The Motorola Edge Plus (2023) has been my go-to Android phone for a couple of weeks. And the more I use it, the more I don't want to go back to my iPhone.
The iPhone 14 Pro is an incredible smartphone. It’s been my phone of choice for the last few months — and there’s very little I dislike about it. The size is perfect, it’s ridiculously fast, the display looks great … I could go on and on. Simply put, it’s a phone that’s done everything I’ve asked of it, and it’s given me very little reason to look for a new go-to smartphone.
Despite having a 6.7-inch OLED screen — the same size as the iPhone 14 Pro Max — the Motorola Edge Plus is 35 grams lighter. Hell, it even weighs less than the regular iPhone 14 Pro, despite having a much larger screen. I switched from the iPhone 14 Pro Max to the iPhone 14 Pro largely because I couldn’t take the cumbersome design of the Pro Max, but thanks to the Edge Plus, I can go back to a big-screen phone without carrying around a brick in my pocket. It’s just lovely.
But Motorola doesn’t stop there. The company adds its own flair to Android with a few additional — and very thoughtful — features you won’t find on a Pixel. Some of my favorites are the gestures; specifically, chopping the Edge Plus to turn on the flashlight and twisting it to open the camera app. They’re easy to use and offer instant access to two apps I use on a daily basis.
I love almost everything about the iPhone 14 Pro, but battery life has easily been my biggest annoyance with it. Even with moderate use, I have to put it on the charger by early evening if I want to have enough battery remaining to get though the rest of the night. And those frequent recharges take longer than I’d like, as the iPhone 14 Pro’s wired charging speeds max out at around 20 watts.
