I was a diehard Moto fan for many years. Decent phones at a good price. You didn't have to spend a fortune on what I basically use to make calls and check emails. My last was the X4. Perfect size for me, never had any issues. Now Moto refuses to bring even a six inch phone to the USA, except for the Razor at a grand. So I bit the bullet and had to purchase a OnePlus N20 5g. I waited long past due for them to release something in the US but nope, they just kept getting bigger and more expensive. And I know from reading other comments I am not the only one looking for a mid size phone you can handle with one hand and put in your pocket or in a belt pack that's not so huge. Wake up Moto, everyone does not want a six and a half to seven inch cell phone.

    I have Moto g51, which is a 5g handset. And even this 5g device has been ruled out of the Android 13 update. It's pretty much a scam that you make people purchase your product for being future proof. But then also take away the necessary elements of your product (i.e, OS Update).

        Motorola offers exclusive models in the US? That's interesting. We seem to miss all their best stuff.

        I would pay good money for the X30 Special Edition if it were sold here. I hate camera cutouts, and would sooner have either larger bezels again, or even no front camera at all (I barely ever use it). What about the newest X or Edge family device with the really high-end camera? Oh yeah, we didn't get that one either. Both of these devices very inexpensively from my perspective, but in India, China, and other Asian markets. RAZR 2022? Forget it. That's not in North America, either.

                    Anonymous, 30 Dec 2022Same quality? You cant be serious... Intel, Samsung S... moreMan yes same quality all comes from china the basic raw materials used are usualy same.
                    Durability is same.
                    Zac Nelson aka Jerryrigeverything proven many times on bend tests or scratch tests the phones are litterary equal.

                      Intel, Samsung Semicon and TSMC are at the level today any chinese semicon is gonna take more than 15 years to reach, if they get there.
                      TSMC is huge reason the island is always in alert. Nationalizing TSMC would be first act.

                        Using Motorola G100 now currently... The only grip I have are still on android 12 n no more security update.. Other than that, the phone is fine and I can see using it for at least 2 more years...

                          I have owned a Motorola G7 for several years now and it has always worked flawlessly. Now I am ready for an upgrade but all the G phones still do not have stereo speakers and I refused to consider the Edge since I gave one to my wife when they first came out and the screen was defective, Motorola would not take it back and it replaced it with a refurbished one which had the same problem. after a year she threw it on the floor and that was the end of Motorola for her. Bottom line, will only consider another G model if it comes with stereo speakers and snapdragon processor, in the mean time I continue to enjoy my G-7

                            Raffel, 29 Dec 2022Moto G series are definitely winners not losers. They do of... moreExactly. Love the fact that you can get OLED for about 150 dollars/euros (g31 and g42). Only thing I miss is the smaller size. At the moment I'm using a realme which is good but UI is quite heavily modified, no FM radio, and no OLED. And its about 3 cm too "long", it literally wont fit in some of my pockets 😀

                              There are none present in the market like other phones. I am struggling to get Edge 30 accessories in the market. The phone is awesome.

                                      Dont get me wrong.
                                      Apple Ipads bends pretty nicely for what they cost and thats an american brand and device with a pricetag of 1200 or more depends on configuration.
                                      Proven by Zac Nelson aka Jerryrigeverything.

                                      Rest is as you said but there is always some Jerrrig everything who proves most components phones and brands are very fragile on a bend test or screen durability test.
                                      Boe, LG, Apple, Samsung etc. it does not matter durability is the same.
                                      Price not.
                                      Paying more for having same thing like paying less makes no sense.
