Deal Details
Boost Mobile [boostmobile.com] has 512GB Motorola edge+ 2023 Smartphone (Boost Mobile Locked, Black) on sale for $59.99 + $60 1-Month Unlimited Talk/Text/Data Service = $119.99. Shipping is free.

This phone is now back in stock at Boost. It's a steal at this price still has better specs than most phones out there especially with 512gb of storage. I bought one on last years deal and was able to unlock it via one of the unlockers who were kicked off of eBay. Many didn't have the unlock codes yet back then but would assume their available now. YMMV. I currently use mine with Instabridge esim for 5gb of free data a month. Just bought another for my wife.

Note, on product page select "I don't want protection" or Boost Protect will be added to cart at $12/month.

I just ordered the Boost Mobile Motorola Edge+ 2023. Maybe I am in the minority but I am quite interested in Smart Connect. I tried it with my Motorola G Stylus 2025 (wireless method) with the PC desktop and I found it laggy. It works wireless fine with my firestick but only screen mirror with my chromecast. Both dependent on WiFi connection. I want to see the more responsive easier wired method to a monitor or TV which I assume won't need WIFI connection.
  • I used a half baked Samsung Dex with my Samsung tablet. I haven't tried it with a Samsung phone.

It works fantastic. It was the main reason I bought this phone.Actually using it right now to watch NFL on a spare monitor.

I also have a $10 Logitech Bluetooth mouse I sometimes use, but you can use the phone screen as you know.
Good to know. Now I will have more use for my 15.6" Arzopa portable monitor that is gathering dust.

Do you recommend the Motorola Ready For (Smart Connect) dock? I am going to buy the $8.99 USB-C cable to HDMI.

I'm just using an Amazon Basics Usb-C to HDMI that was $2 from Woot. I thought about getting the dock but the reviews aren't great.

I did buy an official Motorola Ready For cable with power input off eBay for $12+ shipping. They're not sold anymore. so hard to find. https://ebay.us/m/Srtwam

I also have 2 UsbC to HDMI Docks that are posted often on here for around $7.

That's just a fancy way of saying you're screencasting which I actually prefer to do using a direct, physical connection and I have compatible cabling capable of pulling off that feature.
Way more functional than basic Screen Casting or mirroring. Also it's using a UsbC to HDMI cable to any monitor or TV. Wireless only works if you're using a PC with the Smart Connect app installed. Otherwise, then you are just Screen casting.
I actually misworded my original comment and meant to say "streamcasting" which doesn't change the intent of my original comment since Motorola's option doesn't allow for outputting the phone's display on an external monitor using a direct connection unlike my Sony Xperia 5 IV w/o the need for an app.

I'm doing that right now. This phone with a USBC to Hdmi cable direct to a computer monitor. Which is why I wanted this phone. The lower end Edge/Stylus and others can't. Actually, looks like none of their 2025 phones can do this.

I think there's a disconnect: Like I said earlier, you still "need an app" for that feature to function unlike other phones I own such as the Sony Xperia 5 IV which is native.

Was anyone here able to get it unlocked after 1 month or is this definitely 12 month wait?

Are you talking about the Smart Connect app on the phone?

The native Smart Connect function of the phone is built into the Moto software as far as I know. Which is why it doesn't work on Lineage OS.

You can use the Smart Connect app on the phone to have a mouse pad and other functions, but don't have to.

How do you control what the Sony displays on the monitor or are you just mirroring?

No disrespect to you, but are you that dense? It's not that hard to comprehend after rephrasing my statement multiple different times to explain to you what I was trying to say which is that the only "official" way to connect your Motorola edge+ 2023 to display or in this case "streamcast" on an external screen is by using the "Smart Connect" app. However, as I said before, and this will be the last time for me to explain this, I own other phones that do not need an app to support that same feature and rather, it's native to the phone itself, as in my "Sony Xperia 5 IV" is able to display natively (NOT "streamcast") to an external screen w/ a direct connection using an "Type-C to HDMI adapter" right out of the the box even during the phone's initial setup. It's not dependent on an app, it's not dependent on Wi-Fi or any other specific protocol such as Wi-Fi Connect, etc. which was the point I had been making this whole time.

Do you even own this phone?

The Smart Connect App is NOT required to display out on this phone. It just makes it Much better.
You can disable it in settings and see that for yourself.

Then it works the same as any other phone with USB 3.1 and 1.4 Display out, like my Oneplus 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL, and whatever phones were in the two photos you posted.

Yea. I already have an adjustable portable metal phone stand and thought the Motorola Ready For dock is nice but kinda expensive as the benefit is the cooling fan. It doesn't appear to charge. If gaming, it could be nice with cooling fan. I will look into a docking station sale in the future. Too bad the Motorola Edge+ 2023 doesn't have bypass charging or a way to be connected to power charging and direct connecting to a monitor. I have a Pixel 9a and it has the ability to run on power cord and not the battery. Last night I actually found out that it can use direct wired connection to a monitor but it doesn't have that nice desktop mode like Smart Connect or Dex.
