I tried this phone along with every other flagship phone in Best Buy a week ago... I was blown away by the design, the handfeel, the ease of use, the screen, the speakers, snappy camera... I could not tear myself away from watching music videos, and I didn't even hear the associate approaching because it was so loud! But horizon lock in this video has blown my away. That's the party trick every phone needs to stand out. I will look at some camera tests, but unless it's abysmal I will be getting this phone.
I bought this phone since 2 weeks ago, and the battery last you a day or two depends what you're doing. I don't really don't need to charge it during the night because the battery is still full from day before like that's great.

New to the channel. I just ordered this phone. From the video it looks really good. I am changing from the z flip 3 5g. I switched because of it being an edge. I watch a lot of videos on my phone so the screen interested me the most. I am really excited about this phone. Can't wait to get it.

Nonetheless I hope to see a full review of this phone on this channel soon. thanks for this unboxing, Tim.😊
Precisely what Luis said ^ Been rocking the 2022 version for a year with no complains (other than lack of case selection). But this sucker has 512gb of storage, 144hz, oled, fantastic battery life, and 65w fast charging.
Bro the Moto Edge 2022 is what you're looking for, I hate they haven't released Android 13 on it yet after promising 3 os updates but I love the phone and to me A13 isn't really that different from 12 anyway. 144hz refresh rate, 6.6 inch Oled display, it's 95% stock Android with Motorola's dope gestures. I want this new edge plus but I'm good with what I have, been using it since October 2022 and haven't had any issues other than Apple Music acting up sometimes.
I've been waiting for a true flagship from Motorola. This I hope is a legit Galaxy and iPhone competitor. Bought it direct from Motorola, waiting on delivery.
With the horizon lock can you take videos holding the phone vertically, like you can with some action cams?? Holding the phone vertically is much easier than holding it horizontally when taking a video.
Good morning. I have a Motorola Edge Plus 2020 and I say it's an excellent device. Now I intend to update myself and I spent the new Motorola Edge Plus and I intend to buy it when it arrives in my country.🇧🇷
A little fun fact is Motorola was bought out by Lenovo in 2014 which is why all Motorola follows Lenovos high end look and design language. I've always owned Motorola and won't switch just because of the fact I love all the gestures and little features they give you. Plus you cannot beat how much shit you get for the price compared to other brands!
@@AminNazari666features that aren’t 5 years old claiming to be groundbreaking, a price tag less than 1200$, an operating system that isn’t completely controlled by Kim Jong Un himself, sideloading, useful apps, mediocre apps aren’t 16.99$, the alarm clock works and you can use third party ones, settings can be tweaked for pretty much everything. Man I can go on and on, I’m leaving iPhone for good, the last straw was pulling money from my bank several times yesterday and banning my Apple ID when customer service told me to kick rocks and I hit them with that chargeback for nearly 100$. Fuck Apple, and fuck Tim Crook
I'm still rocking the regular Moto One 5g with Android 11 on it. It's starting to lag a little, but overall it still works decently. The camera sucks though 😂
I've been using Samsung phones since 2008. I fact if it wasn't for 5G I would still be using the excellent Note 8. I still use it as a sort of mini jukebox. A couple of years ago I upgraded to the s22 Ultra. I was shocked to find out that Samsung decided to eschew the sd slot. I thought I could live with the 128 gigs of memory but this proved a lot more difficult than anticipated. I store a lot of music and photos on my phone. This immediately became a problem as I quickly ate up 99 percent of the phone's storage capacity. Files and playlists started mysteriously disappearing and I found myself constantly sacrificing apps and pictures just to keep 4 to 5 gig available. The Edge plus solves all these problems. It may not have all the features of the Galaxy but most people don't utilize half of their phone's capabilities anyway. So long Samsung. I'll miss you...probably.
Update: This phone does not have an SD card slot although with 512gb of memory you'd probably never need one but I'm seeing information claiming that this thing will support up to a 1 tb sd card. In fact I'm pretty sure the website mentioned support for type 2, 4 and 6 class cards. Maybe I misread but be forwarned. The tray only supports a Sim card.
Does it have face recognition? And what do the emojis look like. I'm upgrading mine so I want to make sure I get the same or better before I spend my money because I love mine now. Also, is the flashlight shake on, and screenshot with 3 fingerprints. I'm sorry lol.
It's the exact same phone with the exception being the 40 Pro having up to 12GB of RAM, the option for 256gb or 512gb of storage, smaller battery, 125 watt charging. Or to keep it simple. The Edge+ (2023) is the U.S. variant of the 40 Pro
I'm pretty sure this phone is known to be Motorola edge 40 pro in other countries it comes with 125 watt charger although the 40 pro has a 4600 mAh battery ??
Anyone who has this phone. Can you tell me if it has the Google call screening option in the phone app? Also does it rattle at all in the flashlight shake.
Short answer is Yes. Long answer it's usually located under the SIM option in your phone if you search for it under settings however I Know On my current phone I can do that which is the new Google Pixel 7 pro. I think it was the same On my old Samsung as well. I'm not sure if EVERY phone can do it but I am sure most can.
@@Pandaman94 Thanks. My summer trips are in the UP of MI and no 5G. This phone does it? I like this phone as an upgrade to my Moto E6 which I like, buy only 16 GB internal storage. Even with the Micro SD, too many apps still on internal.
Anyone else with this phone have issues with the smart text selection feature recognizing addresses? When holding a finger down on an address it should automatically highlight the address and give an option to open the address in "Maps", but it's not working. Purchased phone 1 month ago, did a few factory resets, made sure I installed all updates, cleared data for the Android system intelligence app and so forth, but nothing has worked.
Good review Tim.... you're audible, presentable, excellent audio quality and video too. Now let me watch. Loving this from Manzini, Swaziland 🇸🇿 And oh! Im a Xiaomi sheep but im here to see what the masters are up to now. It's good to see Moto back on the game. Looks solid and purposeful. So there's no Stylus or it's in the other one?
Currently using the 2022+ Edge Plus 512gb I got from boost mobile for $199 only prepaid. It's dirt cheap and I just set it up for an 8 dollar plan per month coz who needs unlimited data on the go. It's just a waste for me I'm always busy at work so can't use all those unlimited data being offered by many telcos here in the US. At home, we have xfinity for the phone all other devices. I'll pass on this 2023 model though. I hate curved screens. It's kinda difficult finding a good protector for those.
Good review, my only concern is how well will the phone's Curved display hold up in the long wrong . against scratches and scuffs or cracks being that it has a curved display .I now that screen protectors are okay for protection but not always gonna use them and does it have advanced Gorilla glass on this one .since it's gonna be expensive.? Hopefully the glass is not that curved ..I now that my old pixel phone had a slight curved display but was really well built unlike today's flagship phones. .will see

What's your opinion of it?
It's been 5 months. How is the phone?
My man got silenced by Apple and Samsung to not give us a review or updates after their Motorola arrived.
Just ordered the one plus 11 this week but when I saw this I ordered instantly. The OP looks good but this looks better.
Had the same dilemma, ultimately the ip68 made me choose this instead
Does this phone support Netflix HDR?
Just got an update too Android 14. Love mine.
I wonder what phones will still puts chargers.
All of them?
I started with the G Play, just purchased the 2023 Moto G 5G, getting the edge plus next week. I think Moto offers great bang for buck!
