This open box Motorola Edge 2025 stands out as a cheap unlocked phone with strong everyday performance, good battery life, and a chance of arriving like new. The excellent units were reported in pristine shape with accessories, and the curved display feels great for swiping and media. The main drawbacks are the curved edges, which make cases and screen protectors awkward and can crack more easily if dropped, plus some units may include carrier bloatware. Best Buy checkout also surfaced a $45 restocking fee and occasional plan prompts.

Common Questions (5)

  • Open-box Excellent units have arrived in pristine or perfect condition, often with no scratches and all accessories/manual included. The curved-edge design may also mean more returns from buyers who dislike it, which can increase the chance of a like-new unit.

  • The curved exposed edges make it more crack-prone when dropped, even with a case, and the side curve makes screen protectors harder to fit. If you need rugged protection or want to use both a case and protector comfortably, this model is a poor fit.

  • A $45 restocking fee can appear at checkout for activatable phones, but some open-box purchases have been reported as not charged that fee. The fee may be waived for unopened items and in certain states, so it's worth checking before buying.

  • Yes, the Best Buy app has been used to bypass the carrier-plan prompt that appears on the website or PC browser. The browser flow may push Verizon or AT&T setup even though the phone is listed as unlocked.

  • No. The 2025 Edge's USB is no longer 3.1, so wired Smart Connect is not supported, while the 2024 Edge still supports it. If you use Dex-style wired desktop features, the 2024 model is the better choice.

Because It's "open box - fair" and OP hides that fact.

"I'm here to complain about this $184 phone because it doesn't do all the cool stuff a $1100 phone does."

did you put a case on it? I have it for two years and no issues with a case.
I had Different phone on a case and one day it slipped off my hands, something that had never happened and landed on pebbles and cracked the back where the cameras are, one stone was slightly higher than the rest and the case and made impact with the glass and the stone won that one. this is to say, a case helps but when it's gonna happen, it will happen, regardless of what you do or don't.

Anyone else having issues trying to buy the phone on the website? I navigate to the open box phone, but when I try to add it to the cart for pickup, it takes me to a screen where it's asking me to setup the phone on Verizon or ATT.

This is a really good deal, why is it getting downvoted??
Maybe restocking fee is the reason.

I just went to bestbuy and asked if they can open it before I buy. They were happy to let me check it out. The excellent open box was in new condition. No scratches and absolutely perfect in my eyes. Had all the accessories and manual. I had a one plus 11 pro and It broke when i dropped on its screen. Going from an older high tier phone to this supposedly mid tier phone, I have not noticed any performance issues or lag. Everything for 183$, this phone is a champion. Only issue is because of the curved side bezel screen, the screen protectors are hard to find. Thank you Op for this awesome post. I refuse to pay 1200$ for phone. Also people who are complaining here, try it out for 180 bucks and if you dont like it, return it. Best buy manager said its returnable without restocking fee within 14 days.

Thanks for sharing. I hope mine will be in the same condition. And you're absolutely right about the msrp of cell phones nowadays. Open box condition is the way to go.

I got three motorola edges two years ago. Every single one of their screens broke in less than a year. Idk what if this uses gorilla glass or not but if it doesn't then it isnt worth wasting or time. I know some of the Motorolas have gorrila glass not sure which.

Similar to a 860
https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-com...nsity-7300
People love to dunk on MediaTek vs Snapdragon, but when you actually look at real-world performance + battery life + RAM/storage, the picture changes fast.
⚙️ Performance: I looked up the link

On paper, Snapdragon 860 looks stronger in raw CPU:
  • CPU (Single/Multi-Core)
    • Snapdragon 860: 36
    • Dimensity 7300: 39
  • Floating point compute
    • Snapdragon 860 is stronger (~93% better in FP workloads)
  • Clock speed
    • Snapdragon 860: 2.96 GHz
    • Dimensity 7300: 2.5 GHz
These differences mostly show up in benchmarks, not everyday use if you remove bloatware and note that Snapdragon runs hotter and often kernel task will start faster and slow down if your outside temperature is around 72F.
