Moto played it straight with this one.
No telephoto cameraWhile there’s plenty of room for more players, the stakes are set high. Samsung has been strengthening its support policy, speeding up its Android update pace, and thanks to strong relationships with carriers, offering some tempting incentives to those willing to upgrade to a pricier unlimited plan. Google has also produced its best high-end phone yet, though it’s been hampered by software problems recently.. That’s for the best since it wasn’t very useful anyway.
The phone’s 6.7-inch OLED panel features modest bezels on all sides and, at 1080p resolution, falls just a little short of the 1440p resolution of the Pixel 6 Pro’s screen. In use, though, it’s sharp enough, and I didn’t miss any of the extra pixels that it might have had. It offers a 144Hz refresh rate, and even though I can’t really spot the difference between this and 120Hz, it does make for a very smooth experience.
But Motorola has done a little rearranging in the app drawer, adding a “suggested links” section that takes up a lot of space and, at least so far in my experience, hasn’t been terribly useful. I also agreed to let a company called “Branch” use my data to personalize my suggestions based on my behavior, and even after a few days, it doesn’t seem to be any better at understanding what I want to do with my phone.
All told, it seems to have a little more stamina than the Galaxy S22 Plus and will last a full day of moderate and some heavy use. Streaming a lot of video or doing more gaming will probably require a recharge during the day, but there’s great news on this front: Motorola includes a wall charger in the box that supports the Edge Plus’ 30W top wired charging speed. It can take a completely flat battery to full power in about an hour — speedy indeed.
What’s missing from the Edge Plus’ camera hardware configuration is a telephoto lens — the 2020 model had one, but it wasn’t very good. Both the S22 Plus and Pixel 6 Pro offer a telephoto camera. Otherwise, the Edge Plus’ cameras are just fine without particularly standing out in any way. As is the case with most high-res phone cameras, both the standard and ultrawide use pixel-binning to produce 12-megapixel images.
