Great phone if you don't care about cameras or software updates
The 2 most important things for most. Those who dont care for these 2 would not be caring for curved screen either

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.
It would be a downgrade from S10+ both visually and emotionally

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

Check the dimensions, this is very tall, doesn't fit comfortably in my pocket (don't know about yours) just like the LG Velvet.
Stop wearing your sisters pants.

I'm totally serious. Really tried to love the phone but hated the camera. My old Galaxy S8 was taking better pictures every time in less than perfect conditions. Disappointing because I loved the phone otherwise. As for the software updates, it just started receiving Android 11 update when android 12 is already being tested.

They addressed the issue last fall. Earlier hw revisions from spring or summer 2020 are vulnerable to heavy tint and other screen defects.

It took a few RMAs to finally get a newer model. I still have this phone as my main, but use lineage 18 and not stock.
How can you tell the HW version of the Moto Edge?
I just got my 4th replacement item yesterday and the screen looks a little better than the 3rd replacement after 2 month of use.

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
I was always frustrated with that as well, and its not quite the same and a pretty big hassle to switch, but on AT&T prepaid you do get WiFi calling on certain unlocked phones, like pixels.

It's not all unlocked GSM (doubtful with this phone) but it's something, and on very similar service. Also, don't know if the carrier prices are similar but thought they also had a decent group rate; my mother in law is still on cricket, while others use AT&T prepaid. We don't use as many lines, so not certain it would be worth it any cost difference.

edit: apparently AT&T prepaid group deals are non-existent. either way, I agree it's a dumb cricket limitation

I was looking to purchase this phone, but the reviews about the screen are very worrisome. Does anyone know if this has been fixed? It appears to be a hardware issue.
I have the edge+ and it works like a dream

I don't have wifi calling either. In the last year or so, most of calls are flagged with "HD" on the call screen. We have 5 unlocked Motorola phones.

I find this kind of annoying as well, although I don't find myself in areas any more where I ever don't have service so I guess it's really not that important in the grand scheme of things anymore. It seems like the cell coverage has gotten good enough in most populated areas where you would have WIFI anyways to render this a non-factor.

I need to start thinking about a new phone sometime soon. Still using an AT&T LG V20 on Cricket with Lineage OS 17.1. It runs like twice as fast on Lineage as it did on the stock-based ROMs, but Lineage doesn't support VOLTE, so when they kill 3G in like 8 or 9 months it's going to be real painful to have to deal with the sudden massive performance drop when switching back to a stock-based ROM in order to retain usability of the device as an actual 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.
What android version of Z2 Force are you using? I can no longer update mine Z2
