Just leaving this comment here for the benefit of others - This is the Edge (Mediatek processor) and not the Edge + with the Snapdragon processor.

I have a pixel 6a and this Moto edge. Other than the updates, the Moto is a much better daily driver. I've been using it since December and have found it perfectly capable. The screen is impressive and bright. The camera has a larger main sensor than my galaxy S 22, and although the software is weaker, it takes really nice photos that look great even printed out at 8.5 by 11. The speakers are much better than my galaxy or iPhone. The media Tech is surprisingly responsive, although obviously not as fast as the snapdragon in the Edge plus. It's very lightweight and feels nicely balanced in the hand. I'm sure others will disagree vehemently, but I heartily recommend this phone at this price.

The megapixel count isn't what matters on modern smartphones. It's just a marketing figure. The AI software that's processing the photo is what matters. Also, the quality of the sensor is more important than the pixel count. The Pixel 7 line only has a 50MP camera and it's tied with Samsung and Apple's flagships for the best photos. Moto has inferior software than the leading manufacturers. Moto has a phone with a 200MP camera, yet it takes inferior photos to even the Pixel 5's 12MP camera. Depending on what you're documenting, the Moto may still be fine, though. It's not like the photos will be a completely blurry mess. They just won't look as crisp and photogenic.

Why does my 2021 edge have a 100MP camera and this one is 50MP? I'm not a photographer but I document with my camera

Much better deal is the moto edge Plus 2022 from the boost mobile deal. It's $200 for the phone plus $40 for 1st month service (cancel auto pay) and about $4 for the unlock code from ebay. I have been using it with Cricket for about 3 weeks now and because its performance is way more consistent it feels like an upgrade to my previous pixel 7.
Same. I use the edge plus as my daily driver and pixel 7 as backup. I definitely don't get 2 days of battery life. That may be a good tradeoff for using the mediatek processor

Thanks to the person who mentioned the processor being used. Google the difference between the MediaTek Dimensity 1050 and the SD1. Huge difference.

Would be great if US phones were dualSIM instead of the monopoly carriers requiring single SIMs everywhere.

This. I came here to make sure I didn't get buyer's remorse (impossible with Amazon, I know). Rep to Peerless_Warrior.
Keep in mind this is NOT the snapdragon variant, which is sold on Boost with vastly better specs. Easy to unlock

For the same price:

This vs Google Pixel 6a?
That's a a tough one. This is better than the 6a in every way but brand. My aunt got the 6a and I have to say I'm really disappointed with it (I set it up for her so I have a lot of experience with it), no wireless charging on the 6a and the OS is painfully lacking. I get that the pixel us supposed to be a virgin android experience but as a Samsung user it felt like I went back 10 years.

But I'd trust google to support it for longer than motorola

Most phones have esims now... my s22 ultra US variant has esim and regular sim. I'm currently using esim which means I don't have a physical sim anymore but if I wanted a 2nd number I could easily do it with the physical sim

Do you only need to enter the code once (a-la TracFone) or every time you change network?

What do you mean by software is weaker? If you mean the photographic post processing, sure Pixel and Samsung have better AIs for that. Overall moto software is LITERALLY the best Android as it's purest (no bloatware).

The two SoC's aren't exactly comparable apples to apples since they are designed differently. That being said, overall you'd expect it to be roughly the same as a SD780 or SD865 according to synthetic benchmarks. It really depends on the exact task you are trying to perform on the phone. If you're specifically thinking about gaming the Mali G610 on the Dimensity 1050 is better than the Adreno 642 on the SD780. However the Adreno 650 on the SD865 is better than the Mali G610 on the Dimensity 1050 in raw performance but not better in efficiency.
