Motorola's policy ,now promised 5 android updates only for edge 50 neo costs 400 euro .
This has to be a joke, what happens to the higher price models, pro, fusion and ultra?

So what are simple people think about quality ,support etc of G series with this policy ?

    Quality is different thing than specification or support .For the price sold G45 maybe is better than G85 in practice .Who cares about type of screen if looks better than a low end Poled etc

    For Samsung ...
    With last software update Samsung fix many camera bugs in A35. Even in cheap A15 5G mentioned in other post ,night shot now is far better .
    Motorola rare offer software update to fix bugs ,usually did that for higher price devices .

          The G45 has TFT Panel compared to POLED, Has lower ram, storage, cameras, quality build, also has Gorilla glass 3 compared to 5, has no water resistance, and has slower charging. So you can deduce what that "half price" is worth.

          Samsung offers 5 years of updates - but people often forget that Samsung is not obligated to give you every single feature the flagship phones are getting in the A series updates.
          Also those 5 years of updates have still not fixed any of my complaints with the A35 camera especially in low light performance.

          G85 vs the edge series is not a fair comparison. Edge series is considered "flagship" in Moto's lineup and G series is their regular line.
          G85 is upper mid range, Edge 50 fusion is considered "budget flagship". You can tell by the amount of OS updates promised for the Edge series compared to the G series.

            Phoenix175, 31 Aug 2024I want to buy indian variant. Does it have green line issue... moreI'm in the middle-east but generally Indian variants make it to our region (such as the Galaxy F and M series that are exclusive to India).
            Motorola G series has no such green line issue here. Thousands upon thousands sold. Not one was reported to have green line issue.
            If this was as common as some of these comments claim it to be, we'd be notified of that issue. I work in a Mobile distributing vendor which also provides warranty for many of the phones we import in this region. Not a single "green line" issue reported.

                        Motorola's quality control is bad .Maybe use cheaper materials for some production.
                        Green line issue in screen ,were in many 2023 Gxx series devices . Warranty unfortunately not recognized that issue in most .Something about no official issue by Motorola to fix.

                          Don't buy this period.!
                          There is a green line issue available here right now affer some use, time to time.

                          There is not a bad batch,as also happened in others too.

                          Motorola please solved this hardware problem, then make new design a lot.

                          Service or warranty can help any more about that..My device replaced ,but still the issue..

                          Camera also had a bug in night shot. Looks like fake colors ,tone the orange color a lot .Also happened in daily shots.
                          Sky at night shot is very black even with clouds. No found gcam help this.

                            So what about comparison Edge 50 Fusion vs G85 in you area or other G series for the price point ?

                            What about new G45 with a half price ?

                              Just because YOU and YOUR region don't have a good price for this phone it doesn't make sense?
                              Here in MY Middle-east region and INDIAN region the phone excels at it's price range.

                              Samsung A35 costs around 400 bucks compared to G85 being 200 bucks.
                              How do you compare the 2? A35 has horrible low light performance, compared to G85. Galaxy A55 is amazing yes, but it also costs around 500 bucks in my region. And you think that justifies someone choosing it over the G85? Also in MY region, the G85 comes with 256gb storage and 12gb ram, whereas the A35 comes with 8gb ram and 128 gb storage. G85 also comes with a case and charger, A35 comes with NOTHING. So yeah I would prefer the G85 over the A35 or the A15 in MY region. You are entitled to choose what suits YOUR region.

                                  Motorola's fail ..
                                  The new Moto G45 is similar ,without the marketing package like OIS camera ,Amoled screen etc . It's cheaper ,half price .

                                    If found similar price go buy Edge 50 fusion .
                                    Better software support ,total luxury feeling, better processor included etc.

                                      Device first release was for basic Indian market ,not European market .

                                      This device is like the best of the worst this period compared other brands basic devices.
                                      It's a very good phone for ladies or basic contract services, but it's not made for gaming or camera shots.

                                      For camera , some reports mentioned use the new Sony sensor LYT-600 , but not optimized as Edge 50 Fusion by lens setup . So photo results is so so ,and bad for night shot. Maybe a proper Gcam fix lack of the camera

                                      Some pros and cons mentioned ...

                                      Pros : Bright, curved display ,Reliable day-to-day use, ,Good primary camera,Long battery life, quick charging

                                      Cons : Bloatware ,Notification spam ,gaming performance ,Subpar ultra-wide angle camera,Lower performance in benchmark tests .

                                      Conclusion G85 is not Value for money .
                                      Edge 50 fusion starts from 294 euro in Germany/France for 8/256 version
                                      G85 starts from 281 euro for 12/256 version .

                                        magnaroader, 27 Aug 2024I don't know which phone you got, but I own this phone... moreMaybe you like your choice ...but G85 quality is no sense for the price sold in EU ,also as previous G84 witch have many bugs ,plus G85 has the same Soc power with other name. .

                                        Motorola marketing looks like intends to sale this year same devices as previous ,with just with better software support . So G85 exist for sales to poor market as choice, not able buy better edge series.

                                        Reports for this year Εdge series are to have some bloatware too ,maybe for software cost mentioned in forum .

                                        For your opinion "Low light shots come out natural and not smudged like Samsungs A series ? " ...for your info ..

                                        With last August software update ,even the cheap Samsung A15 5G the night shot is clear ,of course not same quality as upper models .

                                        Finally Motorola promises software updates usually not for fixes like Samsung.
                                        You can not be sure for time release , Motorola usually security updates available every 2 months ,but not for all models regular too .
