Which to me is a better buy than the thinkphone because of qhd display. 300 usd for the redmi k60 is insane. It sucks how the international version is being sold for 150 dollars more when its the same phone.

    This phone has been on sale for under $400 for about 5 months now, soon to be 6. This phone is hands down the best phone on the market for the price, in the USA. The Xiaomi Poco F5 Pro is a close second and the Poco F5 third. I really think the review should be updated with the new price in mind.

    I just hope Motorola updates the phone like they promised. I've been using an old LG V35 since 2019 and once that took a poop on me, I went back to my Galaxy S5 with android 11 (lineage OS). One thing I noticed is how easy Samsung devices are to root/flash and how difficult the LG was to get rooted. Felt like I needed a degree in computer science for that phone lol. Hope the Motorola has a good community on XDA or I'll be bummed out.

          I hate these dumb phones that dont include a microSD slot..I hate this era of "renting" media. Glad I have old phones with sd slots 1tb, and store a ton of media on them.

T series are still the same bricks they have been, I'll agree they are not a 90s brick, but it's still a brick in laptop standards. Yeah, if you get an X1/X/Yoge/e series you can expect durability to be low on the list, but that's to be expected when they are not designed with that in mind.

                Thinkpads are not what they used to be, now they are yet another cheapo laptop that will break twice before an old school Thinkpad does.

                      What i dislike about Motorola now is their wifi on button. They've combined mobile data and the wifi toggle under internet. It's not even my phone, my mum uses a moto. Still pissed me off. Who would ever think of such a stupid idea

                            Hmm considering my previous Edge 20 broke way to easily prompting me to buy a Nokia XR20 for it's milspecness, & before this the closest thing would be a new Defy which won't be officially released here, but this one might.. Moto could just win me back

                              Does it have a curved screen? Very hard to discover on the images in the review... GSM-Arena would need to add "curved screen yes/no" in the phone specifications...
                              I really do not like curved screens and would not buy a curved screen phone again (for once Apple is on the right side).

                                You'll need those advanced additional security features since Motorola/Lenovo doesn't provide timely security updates or Android version updates. They are about the worst I have seen in terms of phone software support.

Now, reluctantly I have moved on One Plus 11 5G, the curve edge is so manageable and useable unlike those S6 Edge curve edge. It is a totally different experience now. So, I stopped judging the curve edges from S6 Edge experience because, the current curve-edge displays do not have those disadvantages from the earlier display tech.

I owned an S6 Edge so I can confidently say that curved screens are one of the dumbest things to ever be invented, right next to the foldables. I like actually using my smartphone thank you very much.

                                        [deleted post]Does your TV by any chance have a 6 inch screen? No? That's what I thought. It's for saving up screen space. do you wish for bezels that eat 15% of your phone to screen ratio or almost no bezels and curved phone for more screen overall. It's not that hard but some people have such dumb things they dislike it's unreal, it literally feels like you're American based on what you get annoyed by. Tvs are literally made for watching things at a higher size, a cinema at home. Your phone is not your tablet, laptop, pc or TV. It's your standalone mini computer for daily use for talking calling and maybe playing ads (with some games in them) and watching stuff on the go. That's the purpose. (or Apple phones which are actually there just to eat your money rather than send quality smartphones). Have a great day
