Some of the best android phones, especially for the price. They seem to last forever and have good non-bloated software + unique features like shake for flashlight (why don’t other OEMS have this?). Only complaints I have are some lack of custom ROM support and sometimes wear over time. But for the price they are almost unbeatable.

I’m not a person who’d be loyal to a brand. Yet Motorola consistently produces devices that turn out to be the best trade-offs (price to functionality) for me. And, so far, all these devices were pretty durable as well, though it’s not that I really put smartphones into lots of use. That’s all I can say.

I use a Moto G50 5G, my wife use a Moto e32s and most of folks in my work use some kind of Motorola phone. My work phone is also a cheaper Motorola. No dead pixels, charging time is fine, build quality is good. Updates could be pushed more often for the OS. IMO Moto phones are good budget devices, but I don’t see where is the money flowing when buying flagship one. Like the Law of Diminishing Returns is cranked up to 110 for this company.

@MargotRobbie Used to be decent value, but they’ve made a mess of it with far too many very similar models with pointless specs like 2-5mp macro lenses and such, also their update policy is abysmal, my motorola G4 play got left to rot lol. Not the only manufacturer guilty of this of course.

I also think they should bring Ready For to as many devices in their lineup as they can. It’s an interesting differentiator.

I loved my nexus 6 back in the day (which I believe was made by Motorola). I miss it sometimes today.

That’s neat by the way: using the edge part of the screen as trigger buttons for Citra.

Took a leap with the Motorola RAZR 5g in 2021. Liked the features and the UI was decent, very similar to a Google pixel with a few extras.

Bluetooth sucked and had issues with the phone being picky with its USB C cable.

Worst part…with only 9 months with the phone the foldable screen started to fail, shortly completely unusable.

The screen is conveniently not covered in the one year warranty.

Phone cost me $600 brand new from T-Mobile. Repairs with Motorola would be $900!

Contacted them through Twitter and ultimately they tried to give me a %15 discount lol

Never again with them

I wish they would support their software updates more frequently and for longer.

Feature updates for at least 3 years, security updates for 5.

I’ve avoided them for their lack of update policy.

Here in the US, Motorola phones are some of the best bang for the buck in a market missing many of the low cost Chinese brands. My last phone and current phone are both Motorolas, and I’d recommend them from the $120-$400 price ranges.

Motorola mobility(the one that makes phones) has been sold to Lenovo(chinese company). Their recent phones range from great value for money to mediocre. Their moto g32 was(and still is) great value for money

Snapdragon 680(6nm), 90hz screen, water repellent design, fm radio, 5000 mah battery, 30w charging, 85% screen to body ratio, headphone jack. All that for 160€ which is basically as cheap as you can get(a decent phone).

For me, their main feature is the flashlight shake, that allows you to turn on the flashlight just by doing a shake motion(no need to go into menus and stuff).

I had a couple of Motorola phones back in the day. Most recently I had a Moto Z2 Force, which had a shatterproof screen. I really liked that because around then I had my first kid and kids cause accidents all the time. LOL

Honestly, outside of the US I don’t really see why you would consider them over Xiaomi or other chinese brands (yes I know who owns Moto, sush). While their OS is cleaner, it is also much less supported

Great budget devices, if you’re in the market for a mid range android I think you can’t to wrong with moto

Had a Motorola phone since the very first droid. Loved the clean interface and lack of bloat. Picked up a pixel 6 a year ago and never looked back. It’s everything I like about Motorola but with a better camera and better OS updates.

I think Motorola is definitly trending upwards and I am really considering them for future purchases. I think after the boring mediocraty they had going on from 2017-2021 they finally got back on track with the edge series.

I also have heard a lot of good things about their ready-for Desktop mode, which for me is a feature every modern phone should have!

I had a Moto X Style (Moto X Pure, Moto X 3rd gen) and moto x4. I still have the latter.

The X Style had a 1440p screen, rubber back, dual front-facing speakers and infrared motion sensors on the front so that you would wave your hand over the phone to wake the screen to quickly glance the time or your notifications. It also had always-on Moto voice assistant and allowed you to set custom voice activation prompts. I had mine set to “Ok Jarvis”.

Unfortunately the display it had was extremely unreliable and faced horrible ghost touches. I got it replaced twice and both replacements ended up having the same issue after a while.

I switched to a different phone after the X Style, and then once that phone died I got the x4.

The x4 is very bare-bones in comparison, but it’s the first phone that hasn’t died on me/been killed by me. Nearly 4 years later it still carries on, despite some yellowing on the edges of the screen.

I’m on a Pixel 6a now. I miss the Moto quick gestures, especially “double chop” for flashlight.
