What we like about Motorola Edge+ (12GB + 256GB)

  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting up to two full days on a single charge
  • Blazing fast 68W wired charging with the included power brick
  • Top-tier performance driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor
  • Smooth 165Hz pOLED display with excellent vision-friendly flicker reduction
  • Clean, near-stock Android software experience with useful Moto gestures
  • High-value proposition, offering flagship specs at a lower price point than rivals
  • Dedicated stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support providing full, loud audio

What we don't like about Motorola Edge+ (12GB + 256GB)

  • Cameras lack the 'wow' factor and advanced zoom capabilities of Samsung or Pixel flagships
  • The heavily curved display is prone to accidental palm touches and makes finding screen protectors difficult
  • Inconsistent software update policy, with slower security patches compared to competitors
  • Slippery matte finish on the back glass makes the phone difficult to grip without a case
  • In-display fingerprint sensor is positioned lower on the screen than most users find comfortable
  • Lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable microSD card support

Verdict

The Motorola Edge Plus (2020 model) with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage is a flagship smartphone powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, designed for high-speed performance and 5G connectivity. Key features include an immersive 6.7-inch "Endless Edge" OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a versatile 108MP triple camera system with 3x optical zoom, and a large 5,000mAh battery that supports 18W wired and 15W wireless charging. The phone offers a near-stock Android experience and a returning 3.5mm headphone jack. Cons include the display's extreme curves leading to potential accidental touches and light reflections, the lack of an official IP water resistance rating (only water-repellent design), slower charging speeds compared to rivals, and limited software update promises. The initial model was also a Verizon exclusive in the US, limiting carrier choice.
