David, 17 Apr 2024I was considering a Motorola but this years design is unbel... moreyep. u right. my edge+2020 has glass back, i dropped second day no case but anyway it is a sick design. wrap around display nearly all the way. still have stilll going strong. last year i had iphones for 3 years also. xr + 11 they dont know to create anything. flawless functionality in apple and my edge+ had some issues until all the old patches for droid 12 were in. motorola is bvad at u pdates and supporting devices for any serious amount of time. i bought the thinkphone in october last. this phone, is the last phone i will need. it outworks outplays outshines and a turkey feather would balance the scale. the aramid fibre back is nothing less than phenomenal. i have one cheap case. they dont have a selection at all anywhere for thinkphone. nobody figured it would sell only to a few suits, well at $400 knocked off ticket price its made everyone i talk to fall in love with them. feels better in the hand without a skin or case but then i wanted to dive in to the edge 50 once i saw specs since ive been motorla basically 10 yrs but damn it looks like, they all do, imho for years most of their phones looking like toys. save thinkphone. another version of this will suffice with snap8 g3. even my Nexus 6 & moto g 2014 looked more mature than these pieces of chalk.

Neither Samsung nor Apple would be as dominant as they are if the US didn't enact such mandates. We all saw what happened to Huawei. Granted they're a telecommunications company as well as a smartphone vendor so there's a grey area but still, they would've dominated and we all know it. They would've opened the doors for every Chinese manufacturer to work with US carriers.

Thats a bold claim. Define the west - Europe or US?
Chinese phones like xiaomi or Motorola are selling very well in Europe. US market is different because of protectionist measures - most Chinese phone vendors dont make phones for US so options are very limited, its basically couple of models from Motorola and 2 models from oneplus a year - end of the list.
When people say that apple is so dominant here - thats part if the reason - most android phones dont come to north America.

I really like seeing a higher PWM frequency on Motorola's OLEDs. The Edge+ 2023 was liked by users sensitive to PWM. Motorola seems to be making an effort to bring OLEDs to people who can't handle lower frequency PWM.
Also, having good cameras and decent hardware helps a lot too!

Bathrooms, Kitchens, furniture etc all painted. Even IKEA has removed most wood finish options. In fact I think it’s ONLY the developing nations that like this sort of thing and because hardly anyone buys Chinese phones in the West Motorola has aimed it at those markets with this design.

Hence the immense explosion of Mid-Century modern which incorporates a lot of wood and natural accents.
You must be from a "developing" country that's still obsessed with ultra-modern looks

The good part is almost vanilla Android ? but the really ugly is you never know when the phone gets updates think Lenovo is the same

I would buy this device if only it had an excellent ips LCD display panel instead of that cheap crapp-O-led technology that make u go blind due to constant micro-stuttering
Right now it's just hot e-waste that will end up in a landfill...

The one in the picture is clearly fake plasticky wood. can tell even in the low quality image.
Have they developed a machine that can cut the curves as skillfully as a woodworker can?
I would have applauded them if they had used real wood for the back panel like Motorola did back in the day.

I'm not a fan of the wood back, but it doesn't bother me as much as the sloped camera bump. I think that's a hideous design.

You can look up Twitter for some official specs and updates but the only things that are missing I wanted to know if anyone could tell me,
Horizon lock from the edge 40's & then if in any version of the 50 series is 8k video recording which was a good little Easter egg on the edge 30 fusion 888+ chip was like three years ahead of the rest and even today can still hold its own.
Wish I didn't lose it in Africa

Wow! I'm so impressed by the wood finish back cover and with the looks of the big camera design. I wander thou the performance of this device. The specs are high.
