Anyways, THANKS AGAIN.

[@Deathshack]

I'm a loyal Motorola customer only because of the fact that they give you so much bang for your buck when it comes to features per price point. Another thing is Motorola cares more about software stability which is why they hold back on pushing updates until they know it will 100 work on their custom UI/Gestures

How's the software? I have OnePlus but i hate because of their buggy software, and i am worried Motorola will be the same

[@patjp741]

Hi. I love that you went over some case options for the phone. I had the Edge + and I found that the curved display was problematic to protect. I broke two of them, gave up, and got the flat Edge + 2022 (with no zoom cam). I like the phone but I miss the zoom aspect. The digital zoom works OK but I'd love a portrait zoom. Also, i have a small suggestion: Please talk about phone touch haptics in your reviews. Great review overall and thank you for sharing.

[@securitybase3430]

Poetic Phone Cases has the best protection in the industry for these Motorola phones hands down. Also Ondigo makes the best tempered glass products for the edge plus 2023.

Ya...I would also like to know.. Would definitely pick one up if it's supported 👊🏼

[@SpencerTaylorOnline]

This is an extremely helpful review. Thank you! I'm picking one up for BF for $600, which looks unbeatable to me with the Edge+'s features.

[@yadspi]

Almost bought it too but the 2022 model was $300 and the 2023 model is not $300 better so save myself some bucks.

[@SpencerTaylorOnline]

The 22 model is close to $400 on Amazon. There's the Edge and the Edge+, which is really confusing. The 22 model of the Edge+ does not have water protection, to the best of my knowledge. The 23 is IP68 rated, which is as good as it gets for phones. The 22 Edge+ also uses the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 chip, which is loathed by many. It's terrible at power saving, so it eats through battery life. It also significantly throttles performance after a very short time. The 8 gen 2 in the 23 Edge+ is much better, and universally praised for performance and battery life. So, for me, it's worth the $600 for a flagship level phone, and I intend to keep it for 2 years, maybe longer.

[@justmy2cents_]

Honestly I love my 2022 stylus 5G & the emerald green color it has,love the 4 camera set-up also! It works great but after the latest update I've noticed some lag & performance issues! Why does that happen especially with it being the latest & greatest software update!

[@thomaskurek3524]

It happening to me and many family members after update, the phones were useless. Sometimes I think Motorola do this for some kind of purpose so we go and buy new phone. That’s the only thing that discourage me from buying Motorola.

[@silentwarrior3376859]

Thank you for the review great video! You pretty much answered the question I was going to ask. I have had two Motorola phones over the past couple years I love them the only issue that I've had with them is the audio. the loudness of the speakers is ridiculously low I sometimes have to put my headphones on to hear. Granted I am old so my hearing isn't what it used to be. 😂 But it is quite annoying. The other thing about the audio is every time I get a notification it lessens the sound but instead of coming back on when the notification is done it stays at that lower volume so I literally have to put my phone on do not disturb when I watch a video. Any issues like that?

[@Cloud121D]

I have already decided this will my annual phone upgrade nezt year when I can (hopefully) get it for $400. I don't like paying more than $350 - $400 for a phone, as I like to get a new phone every year, and have it come out to essentially $1 dollar a day (that's how I look at most of my expensive purchases. I want a $1 a day of use. So if I say want to modify my car, update my house, buy a new phone, TV, etc. I always calculate how long I will need to own it in order to get $1 a day, since it will be something I will be using everyday). The formula doesn't apply to VERY expensive purchases (cars, homes, etc.) but you get my point. Replaced my beloved LG Velvet + Dual Screen with the Moto Edge 2022 this week, and I am now a Motorola guy (previously had a Moto Photon Q back in 2012 before my HTC M7 in 2013) after first HTC and then LG. RIP HTC (USA market) and LG. 😢😢😢
