PROS

  1. High Refresh Rate: The 6.8-inch display features a 144Hz refresh rate for extremely smooth scrolling and gaming.
  2. Excellent Battery Life: A 5,000mAh battery consistently provides one to two days of usage on a single charge.
  3. Fast Performance: Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor provides snappy, lag-free daily performance.
  4. Solid 5G Connectivity: Supports both sub-6GHz and, on the Verizon model, mmWave 5G for fast network speeds.
  5. Ample Storage/RAM: Comes standard with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage (unlocked version).
  6. Clean Software Experience: Features Motorola’s "My UX" which is near-stock Android with useful "Moto Actions" gestures.
  7. Good Primary Camera: The 108MP main sensor captures high-detail photos in bright lighting conditions.
  8. Fast 30W Charging: Supports 30W wired charging, which can quickly replenish the large battery.
  9. Fast Fingerprint Sensor: The side-mounted power button/fingerprint sensor is highly accurate and responsive.
  10. "Ready For" Support: Includes Motorola's software that allows you to connect the phone to a TV or monitor for a desktop-like experience.

CONS

  1. LCD Screen: Swapped the previous model’s superior OLED display for an IPS LCD panel.
  2. No Wireless Charging: Lacks wireless charging, a common feature in phones at this price point.
  3. Mono Speaker: Uses a single, bottom-firing speaker rather than a,2nd speaker for stereo sound.
  4. Mediocre Low-Light Camera: Low-light and night mode photos are frequently noisy and lacking detail.
  5. Poor Software Support: Only offers two major Android OS updates, trailing competitors like Samsung and Google.
  6. Low IP Rating: Features only IP52 water resistance, protecting against light splashes but not submersion.
  7. Plastic Body: The phone uses a plastic body instead of the premium metal/glass construction of its predecessor.
  8. No Expandable Storage: Does not have a microSD card slot to increase the built-in 256GB capacity.
  9. Bulky Design: The 6.8-inch display makes it quite large and cumbersome for some users to handle comfortably.
  10. No Headphone Jack: Lacks a 3.5mm audio jack, requiring USB-C or Bluetooth audio solutions
