5.0 out of 5 stars For the price? Fantastic. UPDATED: 6 months, still epic.
My phone has three main purposes: reading (manga, news, etc), mapping & travel-oriented things (think OS maps, managing my InReach, that sort of thing), and music playback. As such, needs to have a good display, good battery life, and good-quality navigational features. As an amateur photographer, it helps to have a phone you can depend on in a pinch, e.g. if it's too wet to get the DSLR out, or too risky.So, with all that in mind: for the price, great phone. I only have three criticisms.The first is that the curved screen is a ridiculous gimmick that serves no purpose- you can't touch/use the curved edge with a screen protector on, IF you can find one that works. Only a hydrated gel screen protector will work, and they're not that compatible with cases- chicken and the egg. I had to buy the protector, cut it down even more to size than it already was, and only then would it fit with the case I got. I tried 5+ cases and multiple tempered glass screen protectors, only to settle for a regular TPU case and a hydrogel protector.The second is the efficiency of the phone. No phone should heat up this much during charging- that's called inefficiency, loss: for a person who goes on 7-8 day unsupported trips with no opportunity to recharge, that means more weight- more power banks. It will heat up without fast charging, that is a fact. In airplane mode, it will last 2 (maybe 3, if you're judicious with your mapping and supplement with paper maps) days. That's not too bad, but not the best, and it's all down to the fact that it burns through 20% charge just being idle throughout the day.No headphone jack, really? You couldn't drill a small hole and shove in a headphone jack? What a ridiculous era we're in.Now, the good bits:- It has great navigation (GPS, etc)- Reliable & fast UI- No ridiculous adware like Xiaomi/Apple/other phones, you can uninstall all the trashy moto apps (and there aren't many.)- Camera isn't the worst, and is great for the price- the bog pic was a "raw" (comes out DNG) and the viaduct a HDR straight from the camera. In terms of camera phones, the colour rendition on the photos is generally spot-on, though you may want to turn off the HDR or tone it down a bit, as it can be too much in shaded/poorly lit conditions. It isn't good for night photography.- Audio playback is strong, vibrant, and doesn't skimp on the low frequencies- bass is good.- It's waterproof and durable. I've tested it by dropping it in bogs, dropping it in sinks, and yes, dropping it in hot tea (all three deliberately.)- It charges fast. It might heat up like mad, but it does charge fast. Not a priority for me, but something I have noticed in passing by.- It has a "pro" mode for photography, which does give better control in certain conditions- though the phone is limited by the camera system compared to the latest/best Huawei/Apple phones.I've never been one for using a phone for photography- my DSLR will always win just by a matter of fact of functionality, ergonomics, and literally physics (something I'm qualified to state.) But honestly, I would not hesitate to use this phone in a pinch to get an image suitable for web publication (definitely not large format print, though.)EDIT #1:In fact, on my latest trip, which I just got the phone for reliability on, the raws came out quite good- much better than my old P30 Lite (which didn't give RAW files.) That being said, the actual "photos" are AI-processed to hell and unusable. The RAW though? Look at the DNG screenshot at 1:1 that I've attached- honestly not that bad for a £300 phone! £250 even!EDIT 6 MONTHS:God damn! This thing is amazing for photography. I've attached some more pics. 1:1 this thing outdoes my D780 x 28-300mm (photo prudes as you wish, that's a killer combo I have used to print meter-wide posters.) The limit is the sensor, the lens on this is perfectly sharp! If only it had more pixels and less noise (AI Denoise helps a lot.) I've thrown in a 200% zoom (yes, 200%) to exemplify the quality this can output.It really opens your horizons to have a camera you don't need to fish out your backpack for, you can just grab your phone and snap a pic candidly while hauling your 30 kg pack! Obviously the camera wins when you're being technical and composing a frame delicately, zooming in and picking out something tight, but for a quick shot that you would otherwise miss due to weather or being too tired? It's worth it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great little phone for the price
Absolute bargain and at this price I knew I needed to manage my own expectations. In summary:- Battery life is very reasonable and charging is extremely fast- The screen could be brighter in daylight and ideally would dim more in the dark- The camera is pretty average to poor. If taking photos is important to you, go for Samsung- Processor is fast, no lag even when online gaming (I played PUBG with no issues)- Easy to use Android- Very aesthetic, I went for peach- Great size- Happy with the sound quality
5.0 out of 5 stars Good value phone.
Its a very good phone for the price which runs smoothly, has a great camera and looks really nice in the blue. It runs fast and is responsive. Storage not an issue for me as 256gb is plenty. The fast charging is a great plus to this. I get full charge in under an hour. Overlal this is a great phone and I would recommend it for good value and high performance 👍👍👍.
4.0 out of 5 stars Overall great phone, but has problems with contactless payments and downloads apps I didn't ask for
This is overall a great phone. The battery lasts the whole day, the camera is pretty good and works in low light conditions and has a lot of storage. Rarely freezes or crashes.However, contactless payments sometimes randomly don't work which is frustrating. Also the phone keeps downloading video games overnight every month or so. I get a message from Motorola saying 'we downloaded new games for you'. I never asked for that and tried looking to opt out but there's no option to opt out. I instead disabled the Motorola app for it to stop. Outrageous
5.0 out of 5 stars Great phone for this price range
I bought Moto Edge 40 Neo phone to replace my old Moto G8+ as my old phone got burned pixels on display after 5 years of use.In the box (which was filled with a nice scent) was phone, charger, cable, manual, protective back case.Display is great with true black colour so you can enjoy movies/videos without the typical "backlight grey" during the dark scenes. I did take few pictures in outdoor setting with clouds + variations in light and quality is really good.Sound is good, with Dolby Atmos and equaliser settings to your liking.Set up was easy with Moto prompting to transfer data from old phone to the new one, I used the new cable from the box to do this as over the WiFi it would be much slower. Software updates and download of applications took about 2 hours with frequent restarts required which is understandable - getting the phone up to speed with the newest version of security patches and updates.Battery life with location, data and WiFi switched on with mixed daily use (watching videos, reading articles, and also occasional screen off time) is roughly half a day thanks to 5000mAh battery. Charging from cca 30% to 100% took around 30 minutes (there is setting for rapid or optimal charge on the phone) with charger + cable provided in the box.256GB internal memory and 12GB RAM (with option to share extra from internal memory) is sufficient for regular user.There is no slot for extended memory card as it has only 1 SIM slot (I haven't tried to use e-SIM to see if that would then enable use of SD card).No 3.5mm headphones jack - you can buy USB-C to 3.5mm jack adaptor or use wireless headphones.As it is with other Moto phones this one also comes with Moto UI where you can set up visuals, fonts, etc.There is also a lot of Moto apps which are useful if you have smart home and lot of devices to share or screencast to.Navigation and positioning are both good. I have been driving between towns and had no issues with position accuracy and I also tried to find my way in remote forests on holiday in Europe (I didn't get lost so must be working 😄).I don't consider myself very heavy phone user but I think for this price it packs some great stuff and it's worth buying.
