PROS

  1. Premium Display: Features a vibrant and bright 6.67-inch FHD+ pOLED curved display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, which is a rare feature in its segment.
  2. Sleek and Lightweight Design: The slim profile (7.59mm) and light weight (172g), often with a vegan leather finish, give it a premium look and feel.
  3. Strong Battery Life: The large 5,000mAh battery can provide over a day of use on a single charge.
  4. OIS Camera: Includes a 50MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), which helps capture clear photos and videos, especially in motion or low light.
  5. Expandable Storage: The storage is expandable via a microSD card, offering flexibility for users who need more space.
  6. Clean Software Experience: Runs on a near-stock Android 14 with minimal bloatware and useful Motorola-specific gestures.
  7. Good Selfie Camera: The 32MP front camera produces detailed and appealing selfies.
  8. Modern Connectivity: Supports 5G (including 13 bands) and has NFC for wireless payments.
  9. Decent Audio: Features stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, providing a good multimedia experience.
  10. Gorilla Glass Protection: The curved pOLED display is protected by durable Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

CONS

  1. Underwhelming Performance: The Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor is considered less powerful compared to chipsets in other similarly priced competitor phones, especially for heavy gaming.
  2. No Charger in the Box: The phone does not come with a charging adapter in the box, requiring a separate purchase to utilize the 30W charging speed.
  3. Limited Software Updates: Motorola's software support policy only guarantees two major OS updates and three years of security patches, which is less than some rivals.
  4. Camera Inconsistencies: Photos can occasionally have blurry details, show an "oil painting effect" in aggressive processing, or have oversaturated colors.
  5. No Headphone Jack: The 3.5mm audio jack has been removed, a feature present in its predecessor, which might disappoint some users.
  6. Gets Warm Under Load: The phone can get quite warm during extended heavy use like gaming or video recording.
  7. No Official IP Rating: The phone only has a water-repellent design (IP52 splash-proof) rather than a full, formal IP certification for robust water resistance.
  8. PWM Flickering: The display exhibits PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) flickering at lower brightness levels, which could be a concern for sensitive users.
  9. Average Battery Test Results: While the battery capacity is large, some formal loop tests showed lower-than-average results compared to some competitors.
  10. Shutter Lag: There is a noticeable delay in the camera application's shutter, making it harder to capture fast-moving subjects effectively.
