on the top an bottom as the Edge+, that looks to cool. And why can this record in 60 FPS but the Edge+ can't. Btw Motorola promisses 2 software updates now after the backlash. But not having Netflix in HD is a real dealbreaker
@@thomascrane8747 sorry but what is boostmobile? And do you have any issues with the screen ? I v heard the green screen on this phone is very common and some ppl having to return the phone ?
@@66naj boostmobile is a carrier that use Sprint Network. And so far so good. I don't expect it to be as good as Pixel 5, IPhone 12 or Samsung S21 but it far from the worst. 🙂
For this price the back's material, lack of ip67 - 68 and the inconsistent camera software which produce 16 megapixel interpolation image with the 8 megapixel telephoto lense i don't recommend this phone. After the Z2 Force Pie update i dont give a chance for this manufacturer. Go and buy OnePlus or Pixel if you want a stock or near stock android device.
Dam it.. can’t spend that money knowing they only have one OS update in them, I keep my phones for ages, and getting rid of my current phone because WileyFox are a bunch of twats who are still selling phones, even though they did or almost go bust.. and stopped pushing out OS updates a couple years ago. Thanks for heads up.. do you think the new MotoG G5plus will have long life span? How do you find that kind of thing out? I’m liking the look of MotoG phones but all the nice ones are plus and are a beast. Great vid as always thanks.
Thanks for including Motorola's software update policy. Maybe if all TH-cam reviewers did the same the manufacturers might start to see this as an important specification like ram, storage, etc...
Agreed, updates are important, and frankly one miserable update is a deal breaker.
Do

One of the reason I'm watching this guy is the anime wallpapers.
Lmao same.
Weirdo
@@spriestplayer2329 stfu
😂Yeah
I know they're awesome 😭
Just a single major update in future?? That's enough to stop people from considering this phone,
I'll stick to my G8 power. it ticks all the boxes for me. By the way it was your review that sealed the deal for me to buy it.
Thank you.
That's my phone too. I'm upgrading to this for 5g, hopefully it rocks
As much as I like what I'm seeing from the Edge and Edge plus, are we all okay with Motorola saying that they would only support 1 major software update?
Edge plus gets 2
Google Android one policy says 2 years of software and 3 years of security updates by default. I doubt Motorola will mind that when it's proudly showing its bare android one as a feature. After all, that seems like a main reason why other Motorola phones got custom android - they can abandon those the moment after selling.
so glad you're getting the audience you deserve now, keep it up man!
3.5 jack, radio, memory card, stereo speakers, fast charge. Waow waow. The phone I need.
This phone sounds perfect on every level. While the processor leaves a lot to be desired, I'm definitely going to get this phone pre-owned
When you watching the camera comparison at 480p
Lmao pathetic, we watch at 144p
Pfft, we watch at a distorted state quality.
Same feel fam
I watch at 740P
Darn. I would like security updates. Other than that, the edge seemed like it could be the one.
The good thing about this channel is hes reviewing all kind of smartphone (budget, midrange, flagship killer, flagship) unlike the other channels. Keep up 👍👍

Motorola is making an impactful return to the market.. We expect a lot more😍
The problem with them is that i feel right now they're just making a bunch of phones and seeing which one sticks. Like look at their recent catalogue, they all seem the same!

Generally I like it and it's 100% compatible with T-Mobile including 5G.

Yes?
@Adam Johnston most definitely
Is it because most HD content is in 16:9 while the display of the Xperia 5 is 21:9?
This thing is $2000 CAD here in Canada at Bell. I doubt they will move many.

In times everyone has had enough of the pointless curved screens.. Motorola comes up with this. Great move!
Are you being sarcastic?
The only reason why people didn't like the edge screens were because they were too sensitive to touch, in this case Motorola has fixed that problem.
As a Xperia XZ Prumium owner who doesn't like to put protective case, it slide on it's own into sweet oblivion 🤣
Which is why mine has sadly died. Slippery, slidery, smoothery. But nice.
