I bought this phone a few days ago and I am happy so far.
I will list the pros and cons.
+ Software. Clean android with some nice features and gestures. Third party launchers works well and so does gesture navigation with those launchers. I like the Motorola clock/weather widget.
+ 125W USB Power Delivery charger.
+ 50W wireless charging.
+ Dual stereo Dolby tuned speakers . The sound that is coming out from these speakers just sound so great.
+ The included case is nice (but a fingerprint magnet).
+ 12 GB ram (at least in EU and USA it seems to be the only option).
+ Anti flicker mode for those that are sensitive to PWM. I haven't felt the need to use it.
+ 144Hz Display. If you have the refresh rate set to auto in settings it can be laggy sometimes since the refresh rate drops.
+ Under display fingerprint reader is fast. Probably doesn't work if finger is wet.
+ USB Type-C 3.1, USB On-The-Go, DisplayPort 1.4
+ Ready for features. https://www.motorola.com/us/ready-for/p
+ Bootloader can be unlocked, root is possible, kernel will be open source so there is a possibility of custom roms if this phone becomes popular. But I really like the Software on the Motorola so I don't see much need for a custom rom.
- Curved screen. Will be pain in the ass to find a good screen protector for this phone, might skip that and buy a wallet case instead to protect the phone while outside.
- Budget display. POLED, FHD res only. I find the display ok, text is looking fine even tho its below 400 ppi.
- 200 mp camera is a gimmick but the pictures taken in daylight looks fine, haven't had time to test the camera more. There is also a Telephoto camera which is nice.
Battery time seems good. Haven't measured screen on time yet.
In my country Motorola is giving a "Lenovo Smart Clock 2 with Charging Station" with selected phones including Edge 30 Ultra but only until stock lats. Will see if I am lucky to get one. I was debating whether to get this one or Xiaomi 12T Pro and I picked Motorola even tho I am not fan of curved screens but I just think that Motorola is more interesting.
Xiaomi 12T Pro advantages: Flat screen, eSIM, better display with higher resolution, more likely to have custom roms.
Disadvantages: Software (MIUI is ugh), USB 2.0, worse camera setup.

DMX, 08 Oct 2022All high-end Android phones have AOD, especially Motorola, ... moreI don't think it has has one by default.
I don't see it in settings and I found a YouTube video how to enable it but on the video they downloaded an app from the play store to make it work.

Regarding support, although it is true that they have been improving that section, they are not yet up to the standards of others, such as Samsung, the same Google with the pixels and so on, this device has 3 years of guaranteed major updates and 4 years of security patches, however, announcing it is not the same as fully complying with it!!! Other than that, it's an excellent device.

A few queries:
- Does this device has AOD (Always On Display)
- How often Motorola updates its high end devices? Once a month?
- How soon they roll out new Android OS version?
I'm thinking of either this or 12T pro for my spouse.

I purchased this phone and tried video calling on WhatsApp (the latest version). I have 100MBPS wifi speed still the video quality is terrible in front and rear cameras. Is anyone else facing this issue? My previous phone had much better quality in the same room and connection (Rog 2).

I think you will be the winner, as a former user of a pixel 6 pro I do not see the point of buying the 7 pro since it is almost the same! maybe for the 8 pro google decides to leave samsung aside and put the batteries

I am honestly disapointed about this phone. I tought that the 200 mp camera will be something different, having a lot of detail when you took photo with the high res (200 mp mode). But the reality is that my old phone (LG Wing) captures better detailes with the high res (64 mp mode), despite having less than 1/3 of the mp of the motorola.
Other than this, the phone happens to freeze when i change apps, and the battery isn't great. The charging, even it is 125 w, is charges slower than my moms xioami 11t, which has 66 w.
Takes these things into consideration, i will be returning the phone, and i will probably buy an s22 ultra.

Anonymous, 01 Oct 2022If Google buys back MotorolaI don´t think so.....and quite honestly, not sure if I would like. They can´t even care about their pixel phones let alone others.
They should have stuck with Motorola. I think Lenovo is doing things well, they just need to improve support , extend more updates to the G line series.
Perhaps partner up with some photo brand to improve their image processing.

Anonymous, 29 Sep 2022Do you take your phone swimming?At least with Moto you know you should not use this phone under water. Others may say that you can submerge then if you damage the internals, they won´t be responsible for that under warranty.
