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.

One difference between US and rest of the world, there's very few carrier independent devices. Almost every new device is bought through a carrier. I assume Motorola has to go and sell it to the carrier before the customer.
Look at Pixel 10. They had to make it eSIM only most likely due to pressure from carriers?
Esim only is annoying. I'm not sure why the carriers want to inconvenience customers. With a SIM I only need to swap the card and use ZERO apps. Why force us to do something new?

Esim does not require an app (this phone is a little weird and needs a QR code otherwise, but that is not normal) and prevents real world attacks where a thief can steal a phone, eject the SIM and takeover everything associated with you thanks to SMS 2FA.

It also saves space inside the phone, making modern devices like the iPhone Air and next year's iPhone Foldable possible.

Ordered mine and just shipped yesterday. Was planning on following the instructions in the OP community notes for steps to activate however this morning received an email from Boost saying I'm all set and my devices are activated. Never activated myself, Boost appears to have preactivated the devices. What is the process now?
Edit: Upon checking my Boost app the devices are indeed activated prior to arrival. So much for the steps outlined in the thread to activate properly.
ACK! I wasn't even going to respond originally regarding the pre-activated SIM since I wasn't going to even use the service (I'd be pissed if I'd use the service and days were cut due to the pre-activation).
But I manually went to the site to log in to track the shipment (I've done it before prior to pre-activation), and the site appears to have sent a code to the new #, which I obviously don't have yet. *facepalm
Previously, the code was sent to my email.
EDIT0: I DO see the tracking id in the "Your Order is Shipping Soon" email.

Anyone experienced package return to sender / boost recalling these packages after shipping? Especially for iPhone 16e?
Yes, but not for iphone, for these motos. They cancelled the order and eventually refunded me the cost of the phone + taxes, but not for the service. I don't want to try dealing with their CS so will be filing a CC dispute soon.

"Personally I have not encountered a virus or malicious app on Android, because I don't use anything shady. The odds of installing a malicious app or being attacking through vulnerabilities (with very specific flaws), aren't high. The Play Store does have bad apps, though I think with common sense they can be avoided. Kids and seniors probably install junk.

This is definitely the best Moto Ive used since the Moto Edge 2020. That one had a more interesting waterfall display."



***** Yea. I don't mess around with any shady sites with odd streaming links and don't download any scam emails. I usually do change my phones like every 2 years but I could definitely see myself using this Motorola Edge+ 2023 for +3 years even when it should stop receiving updates. I had the Moto Z2 Force and that was my most enjoyable Motorola phone but this Motorola Edge+ 2023 clearly beats it out due to the improvements like larger screen (5.5" vs 6.67"), speakers, camera, etc.. I actually enjoy my Motorola G Stylus 2020, 2022 and 2025. The 2025 model is worthy of daily driver for me but isn't on par with the Edge+ 2023 if one values a great display and great speakers.
I like my Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 better than the Edge+ 2023. Really didn't like the curved screen and the fact that there's no case that will protect the edges as well as a phone with a flat display sporting a regular cheap case. Yes, the speakers are very good on the Edge+ 2023. I don't really care for the display output, 68W charging is nice too, but I'll stick with 25W and cap it at 80%. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is fantastic. But I don't see true performance gains in day-to-day normal usage between the two devices. The fact that there's no external memory SD card on the Edge+ is yet another downside for me regardless of 512GB built in storage.

Anyone use overcharge protection and having this issue? When I charge it will go past 80% without stopping till 100. My old 2024 moto g power would stop charging at 80% but cant get the edge 2023+ to stop. I use battery bot pro to signal me but would rather it natively stop charging.

Settings --> Overcharge Protection (Limit to 80%)
  • But do you realize that once a week, it will charge to 100% to keep it calibrated? It isn't always supposed to charge only at 80% every time.

I grabbed my Motorola G Stylus 2022 as my mini tablet phone at home for a long time. If I wasn't using my tablet at home, I would most likely use my Motorola Stylus. Now I use the Motorola G Stylus 2025 as its 2022 replacement. There is something appealing about my Motorola G Stylus 2025 that makes it very comfortable and user friendly. Sure it has the stylus, headphone jack that I never use and MicroSD support (128GB internal + 128GB microSD card for me) over the Edge+ 2023 (512GB) but I still prefer the Edge+ 2023 as my daily driver phone. I think I automatically use more caution using my Motorola Edge+ 2023 due to no tempered glass but with my Motorola G Stylus 2025, I use it more "carefree" because it is cheaper and has the tempered glass peace of mind protection. The Motorola G Stylus 2025 is a great phone though. I am actually typing on my Motorola G Stylus 2025 now.

Any particular reason people think Li-based battery chemistry require "calibration"? It's not like NiCd.
When I first learned of the sweet-spot, I just kept my range @ 60-40%, because prior, I had always kept my phone plugged in unless I was mobile which was much less frequent, and eventually my batteries would get puffy/pillowy.
I'd think *IF* a batt charge controller keeps track of voltage extreme ends, you'd basically only want to do a full charge/discharge once.
Possibly over time after a # of charge/discharges occur within your life-saving charge-range, you *MAY* want to do it full again, but I'd think that'd be very rare, like maybe every 100 or few charge cycles. Particularly with the reason being the harm coming from a full discharge at least.
Myself, I'd be satisified just playing it safe and keeping it in my sweet-spot. I had been using the magisk module ACC. I was just going to write my own simple script until I found out about it, and theirs is already feature-ful.

When it comes to phone battery life, this is what I do. I get great battery life. It also helps that I like my tablets and other secondary phone to take off use from my daily driver phone.
  • Never ever charge it overnight. Leaving any battery being constantly charged overnight will hurt the battery. Nothing good happens with that. Now there is more protection compared to the past where the Motorola has overcharge protection with 80% mode. My Pixel 9a has charging optimization. My Pixel 9a has 80% mode with 100% full charge every 2 weeks. The company set up 100% calibration for a reason. My Samsung Galaxy A54 has 80% mode and another mode that turns off charging at 100% when connected but will recharge again if it drops to 95%. There are lot of great charging modes but I still connect to wire for like 45 minutes per charge. I can wait.
  • I like to stay in the 20%-95% range so I don't use the 80%. I figured with a certain number of cycles that a phone gets that it would make more sense to go to 90-95% than use a cycle at just 80%.
  • Use battery saving tips. I always like dark mode now. I have used battery saving tips with all my phones. I laugh when companies talk about 1 full day battery life. I get lot more than 24 hours. I won't be turning off haptic vibration but turning off Bluetooth, wifi, data, using 60hz over 120hz, etc. when not needed definitely helps. Even with unlimited data, I still turn off data when not needed.
  • Avoid heat with your phone like the sunlight on a dash.
  • My Motorola Edge+2023 and Motorola G Stylus 2025 have both 68w charging capability. It works crazy fast but I like to stick with the 25w charger. I don't think really crazy fast daily charging is good in the long run. The phone is warm but not hot. Maybe it is fine with daily charging but I manage my charging time well so 25w charging is fine for me. It is still awesome to have 68w capability.

The price is really funny, since old phone in tech years. The 8 Gen2 is a flagship chip, doesn't matter that the phone is $10 or $500 like an old S23 Ultra. Usually something this old gets discontinued by the carrier. Why is Moto still making these? That's my thought. They are losing so much.

Most phones in this range on SD are slow or have too many compromises, like 128GB or poor screen. The battery on this phone with custom is unlike anything I've seen. Most times I charge every 3 days.
Quote from aerischan :
I'm actually wondering if Motorola had a lot of overstock of these but didn't want to lower their retail prices too much so Boost picked them up for a song.
As was mentioned earlier in this thread, This is the only phone that works with Dish Networks Project Genesis and the unique bands that they had. Dish/Echostar just sold most of that spectrum to AT&T so their attempt to create a 4th US cellular network has failed. It has been a great benefit for those here who were able to get this phone at $120 or less. It has gone out of stock multiple times before so there is still a good chance it will be available again.
