PROS

  1. ncredibly thin and lightweight design (5.2mm) makes it one of the slimmest smartphones ever.
  2. Innovative Moto Mods ecosystem allows for magnetic, snap-on accessories like projectors and speakers.
  3. High-performance Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB RAM deliver snappy, top-tier speed.
  4. Gorgeous 5.5-inch Quad HD AMOLED display provides vibrant, high-contrast visuals.
  5. Fast-charging TurboPower tech provides hours of power in just 15 minutes of charging.
  6. Clean, near-stock Android software experience with very little preinstalled bloatware.
  7. Good 13-megapixel rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and laser autofocus.
  8. MicroSD card support allows for easy storage expansion.
  9. Reliable and fast fingerprint scanner for quick, one-motion unlocking.
  10. Moto Display feature offers a convenient way to check notifications without waking the screen.

CONS

  1. Extremely small battery capacity (2600mAh) results in poor, sub-par battery life.
  2. No 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring a USB-C dongle to use standard headphones.
  3. Polarizing design with a large, protruding camera bump that looks unfinished without mods.
  4. The phone is very slippery to hold and can feel uncomfortable due to sharp edges.
  5. It tends to overheat during heavy gaming or while using certain Moto Mods.
  6. The front-mounted, square fingerprint sensor is not a button and is easily mistaken for a home button.
  7. Moto Mods are expensive accessories that are mostly necessary to overcome the phone's shortcomings.
  8. It is not fully waterproof, offering only a basic water-repellent nano-coating.
  9. The camera can struggle with white balance, producing yellow or blue tints in low light.
  10. The phone can stutter when it gets hot, leading to inconsistent performance
