I do NOT recommend buying a mobile immediately after release (maybe only Sam or iPho) if you do not want to become a beta tester... after 1-2 updates problems are solved

        Curved edge screen, gimmicky ip68 rating that doesn't protect in real life scenarios, no headphone jack, no sd card, no snapdragon processor, poor software support longevity, single nano sim slot, not even 4.5k mAh battery... With such many cons, this phone is just an expensive toy for a kid at best, not suitable for work nor as a daily driver. Do better rotomola

                Never again. I bought this model in 2023 and it died in under 6 months. Water damage. Never submerged, only touched by rain. It's rated as IP68 but mine couldn't handle rain. Even when going to Motorola for support they said there was too much water damage. Somehow the case had split open, which would allow water in. It looks like the new models just don't stack up to their specifications.

                  No zoom ! That is strange. Can you pinch zoom to 2x while recording videos?

                    Dear editor. Great review.
                    1) How did you manage to take photos at 24mm, 35mm and 50mm with the main camera (50Mpixels) F1.4, if there is no optical zoom in this camera?
                    2) How do you compare Edge 40 camera set to the one from Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. Is the S23 FE zoom similar in quality to the digital one from Edge 40?
                    Thanks and best regards.

                        Battery backup is not good
                        First and last time I am buy this phone

                          * it should not switch off at 1% of battery. My mobile was getting switch off 6%.
                          * it should not drain 1% for every 5 seconds for less than 20% of battery during idle time.
                          * it should not drain nearly 20% for 8 hours idle time (without use). It can drain upto 5 to 10% max.

                          If you encounter these issues, send mobile to motorola service center. Tell them that mobile should be on at 1% of charge. If they blindly return you back, then resend it again.

                              Now it is not switching of until 1%. Earlier it was switching off at 6%.
                              Night sleeping time (8 hours), it was consuming 20%. Now it is consuming 5% without using.
                              Heating issue is common. No change.

                                Initially I have sent my mobile to motorola service center for heating and draining issue. They said, they have updated software and it is fine.
                                After receiving mobile, mobile was switching off at 6% or battery charge and after 20% of battery it is draining 1% for every 5 seconds.
                                Again I sent mobile, they replaced the battery. Now battery backup is OK. It won't switch off until 1%. Heating issue is common.
                                Night sleeping time 8 hours, battery back was getting draining 20% without using. Now it is draining only 5%.

Second time when I sent my mobile they have replaced battery. I have given proper reason. It was switching off at 6% and below 20% it was draining 1% for every 5 seconds. I asked them mobile should not switch off at 1%.

                                        Battery backup is very poor, just 3days before I have purchased this. Getting avg 16-17 hrs of backup.
                                        Don't know what is reason behind it.
