Motorola has been stepping in the right direction for the Moto Edge Plus phones. My mother uses the Edge 2021 and is more than adequate for her since she is not a heavy user for her phone. The downside was the screen was LCD and no OIS for the camera. The Edge Plus 2022, the phone I currently use, made some great improvements over the 2021 model. The OLED display, OIS for the camera, wireless charging, and fast charging at 68 watts is outstanding. Unfortunately, Motorola is slow on OS updates as I'm still using Android 12. The Edge Plus 2023 should take care of the OS updates and should be a great phone to buy.
Oooh boy I had problems when they first came out with the 2020 model. I went through four different phones where the LCD screen underneath went purple had double lines had splotches you name it all within 2 weeks of each other. Shout out to Verizon for sticking by me and replacing each phone. I didn't blame them as they didn't make the phone and I was ready to go on my fifth phone with Motorola directly. But I finally got the phone that I wanted but they took away the high refresh rate. Maybe that's what was killing it. So this phone will be in 3 years old is still a very good phone but it's getting kind of glitchy. You tap on something online and it goes back to the home screen and sometimes it just turns off by itself. Makes you wonder why it does that.
@@awfullottauchies5412 I got mine from boost out the door for $355 purchased an unlock code from eBay for $6 and now working with att. Like this better then my s22 ultra to. No lag, smooth, fast charge, and battery life is insane. Day 3 I got 9hrs sot with 29 % left. And camera is good.
I like that this phone has 512 GB storage. Phones with that type of storage cost over 1k. Also, 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches is great. Better than the Oneplus 11 as it tops storage at 256 GB and no wireless charging.
Finally, someone stepping up to compete with the Big Boys! This phone if it is marketed correctly could take a major bite out of Samsung .... and maybe attract a few Apple Sheep to leave the farm??
He is right the specs alone on this device for the price compared to Samsung and apple is a steal I'm most definitely getting this...was going to get a new Samsung but nvm now. I'm getting this
@@Cubano2031 . AT&T does carry 5g they didn't few years back and as far as support I reader have a Google pixel 7pro but prefer this Motorola over the Samsung S22 ultra, Samsung has too much bloatware in their software.
@@metallion0738 I can confirm that AT&T don't support 5G or wifi calling on this Moto edge plus 2023 . (I have the phone) and AT&T support confirmed it
As a fan of Motorola, I'm glad to see them stepping out of their comfort zone to improve. This phone seems like a true flagship and my only concern is that Motorola has a less than stellar history on very slow updates. Once they figure out how to do more timely updates, they'll truly be back in the flagship game. They should also start making their flagship phones way less expensive with the same specs as this phone. It'd be a real flagship killer phone at $599 or $649.
It's already 399$ if you buy it threw Boost mobile. No one is paying attention to what an amazing deal the Edge+ is now because at the same time Boost decided to offload all their 64GB IPhone 12's for only 199$, so of course that took all the attention.
@@aidensnow5017 both really good deals. I ended up getting the unlocked Edge Plus 23 through Motorola with a traded Edge 22(non plus model) and ended up paying about $500. Not bad
Just got this phone yesterday through an online shop and I'm glad with my Motorola. I bought Chinese version coz I can't wait to launch it here in the Philippines. I'm very satisfied with my moto.
I'm really digging what Motorola is doing lately. I've always been a fan but the last year they've really upped their game on improving their design and specs on the newer devices. With the new 2023 Stylus, G 5G and this Edge+ they are making a phone for every price range. Kinda reminds me of what Samsung does with their lower and mid A series devices then their S series for the flagship. I'll be very interested to see what the reviews say for these 3 Moto 2023 phones. They look to be a step up from last year.
It all depends on the camera. Any company can drop in great camera hardware, but it's all about the SOFTWARE processing the images. And so far, Motorola has shown that it doesn't know what it's doing in that area. Hopefully these 2023 models improve. But the new moto Thinkphone got average reviews in the camera department so I'm concerned for these models.
@@xphyle for me as long as the camera is good I don't care that much about that. I don't get why people obsess so much over cameras and spend most of a video talking about them. Yes they are important. But, I'd rather they focus on performance, battery life, call quality(something they need to improve on), an official IP rating on every device, better software support and a brighter screen. I will admit cameras are usually the weak part of a Motorola, but I prioritize everything I listed above over having the latest and greatest specs in the cameras.
@@xphyle clearly you prioritize different things than me. If I obsessed that much over cameras on a phone, I'd either get a girlfriend or a Nikon lol 🤣 seriously it isn't that big of a deal.
Motorola has made great changes yes, I'm hoping they make a Stylus 2023 model I believe that'll be their main flagship. Thier 22 model which I own is really good
This cell 📱 is awesome 😎👍 .. HELLO MOTO 🎉 I have the Motorola Edge plus 2022 and is fantastic, this year I'm buying the Edge plus 2023 and the New Razr phone 📱 😎👍
Did you have issues with the Camera on Instagram (like for stories/in messages)? Mine doesn't work on this phone. Just a black screen. I've tried everything with troubleshooting.
@@rxonmymind8362 no I was looking back to last year when edge+ was released and then I thought they did another release for that with pen compatibility. Or maybe that was all just one release? If so, then I wouldn't expect an extra with this...
@@adamd3314 Sorry can't help you with that. I'm just getting back into the loop as my phone is a 2020 edge+ and looking to get this one. Been browsing a bit but haven't come across anything about a pen with this phone. Good luck! Ps. I had the Samsung phone with the pen but turned it back in because they had too many glitches. Take that for what it's worth about pen phones. I didn't find much use for it.
Honestly over the years of having smartphones for 10 plus years. Os updates rewlly dont matter to me anymore. As long as the phone is fast can text and make phone calls im good. I thinj people are fetting too wrapped up in the long ks updates of apple phones which usually make the phone slower and battery worse. Just my opinion
I love the look of moto phones and there UI SKIN IS COOL but they are way to slow on the updates and sometimes only give one year. I just can’t with that
I would request potential buyers of this device to check the Motorola forum on the edge 30 ultra (predecessor to this device launched at the end of 2022). The device as it stands today is still stuck on android 12 and has even had all security updates delayed. The phone has various bugs that remain unattended despite months of complaints from multiple users and the camera is sub par to what Motorola has advertised. The advertisements do not tell the truth. The customer care is terrible. Accessories, even basic items like the charger itself are unavailable for purchase from the market or Motorola's website itself. Buyer beware
Did you ever used Motorola phone before miss? So let me tell you Motorola support is awful, why? Small search on Google tells you how Motorola useres are unhappy, Particular moto edge 30 ultra users, the last flagship still running android 12, and the other company realise android 14 beta for theres phone? So who will buy phone with full of bug with no support 😅
BUYER BEWARE !!!! I bought this phone on May 19th 2023 when it was first available. I got it two days later. The following day I wanted to activate it with Verizon, this phone was clearly advertised as being compatible for Verizon. Verizon told me otherwise. Motorola told me it's compatible with Verizon. I had to argue with both companies that they oppose each other's opinion and I'm just the person who pays for the device. There was no solution being offered from neither of both parties. It is unbelievable that Motorola could not find the issue and you would think they work long enough together with all the carriers to figure out how to make a phone and how to sell it. Since Motorola couldn't find out this problem the literally told me I want to return it and ask for my money back. I asked them if they are going to tell this every single customer who wants to buy this device and cannot activate it, opposing the initial compatibility as per advertisement. I got nothing but apologies. Don't buy this phone! The initial title of my review was : "not overwhelming for a current flagship" This is my second motorola. The first one I just replaced with this edge Plus 2023. I must say it's nice but not overwhelming for the price I paid. My old Motorola MOTO z4, which is now 4yrs years old, had also already a 50 megapixel camera. So this did not change much except of the software. Also my old Motorola has a much more saturated colored display ( if you compare one by one). However the display is very good and the stereo speakers do the rest, TH-cam videos are a charm. It's a downside not to have an external memory card slot. However, I can use an adapter cable and access a flash drive through USBC. I may update this review.
Did you try getting Verizon to provision your SIM card as "CDMA-less"? I ask because I had to do this with a Pixel 5a and I made calls and got internet but texts wouldn't work at all. As soon as I told the online Verizon rep to try this(she didn't already know so you gotta mention it by name), I had to reboot my phone afterwards and a flood of texts came right through. Although you should be cautious in taking this route because even if it works, you might have to get another SIM once you change phones. Once I changed from the Pixel 5a, the next phone(an iPhone XS) would not work on texts again. The Verizon reps aren't authorized to remove the CDMA-less provision so you'll likely have to get an entirely new SIM card. I figured I'd mention this if you still have this phone and wanna attempt to make it work. Hope it works out for you.

This is going to be my next phone. I was considering the Pixel 7pro, but I miss the shake for flashlight haha.

Sold my 7pro for this no regrets. But in everyway but camera still good tho. No regrets.

Can you turn that feature off? Does it ever accidentally turn on from movement?
Im still real happy with my Motorola edge plus 2022 ,its had no problems
Now I want the 2023 edge plus
Best part about this phone is the $100.00-$300.00 price drop that always happens right before a Pixel launch.
This is my new device. This is perfect.
