Anonymous, 07 Jun 2024The issue isn't using the 8s gen 3, it's using it... moreWell, to be fair, the 999 euros price is for the 16GB/1TB variant, and if there was a starting variant of, let's say 12GB/256GB, it would have been priced around 800 euros or so. Now why Moto chose to launch only the 16GB/1TB variant in European markets is beyond me, but at 800 euros starting price, maybe 8sG3 would have been more acceptable to many.
I think the other relevant way to look at it would be that every phone at the design stage has an approximate budget, which then gets allocated to different components depending on several Marketing factors. Many Chinese companies seem to allocate half the manufacturing budget to the processor, and all other specs are pretty average. In this case, Motorola has decided to save a bit on processor, and spend it on other components (camera, build quality etc). Maybe that is the brand positioning they want to create, not a performance champ, but a sleek stylish cameraphone.

Wow, what a fine specimen of a phone.
Fine specs, VERY fine design 👌, and for someone who prefers stock Android, this phone is right up my alleyway.
The cameras aren't THE best compared to some Chinese flagship competitors, but I think it's more than enough for a flagship.

You can save some money if you import the Moto but the extra cash might be worth it for the Vivo x100s pro if cameras are the priority

Both those models for example in France launched for €1099 for 512gb (12gb+512gb for Xiaomi 14 and 16gb+512gb for Oneplus 12). Both were €100 more expensive for half the storage. Actually, Motorola also has overall the best camera hardware of these 3 but I'd personally still take either of the other 2 for cameras given the video quality on the edge 50 ultra is relatively poor. The Edge 50 ultra also comes with the new Moto buds + which retail for €150. Taking that into consideration the price isn't that bad really

I’m getting it regardless. The Edge+ 2023 was my favorite phone last year and I would love to see Motorola step up with a stylus on the 2025 flagship. It’s the minimal software support that’s killing the consumer interest on these phones. 5 year support would be on target. A camera kit for $199 would be an awesome addition.

Pumpino, 07 Jun 2024Apart from the video recordings, the camera performance is ... moreI feel quite split about the whole monthly updates thing.
Yes, a more expensive phone should warrant more care from the company. On the other hand, given how many issues pop up in Pixels due to the monly commitment, one wonders if giving an update for the sake of meeting a deadline is worth it? Perhaps it's better to prioritise stability, even if it meant a slightly longer time?
Not taking Motorola's side, but if any company could offer bug free, stable updates, that make things better (not worse, unlike the Poco, Redmi, Realme's of the world), I'd rather wait for a good update every 3 months rather than risk a potentially botched update that was rushed every month.

Not to mention, 15-20% higher sustained performance is not bad at all. The issue here is that it's an expensive phone with a chip that is not worth that amount of money anymore, there are plenty of good 8 Gen 3 phones at the same price as this one or less.

Many users seem to place undue emphasis on the processor, and pass their verdict based on whether the processor is best for the price range or not. A phone is more than just its processor, it has a dozen other dimensions which in combination determine the ultimate user experience.
Personally, I would take the combination of a upper-mid range processor and good cameras over a high-end processor and average cameras. I can wait 100ms more on a couple of occasions a day, but a bad photo would be a bad photo for lifetime.

Anyways the Poco lacks :
1TB storage,
16GB Ram,
IP68,
a periscope or a Telephoto in the first place,
an useable Ultra wide,
no OIS on front (front cam does not interest me personally),
USB 3.1,
Display Port,
Wireless charging
Reverse wireless charging.
Neither does it have a battery life that is close to the edge 50U even though it's battery is larger.
The Main cam is 140% larger on the Moto.
I'm not buying a phone simply for it's CPU.
