                  Standout design with that unoriginal and horrible curved display? Oh boy... That's why I read every review of yours: to laugh at the clows you are. Like the constant war against 60Hz only screens.

They knew people would fa... moreThe next cheaper phone with 1TB / 16 GB is the Poco F6pro for 679€, this phone has an 8gen2 (so about the same CPU) with a much weaker ultra wide main camera. On top of it, it doesn't even have a Telephoto, wireless charging or Anything to make ot waterproof.

                        Really, if it is priced at just over 700, this Phone has about zero serious competion in its 1TB phone class.

                                    You're just stuck up about the price, which admittedly is high and the phone should've come with 512 GB at 800 euros or less. That'd put it a notch below the Oneplus 12, and that's the correct pricing. I'd say.

                                    You're stuck up about the battery?? HOW? Look. This phone has 4500 mah battery, look at the weight of this phone, it's so light! The S24 Ultra has 500 mah more battery, the 8 gen 3 and still only has 20 more mins of gaming and actually has less video streaming time. Yeah the web browsing is far higher on the S24 U but it's 2 massive wins for Motorola and 1 win for Samsung, especially considering the gap in battery. Agreed Motorola has an FHD+ display but the Oneplus 12 and Vivo X100 Pro's battery tests show the display res isn't THAT detrimental to battery life.

                                    Bad cam quality? Have you even looked at the samples? The video is straight up 200-300 dollar phone level, I'll admit. But the photos are on par or better than the S24 Ultra in the native zoom ranges. What are you on about?

                                    Oh wow the phone fails in heat dissipation? Well what do you want, more performance or better thermals? This phone and the Poco F6 are extremely close in terms of scores, just lower stability on the Moto but the scores are close. What that means is Motorola mostly gets the job done, the heat dissipation from the FRAME is not good enough. The chip remains hot on both, look at the temperature results.

                                    "mediocre mid-level performance for top level price."

                                    Yeah right man, the S24 Ultra costs 400-600 euros more for the 1 TB, you get a slightly better screen, a better chip and one more camera. How's this Edge 50 Ultra bad in any way whatsoever? It's not perfect but it's not horrible, if Sony can sell the 5 V for around the same price with 128 GB of storage then this phone is revolutionary. Band for band this phone spanks the S24+ apart from performance. If you want performance get a top tier flagship OR a flagship killer. What would you do with the performance though? Seriously, the amount of people complaining about performance for the most part miss the point, the performance is there to DO stuff like encode videos and stuff, what do you even do? For 95% of tasks people do including video editing, this phone is fast enough. If anyone wants faster stuff then they can certainly go for top tier flagships but remember, this phone's performance was considered top tier flagship level a year ago, so I ask you this, what will you do next year if you had let's say a Vivo X100 Ultra? Would it be a worthless mid-level performer?

                                      YUKI93, 08 Jun 2024"The phone's chassis gets hot after 10-15 mins of... morewell when you're targetting an SDR look with not much post processing, ofc the processing is going to make it easy on the chip, ESPECIALLY when it's an extremely efficient chip like the 8 Gen 2. Look at the 1 IV or 1 III to see if Sony was still able to do it.

                                      I'm not saying Motorola is doing Apple levels of videos, it's just that Sony's aims are different from Motorola. Motorola wants an extremely processed video, and processing is heavy on the CPU. The difference between Motorola and Apple is that Apple cracked the code with even the iPhone 7, meaning with very small processing power they can do really good video processing. That's why algorithm tweaking is necessary, so as to not waste resources. Motorola might have more power but they're putting it to wrong use. A minimally processed slightly HDR-ified video would look infinitely better than whatever they have now.

                                        Aierlan, 08 Jun 2024Yeah, the Vivo x100s pro is more expensive if you import bo... morei had many phones over the years from samsung to sony than motorola and xiaomi.......now i wanna test the vivo
                                        the worst to best experience was samsung ,xiaomi ,motorola ,sony
                                        at first i wanted to stick to motorola but because of the fact that they could not optimize 8sgen3 im gonna either buy last years x40 pro or completely change to vivo x100s series......welp gotta save up money till next month when i buy either of them
