        Battery life is just amazing. Charged the other day from 27% to 100% in just 21 minutes. Left on overnight. At 8am phone was 95%. Play with the phone watching YouTube about 3h at 2.30pm it's still 70% left. Well that's what I mean by good power management:)
        Camera is good but my Pixel 6 Pro take better shots especially x16 zoom. Very nice phone and it's the closest to pixel 6 Pro phone u can get+ some more useful features

          So, this phone has 200MP + 50MP + 12MP.
          But motorola website says only the 200MP camera has 4K recording.

          LOL !!

            Why not to add "moon test zoom" in every smartphone review?

              Can't wait for the full review!
              Motorola might be back on course. Until 2014 I used motorola and LG phones :)
              Bright times might be back with good outcome review.

You must enable this option in the settings though as it is switched off by default

                          NoBot, 12 Sep 2022Finally Moto is back with a serious phone! Unfortunately, ... moreYou're not the only one that prefers flat displays BUT these phones are targeted at Asian emerging markets like India, South East Asia, China etc. where these phones are positioned as flagships or upper mid range phones, and people like the show-off factor of a curved display here as something that the coveted iPhone doesn't have but their android flagship does have. The iPhone 13 is at least $150 more than the Moto Edge 30 Ultra and the 14 is $400 more here.

                          P.S. I prefer flat displays.

                            Darknoor, 13 Sep 2022It never stops to amuse me how delusional people can get. ... moreThe problem with the "Internet People" today is that they think the demand is something that someone would ask about it in the comment sections.

                              Wait a second, GSMArena said this phone can take both 50 MP shots and 12.5 MP shots during light condition. Here I see only the 12.5 MP shots, and the full 200 MP shots. So there is no 50 MP mode after all, I am curious?

                                You just said if people made enough demand, a manufacturer will comply.
                                And now you are talking about sales as the main factor, despite almost everyone wanting these features back.
                                I am done with you mr troll. Have a nice day.

                                  Darknoor, 13 Sep 2022Yah that is why apple returned the 3.5mm port and switched ... moreHow many people do you know who didn't buy iPhone just because it didn't have a 3.5mm Jack? I am not talking about raging things out on social media. If Apple's sales took a hit, they would have been forced to bring the jack back. Because then we would have played a real Ace, you know.

                                      Chucker, 12 Sep 2022@aierlan You write that I can activate the 50 MP photos in... moreHi. You can enable the option for the software to automatically choose the resolution and when the camera is in automatic mode. Then in auto mode the camera will either choose 50mp photos or 12mp photos depending on the ambient lighting. It will usually only choose 50mp ones outdoors in good lighting. Unfortunately though you can't manually decide whether to shoot in 50mp or 12mp mode (at least in automatic mode). The camera software decides for you if you enable this option. I tried it in a couple of stores in China. It was not enabled by default on the store models so had to be turned on. I found the option whilst messing around with the phone but I can't remember exact;u where it was but I think it was one of the following. When in auto mode (photo mode) there is a little horizontal line at the top of top of the screen under the aspect ratio. If you click on that it will give you options for things like aspect ratio, active photos, auto HDR and other options. It might have been there. Otherwise if not, click on the settings wheel on the top right corner whilst in photo mode and it should be somewhere there.

                                        Darknoor, 12 Sep 2022Pnly a handful of models do that, and they are ususally sup... moreThat is not how businesses work. We are the consumers. Have some attitude for that. You don't believe me? Search for Nokia 808 Pureview in GSMARENA itself and see for yourself what could have been the evolution taking those samples into consideration and where we are right now. It is we who aren't asking for those level of qualities that makes those companies comfortable. Start demanding the right results, they have to act accordingly.
