Utm77, 19 May 2023Nice midranger, except curved screen and the lack of AODI prefer Motorolas solution of AOD than what is normally is.

-Shos data, time, battery, notifications and when tabbing on it you can also open the app, read the notification (if not a message from a person), but also change music tracks in it.

It is active for 3 secounds after moving the phone, lr after you stopped using it.

If the phone moves repeatedly in the same way (like walking in your pocket), the screen won't turn on. Which saves battery and makes it only active while you actually need it.

Why would I want my screen to be active while it is in my Pocket as well, I just don't get the purpose of a screen that is on All the time.

Otherwise, don't like the curves either.

      My X7 Max (w/ D1200) also scored 1240/3370 in GB6 in HP mode!
      I don't know why they didn't simply put a D1300 or D8100 instead?!

        When the D8020 < D8000🤦🏻‍♂️ !!

        Idk what has happened to MTK's naming division lately, they seem to have been inspired by these Chinese OEMs on just rebranding & renaming without any care for product position within the existing nomenclature!
        I mean just how many times would they rename the same chip–D900/D920/D930/D1080 for example?
        And then they had that one-off US exclusive D1050 which may actually be on par with the D1200/D1300 (again a rebrand just for higher MPx support), in terms of GPU!

            "The Edge 40 put up a solid performance in GeekBench, posting notably higher results than that Poco X3 GT..."

            It's no surprise how buggy MIUI for Poco can be despite multiple updates. By contrast, Motorola's stock AOSP UI doesn't consume as much memory as MIUI for Poco. You really don't have to go far to see how vastly improved Xiaomi phone's performance when using custom ROM with stock AOSP UI. It's a completely night and day experience.

              wrong information added about wired "ready gor" connectivity with monitor/tv.
              Its usb 2.0 device, even official poster mentioned only about wireless connectivity.

                Anton-, 18 May 2023What is Lenovo playing by offering phones of almost 1000 do... moreWhat do you mean close to $1000? The official price if buying direct from Motorola in Europe is €599 ($645) for 8gb 256gb. Europe is the most expensive market for phones so if launched in other markets it would likely be cheaper than that

                  Fusion is still better, don't know why Motorola decided to release this phone.

                    It looks good on paper, but the poor colour accuracy of the display, ordinary standby time and ordinary camera are turn-offs. Motorola is also slow with security patches and major Android updates.

                          Please stop producing this awful edge display. The worst trend of last years.

                            Edge 30 Fusion is a better option in this moment.
                            Other than that, very nice phone.
                            If you want it, just wait for a couple of months.
                            Price will go down dramatically.

                              What is Lenovo playing by offering phones of almost 1000 dollars with only 8 ram??
