How does everyone feel about Motorola phones?
I have one of the Moto Edges, can't say I have many complaints outside of the slow charging and a dead pixel that developed a year in.
The edges didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, I can even use it as trigger to play Citra games which I couldn't do with a flat phone so that was nifty. Clean software, long battery life, but terrible update schedule though.

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. ***
Oh man, The Google era Moto was so good and persisted until G4, then Lenovo just started adding more models and everything is just a mess now.
In Italy #megliomotog ("Moto G is better") became a meme among tech enthusiasts because of its quality-price ratio.
They kind of lost when they split the X lineup in X Play e X Style (those horrid Snapdragon 615 and 808 didn't help either).
Not gonna lie, I'm a little buzzed right now so may be remembering things wrong. However, I think I remember that I had been buying computers from Lenovo for years before all this started, and I had to stop just before this acquisition happened due to serious privacy and security violations. I would normally serach the web for an answer, but at this point I would get an AI answer that says security isn't important and I need to pledge my allegiance to the "god ai."
Yeah, turns out Google just wanted Motorola's patents and were never interested in making phones (until in typical Google fashion they realized they do want to make phones themselves, and so ruined Nexus and started Pixel), so they gutted Moto Mobility and sold the corpse off to Lenovo, who wasn't even in the phone market before then.
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 😁
