Most people in this region concern about raw specs (be it camera, RAM, chipset, or storage) before buying phones, and with such price it's quite normal for complaining.

They are always one step ahead of the competition. Just got the Moto Z2 Force and can't believe hhow fast this is compared to my friend's S9 and that small battery is super optimized, getting 6 hours of screen on time with heavy usage every day.

                            This phone is theft in the form of a device. I hope people would stay away...

                              Motorola has fallen so low.

                                        How the heck can they stretch a device in size and at the same time dramatically reduce the size of the battery??
