@MargotRobbie Used to be decent value, but they've made a mess of it with far too many very similar models with pointless specs like 2-5mp macro lenses and such, also their update policy is abysmal, my motorola G4 play got left to rot lol. Not the only manufacturer guilty of this of course.
I also think they should bring Ready For to as many devices in their lineup as they can. It's an interesting differentiator.
Let me tell you a secret: There are so many similar, redundant Moto phones because for their lower end devices, they are all build by different white label manufacturers and Lenovo just slaps a label onto them.
@MargotRobbie honestly doesn't surprise me, it just seems unhelpful, you'd think for all the inspiration most android manufacturers take from apple, they'd copy the lineup density. But nope.
I’m not a person who’d be loyal to a brand. Yet Motorola consistently produces devices that turn out to be the best trade-offs (price to functionality) for me. And, so far, all these devices were pretty durable as well, though it’s not that I really put smartphones into lots of use. That’s all I can say.
Some of the best android phones, especially for the price. They seem to last forever and have good non-bloated software + unique features like shake for flashlight (why don’t other OEMS have this?). Only complaints I have are some lack of custom ROM support and sometimes wear over time. But for the price they are almost unbeatable.
shake for flashlight (why don't other OEMS have this?)
As often as moto phones are praised for this feature, the reason has to be that they own a patent on this and other manufacturers are not allowed to just copy it. Can't imagine it's difficult to do with some customization though.
I, too, am using the Motorola One 5G, and really aside from updates, I have no complaints, except the phone trips out once in a while or has weird screen glitches on occasion. Great phone though. Hoping to upgrade to one of the Edge series soon.
Motorola mobility(the one that makes phones) has been sold to Lenovo(chinese company). Their recent phones range from great value for money to mediocre. Their moto g32 was(and still is) great value for money
Snapdragon 680(6nm), 90hz screen, water repellent design, fm radio, 5000 mah battery, 30w charging, 85% screen to body ratio, headphone jack. All that for 160€ which is basically as cheap as you can get(a decent phone).
For me, their main feature is the flashlight shake, that allows you to turn on the flashlight just by doing a shake motion(no need to go into menus and stuff).
Good luck waiting then, it has been sold in 2014 and by the way was owned by Google before. Could have been what the lines of Nexus and Pixel have become today.
I had a couple of Motorola phones back in the day. Most recently I had a Moto Z2 Force, which had a shatterproof screen. I really liked that because around then I had my first kid and kids cause accidents all the time. LOL
Yes, it was made by Motorola. Writing this on my Nexus 6 running Lineage OS. It's turning a decade old soon and the older it gets the less I am willing to get something new. Nothing like that sweet 16:9 QHD OLED screen with headphone jack and stereo speakers in a metal frame for like 600€ anymore.
I was a die hard Motorola fan for years, Verizon’s DROID line kept me away from the Apple ecosystem for quite a while. When Google bought them I thought they would become the iPhone of Android ecosystem. Once they sold the name for $10 billion less to Lenovo, I switched to LG for a couple of phones, finally gave into Samsung. I miss when the tech was improving from year to year, but now, I’m happy to keep a phone for 2 years, buy a new one and give my mom the last one and there isn’t much difference.
**Edit: When I upgrade, I get the flagship, so that normally gives the phone 4-5 years with Samsung with updates. ***
Yeah I can't keep up. I have a Moto G9 Power and now all the model names are just super confusing. I can't wait for the Moto G1243.625252 to be released. Has slightly better specs than the G152662.99999 😁
I use a Moto G50 5G, my wife use a Moto e32s and most of folks in my work use some kind of Motorola phone. My work phone is also a cheaper Motorola. No dead pixels, charging time is fine, build quality is good. Updates could be pushed more often for the OS. IMO Moto phones are good budget devices, but I don’t see where is the money flowing when buying flagship one. Like the Law of Diminishing Returns is cranked up to 110 for this company.
thunder looks cool, but just like jerboa it is in early alpha, they can be a bit unstable, for the time being i’ll personally stick to the web browser.
