I've wanted to buy the moto edge plus 2020 for the longest time. They kept the headphone jack and expandable storage on this model. The only thing that sets Motorola back is their abysmal update cycle
Actually Motorola updates are quite good now it's more the worrying about the camera
1 year updates in most devices vs 4 years of Samsung.
@@laloqf actually no most Motorola devices now get 2 years os updates
Custom rom. I kept my Samsung galaxy s7 for 4 years completely up to date using them and genuinely barely saw any performace decrease. Even in the first 3 years it was much faster then the standard os
@@harryvlogs7833 And that's only security updates. Some of their phones quit the factory with no OS upgrades. For example, the newest Moto E7 is one of them.
One thing I love about Hugh is that he doesn’t repair the same device all time. He varies and that’s better than doing just iPhone, etc. Love the content, been subbed for 3 years!!
But iPhone is my favorite
@@sarahiftikhar4033 same but sometimes variety is also good
@@sarahiftikhar4033 yeah it would be boring if he did iphones 24/7
Or any specific phone model
Certainly one of the most beautiful displays I have seen, but with that curvature the repair is certainly not easy, great job. Nice video as always.
I love this device. Yes, the Edge feature is a gimmick, but everything else about it is great. Headphone jack, damn good stereo speakers, OLED panel, with Android 11 it is good with all non-Pixel Android phones out there. It's got it.
i dont care how good a phone is if it doesnt have a proper update schedule. these android phones barely get any OS updates and they always get it late. so glad i have an iphone 13 pro now
@@beastinfection638but that doesn’t have expandable storage or a headphone jack
You failed to mention the recalibration for the fingerpint scanner. I just did this repair for the edge plus (same frame and display assembly) and because the screen was switched it requires that next step. This is something new from Motorola since the Z4
Motorola phones are actually really underrated. I just wish their OS support was longer.
I with they wouldn't kick features out they've had for years all the time (headphone jack, dual sim AND microsd instead of the shared slot BS).. or intentionally cripple some models (selling a phone model without a compass... like wtf?)
@@Knaeckebrotsaege after the z2 play was on a 32 bit operating system for no reason I realized how incompetent Motorola can be with their software
Ive had several.last one was a e6 i believe.been so long.had 2.i love em.but i couldnt afford the moto g pure.$59.ive gotta samsung galaxy.ao3,s
@@seanallen2731 it's not even motorola, Lenovo acquired them and i've noticed theyve gone into the bucket
You could invest in getting a cricut or similar to cut adhesives for you in the future!! Simply scan or take a picture of the device needing an adhesive, draw the outline, then use a sheet of adhesive you can easily source online and then you can make your own gaskets/adhesives! Great for older/odd devices that people rarely make parts for.
I absolutely love the Motorola Edge's design. That screen is beautiful.
These repairs are always fun to watch!
True. Very true, even im litterally dont know what exactly did he do
You give these phones a new life.1 of many Pioneersof the repair industry
Well done Hugh. Love the thorough repair as well as the commentary...
Good morning Hugh thank you so much for the great videos
Hey, Hudg, try rl-35a - this glue looks like a best solution for devices with thin edges. Also I highly recommend t9000b, this one also good one if you need a little difference between frame and screen(this one is thicker)
Also this screen is 90hz, its an amazing phone,iv had it for about 5 months now.
I'm so glad the curved screen fad seems to have mostly died at this point. My last phone had a curved display and it never really gave any real benefits I could tell beyond looking neat, however the one time I dropped it and needed a screen replacement it was quite steep. Recently moved to S21+ and I'm happy to have a flat screen again.
for me (with an s8) I find the curved display nice for immersivity (it's a pretty cool effect to feel like you're just a holding a screen) and ergonomics because it matches the curved back. The edge panel is also very useful.
That being said, with samsung's pretty bad touch rejection, you definitely need a case, screen protectors are hard to find, apply, and are expensive and I guess I could do without it - screen replacements just aren't viable at all on s8's and s9's but that's a little to do with the high-res amoled panel
Too bad it's just OLED that you're using and it's still stupidly overpriced and gimmicky.
@@acumenium8157 are you saying that oled is gimmicky? and that you'd honestly prefer lcd?
idk about overpriced either, there are at least some great value phones that have it, just a shame that apple still sells lcd on their phones now, especially when they cost so much, and then they hit us with this 'liquid retina' garbage. also, just found out that iPhone 11's had LCD for like no reason and apple like told no one (listing it in the specs does not make them honest)
@@rolls_8798 Sure am! OLED burns in like crazy, is super dim, and struggles with non-black colors.
I'll take a good IPS over some OLED any day.
And yes, OLED costs vastly more than IPS. Using your iPhone example, it's the difference of like 5x the cost. One of the iPhones had an OLED or IPS screen. OLED was 5x the price. Like 150$ instead of 30$.
Because anyone can make IPS. Not anyone can make OLED.
OLED is also very fragile, which in a handheld like a phone is... not good.
Speaking of that, there's no real practical use for OLED other than a television. Anything else is too prone to severe burn-in due to static elements, like the taskbar on the bottom of Windows, or other UI elements similar for Android/iOS, etc.
@@acumenium8157 I'm sorry for whatever bad experience you had years ago but I would never go back to lcd. I assure you any modern oled phone will get plenty bright depending on how you adjust the brightness. I've personally never run into the burn in issue since I don't literally use my phone at 100 brightness on the same screen for hours at a time. My S10 from 2019 still had 0 burn in. As for fragility I can't speak towards that, outside of that one drop I haven't cracked or majorly scratched a screen in probably 10 years and I've been using oleds for over half of that time
Currently watching this from my Moto Edge 2020 with the 256GB internals. It's...I'm gonna have to seek counseling...
Woah seeing it fixed is so satisfying
Funny coincidence, but I got a Motorola edge 20 Fusion for my birthday 6 days ago. And then this video comes out.
Nice Phone and Nice repair!
I love watching these videos and seeing the phone transform
Thanks so much for these amazing repairs again, Hugh, please do continue to do this amazing work of yours, never give up, bro, your repair skills are unrivaled, without a shadow of a doubt! 😎💪🏻👨🏻🔧
And we are Done, so satisfying.
I love the e-8000 adhesive. Saved many a phone from water
Cool video and informative as usual. I really like the design of that motorola 🥰
I had this phone for about a week before the screen started failing and I returned it. In hindsight I'm glad it broke, because I probably would have ended up shattering the screen shortly after that. The egde display was nice but it definitely isn't worth the huge durability hit.
Oh no the black spot “spins three times”
But for real great video bro love your work
Love the content keep it up 😊
I'm glad to see a Motorola Restoration. Go Moto. 👍👍👍
Nice content, I just wish you have paid more attention on detailing the cleanliness of the phone. The ports and the cameras still looked dirty.
You might wanna take a look at getting a small weighted rubber pad to hold down your screens, rubber bands have a risk of shifting your alignment
Last time I was this early, the iPhone still had a charger in the box
Watching on my Moto Edge with the same color 🤣 nice repair as always.
I'm confused by the statement "Every other android phone is just black with a logo". Apple is also black with logo.
"Every other ANDROID phone"
Apple uses iOS, not android.
@@gateopssss hmmmm are you sure about that? I thought iPhones ran android and Samsung, google, oneplus, realme, oppo,etc ran iOS?
@@hman6159 100% man, i used bing to find out
I'm glad that they got rid of the "Edgeless" screen for their 2022 model year, which is the one I have. While it does kinda defeat the purpose of calling it the Edge, it's still one of the best sub-$500 phones out there
That is a beautiful smartphone display 😍
i have and iphone now but i had a galaxy s8+ before and i still think the curved screen design is very good looking
It's really crazy how you can see the phone's internal components and battery all, one-by-one being disassembled and re-assembled, really amazing and a precision requiring thing, but i wonder why devices cant be simpler.
To disassemble them in a simplier way without requiring advanced skills to change a specific
component of the device inside.
Im curious which devices or models could be repairable easier or hard, i mean changing battery should be easy done for consumers because batteries go bad and we need to replace it and not be forced to change device every 2 years.
04:05 Yes, that's a pretty common practise
Me watching this on my Moto G60 crying watching it's brother in this condition
Love the videos keep up the great work hugh
hugh that phone looks amazing man...
Love your videos huge .. wish I could send you my pixel 4xl which has a error saying not recognising my battery meter anymore!
Thanks for the guide!
Why not using precut original adhesive, this style of adhesive strips are thinner and will let loose earlier in time and are just worse in every way.
Afaik back in 2014 samsung released the Note Edge. And it was much smarter idea cuz it had the curve only on one side (so you can type just fine with one hand, using the other side of the phone). Plus it was a bigger curve, as there was no space for any buttons on that side, and also the software treated it like a separate screen, so no app would actually cover it (no stupid colour inversion on the corners, especially when watching movies). And at the same time the phone featured metal chassis + removable battery. Sadly they no longer make this kind of devices.
Awesome video!
Always better off using replacement screens preinstalled in new frames for curved displays. The negligible extra cost is worth the time and frustration saved.
Nice job Hugh and a lovely phone, I've never heard of it before.
Glad to see that you managed to get this back into a fully functional state! Most people would probably replace the display & mid frame as one whole assembly, which, whilst avoiding the need to unglue and reglue the display, would also involve a lot of work in removing and replacing every component into the new frame/housing. So either way, not a cheap or easy repair, but still, a good repair as it is now fully working once again and is saved from landfill.
I would love to watch my phone to be repaired by you❤️❤️❤️
El flex de la pantalla quedó muy doblado porque es más largo de lo que debería, va a terminar rompiéndose con el tiempo
I believe that it would be a good extra if you made a short review of the devices you repair. Either in a separate video or at the end of the repair one.
Good idea
its a Motorola i have a Motorola edge 2021 and it has a neat boot animation
I consider wireless charging to be a backup to cable charging, it's inefficient to use as your daily charging method, but it's useful if your charging port breaks, you lose your cable.etc
So it should be on all phones
Quick question what brand of liquid adhesive do you use? Btw good work as usual with this repair
It looks like E8000, from what I can see (and what has been mentioned before).
It's E8000 - and it takes a day for it to dry, which necessitated the rubber bands.
@@rosaria8384 also note that Hugh used to sometimes use something heavy instead (like a box of iCloud iPhones), but one time that actually broke the repair, hence why he now uses rubber bands
You forgot to put adhesive around the rear camera holes
i was thankful for having wireless charging on my phone when the charging port melted and i had to wait for the support to send me the mailing sticker
Why do they need adhesive to keep the battery in place? Older smartphones never did this.
Hey Hugh is that code only for Australia or can I use it in the USA if not it’s all good loved the video 😀
An easier way to remove the display is to remove all the components, and heat the chassis with the heat gun. The heated frame will soften the adhesive much faster the using a hot plate transferring the heat through the screen
Every phone with curved screen I owned looks like this 😢 that's why I absolutely despise curved screens
8:10 shouldn't you put some adhesive around the camera port as well?
The cases for this phone doesn't protect the display properly and screen protectors are likely to reduce screen sensitivity
Beautiful phone 📱😍
been watching you for a few weeks now
earliest ive been to a video
This is why curved screen suck. Not only because of ergonomics but also repairabilty and durability.
Nice video!
Is possibile to change only the front screen?
That display cable is gonna give up soon. It's already bended tightly and because of the plastic back it will receive more pressure over time.
Hello Hugh, I am a huge fan and wanted to do a DIY job on my phone. Just wanted to know what sort of liquid adhesive you use here. Thanks
I personally prefer glass backed phones, because its better at removing heat than plastic or leather
Fun Fact: Sticky Tack is one of the best things to use for removing dirt/dust from speaker ports and the like.
I think moto's new desktop mode is intriguing. Some Dex competition
It's work! Thx u so much
I thought Motorola partnered with IFixit to supply them with genuine parts 🤔
Hello friend, I want to make my mobile [Moto Edge 40 Neo] from you because I liked seeing the way you work, you take a lot of care while making mobiles. Friend, please tell me how can I send mobile to you to make it?
😊😊😊
Damn headphone port you say? I might have to trade in my current samsung and try get one of these
How about an even more curved phone - a Vivo Nex 3?
Hey Hugh, how are you doing?
Wireless charging can be cool if your phone has low battery and you have no charger on you, ask someone with reverse wireless charging for some power !
I want to start repairing just like you. How can I start?
Not sure if you’ve seen the news but apple is now selling oem parts
A flicker/flash warning at 0:50 would've been nice....
Damn that’s beautiful
Oh boy with those steep edges coming off the sides that has to be a pain to repair
It's great that you are reducing e-waste but how does this make sense financially?
The hardware alone cost 366. Motorola is selling 2 for 699
I'm very glad that most companies have went back to glass slabs and not over the edge curves like the original Samsung S6 and S7s. The downsides really outweighed the supposed benefits of having curves. No screen protector will fit properly, it's more expensive, harder to repair, etc etc
Question ❓, Hugh, can you put a headphone jack port in a phone that doesn't come with one, and if so can you put one in my phone for me🙄
hello, i remember in one of your videos you are telling us what app you are using to test phones (and componants, serial number etc...) but i don't remember the name and can't find the right video, could you help me pls?
Tks.
Please do a Sony XPERIA phone i would very appreciate it
Man, that one heated phone.
Another great video Hugh
hey, it's a bit unrelated, but do you know where I could get a quality sp86r battery to replace the one in my vita slim? I kinda don't trust amazon vendors lol
But you also made an iPhone X on a frame and it could not be restored
Hi Hugh Jeffreys. Is the original battery still safe to use after being removed? A lot of repair guides usually recommend that once you remove a battery, you shouldn't reuse it in case it was damaged during removal.
If you didn't poke it or bend it, it is perfectly safe to use, especially if the battery in question is still retaining good life and capacity, then by all means reuse it. They just cannot guarantee that your battery replacement will be done in a manner that is safe for you, your phone and the battery itself, so they keep it safe, since you usually cannot go wrong with going with a brand new and an original battery.
that phone will be one hell of a bitch to repair again if that screen ever has to come off.
Regardless, Good work putting another phone back into a useable state!
like your content mann
Hey Hugh, I have these remax head phones with a broken power button.The button is still in place but the sensor is most likely out of line with the button. I want to remove the foam ear protection from the headphones but they were made in such a way that they can't easily snap off.Im afraid that if I remove the foam I won't be able to put it back and one side of the earphones wouldn't have the ear protection foam, what do I do
You sounded different in this video. Almost sounding a bit bummed about something.
Hey jeffreys do you repair the google pixel phones?
You might want to test the display prior to applying the adhesive. Trust me!
