    If you want a buggy phone with no updates buy a Motorola

      @ Team GSMArena, the display resolution given the device information (1256x2760) page appears to be incorrect. Motorola UK website specifies the resolution to be 1220x2670 at 460ppi. And even that might be incorrect. The TENAA certification had the resolution as 1200x2670 which is close to 20:9 (whereas 1220x2670 calculates to 19.7:9). Also with 1220 pixels at 460ppi, the display would be wide enough to necessitate an 'edge' screen, whereas it appears that the device is nearly flat.

      I'd request @Team GSMArena to check the resolution from the device itself and update the information page.

        IpsDisplay, 01 Sep 2024Alright so you're used all your brain power to explain... moreIDK how to explain that to you

          Anonymous, 01 Sep 2024Vegan leather feels like actual leather and hence it looks ... moreAlright so you're used all your brain power to explain

          "Why vegan leather looks premium"

          My comment did this

          -Point out the irony of plastic that is usually ridiculed for cheap feel is the same material that is getting praised for a premium feel

          The definition of irony:

          the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, contrary to what one expects..

          Now I did this without being toxic and calling you a clown...

          Now See if you can try and have a discussion with presenting your points

              It's definitely better looking than regular plastic

                But I think you don't understand when they say premium feel there is no way in hell they are using it as some means to tell us about the actual quality of the material

                It's the same superficial impression in both scenarios

To them chip Quad A78 + quad A55 should be on phones below $300 just because xiaomi, vivo and oppo sacrifice rest of phone in favor of 8sg3, D9200 etc ..

                      Obviously, India will be getting it for less than $400, I bet

                          They're talking about the "feel" upon touching and not the actual quality of the material. Of course both are plastic

                            What a beautiful device!!

                            Motorola did an amazing thing partnering with Pantone, best and most vibrant phones on the market currently. I want it just by looking at the pictures. Might just order it right now with the excellent pre-order offer.

                              When hard plastic is used

                              "Feel cheap, doesn't feel premium"

                              When vegan leather is used AKA plastic.. (most of the time it is just plastic)

                              "Texture is lovely to touch"

                              Ahhh the sweet irony

                                  Very close too 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition used on Edge 50 (599€ in my country when Neo costs 499€) and on Honor 90

                                  Note : 3DMark rendering is offscreen, all devices uses the same pixelcount

                                  With a far better efficiency.
                                  Both with 5000mAh battery, CMF with 7300 provides nearly 60% better battery life than Honor 90 with 7 Gen 1 on gsmarena's battery test (16h13 vs 10h28)...of course powerconsumption isn't only linked to soc and battery

Also, I doubt D7300 performs that bad. Most people bashing Mediatek are the usual just fanboys of Qualcomm, nothing new.

                                      "But in person, it doesn't feel like a small phone"

                                      Because it is not a small phone 😺 just slightly smaller in comparison to other phones

                                        There's some good specs here like the telephoto and the LTPO. The price here is £400 so that puts it in competition with the Nothing 2a Plus.

                                        I guess it all depends on what you want when buying a smartphone. I can rant on and be negative but I guess this is what the smartphone market has turned into.

                                        However if you spend £100 more you can get a Oneplus 12r on Amazon right now and give it a couple of months the Oneplus 13 will launch and will reduce the price even further.

                                        Is the 7300 really that much of a bad chip? Look forward to see the battery life once the review has been published.
