Motorola Edge | 2024 | Unlocked | Made for US 8/256GB | 50MP Camera | Midnight Blue

I bought this phone to replace my Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE as the battery was at 68% health. With no local Xiaomi repair shops to replace the battery, I thought buying a new phone would be the solution. Enter the Moto Edge 2024. I owned three prior Motorola phones so I was familiar with the brand. Mine is the unlocked version with 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage.Design/Phone quality: This phone is sleek, comfortable to hold, and with a nice curved pOLED screen. The eco-leather back provides a nice grip but the form factor is reminiscent of my old LG Velvet. Very impressive. It also has an IP 68 dust and water resistance rating.Performance: My 11 Lite had a SD 778 chip that has been a good mid-range processor for a while. The Moto Edge 2024 feels much faster. It's almost flagship speed. I think this is an upgrade for anyone using anything else than a flagship phone. I have only streamed gaming to this phone but it multitask very well without any hiccups..Aligning with flagship features, the USB-C Port is 3.1 and compatible with Display port 1.4. So, it has a great desktop mode that connects to an exterior monitor if you really want to get everything out of this phone. While the storage speed is 2.2, it still feels fast enough.Battery: This is why I upgraded the phone. I can get about 1.5 days on this battery. That said, I am a heavy user as I always keep the 5G running. I will update with just wi-fi daily usage as I'm sure that will increase battery life as well. I average about 10-11 hours of screen-on time each day with 25-30% remaining. This feels like an efficient use of the 5,000 mAh battery.Display: The display is probably the most underrated part of this phone. The pOLED running up to 144Hz is insane. It's also very bright and durable.Photos: Photos are fine. Given sufficient light, images should come out detailed. I haven't tried to shoot at night or in suboptimal situations less but it seems fine.Video: Video is fine but only offers 4K at 30 fps, and 1080p at up to 60 fps on the rear camera. The front camera doesn't offer 60 fps at any resolution but offers 4K. Still, smart stabilization is offered at both resolutions on both cameras.Value: I missed the best deal at $249 but bought it at $299. For this price, this is a phenomenal deal! While it is not an inexpensive phone, the build quality, display, performance, and battery are all hallmarks of a more expensive phone. This is a great upgrade from a recent budget phone or one 2 years or older. If you're looking for something to feel fast without breaking the bank, the Moto Edge 2024 is it.

This the the best value for money phone I have ever bought! I got it refurbished from Amazon Resale for $200. Excellent condition, no cosmetic or functional issues. It supports eSIM, wireless charging, has a gorgeous display, 256GB storage, 8 GB RAM and a solid battery. The extra "actions" button is also nice. It also supprts DisplayPort over USB so you can hook it up to a monitor. It is much slimmer, lighter and grippier than my Pixel 6a. Delighted with the purchase!

Love this phone. First non Apple product I've had and I was really worried I wouldn't be able to get used to it. The switch wasuch easier than expected and the phone has been even better than expected. Fantastic camera, plenty of speed and storage. The screen is great and colors vivid. Grade- solid A overall

This was a replacement for my wife's Google Pixel 6. To sum things up - she loves this phone. It has a large, sharp display, clear, rich sound, and the battery easily lasts her all day - sometimes even longer. I cant believe this isnt a flagship phone, as it does just about everything her Pixel did, but at a much better price. Maybe the cameras aren't quite as good as the Pixel's, but the pictures she just took on her trip to Spain all came out looking great. If you're not a gamer or power user and your ego doesn't need to have the newest and best all the time, you should check this phone out.

I was hesitating between this 2024 edge and stylus. I chose edge for its light weight, metal frame, and wifi 6 support. Don't care much about 3.5mm audio and 256 G is enough for me no need extra sd card slot.pros and cons:1. This phone design definitely beats most phones in the market, probably also because I'm a big fan of edge screen. I change my phones a lot, almost need a new one for each year since I'm a phone breaker.. galaxy 20 was my favorite phone and now I feel this moto is even better. It uses a super thin but decent camera which I really like, while all the other manufactures are competing performance by putting large and heavy cameras. It feels comfortable and firm to hold for its width, weight, curved design and the leather back.2. the battery is insane.3. the auto app update notifications is annoying. I removed some of the useless apps during setups and a day later it notifies me to install them back. There are so many apps that you won't use at all but I should not complain too much since Samsung and lots of other brand phones do the same thing.4. Don't think too much about finding screen protectors cause it's not designed well for curved screen. I changed lots of protectors while using my S20 before, and finally gave up trying. No case either cause no case is better than the leather back. Which means it is very fragile. but the 2-year updates doesn't support a long-term use either.5. The performance is OK. if you investigate in the snapdragon 7s gen2, you will find that it is actually just an update version of snapdragon 6 gen1. I won't recommend it if your a gamer or video editor. But for all other usages it is good enough. I have no problems opening lots of apps, never see a noticeable delay. plus the 4nm 7s is very energy efficient which also enhances the battery life.Overall, it's a great phone and I'm glad I got it from a good deal.
