Don't listen to the other people who are commenting and don't even own the phone. Take it from me - I've had it since launch. I'll try to be as objective as possible.

The way you want to look at it is, don't think of it as a flagship. Think of this as a mid-range to upper mid-range phone. For ~$400, you get a lot of phone for not a lot of money. It also uses a lot of the latest tech/trends if you're into that. Some people suffered from the green tint. I was worried about mine when I got it, but I've never had this problem. I also got one for my mother, who also has not had any problems with it. There are no issues with the curved display that I've encountered so far. Like someone else mentioned, the only inconvenience is that this phone is very tall. It will slip out of your pocket more than you'd like. But I can also say that even though I've dropped it many times (not very high, maybe a few feet from the ground), it has not failed, nor has it cracked. I wish they stuck with a traditional fingerprint reader - the in-screen fingerprint reader can be quite slow sometimes.

I wish that Motorola would stand behind their products and offer more updates and a clear update schedule. I think this is the biggest drawback, especially if you don't tinker with phones and just leave it stock. However, if you like to root and install custom roms, this phone has an official lineageOS 17.1, which will hopefully keep the phone relatively up-to-date as the years go by. Related to the software, I have T-Mobile, which has stand-alone 5g. Although this phone supports 5g, it currently does not support SA 5G. I believe this phone is capable of it, but just needs to be unlocked from the software side, which like I said, is lacking.

So in summary - overall a fantastic phone and it's great to use, although there are a few inconveniences that can easily be overlooked. However, I worry about limited updates from Motorola

If updates, both OS and security, are important to you then look elsewhere.

1. This is not a flagship level phone that costs $1,000 or more. The specs are very respectable for this price point.

2. Judging by the TU on the post and many of the comments, I'd say lots of people don't agree with your comment.

3. I don't know the OP personally but I'd say like most of us here, there's a 99% they didn't get anything in return for sharing this deal. Saying that someone should be ashamed of themselves for posting is not only exaggerated but just plain stupid.

4. If you hate this phone so much, why are you even here?

5. Instead of talking shit, why don't you go post a deal for a brand new unlocked phone from a reputable brand at this price that has better specs?

B&H Photo also has it for $399.99. I missed the Black Friday sale on it, so I will be buying it from one of those sellers today.

S10+ all day. Typing on it now, best phone I've ever had. Runs flawlessly. No desire to upgrade until 5g becomes more needed.

Per the Motorola website, these are the 4G LTE Bands they support:

4G: LTE band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/20/25/26/38/39/40/41/41(HPUE)/66/71

AT&T
Compatible | supports 4G, VoLTE
Missing bands 29 and 30 so there's one problem right off the bat.

So you think they may update it then an additional time? I wouldn't bet the farm on it. Have a moto z3 play I picked up a little over a year ago with the moto mod battery pack. Never got the android 10 they said it was going to get (still sitting on android 9) and the last security update was July 1, 2020 so that didn't even get one major update. Shit company.

I was going to buy this phone as I had good experiences with the Moto line but wanted something with better cameras and speed. This one looked like exactly what I was looking for - until I saw all the complaints about the screen issues. Some of the newer Amazon comments say it's still a problem.

I messed with this phone at Bestbuy a few months ago and it's definitely the coolest looking phone out there right now. Curved screens look awesome but it seems to be a dying fad. Gonna sport my S9+ until curved screens make a comebackSmilieSmilie

Well you would need to know when the reviewer's phone was produced...not purchased. Old stock is in circulation.

Check the dimensions, this is very tall, doesn't fit comfortably in my pocket (don't know about yours) just like the LG Velvet.
This fits fine in my pockets and I wear sz 30...

This phone has A11 already...and had a beta available since Nov.

Having owned both, I prefer 90-120hz screens, 5G for lower latency, unlockable bootloader, battery of 765, ToF lens for photos and waterfall.

Both have great speakers, 3.5mm, sd card, big screens with wide gamuts, strong reception. Samsung has a lot of bloat, 3yrs updates, reverse charge, wireless qi, better cameras, and more accessories.

Ideally I would say buy a N20U, having had an N10+ too. This phone could easily pass as a Samsung from the front tbh.

I've used mainly Sam and LG phones over the years, but mainly own Sam products like G watch, active, Tab S line, Buds, etc.
