Pros

  • • Finally mercifully officially brought back the highly missed, genuinely excellent dual stereo speakers natively featuring Dolby Atmos support.
  • • The highly capable Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor safely provides fantastic daily UI speed and easily handles light gaming well.
  • • Heavily successfully upgraded the overall physical design to look and physically feel much more premium and modern than older generations.
  • • The highly crisp 1080p digital display successfully retains the highly smooth 120Hz refresh rate, making drawing physically feel incredibly fluid.

Cons

  • • Still unfortunately stuck with an IPS LCD screen instead of the noticeably much more highly vibrant OLED panels naturally offered by direct competitors.
  • • The formally upgraded 20W wired charging speed is effectively practically still noticeably physically slow for a massive 5000mAh internal battery.
  • • Motorola's notoriously terrible long-term software update policy practically formally entirely guarantees strictly only one single major Android OS update.
  • • The overall basic camera hardware is decidedly average at best and heavily actively struggles with image noise in dim low-light environments.

Yes! In a massive and genuinely highly requested hardware upgrade, Motorola finally mercifully formally entirely brought back highly capable dual stereo speakers natively officially featuring Dolby Atmos audio support.

Is the screen OLED?

Unfortunately, no. While it is undeniably a highly crisp 1080p panel naturally natively with a very smooth 120Hz refresh rate, it strictly legally remains an IPS LCD screen, meaning basic colors aren't as vibrant as OLED.

How fast is the phone?

It is genuinely surprisingly highly fast. Powered explicitly natively by the highly capable Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, it effortlessly safely handles heavy daily multitasking and reliably easily handles light 3D mobile gaming entirely without stuttering.

How long does the battery last?

The battery life is practically truly genuinely excellent. You can strictly effectively easily and reliably thoroughly naturally formally expect up to two full days of basic, everyday usage on a single charge highly largely entirely expressly heavily thanks strictly thoroughly to the massive 5000mAh internal battery.

Will it get many Android updates?

No. Motorola's notoriously poor historic long-term software support dictates strictly effectively legally formally formally that it will highly unfortunately explicitly officially only ever genuinely theoretically strictly explicitly successfully completely genuinely receive one single major Android OS version software upgrade.
