I can't stand that their is no chargers inside the box and they try to justify it by saying it is all about the environment when we all know that that is bullshit.
I've got moto fast chargers and cords so that's not a worry for me. Plus they're not that expensive especially with the lower price of moto phones. It'll probably be the standard for all makes eventually. Thanks Apple.
I still got my 2022 G stylus 5G (I picked up a 2024 G stylus 5G for stepmom to replace her 2021 G Stylus 5G - she's happy with it & Best Buy gave us a good trade in discount of $50 off the $399 price range). I won't be updating until next year (by then? I feel that Motorola will improve upon the G Stylus and the Edge further). 3 years is my average timeframe of owning a device, $400 is my maximum average price point (and I claim it as a tax deduction). More Pros than Cons this year from Motorola (except you got to buy a wall charger separately), and remember - Lenovo is a small Company compared to Google & Samsung. And finally - God is good all the time 🙏🏻📿
This phone reminds me of the Galaxy S8. I like it. Very snappy and works great. It hold PPS 25W charging all the way above 90% which I have never seem Samsung phones do. The desktop mode via USB works great too. The only downside is night time video mode is no good but I didn't buy it for that.
This looks like a good phone but honestly, the Razr and Razr Plus look better this year and aren’t much more expensive. At least the Razr isn’t but the Razr Plus is. But both of those are more premium this year and they just stand out more from a design standpoint. I’m not even a huge fan of foldable phones but damn, those Razr phones look sweet this year. And both have the always on display option too. Motorola is still charging way too much for them but they are by far the most interesting devices they’ve made this year.
They shouldve sold this device around the same price range as the moto G stylus. Motorola always every year over charges the price and value of this device never fails
This is a great phone if you don't want to deal with tensor BS and have a great phone with a decent camera yes you can get the tensor and you will regret the fact that you can't make calls texts are delayed and your phone over heats from the minimum task.
Will you be doing a gaming review of this as well? In particular, I'm curious if you can run call of duty warzone mobile. Not just call of duty mobile. Thanks.
Not having always on display is kinda nit picky to me. I personally hate always on display because it drains the battery quicker. I would rather have to interact with my phone to see what's going on than have a shorter battery life. Not to mention, it cuts down on distractions.
5:12 Well the other option is Google Photos i usually pay $1.99 for 100 gb since i don’t need much but the other plans are $2.99 for 200 gb and $9.99 for 2 tb a month.
I received my Edge yesterday, $299. Was not bad for T-Mobile I did have to order the charger from Amazon # 25 fast charge for Motorola Edge 2024 will get the other cradle charge to put by bed.. I found more features was interesting coming from moto styles 5g 2021
This phone looks awesome but the biggest downside for me is the curved screen. Kind of outdated at this point and not good functionality wise for phantom touches on the screen. I will admit that's a great deal on Metro by T-Mobile for it. But I'd rather get the G stylus 5g 2024 because of the flat screen and I like the general design better. I also don't get the always on display hate BS. Motorolas peek display in my opinion is a much better version of the always on display that is much more useful for interacting with your notifications and texts on the lock screen.
I agree with the curved edge screen being a downside. But I got used to it after never having owned a curved screen phone. Given that, the Edge gets 2 OS upgrades vs 1 with the Stylus. It has an ultrawide camera, 256GB storage vs 128GB, an action button for a custom app or actions, and Motorola Connect for connecting to an external display. The one downside of the curved screen is outweighed by the numerous additions the Edge has over the Stylus.
@@luizsalazar87 I agree with most of that to an extent but you have to also consider the two phones are $150 apart in price too. For those like me on a budget I couldn't afford the Edge unless I got a good carrier deal. One huge reason I'm considering the G stylus 2024 is right now through Straight Talk they are $199. At that price I can overlook the few things it doesn't have.
@@devilkazumi578 I understand some prefer the always on display. For me I think the peek display is better because it's unique and allows you to preview your notifications more in depth from the lock screen.
I have a moto 5G ace that i love. I think it's about 3 years old. Time for a new one. It's between this and power 5g 2024. Pros fir me on the edge. Gorilla glass screen and waterproof. Saved my current phone more than a few times. Power 5g has neither. Con is that curved screen. Reading reviews on screen protectors it seems they are hard to get on and stay on. Screen protector is a must even with gorilla glass for me. Also the phantom touches which might be fixed by a good case. Otherwise it's the power 5g that is basically similar to my 5g ace without gorilla glass and waterproofing. The razor I've no interest in and the stylus I'm not sure about but I'd probably never use or need the stylus.
Good video I'm very impressed by this phone doing some research The Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 is very comparable to the Snapdragon 888! Actually scoring just a little bit higher. Definitely on my get list
This phone was $265 tax included with 256gb memory and came with a case and screen break protector... I didn't wanna pay that much😂No contract no payment plans. And it's a lil better than what I had soo I'm happy
None of these are cons for me except the camera, which you didn't review. Thinking of switching to OnePlus or Pixel for a better camera, even though I've always used (and prefer!) Motorolas.
Moto nerfed peak display. I don't like the current implementation of it. Maybe the edge will get aod at some point because I've seen the new razrs have it.
The downside for me is inability to expand the storage. 😮 It was an impulse buy for me when I seen the 256gb storage & when I googled if it had expandable storage it said yes. I should've stayed with Samsung. Thank God I only paid $299.
The Motorola Edge 2022 and 2023 are getting three years of software updates and four years security updates. Someone messed up the software and security updates on this one.
I doubt that a phone that is $1299 is twice as good as this phone is, there just isn't that great of a difference between each phone. I would use this phone and be happy with it, especially if you get it one year old.
I don't understand peek display shows your notifications it just doesn't stay lit the entire time. On the other hand people complain their battery drains fast because of the always on display 🫣🫣

I don't even care if a phone doesn't have 4 years or 7 years of os and security updates.

I hate how all the big major android phone are making the phone designs like the iphone, I like my curved glass and sharp corners, for small phones iphone design is fine but for big not so much.
Only two years of OS upgrades is BAD. That sucks, because hardware and specs-wise, this really is a phenonmenal phone, a true flagship. Yet the lack of software support really hamstrings it. I am so tired of Google, Samsung and Apple dominating every phone review, when there are so many other competitors out there that already struggle for publicity and then are also given these artificial restrictions. Now I'm supposed to pick between a hardware beast with two years of software support or something like an 8a that's costs just as much and has seven years of software support but whose hardware has been outdated since last year. Screw these monopolies. Give us great phones that we can afford and use for many years again.
