- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2025Color: BlueSize: 256GBVerified PurchaseI have been really satisfied with my phone! I love the camera quality, the battery lasts a long time, and the size is perfect for me needs. It's big enough that I'm not losing it all the time, but not overly large.
I'm not super tech savvy so I haven't figured out all of the cool features yet, but I feel it's very easy to use, and the different settings I have are great for me! I can set bedtime modes, black and white modes, track screen time, keep my apps organized. I've loved it!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2022Color: BlueSize: 256GBVerified PurchaseI've had this phone for around 4 weeks and quite happy with it. I would suggest a case for those who tend to drop your phone. I always have because it is easier to grip, pickup, and provides a little cushion when dropping. Pictures are fine, although I would say the low light photos do suffer slightly but not a deal breaker for me. Ran some Geekbench 5 scores and they were between 782 to734 single, 2550 to 2730 multi-core.
Just changed carriers to T-Mobile and when in an urban area the 5G changes to 5G uc (Ultra Capacity) and the download was 500 to 600 mbps and upload was very good. So far my T-Mobile experience has been excellent with this phone. I live out in the rural areas and still get a decent signal to take care most of my common tasks on the phone. The WIFI download was 400 to 700 mbps and upload was in a similar range depending on the traffic at the time. It is a WIFI 6 phone. WIFI test was conducted in the same room as the router.
I've always been partial to the moto phones when I could get them from my carrier. Don't use a lot of the swipe options, try to keep it simple for this 82 year old mind. Love the fingerprint sensor on the power button or on the back(on an earlier Moto). So much more accurate than my Samsung screen sensor. Hated the Samsung because of that. If I read correctly, the "wizards of smart" are changing the new edge to a screen sensor. Should be fired immediately.
The display is fine for my uses. Watch some you tube, Netflix, news, and some local channels on my homerun HD app. Perhaps my standards aren't real high but no complaints here.
Battery life is excellent. I get easily a day and half or more with normal use. When I ran a video test with Netflix, the battery ran down at about 10 to 12 percent an hour. For me, that is just fine.
Checked the signal at my house inside and outside. I live exactly halfway between 2 towers approximately 14 miles apart. Outside my 5G download is anywhere from 50 to 80 mbps and 15 to 25 mbps upload. Inside 33 to 40 mbps download and 6 to 10 mbps upload. I have a brick home so signal resistance is higher.
Not including this info as an endorsement of T-Mobile but to give you some indication as to the strength of the Moto Edge signal.
Will update later if I think of anything of value to add.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2022Color: Solar BlackSize: 256 GBVerified Purchase**Update**: After ~8 months of use I am happy to report that it still runs fine. In fact, I accidentally dropped it into my koi pond w/ no major aftermath issues. Would still recommend this phone especially since the price has dropped even more. The camera quality is still the only drawback really worth noting so if that is important to you, you may want to look elsewhere.
It took me a long time to pull the trigger on this based upon how many bad review/problems were being reported even though the 2020 Motorola Edge checked a lot of boxes I was looking for: 5g, OLED, curved screen, zoom camera, wifi calling, stereo speakers. However, I needed a 5G phone as my Sony Xperia 1 coverage was getting worse as T-Mobile kept installing 5G towers in my area. Finally purchased one at ~40% off and so far it as not given me any issues after 2 months. The production date of my phone was 10/21 so perhaps only the early makes had problems.
At the reduced price, this was a very good deal. Not quite a flagship device but definitely high-end mid-ranger with decent specs and performance. The camera is so-so but the zoom & wide-angle need a lot of help.
Pros:
* Price – way over priced at the original $799 but the current discounts make it a great deal
* Screen – my last several were QHD but this FHD+ does not seem bad or any worse. Love the curved edges although that might not be for some as will affect how some things look. I do not play games or watch anything fast moving like sports so I see no advantage to the 90hz screen (my first phone to have more than 60hz).
* 3.5mm jack
* Included case – always appreciate this being included so that you have immediate coverage while you shop for others. It does block the charger some and you really have to press it in to work.
* Battery Life – lasts all day with average use
* 5G – Has a good 5G coverage with T-Mobile in my area
Cons:
* Updates – for their top tier phone, Motorola really should have given this 2 OS updates but it is stuck at Android 11. Still gets security updates tho at a rate that appears to be every other month
* Lack of cases – there are not a lot of cases available for this phone, especially if you are looking for one that does not cover the curved edges
* No wireless charging
So-So:
* Cameras – the cameras are OK. Turning on HDR and tapping to help focus takes better pictures. The zoom camera is a definite disappointment as is the wide-angle. Would have been nice if they had beauty mode on the back cameras and not just the front.
* OS/Bloatware – The My US OS Skin is pretty much stock android and what few additions there are, are mostly useful and/or non-obtrusive. There are some bloatware but all made by the manufacturer which I deem acceptable
* Color – It is called Solar Black but it is really a dark iridescent blue. When the light hits it in a certain way, there is rainbow across the back.
* Water Repellent: This is good enough for my lifestyle but at this price range an IP68 rating would have been nice
**Update**: After ~8 months of use I am happy to report that it still runs fine. In fact, I accidentally dropped it into my koi pond w/ no major aftermath issues. Would still recommend this phone especially since the price has dropped even more. The camera quality is still the only drawback really worth noting so if that is important to you, you may want to look elsewhere.

* Price – way over priced at the original $799 but the current discounts make it a great deal
* Screen – my last several were QHD but this FHD+ does not seem bad or any worse. Love the curved edges although that might not be for some as will affect how some things look. I do not play games or watch anything fast moving like sports so I see no advantage to the 90hz screen (my first phone to have more than 60hz).
* 3.5mm jack
* Included case – always appreciate this being included so that you have immediate coverage while you shop for others. It does block the charger some and you really have to press it in to work.
* Battery Life – lasts all day with average use
* 5G – Has a good 5G coverage with T-Mobile in my area
Cons:
* Updates – for their top tier phone, Motorola really should have given this 2 OS updates but it is stuck at Android 11. Still gets security updates tho at a rate that appears to be every other month
* Lack of cases – there are not a lot of cases available for this phone, especially if you are looking for one that does not cover the curved edges
* No wireless charging
So-So:
* Cameras – the cameras are OK. Turning on HDR and tapping to help focus takes better pictures. The zoom camera is a definite disappointment as is the wide-angle. Would have been nice if they had beauty mode on the back cameras and not just the front.
* OS/Bloatware – The My US OS Skin is pretty much stock android and what few additions there are, are mostly useful and/or non-obtrusive. There are some bloatware but all made by the manufacturer which I deem acceptable
* Color – It is called Solar Black but it is really a dark iridescent blue. When the light hits it in a certain way, there is rainbow across the back.
* Water Repellent: This is good enough for my lifestyle but at this price range an IP68 rating would have been nice

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente equipo
Color: Solar BlackSize: 256 GBVerified PurchaseCalificare al equipo una semana después de su compra, lo he estado usando toda esta semana y su desempeño ha Sido más que genial, creo que a si precio sigue siendo bastante bueno, la pantalla es excelente, el sonido, la fluidez. Tenía miedo que saliera con el defecto de la pantalla verde, pero hasta ahora todo ha Sido de maravilla. Lo tengo funciona con la red de telcel, mi chip lleva años no sé si por eso no me agarre la 5G. Volvería a comprar este equipo. Es bastante bueno

5.0 out of 5 stars Motorola 2021 Maravilla de equipo a excelente precio
Color: BlueSize: 256GBVerified PurchaseTomé el riesgo de comprar este equipo para cambiar mi iPhone 7 que tuve por casi 5 años y no me arrepiento. Tenía la duda si al ser un equipo desbloqueado iba a funcionar con las redes de México, ya que decía ser diseño exclusivo para operar en EE.UU. sin embargo, les garantizo que funciona perfecto con AT&T y Telcel.
Es un celular de gama alta a un excelente precio y si tú banco te lo permite, te brinda hasta meses sin intereses. Llegó mucho antes de lo esperando y muy bien empacado.
El diseño es único, delgado, elegante y con un acabado y brillo sin duda espectacular, que de no ser porque hasta el momento no encuentro funda transparente para el mismo, me he visto en la necesidad de ponerle una funda negra de la marca Spigen que le queda de maravilla. Obvio si vas a invertir en un celular como este, invierte también en una funda de calidad para el mismo.
Los 8 gigas de memoria ram hacen de este teléfono un un excelente equipo, se maneja muy fluido, las aplicaciones no se quedan pasmadas, reproduces vídeo en tiempo real, los retardos de carga de videos son casi inexistentes, en resumen una maravilla. Sus 256 gigas de memoria interna (no cuenta con ranura de expansión) nos brinda la suficiente capacidad de almacenamiento casi a la par con una laptop. Este equipo prácticamente podría ser considerado una tablet compacta por sus características particulares. La configuración y el personalizado de funciones y aplicaciones es bastante intuitivo. Su cámara de 108 mgpx nos permite tomar fotos precisas y con gran angular, también cuenta con varios efectos para la toma y retoque de la fotografía. La tasa de refresco de 144Hz de la pantalla, nos permite tener una excelente calidad de vídeo e imagen lo cual, para los gamers se agradece bastante ver todo el matiz de gráficos en alta calidad. La resolución de pantalla es FullHD+ de 2460 x 1080 pixeles. El procesador de esta belleza es un snapdragon 778G y la batería es de 5000mAh con carga rápida de 30 watts. La batería se carga de 0 a 100 en aproximadamente 40 a 45 minutos, proporcionando una carga de 0 a 50% en aproximadamente 20 minutos. La batería dura aproximadamente día y medio a dos si tiene un uso promedio de equipo celular, si lo ocupas para jugar e interactuar con redes sociales es posible que se vea decremento significativo en el desempeño de la misma. Por el uso de carga rápida el teléfono se calienta un poco durante la carga, por lo cual no es recomendable ni con este ni con ningún otro equipo, estarlo operando durante el tiempo de carga.
La caja contiene, el celular, cable tipo C para carga, cargador rápido de 30W, herramienta para expulsión de bandeja de SIM card y manual de usuario rápido y garantía. No contiene auriculares, o te compras unos con entrada tipo C o te compras un adaptador si cuentas con audífonos de entrada 3.5.
El único pero que le dejo a este equipo, de hecho son dos: uno, el altavoz del equipo deja mucho que desear al momento de querer escuchar música o conectarle los audífonos, no te ofrece una excelente calidad de sonido, creo que es lo que haría falta mejorar, el equipo a gritos pide dos bocinas con salida estéreo y lo segundo para mí, la parte trasera de color azul eléctrico y tan divino es el centro real de todas la huellas digitales habidas y por haber, se mancha hasta con sólo mirarlo, literal. Te la deberás pasar limpiandolo con una franela si como yo tienes manía por el brillo perfecto.
En resumen, una excelente compra, estoy 100% satisfecha con mi compra y sin duda lo recomiendo.
