Review on πŸ“± Motorola Edge Unlocked 6/256GB 64MP Camera 2020 Solar Black - Made for US by Motorola by Jeff Hall

Revainrating 3 out of 5

UPDATE: Finally the flagship MOTO I've been waiting for years

Have been waiting for the flagship Moto for a long time. In fact, I missed Moto so much that I just wanted an OLED Moto with a headphone jack. But Edge seems to have crossed a lot off my list. Unfortunately I was appalled by what I received. NO OPTION TO CALL WIFI. :(...a few puzzling things from Moto's side. - Buggy out of the box - The OS must have hung/shut down several times to do a normal setup - The included case falls off the phone - The case is too big to be noticeable to fit the phone Useless most of the time .Crashes Turn off if you want to take your phone with you just in case.More dangerous than not having it at all -Finger zoom -For some reason I can't enlarge normal images and text etc. Very weird. I have LG, a couple of Motos and XIOAMI phones around me that I can zoom apps on, websites that I can't use Edge on. I don't get it at all - NO OPTIONS FOR WIFI CALLS - This could can be a deal breaker I have many Android phones including about five Motos (starting with the G4) and they all have at least Wi-Fi calling capability (depending on carrier if it actually works) but the E dge not even have in grades The options WHY MOTO, WHY? - I love gestures and they seem to work well, but what is One Button Nav for? Does it still take up screen space but does nothing? Very strange. I am having these issues and it is human error - PLEASE LET ME KNOW - I really really hope my issues are human error especially the WIFI CALL. Please let me know if you have any information about. Thanks very much! TO UPDATE. After posting this review I went to the XDA and Motorola forums; Among other things, I was told to root. I noticed that from the moment I took it out of the box, the battery life was nowhere near what it advertised. A few hours later I had 20% on a full charge. I thought maybe it was because I was installing apps, downloading etc. Day 2, I intentionally just turned on the phone, took out the SIM card and put in another one for my driver the same day (no calls over Wi- Fi with ATT so I can't use it at work). The phone just says it's been sitting on my desk all day and on a full charge it's down to 40% at 3pm - NOT USED. Then yesterday I noticed a purple "bruise" appearing on the side of the screen. It kept flickering and eventually got big enough to make it onto my main screen. So this phone has been a complete mess since it came out of the box. Luckily, Revain made it easy for me to replace it, which I did. I sincerely hope I got the lemon. If my replacement has the same issues I will update.
