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?

The screen is way too curved and it goes bad in few weeks of use. Just see the reviews before wasting $450 on this phone.

Not really. I think the flagship is Moto Razr but it's way to expensive. Actually, there is Moto Edge+ with higher configuration but it's for Verizon only,.
I would buy this one if my current Moto Z2 Force no longer worked well.
Same here, except I have a Z3. I'd get a Z4 if available cheap, but might be out of stock. Wish they'd release a Z5...

ehh, about what you will expect on a 400 unlocked phone, absent some crazy deal anyway.

pixel 4a=349=sd 730
Nord N10=299=sd 690
Iphone Se, 399, dunno but better CPU than the aboves (but, it's an iphone with old styling)

So would this be an upgrade or downgrade from the s10+? I'm too lazy to check all the specs for myself and I'm sure someone already knows.

I don't think this would be an upgrade over the s9+. At most it would be a side grade.

This or S10+?
The 750 is about as fast as the 835 in the galaxy s8. The galaxy a71 5g has this processor and is around $300. This phone was a flop and still is. Stay away. The moto g100 is coming. Can't wait for that. Probably why theyre clearing this garbage out.

I suggest you read the thread as it was asked and answered already. I'm too lazy to tell you where in the thread.

Love my cricket plans 2x5 lines, ten lines total $190 or less per month. But damn they don't allow wifi calling on Android unless it's a cricket phone. Is there any go around? Would like this moto phone. Ty

SD is getting shameless day by day. Putting this as FP deal is insult to those who trust SD for making their purchase decisions.
I understand SD has to earn money, but SD you can do that by promoting at least something that is worth it
