Definitely one of a kind (download Gcam immediately)
This review comes from the perspective of a person who has never owned a Samsung or Apple device. If you’re reading this and it’s not on sale, and you don’t mind the big guys… Keep it moving. This phone isn’t worth the asking price on build quality alone. But if you see this anywhere under 8 hundos, and you’re ready to buy the optional 68 watt charger (moto made, and verified compatible) then read on my friend, and let tell you about this hidden gem.
Build quality: Looks good, but can feel a bit cheap with the plastic frame. Buy a case and forget about it ( I got a Poetic case). The volume buttons are above the power button, you get used to it but still not the best configuration. The phone does heat up while gaming, charging the battery, and taking pictures. HOWEVER, after having done a throttle test, I can tell you that the heat management is very good, and the performance loss never dipped under 80% over half an hour, nor did temperatures pass 50c.
Hardware:
Screen is accurate but not bright, with slightly cooler tones out of the box. There are limited adjustment options available in settings. Direct sunlight visibility is just OK, definitely functional. The auto frame rate adjust is great and saves battery… But that 144 frame rate is buttery smooth.
Signal : I’m on At&t, and initially assumed that I would be stuck on 4g. First I installed the sim, then At&t sent an update a day later and after resetting the phone 5G was available!!! No dropped or missed calls at all.
Speakers are loud but a bit tinny until adjusted. Dolby equaliser should be set to film (surround sound) and pick the treble boost Sub option. Bass boost sub options are available as well. If you leave Dolby on automatic, they focus more on voices than music, so it’s great for non music target.
Battery life is pretty good on a heavy day, excellent for everyday use. Easily getting over 6 – 7 SoT, even with heavy use ( ex. hours of YouTube playback, Genshin Impact, taking pictures, and making calls) I haven’t dipped anywhere near the 5’s. The optional 68 watt charger has me topped off in a little less than an hour. Buy it, it makes the phone into a certified beast. This phone can also charge other devices when they are connected via USB c cable.
Camera : physically very cool design, motorala’s photo app is not so cool. Strange colour science they chose to roll with for photos. It is the phone’s greatest weakness. Xda forums has a working version of Gcam alongside the. Xml config file. It changes everything! All of a sudden, you’re in the big boy camera game too. And you can even change Gcam to the default camera for your moto gestures!
gcam-for-edge-x30-edge-30-pro-edge-plus-2022-working-night-mode-face-retouch-config-file.4391919/#post-86297887….. This is a clue how you get there. Research how to use the xml file and where to put it. Good luck.
Software :
Its stock android with moto mods mixed in. The unlocked version doesn’t come with a lot of useless apps. If you’re obsessed with security updates then you won’t like it. You can use whichever launcher you want, but I think stock does a pretty good job.
The software excitement comes with Ready For (aka Motorola Dex) Trust me guys n gals, it’s legitimate and not a gimmick. I’ve played emulators on big screens, checked my emails with portable monitors, and basically made my laptop obsolete. It’s that dang good. Plus it can recognise the display output of the device it’s connected to and adjust. Get yourself a Bluetooth keyboard, a Usbc to hdmi cable, and a Bluetooth video game remote. The all in one experience is finally here, there, and anywhere a compatible device can be connected or cast to.
Pro tips: Apt-X is a Bluetooth audio codec, and it makes compatible headphones sound truly amazing. I’ve found that Apt-X Adaptable can be a bit laggy on this phone, and honestly didn’t change much more than normal Apt-X. Trust me, if you don’t know anything about Bluetooth codecs and wonder if it’s worth the hassle, just try it once for comparison and thank me later.
The Motorola Edge+2022 has less available resources under this name as compared to Motorola Edge 30 pro. They’re the same phone and can share the same resources. This will double the amount of advice and information you can find.
Even though it looks like the sim tray can accept two cards… It can’t. I tried.
Developer mode . Change the animation speed to x.5, change the default Bluetooth codec, change the World. Don’t play around too much or you’ll brick your phone. Every time you connect a new device you’ll have to check the Bluetooth codec option to change it. The phone should do it automatically after the first time.
If you’ve made it this far.. Thank you for taking the time. If you do decide to buy this phone, I’d like to welcome you to a very small and exclusive group of people. We found our diamond in the rough, and with any luck it’s going to carry us (with 2 major updates and 3 years of security support) into a whole new world of productivity and awesome. Hello ð Moto… LET’S GO!!!

Absolutely love it
My Huawei Mate 20 Pro started to have issues of randomly rebooting after three-plus years of use. I first replaced it with a Google Pixel 7, but disliked it after two weeks of use. The battery life of the Pixel 7 does not last a whole day and the touch screen is not sensitive after using a screen protector (I turned on the option to increase screen sensitivity). I decided to give Motorola Edge + (2022) a try. I had to pay $100 extra to bump the storage of my Pixel 7 from 125 GB to 256 GB, and this Moto Edge + (2022) has $512 GB storage! It seemed a good deal. I read quite a few reviews, and none spoke highly of this phone. Now I have had this phone for about a month and I can report that I like everything this phone offers.
This phone functions well as a calling device. Good reception outside and it supports WIFI calling on the T-Mobile network. By default, the WIFI calling is not enabled, but I got a message from T-Mobile with detailed instructions on how to enable it. That part was easy. I also updated the system with 6 periodic updates. At the time of this writing, the latest system update was from 12/1/2022. I find the volume of the speaker decent, comparable to other phones my other family members or I have used before.
The phone takes clear pictures under low light conditions. I can tell that there are some software enhancements to the pictures. Some people find it not acceptable, but I think it is probably a choice of personal tastes. I am neutral about using AI to enhance pictures. Overall, I think the camera on this phone performed better than my expectations.
I like the overall design of this phone. The layout of the cameras looks better than the Pixel 7. I also find the fingerprint reader integrated with the power button a better idea than the on-screen placement. It’s much faster compared with the Pixel 7. When I use Android Pay on this phone, it is much easier to unlock the phone with the outside fingerprint reader. With all other features such as NFC, wireless charging, long battery life, 8 GB memory (can increase to 10 GB with onboard storage), 512 GB of storage, and a low price of $499, I definitely think it is a much better deal compared to Google Pixel 7 or even the pro version of it. I haven’t tried the Motorola Ready For functions, which can use the phone as a high-res webcam or a desktop computer. They all sound like something useful and are surprises to me.

Funciona de maravilla y el precio fue muy atractivo. Lo uso en México con la red de Telcel y AT&T sin problema, incluso en red 5G

Muy buen producto, a buen precio. Llegó rápido y en buen estado. Bien empacado. Funciona a la perfección en las redes de Telcel y AT&T en México. Incluso se conecta a 5G sin problema.

Motorola Edge ! Aucun souçis, il fonctionne a merveille.
Cliente contento –
Tengo un mes usandolo y hasta el momento puedo confiar que es muy veloz; pude copiar la imagen de mi teléfono anterior por lo que la configuración fue super rápida; tiene buen nivel de sonido y calidad de imágenes en fotografÃa y vÃdeos; la baterÃa dura un dÃa completo si la usas mucho; pero si se descarga; lo puedes cargar super rápido. Creo que ha sido una excelente compra y está más barato aquÃ
y con más capacidad de las opciones en las páginas de Motorola y Telcel.
