Critic consensus
“An expensive Motorola smartphone was long overdue, and the team did a fantastic job and proved they are still up to the task. The Motorola Edge is by no means flawless, but if you feel inspired and excited by its design the Edge is a chic 5G smartphone.”
“Even with its omissions, the Motorola Edge is shaping as one of the hottest deals of the season. It has the performance, the battery, and the camera to go with its great looks. It also runs Android 10 buttery-smooth on the 90Hz OLED, so there is a lot to like. The vanilla Edge is great on that price, and we do recommend it.”
“The Motorola Edge is a lot of things. It's a handsome phone, one that looks good enough to pass for something much more expensive. It's the more modest sibling of Motorola's first flagship device in years. And for now, at least, it's a very good deal in the US -- Motorola will sell the Edge for $500 instead of the usual $700 for a limited time. Maybe more than anything, though, the Edge is one of Motorola's first attempts at making a new kind of device: An affordable 5G smartphone.”
“The Motorola Edge is an overall better option than the Edge+ for several reasons, not the least of which that it's available unlocked with 5G support for $700. The screen, speakers, and software are the same as you'd get on the more expensive Edge+ as well. The battery life is undoubtedly this phone's best feature. It's extremely hard to kill the Edge in a day, and I think most people will easily get two days out of a charge. The Snapdragon 765 is also very nearly as fast in daily use as the 865.”
