Motorola Edge Plus Specification Price Review Features

Motorola Edg Plus Specification Price Review Features :

Hey what's up guys  here and motorola is back in the flagship smartphone game. Do you realize how long it's been and to be honest I kind of miss these you know it wasn't that long ago that I remember the moto X and the droid series being super competitive and unique and just motorola in general bringing a certain spice to the high-end flagship game before their absence but then they didn't make one for a couple years so they did budget phones for a while and they dropped a folding phone but now it's 20 20 and they're back with a flagship. So what do they pack in well snapdragon 865, 12 gigs of ram, 256 gigs of fast ufs 3.0 storage and a 5000 milliamp hour battery .There's a triple camera on the back headlined by 108 megapixel main shooter this thing's got 5g radios and it's capped off with a 6.7 inch90 hertz led display that is massively I curved around the sides hence the name edge plus.

                                                                                                                                                      So there's alot of good things here but it's far from perfect and there are some things that are frustrating that sort of feel like come from motorola being rusty making flagship phones and we got to talk about the whole curved display thing. First of all I mostly really like the way this phone is built you know it's metal and glass like any other flagship and it has some character with the curves in the top and bottom rails that Ilike and yes you're not seeing things that is a headphone jackon a flagship phone in 2020 one of the last you'll find. Speaker at the bottom that's paired with the earpiece at the top to my ear gets pretty loud and sounds really good but what's funny is even as thick as this phone is the camera bp on the back for those huge cameras still sticks out even more and since it's off to the side and it is absolutely still rocks on a table classic but the one thing I dislike the mostisn't the camera bp or the fingerprint 6magnet that is the back of this phone but it's because this display this waterfall display so dramatically curves over theedges like the huawei mate 30 pro.

 It pushes the buttons on the side of the phone back from the center so they're not in the middle anymore, they're like pushed back even further from the middle where they'd usually be and also i usually like when the vole buttons are on the opposite side of the phone as the power button but they're all on one side here but i guess that's something you can pretty easily get used to  know what else I recently noticed when you shake this phone, a side from turning on the flashlight, it makes this noise you hear that so I thought that noise was coming from the buttons like rattling inside the phone which is like. Oh! that's not very good quality that's not very good feeling but you still get that noise when you hold the buttons down turns out that noise is coming from the giant camera and the optically image stabilized sensor inside the back of the phone.  

 Here I verified that because the same sort of system in the galaxys20 ultra also makes this rattling noise so any way it's not an actual fault of the phone. I just felt like pointing it out because I noticed  that these sensors are getting huge also don't shake your phone that much. I missed the motorola flagship software treatment like a lot there's not that many like it but it's really nice it's relatively clean android 10 with motorola features added that's always what i loved about those previous motorola flagships and almost the same thing you have the motorola actions. The double chop to turn on the flashlight the double twist to quickly open the camera app and all that stuff is still here, there's also motorola's couple widgets including this time and weather one on the home screen with this weirdly low frame rate animation but it's still pretty much mostly what I would expect but i guess they've gotten a bit rusty because this verizon exclusive phone has more bloatware pre-installed than i've seen on any pre mi phone in along time. 

These games has two different versions of candy crush the verizon cloud app, digitalsecure app, there's disney plus and then another game and then another gamesheesh. I didn't know initially if this is a verizon thing or a motorola thing probably a verizon thing  but yeah ofcourse you can just go through and uninstall them all one by one but it just doesn't feel premi when you have to go through that also one other little thing that doesn't feel flagship quality on this phone, is the vibration motor something that's underrated on a lot of those really good phones. This one has one that's kind of rattly and doesn't feel that great on par with like $400phones. I wish it was better but the battery is one thing i can't complain about though, five thousand milliamp hours is here, it's a huge sell and that's a trend i'm happy to see continuing in these flagships and it's translated well i was getting regularly six plus hours of screen on time which is awesome and it was lasting through the end of the day with battery despair which is what matters and i guess that makes perfect sense for a phone with a 1080p display and such a huge battery and there's also wireless charging and it comes with a decently fast charger in the box. 

  The one thing I'd be hesitant about well not hesitant really just  to keep in mind is this is a 5g phone that's one of their main focuses of it on verizon which cool great  but I 'm not in a 5g area. So that means some day in the theoretical  future they'll be lighting up 5g around here and then this phone will connect to that and it'll start getting those better speeds but also that will draw more battery life you know how much more we don't know but that's why 5g phones have all had mostly bigger batteries  but generally5000 million powers I'm not complaining and then this camera108 megapixels now you might be thinking wait a second we've seen that nber before and you'd be right galaxy S20 ultra, me note 10, this is another 108 megapixel main camera and for the most part it's pretty similar to samsung's camera matter off act the colors are quite nice and the shots are very detailed as you'dexpect dynamic range is nice with auto hdr as well and it's spitting out 27 megapixel photos by default and basically if you give it a little light you get good shots but it struggles again i have to mention this with the sensor being so huge and the super shallow depth offield that comes with that especially with closer up subjects you've heard me say this before but you know sometimes a shallow depth of field looks cool, I've raved about that in the past but the real problem here is motorola's viewfinder in their camera app sharpens the crap out of whatever you 're taking a photo of it looks it's like cranked to a hundred like you know that light room clarity filter, if you just turn sharpness all the way up it looks like an effect so the sharpness is exaggerated literally to a point where you can't actually tell looking through the viewfinder if you're nailing focus. We talk about curved displays so this phone is of course leaning into it pretty hard there's some edge display features that'll glow when you get a notification, when your alarm clock goes off the whole side thing they really love it and they also named the phone the edge plus.

   

There was a day a few years ago where every smartphone display was pretty much flat but as we start to reach out towards those edges and shrink the bezels a bit samsung tried one of the sides rolling over the edge because hey there's samsung and they can try stuff tossed a news ticker and some stocks over there and some quirky features on the side and suddenly it was a hit people loved it because it looked cool and next thing you know their next phone has both the sides flowing over the edges and we're loving it and other companies are scrambling to figure out how can we get our displays to do that too meanwhile accidental touches start to become a thing but you know what it's early they'll iron that out but that never really fully got ironed out now don't get me wrong, it still looks super cool that's the whole point it's this is prime form over function but it turns out that curve over the edges it doesn't really seem to be worth the extra costand the extra accidental touches we still get no matter how much they've worked on this palm rejection software and so now if you look back at samsung's newest flagships the galaxy S20 is one of the first ones going back to flatter displays turns out it's okay to roll back on some things we had capacitive buttons at the bottom of phones for a long while before we just stopped that completely, you don't see it any more we've had ring flashes we've had branded bezels we've had flaps over ports for better water resistance but all of those things we slowly realized there's better ways to do that or this isn't the best idea and now they're gone. It's okay to rollback on thing sand so this is my formal petition to realize that these curved over screens at least these extreme ones these 90 degree waterfall edges.Also not to pile on but this is the worst fingerprint reader I've ever seen under glass ever like. I really don't know what happened here I've tried re-registering my fingerprint twice using a different finger but this reader gives me the most failed attempts and the slowest average speed i have ever seen in an in-glass fingerprint reader so couldn't leave that out so to s it all up I've liked using this phone but i didn't love it and when you start to shop around and compare it like the oneplus 8pro that i just came from has a higher resolution, a higher refresh rate screen, a better quality screen, over all turn sout about the same quality camera system, much faster charging, there's the same specs a better fingerprint reader, cleaner software, no bloat ware fast software update, sand less of a curve around the screen so you know the smaller battery is may be the only downside but what reason is there to buy the moto .I just think it falls in that category of phones that you'd be okay with using if you got it but there are other better phones to buy out there and i think someone's got to say it, it's really just time to be done with those curved displays and i don't think motorola is done by any means with trying out flagships i think they'll be back at least i hope so either way that's been.                                                              

  So I feel  Motorola has to do something  like what one plus did for the Indian market for example if you recall  the one plus8 pro in the US is about almost $900 but in india they priced it and significantly lower at about 55 thousand. So I feel  if Motorola really want to get into the Indian market specifically they will have to actually subsidize it for india like what one plastic because at that price point of about  74,75 thousand, again you have to add eighteen Persian GST, it become even more expensive that the established players like the Samsung Galaxy S twenty plus etc . So I feel  yes the specs actually look and good and now  Android  users have an option  for example they have to go with Samsung or one press, so this is a nice option but I feel  for it to be popular in india they have to really price it then but I just don’t know if Motorola India will do that  the specifically for india because past experience show me that they haven’t done  it  but will be interesting to see if they do it in India.
