Motorola Edge (2021) review: Improvements where they matter most

Motorola launched a pair of Edge phones in 2020 that stood out for their “waterfall” displays. But it wasn't the flagship that we preferred of the two. Instead, we were impressed by the more modest Edge. It wasn't perfect, but you got a lot of phone...

A flat and fast 144Hz display Two-day battery life You now get two years of software support

Poor haptics No headphone jack and a single tinny speaker Mediocre ultra-wide-angle camera No wireless charging

At $600, the Moto Edge is a good option if you don’t mind sacrificing on camera quality and can live without wireless charging. It’s $150 more than a device like the Pixel 5a, but you’re getting a phone with a better display, faster processor and...

Motorola Moto Edge (2021) Review

A lot changes in a year. In 2020, we recommended the $699.99 Moto Edge to anyone looking for 5G connectivity for under $1,000. The 2021 edition of the Moto Edge carries the same price, but 5G connectivity no longer carries the same premium. That puts...

Crisp LCD with high refresh rate Excellent battery life Solid 5G connectivity

Disappointing software upgrade policy Mediocre low-light camera performance Mono speaker No wireless charging Low IP rating

There's nothing wrong with the 2021 Moto Edge, but it's priced to compete with flagship phones that offer better long-term value.

Moto Edge 2021 Review

The Motorola moto edge gen2 (moto edge 5G UW) is a premium smartphone built to compete in the $599-$699 market segment where users still demand...

Excellent battery life ; Large and agreable display ; Good feature-set

Value-proposition challenged by competitors ; Display could be brighter ; Weak bottom-firing speaker

The moto edge gen2 is a significant improvement over last year’s moto edge gen1. The camera prioritizes the most common use cases while system performance is much better. Motorola has worked on the right things.

Moto Edge review (2021): this phone has lost its edge

Last year, after a long absence, Motorola finally re-entered the Android flagship space with the $999 Moto Edge+, a no-compromise, glass and aluminum smartphone packed with all the specs. This was followed by the $699 The Moto Edge runs Motorola's...

The Moto Edge offers excellent battery life and great software, but not much else

Motorola Edge 20 review: Almost like a Pro

Motorola Edge 20 is a premium mid-range smartphone from Motorola and offers important features for those looking for power and elegance.

Excellent 144 Hz display with HDR10+ certification ; Versatile and good quality camera setup ; Very light and thin ; At least two years of guaranteed Android updates

No headphone jack ; Mono-speaker ; No microSD card support ; Complicated to use with only one hand ; Mediocre IP certification

The Motorola Edge 20 has the screen, software, virtually the same camera, and design of the Pro version of the series at a cheaper price point. This alone would guarantee that the vanilla variant of the Edge 2021 line occupies a prominent place in the...

Motorola Edge review: Numbers don't mean everything

Motorola made just the right changes to give the Edge the cost advantage it needs compared to its more performant stablemate.

Great display ; Excellent battery life ; Solid performance ; Headphone jack

No IP rating ; Middling cameras ; Overdue a price drop

Motorola made just the right changes to give the Edge the cost advantage it needs compared to its more performant stablemate, but it's in dire need of a price cut.
