There are a few reasons why I hate curved displays, and they may seem negligible to some. In fact, I actively despise curved edges, especially when they are so ridiculously pronounced as this one – the sides wrap around the phone at a distinct 90-degree angle, doubling down on the phone’s name and pushing the standard buttons (volume rocker, power) further down the (right) side. It’s obvious design was a key for Moto, who hinge it almost entirely on an “Endless Edge” screen, banking that more users prefer an aggressively curved edge display than not. This value flagship may be a step down from the super-sized specs of the + (which is not yet available in Australia), but comes with a nice balance, feeling great in the hand and looking like a device beyond its mid-tier price point. Is it enough to best its shinier rivals? There are cases for and against that, with the 5G-enabled Edge winning in some respects but falling woefully behind in others.
With the “+” version sitting at the top of their new flagship series, the standard Edge occupies the same space as the recently launched Google Pixel 5, Oppo’s Find X2 Neo and Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, given all four are priced at A$999.Īnd it’s putting up some great competition, throwing punches with a head-turning slim display, and a decent 5G-ready chipset.
It’d be foolish to count Motorola out, especially since the stalwart company has put out what is perhaps their finest, value-conscious smartphone to date with the Motorola Edge. With strong entries from the likes of Oppo, Google and Samsung, the Android market is as competitive as ever in 2020.
