PROS

  1. Unique 117-degree Action Camera: Dedicated ultra-wide lens allows recording landscape videos while holding the phone vertically.
  2. Excellent Video Stabilization: Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) on the Action Cam provides very smooth, shake-free footage.
  3. Clean Stock Android: Runs near-stock Android 9/10, providing a smooth, bloatware-free user experience.
  4. Generous 128GB Storage: Comes with 128GB internal storage as standard, which is excellent for this price segment.
  5. Expandable Storage: Supports microSD cards up to 512GB if you need more space.
  6. Immersive Display: The 21:9 CinemaVision display is great for watching movies and split-screen multitasking.
  7. Decent Performance: The Samsung Exynos 9609 processor handles daily tasks and gaming well without major lags.
  8. Useful Moto Actions: Features handy gesture controls like chopping for the flashlight and twisting for the camera.
  9. Premium Build Quality: Despite being plastic, it has a solid feel and comes with a pre-applied case.
  10. Headphone Jack & NFC: Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and NFC for contactless payments.

CONS

  1. Small 3500mAh Battery: The battery capacity is below average for 2019/2020, struggling to last a full day of heavy use.
  2. Slow 10W Charging: Takes a very long time to charge, with no fast charging supported.
  3. Action Camera Limitations: The dedicated 16MP Action Cam cannot be used to take still photos.
  4. Large Punch-Hole: The selfie camera hole is relatively large and can be distracting during media consumption.
  5. Average Low-Light Photography: Main camera struggles to capture detail in low-light environments, producing noise.
  6. Unconventional 21:9 Ratio: Tall form factor makes it hard to reach the top of the screen with one hand.
  7. Wobbly Buttons: Side volume and power buttons feel a bit loose and cheap.
  8. No Dedicated Night Mode: Lacks a dedicated, effective low-light mode found on competitors.
  9. Hybrid SIM Slot: Using a microSD card means you cannot use a second SIM card.
  10. Only Splash Resistant: The IPX2 rating provides only minimal protection against light rain or splashes.
