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?

This or S10+?
been on S10+ for 2 years now, I tried the S21 Ultra, it was nice, but not worth the $8xx upgrade imo. gonna use my S10+ for a couple more years if possible
it's a little slow compare to a new S21, but overall it's still a very good phone for today's use

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

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.
Careful with the abriviating words people can easily misunderstand the point you're conveying, especially coming from another country. Believe it or not there is an actual phone called "N20U" which was released about 6months ago, having no affiliations with the Samsung brand at all.

Not sure what the other guy did to his Motorola phone to say they are known for breaking down but I have bought over 10 motorola phones for me and others and they all work perfectly fine. Right now I am using the Moto G Power/Stylus as my secondary phone and they are great and an absolute steal for their sale prices! I don't think I would pay $400 for this Moto Edge with April 2021 coming very soon especially with the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G great deals that happened. I am quite surprised we didn't see the Pixel 4a 5g and this Moto Edge not having better discount sales after Black Friday. When I do upgrade from my current daily driver, Motorola will be on my radar especially for its great user interface and awesome battery life. My current daily driver phone is the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G with the great sale and trade-in and I returned a Pixel 4a 5G.

The Moto G100 with the 870 processor is being sold now in some Europe and Latin markets but the price is more than I expected after initially hearing some low price earlier hype. 870 is overkill for my use so I would stick the 700s midrange or even future "upper G lines".

If you were really lazy you wouldn't have bothered composing this useless reply......fraud
The reply was useful because your answer is already here. Read the thread. Fact. It was also true because I did not feel like figuring out which post it was in. There aren't even that many, so lazy can take many forms. I guarantee I am too lazy to look it up, but you should since it is your question. Peace

Are Motorola phones durable?
Here's one experience with moto phone, my dad has Moto g4 plus for the last 3years, and my mom has Samsung S9 for the last 2-3 years, and they both use the same network with exactly the same plan. They live outside US. Whenever I call them through WhatsApp video call, my dad's phone always gets better call than my mom's.

Motorola has better reception with reception signal but also with wifi. My Samsung doesn't lose reception wifi reception once connected but my Motorola recognizes more wifi signals around me. The antenna must be stronger. For some odd reason I can get an Optimum wifi signal at my house with my Motorola but I can't get that same Optimum wifi signal with my Samsung. Very odd.... When I go outside to other areas with Optimum wifi signal, my Samsung can find and use Optimum though.

What android version of Z2 Force are you using? I can no longer update mine Z2
Mine is with version 8. It's still fine for me. Usually the higher OS version we upgrade, the slower the phone runs.

I bought one G4 in 2016 and one Z2 Force in 2017. Both are still running well now.

Truly, truly true. I had a Moto G5+ and 1 year in I vowed to never buy Moto again. The only thing I liked was the 'shake flashlight'.

90hz & 765 chip over 120hz & 865 chip? Nice try, moto employees.

The radio on Motorola phones are very weak and deteriorate over the time. That is the basic functionality that falls short. Seen it happen on many phones and moto do not have a fix or solution for it. They make good phone and good features, but what is the use when the cell signal is super weak. Had a cheap $50 phone next to it with same network and service and that did well while Moto phones didnt have any signal.
Just be wary.
