Great phone it really is, for the price, but no android 12 yet. It´s really embarrassing....When android 13 is already on it´s way.....
@motorola should take this seriously in consideration. My Moto G50 has it, also Moto edge 20 pro and G Pro....

Save yourself some frustration and go for other brand. I've had Huawei and no trouble at all, but then I switched to this model and when I experience sudden reboots once 1 or 2 days, the phone loses signal when I'm going out of my house, so I have to turn on and of plane mode, so it can reconnect to the network. If I connect the car's bluetooth freehands, when I turn it off, the audio doesn't come back to my bluetooth earphones. And that's only less than a month of use...

Why is Motorola / Lenova lagging with the update to android 12. So many phone is running Android 12 and soon it will be 13 and yet Motorola seems to stuck at 11. My edge20 lite is Android 11 and I don't even know if it is getting 12. That is why we should avoid some make of phone

This is the worst Motorola that I ever had. Camera is big disappointment for 108MP. Selfie camera is OK. Smart charging function is not working correctly. When I try to watch something from YouTube or Google photos is buffering to slow, and change quality on every 30sec. For browsing and social media is fine. I was expecting a MUCH more for phone from Edge series.

Just got this phone reduced for £250 in the UK. Whilst it certainly isn't worth the usual £300 asking price (8GB RAM version) at the lower price it really isn't bad. My only real gripe is Lenovo's dismal software support. It is still stuck on Android 11 in early May 22. At least it has been promised 2 major updates (eventually). The camera is ok but nothing special and general performance is speedy enough. That said this isn't a phone for gamers.

I have this phone for several weeks now; comfortably long enough to share my opinion.
The Motorola Edge 20 Lite in design in nothing groundbreaking, but it surely catches other people's attention, especially if you have the turquoise/green color version (like I do).
It's surprisingly slim, but a hand filler with its 6'7 inch OLED display.
Speaking of display, this one is truly pleasant, with really neat colors and contrast, sharpness, and the 90hz refresh makes animations and scrolling smooth. One things I didn't like was the max brightness - in the sun it's readable, but only barely; go below that and I have struggled to read anything.
The sounds is...surprisingly good for a mono speaker - it is loud, with noticeable bass, but slightly distorted. On the headphones, however, I was blown away with the loudness, bass, and overall quality. That was a pleasant surprise. Vibrations on this phone are hectic and unpleasant, though.
On the performance front - I'm not a gamer, so I use my Motorola for social media, video streaming, music, camera play, and just scrolling the Web. Nonetheless, I really liked with how quickly the apps opened and with how very little difficulty the phone operated with several apps opened. Nothing has ever crashed on me; only one animation jutter happened, but nothing major. The stock Android 11 experience has been positive for me, where previously I had smartphones with Android, but layered with the manufacturer's own UI on top. The Moto gestures are a nice addition and I have liked them in an instant.
Connectivity causes no reason to complain, however I was unable to test out the 5G here, as it is still limited. Phone conversations are clear and uninterrupted. NFC is present here as well.
On the battery front, the 5,000mAh battery is very much satisfying; as an example, I had the phone at 100% battery at 11 AM, used it with mostly LTE, lots of camera time, music, video streaming, some GPS, and after 6h 30 minutes of Screen on Time I still had 30%.
So 1,5 days of moderately heavy use is very much possible, and even longer if you don't use the phone too often. The 30 watt charger brings your phone battery reasonably quickly, with charging to full from 0% takes about 1h 15mins.
Cameras are very important for me in a smartphone, so I demanded a lot.
And I was not disappointed - the main camera is very competent in daylight, with lotta details and nice colors, if only a bit warm on the white balance. HDR does its job, albeit I've seen better; the shadows can still be a bit dark, but luckily the highlights aren't blown out.
Overall I am more than satisfied; the quality matches my expectations. Even the ultrawide camera, despite being only 8mpix, does a good job, with little distortion and close colors to the main cam. The details are lost, as expected, but my previous smartphone (Xiaomi Redmi 9) with the same mpix count UW camera, was just really bad. The plus side of this ultrawide camera is the autofocus, enabling us to make macro shots, which don't necessarily blow away, but are vivid and reasonably sharp (if you manage to focus on your subject accurately), certainly way better than the 2mpix you get in the price range.
In ambient light the Edge 20 Lite holds its own still, but in low light conditions, it isn't so fiery anymore, with noticeable grain and loss of detail; the ultrawide camera is barely usable at this point, as it does not have Night Mode.
Night Mode on the main cam improves some things with bumped up exposure and colors, but the less light you have, the more grain you'll get; with some light sources the photos look ok.
The videos are average, with stabilization only at the 1080p resolution, but it works quite well. The 4K is of course better in quality and color rendition, but no stabilization there.
The 32mpix selfie camera does a good job even indoors, but take notice - remove the Face Beautifying option off IMMEDIATELY - I did not do so at first and I was at first furious with the quality, only to realize I had to turn that option off to get good results. The colors are a bit too warm at times though, and sharpness can be lost if you are too far away from the camera.
The portrait mode on both the back and front cameras is competent, with accurate separation and nice colors, but with overexposed highlights.
Overall the selfies are great, but for 32mpix, I expected a slightly better performance.
Are there phones in this price range that are better? Of course, but that shouldn't dismay anyone from buying this great smartphone. If you want great battery life, a smooth experience, excellent music and capable cameras, the Motorola Edge 20 Lite should more than satisfy the average user.

However, if you're really into cams, pay a bit more and get something better than both. Otherwise, this phone seem to be the better one of the two.

I agree with past posters that this is a fine SMARTPHONE at a very reasonable price. Best part is its ability to operate over 5G systems at higher speeds (50GB/sec download), is DUAL SIM, and is vetted to operate on AT&T's network here in the United States.
Its UK capability using a MOBAL SIM on cruise ships thru Cellular at Sea is also a real plus. K
