Motorola Edge | 2022 | 2-Day Battery | Unlocked | Made for US 8/256GB | 50MP Camera | Mineral Gray

Better Than Reviews — Much Better At This Price!
Pay no attention to diss about build quality, camera, etc. This is a solid mid-ranger at a budget phone price. The Mediatek 1050 is snappy and powers true 5G UC on T-Mobile’s network. An iridescent matte finish PC case is robust and keeps the phone lightweight. Hard to believe it has a 5000 mAh battery that lasts long and charges at 30W. No power brick in package, only a USB C cable to make it easy to sync with another phone. Wireless charging at 5W. I love the pure-ish Android — no heavy UI bling to to rob the handset’s horsepower and bog things down. Three years OS support and four years of security support is welcome from Motorola. The 144Hz OLED display is brilliant. The camera is a real improvement from previous Motorola offerings, with a dedicated macro mode, ultra-slow motion video option, and decent low light performance. A real bonus over many other Motorola phones is NFC — a must-have for tap-to-pay.

Upgraded from a prepaid
I decided to upgrade my previous prepaid phone to this Motorola edge phone two months ago. I purchased it at a sale price. Wanted to wait a bit before writing a review, 4/15/23. I’m not sure how much my review would help those that didn’t have downgraded features previously.With the upgrade I’ve gained some features I didn’t have before and overall better hardware. The camera, ram, and memory (no SD slot) alone has all been major improvements for me. I do like the bed time mode that turns my screen black and white at night to help with eye strain. It’s lightweight. I’m happy to have nfc feature back as well as the finger print. I’ve had both these features on other prepaid phones, just not my last one. I enjoy having a wireless charging option that I didn’t have before. There’s way more software features I’m impressed with, preventing battery overcharge, gestures (I don’t use majority of these), pull down tiles, conversations, split screen, to name a few that I didn’t have before.The battery life is okay. Definitely not two days worth. Initially the battery lasted me the entire day with normal usage and pull from constantly finding signal while I was at work and still had a fairly significant battery percentage when I went to bed. My previous phone’s battery drained enough I had to recharge it during lunch and going home. The Motorola edge battery still lasts me all day with a full charge but at a significant less percentage when I unwind at night that I have to charge it and limit my usage. My days off though the battery survives the entire day.I connected the Bluetooth to my vehicle for music. I noticed on a fairly regularly basis I have to disconnect the Bluetooth and reconnect it again to get a smooth stream in music and avoiding the skipping between beats like an old CD player. It’s annoying enough I don’t want to bother at times and turn to the radio.I attempted to setup my Bluetooth wireless keyboard to this phone multiple times. It’ll pair without an issue. Whenever I type, the phone doesn’t recognize majority of the keys. The keys it does register changes letters to numbers. I know it’s not the keyboard itself because I have connected it to other smart phones and an ipad without any issue.It has the capability to change different app volume levels while keeping your main media volume at 100. Facebook media level can be at 50%, YouTube at 75%, chrome 30%, etc. I had this on my previous phone so I’m familiar with how it works. I can’t seem to change the apps to a different level without changing my main media volume level. Kinda annoying there.Wish it had the battery life it claims it has and Bluetooth technology didn’t seem shoty at best for what I’ve used it for. Overall I’m happy with the phone.

Funciona bien para redes en México (Telcel), la batería tiene buena duración y no se calienta en exceso, es bastante fluido y está muy completo para ser un equipo a no muy alto costo.Único detalle, a veces se nota una sombra morada en los colores negros, desconozco si es un detalle del equipo o la actualización, pero no es molesto, a penas se nota, no interrumpe nada que se esté visualizando, es únicamente al deslizar, muy leve.

Si no se calentara tanto, sería un excelente teléfono, ligero, la pantalla es genial, sensor de huellas muy rápido y preciso, rendimiento bastante aceptable (casi se acerca al rendimiento del Poco X3 Pro), el único pero que le pongo es que se calienta mucho al utilizarlo con datos móviles, casi al 100 de señal 5G, y más considerando que no lo uso para jugar, sólo para trabajo (a los 15 minutos de uso continuo, comienza a ser incómodo tenerlo en la mano), de igual manera al usarlo con Android Auto en un viaje largo, es necesario ponerlo en la ventila del aire acondicionado para que no se caliente en extremo. En cuanto a rendimiento es muy bueno, solamente que, por alguna razón, tarda mucho en adjuntar archivos en WhatsApp y en hacer copias de seguridad, supongo que eso tiene que ver con la optimización del sistema ya que la velocidad de mi conexión es de más de 90 megas (medida en este mismo equipo). Comparando con el Poco X3 Pro, las fotos son buenísimas, el modo Night Vision es muy bueno para tomar fotos de noche y lo mejor es que cuando detecta poca luz, te sugiere usarlo. Pongo 3 estrellas porque a mí parecer, la temperatura que alcanza con un uso medio (aplicaciones de mensajería sobre todo), hace que se vuelva muy incómodo tenerlo en la mano.
