Best Prime Day phone deals: 15 deep discounts from Samsung, Google, and more

Brady Snyder — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 17:26:22 GMT

Smartphones have been getting more and more expensive over the years, and a flagship phone can cost over $1,000 in 2023. One of the ways people make smartphones more affordable is through carrier installments, but they can come with strings attached and a long-term contract. That's why people who prefer unlocked phones — meaning smartphones that aren't tied to a cellular carrier — should look to buy a new phone during Amazon Prime Day sales. Some of the year's best new phones are seeing massive discounts, and these prices meet or are near the lowest prices we've ever seen for these products.

Best screen protectors for the Motorola Razr+ in 2023

Brady Snyder — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 21:00:19 GMT

Motorola's new Razr+ is a clamshell foldable with an expansive cover screen, and that key feature might make it one of the best foldable phones in 2023. But, as a consequence, it also adds another screen that can break due to drops or scrapes. Foldable smartphones are typically more brittle than traditional ones, in part because their inner screens are made out of material more similar to soft plastic than glass. Though the Motorola Razr+ does have a cover screen made out of glass, you'll want to keep both the inner and outer screens safe.

Best screen protectors for the Moto G Stylus 5G (2023)

Brady Snyder — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 11:00:19 GMT

Motorola's new Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) has a display that looks great indoors, but suffers from low brightness outdoors or in direct sunlight. In our time with the Moto G Stylus 5G, we found that Motorola's latest phone with an inbuilt stylus does have glass that scratches fairly easily. Once you get a few annoying scratches on your smartphone, there's little to no recourse for fixing them. As such, it's a great idea to put a screen protector on your new Moto G Stylus 5G as soon as you get it. It's one of Motorola's best phones, so you'll want to take care of it.

Best Android phones for $300 or less in 2023

Karthik Iyer — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 14:30:18 GMT

Smartphones have gotten a lot better over the years, and thankfully, not all of them will cost you an arm and leg now. That's right, you can buy some great Android phones for $300 or even less as long as you don't mind giving up on all the fancy features and sticking with the one or two that are most important to you. I recommend turning to Android phones if you're in the market to buy one of the top-rated phones without breaking the bank, as the budget Android space is constantly swarmed by a ton of options. In fact, there are plenty of good handsets to choose from, which is why I decided to shortlist some of the best Android phones under $300 for you.

Best Motorola Razr+ deals in 2023

Timi Cantisano — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 11:00:19 GMT

Motorola is once again breaking the mold when it comes to flip phones, much like it did with its original Razr V3 that debuted nearly 20 years ago. Its latest Razr+ foldable smartphone is making waves mainly because of its cover display, which expands across the entire front cover of the device. As you can imagine, this larger display was a welcome change for many that have used foldable flip phones over the past few years with much smaller displays.

It's high time Motorola stops ignoring its G series phones

Karthik Iyer — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 15:00:18 GMT

Motorola has always held a special place in my heart for delivering must-have phones back in the day. Be it the original Razr or the first set of Moto G phones that take you back to the good old days of Moto Maker, the company has a legacy of delivering some impressive phones.

Motorola Defy Satellite Link now brings two-way satellite communication to iOS, Android in the US

Timi Cantisano — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 14:13:51 GMT

The Motorola Defy Satellite Link was launched some months back and is now finally making its US retail debut. The device makes it possible to communicate using satellites with existing Android or iOS smartphones in areas where cellular coverage might not be available. We've seen this type of feature explored for emergency purposes, but Motorola's device can be used for general two-way messaging if needed. The device is now available from a variety of retailers and will cost $149, which also includes a one-year subscription to the Essentials Messaging service plan.

Best accessories for the Moto G Stylus 5G 2023

Timi Cantisano — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 21:00:40 GMT

Motorola's known for its budget-friendly smartphones, and the Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 is probably one of the more unique offerings from its lineup company, delivering an affordable smartphone with a stylus. It also features a great screen, excellent battery life, and a solid Android experience with just a few Motorola customizations thrown in.

Does the Motorola Edge+ (2023) have wireless charging?

Pranob Mehrotra — Sun, 25 Jun 2023 21:00:19 GMT

Motorola's latest flagship smartphone might not be among the best phones of 2023, but it's certainly a great buy for those who want a flagship experience at a relatively affordable price. The Motorola Edge+ (2023) offers impressive overall performance thanks to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and up to 512GB of fast UFS 4.0 storage. The device also has a gorgeous 6.7-inch pOLED display with a fluid 165Hz refresh rate, a decent set of cameras, and a long-last 5,100mAh battery with 68W wired fast charging support. Despite the comparatively lower price tag, the Motorola Edge+ (2023) doesn't cut many corners and even offers premium features like wireless charging and reverse wireless charging support.

Best chargers, cables, and accessories for Moto G Power 2023

Karthik Iyer — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 11:00:18 GMT

The 2023 model of the Moto G Power brings some nice upgrades over its predecessor. It's got a new display and support for 5G, among other things, and it remains an excellent choice for those who want the best battery life. One thing to note about the new Moto G Power model is that it supports charging speeds of up to 15W, but Motorola only includes a 10W charger within the box. I am glad that it comes with a charger, but you'll need a better one to top up its 5,000mAh battery at max charging speeds.

Best cases for the Motorola Razr+ in 2023

Brady Snyder — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 01:00:21 GMT

Clamshell foldables like the Motorola Razr+ keep their main displays safe by folding horizontally, but they typically add a cover screen that's still susceptible to damage. Plus, adding folding mechanisms and a hinge does make the phone easier to break since there are more moving parts. Though this can be a key concern when buying the Motorola Razr+, you can quell these fears by adding a case to your new folding smartphone. Since the Razr+ looks to be one of the best foldables out this year, it's a great idea to put a case on your device for looks and protection.

Best accessories for the Motorola Razr+ in 2023

Brady Snyder — Thu, 22 Jun 2023 23:00:18 GMT

As our review of the new Motorola Razr+ shows, the company is truly challenging the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4 as the best clamshell foldable in 2023. However, folding phones always come with limitations and compromises. To get the most out of your new phone, you'll need to pair it with some great accessories. To help you out, we've compiled a list of the best accessories for the Motorola Razr+ in 2023 below.

Motorola Razr+ (2023) review: The best clamshell foldable right now

Ben Sin — Thu, 22 Jun 2023 13:00:20 GMT

After inexplicably making last year's Razr a China-exclusive device, Motorola is bringing the Razr line back to the U.S. and other international markets. And there's good news: The Razr+ (2023) is a polished and eye-catching clamshell foldable that makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 look outdated. Of course, the Flip 4 is almost a year old, so it's not the most direct comparison, but the Razr+ is the biggest challenge yet to Samsung's dominant grip on the foldable market in the U.S., all thanks to its much larger cover screen. If you've ever been unsure about this kind of phone, the Razr+ is a great place to start.

Moto G Stylus 2023 vs Moto G Stylus 5G 2023: Do you really need 5G?

Joe Rice-Jones — Sat, 17 Jun 2023 17:01:18 GMT

Motorola’s strategy of budget-orientated cellular phones has been paying off. Its Moto G models are known for long battery life, a rarity in these days of flagships needing daily charging. This year has refreshes of every model, including the Moto G Stylus (2023) and its 5G-enabled Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) sibling. Is the addition of 5G connectivity the only thing that has changed? We’ll dive into the details, so you can decide which of the affordable stylus-equipped smartphones is right for you.

Best Moto G Play (2023) cases in 2023

Ayush Pande — Sat, 17 Jun 2023 00:00:20 GMT

The Moto G Play (2023) may not be the best Motorola smartphone you can buy for under $200, but its long battery life coupled with a clean UI makes it a worthwhile budget option. The phone’s plastic body is sturdy enough for daily usage, but it's weaker compared to a more expensive, metal phone. The phone can be damaged if not handled carefully, and accidental drops can shatter its tempered glass display. That's why cases are always a great investment. While there are plenty of cases for the Moto G Play (2023) on the market, I have compiled a list of some of the best ones for you.

Best Moto G 5G (2023) screen protectors in 2023

Pranob Mehrotra — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 09:00:19 GMT

The latest addition to Motorola's popular G series might not be the best cheap Android phone overall, but the Moto G 5G (2023) excels at a couple of things that will make it a great pick for some. It offers a clean software experience, excellent battery life, a high refresh rate display, and decent enough performance for most day-to-day tasks. However, it lags behind similarly-priced competitors in the camera department and doesn't have the best build quality in the sub-$300 price bracket. If you're considering buying one for yourself or have ordered it already,

AT&T is selling the Motorola Razr+ for $180...no trade-in required

Timi Cantisano — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 13:11:24 GMT

AT&T's coming out of the gate with an aggressive pre-order deal for the Motorola Razr+ that knocks $820 off its retail price. AT&T is offering the phone for just $5 per month with an eligible unlimited wireless plan, and perhaps best of all, it doesn't require you to trade in a device. The deal will be available for new and existing customers for a limited time, so get it while you can.

Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) review: Do you even need a stylus in a midrange phone?

Brady Snyder — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 13:00:19 GMT

As smartphone manufacturers continue to push the limits of pricing, Motorola has gone in the opposite direction. There is a market for affordable smartphones, and Motorola has carved out a niche in this area. With the Moto G Stylus 5G (2023), the company is aiming to create a midrange smartphone with a built-in stylus. Not many midrange smartphones offer this functionality — or smartphones in general for that matter — so this feature alone makes it in the running to be one of the best budget smartphones this year.

Is the Motorola Razr+ water and dust resistant?

Brady Snyder — Tue, 13 Jun 2023 17:00:19 GMT

Motorola is back in the North American foldable market with the Razr+, and it looks like a clamshell foldable that can finally rival the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. With that in mind, Motorola's new Razr+ could be one of the best foldable smartphones in 2023 if it gets the basics right. A pain point of developing foldable smartphones that all manufacturers encounter is making them durable. Though traditional smartphones have become incredibly durable today, foldables are more challenging. That's because there are more moving parts, like the hinge that allows phones like the Motorola Razr+ to fold and unfold with ease.

Moto G 5G 2023 vs Moto G Stylus 2023: Is the pen mighty enough to win?

Ruben Circelli — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 09:00:02 GMT

When it comes to Android smartphones, there are tons of choices, and Motorola has a bunch of phones you can choose from, too. If you're not looking to break the bank, though, the 2023 Moto G 5G and Moto G Stylus are affordable options that come in at $150 and $200, respectively. However, the Moto G 5G comes with a more responsive display and better battery life, while the Moto G Stylus has its built-in stylus alongside an entirely different processor. So, the question becomes, which smartphone is right for you? Read on to figure out precisely which Moto G 5G will serve you best.

Best Moto G 5G (2023) accessories in 2023

Timi Cantisano — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 00:00:20 GMT

Motorola has been on a roll as of late, releasing and refreshing its handset lineup, which is mostly filled with budget-friendly smartphones that pack a lot of features. The Moto G 5G (2023) is one of its latest phones that provides excellent bang for the buck, with its 120Hz display, fantastic battery life, good performance, and excellent software experience. At $250, the Moto G 5G isn't going to break the bank, has everything you could ever want from a smartphone, and could be the perfect phone for you if you're willing to look over some of its shortcomings.

Best Moto G 5G (2023) cases in 2023

Mahmoud Itani — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 01:00:19 GMT

Moto G 5G (2023) is one of the best budget phones currently available, but at its ultra-low price point, there are certainly some compromises. Coming in at just $250, the Moto G 5G costs just a fraction of what a flagship smartphone might. One of the Moto G 5G's compromises is its design, which isn't anything special and features a plastic back. That design choice not only makes it look dull but also makes it susceptible to cracks and other damage.

Does the Motorola Razr+ come with a charger?

Brady Snyder — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 14:00:19 GMT

Motorola's latest clamshell foldable, the Motorola Razr+, has the potential to be one of the best foldable smartphones in 2023 for a lot of reasons. It's got an expansive and powerful cover screen, remains fairly thin, and boasts serviceable battery life. But like a lot of modern smartphones today, a simple question needs to be asked: what's in the box? Though companies used to include all kinds of power adapters and accessories in the box — some of the best smartphones even came with cases back in the day — that isn't the case in 2023. Now, smartphone boxes are tiny and don't include a lot that you need to get up and running. Is the Razr+ any different?

Best chargers, cables, and accessories for the Moto G Stylus (2023)

Pranob Mehrotra — Sat, 10 Jun 2023 10:00:18 GMT

The Moto G Stylus (2023) is the only affordable Android phone with a built-in stylus on the market. While it isn't nearly as powerful as Samsung's flagship Galaxy S23 Ultra, it offers decent hardware for the price and a host of software goodies that help you make the most of the included stylus. But, given its budget-friendly price, it doesn't have the best build quality, so we highly recommend buying a protective case for the device.

Best cases for the Moto G Stylus (2023)

Pranob Mehrotra — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 17:00:19 GMT

If you're looking for a phone with a built-in stylus, Samsung's flagship Galaxy S23 Ultra is undoubtedly the best phone you can buy. But for those who don't want to spend over a thousand dollars on a new phone, the Moto G Stylus (2023) is a great, affordable alternative. It's a budget-friendly 4G device with MediaTek's Helio G85 chipset, a 6.5-inch 90Hz display, a large 5,000mAh battery, and, most importantly, a built-in stylus. While it isn't an active stylus like the S Pen, it's still great for quick note-taking. As we pointed out in our Moto G Stylus 2023 review, Motorola's software also includes some cool software tricks to give you access to handy tools like a screenshot editor, a GIF maker, a handwriting calculator, and more when you pull the stylus out of its silo.

Does the Motorola Razr+ have wireless charging?

Brady Snyder — Thu, 08 Jun 2023 22:00:20 GMT

Motorola is re-entering the North American foldable smartphone market with its Motorola Razr+, and it looks like an increasingly capable device. In a foldable space that has been dominated by Samsung, the Razr+ and Motorola have a chance to provide some much-needed competition. The company became the first to take full advantage of the cover screen on a clamshell foldable, which caught the eyes of fans and reviewers alike.

Best Motorola phones in 2023

Ben Sin — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 17:00:20 GMT

Motorola has evolved a lot as a brand, and it's had quite the journey over the years to find a comfortable spot in the market. It continues to have a special place in the heart of consumers for churning out a variety of phones. Motorola also has a strong footing in the United States with a diverse portfolio that includes both flagship and budget options. Plenty of Motorola phones have already made it to our collection of the best cheap phones and the best Android phones overall, but I wanted to highlight all the best Motorola phones separately to give you a better idea of what to expect from the brand's diverse portfolio in the U.S. Let's dive in!

Best cases for Moto G Power 2023

Timi Cantisano — Mon, 05 Jun 2023 09:00:19 GMT

The Motorola Moto G Power 2023 is one of the best cheap Android phones on the market right now, thanks to its excellent battery life and $280 price tag. While you can rock this phone without a case, why not invest in some protection to keep it going for as long as it can? Since the phone has been out for a few months, there are a lot of options when it comes to cases. I've rounded up some of the best available, giving clear choices, hopefully making it easier to choose one that's right for you.

The Motorola Razr+ might finally be the flip-style foldable I've been waiting for

Chris Wedel — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 12:30:16 GMT

It's finally happened, and after a fair bit of doubt from many, including myself, Motorola has announced new Razr foldables in the U.S. The company skipped North America in its Razr phone release cycle after 2020, with last year's Razr (2022) being a China-only device and then eventually making its way to Europe.

Motorola Edge+ 2023 vs OnePlus 11: Which flagship phone to buy in 2023?

Karthik Iyer — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 11:00:17 GMT

Motorola's Edge lineup of smartphones finally has a compelling Android flagship in the Edge+ (2023). It carries XDA's "Recommended" badge of approval, so we highly recommend considering it in 2023. It's not a flawless smartphone by any means, but it leaves very little room for complaints and is hard to fault, considering its asking price. Not only does it edge ahead of its predecessor, but it also stacks up very well against the similarly priced Galaxy S23 and the Pixel 7.

Best Motorola Edge+ (2023) screen protectors in 2023

Pranob Mehrotra — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 09:01:18 GMT

While the Motorola Edge+ (2023) might not be the absolute best Android phone on the market, it's still a very solid option in the sub-$800 price range that offers a smooth high refresh rate display, excellent battery life, lag-free performance, and a feature-rich software experience. Although Motorola has equipped the device with Gorilla Glass Victus display protection, we also recommend investing in a durable screen protector to keep it scratch free in the long run.

Best cases for the Motorola Edge+ (2023)

Karthik Iyer — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 01:00:18 GMT

The Motorola Edge+ (2023) is the company's newest slab-style flagship. It boasts impressive hardware in a sleek and stylish enclosure, and it's shaping up to be one of the best Android phones of 2023. I really like what Motorola is doing with its design to make it stand out while retaining the classic Moto aesthetic. It sports quad-curved panels on both the front and back for a classy look and a comfortable in-hand feel.

Motorola Razr 2023: Price, release date, and everything you need to know

Karthik Iyer — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 18:15:18 GMT

Motorola's 2023 Razr lineup has been in the news for quite some time now. There has been a steady flow of leaks and rumors over the last couple of months, especially since Lenovo CEO Yuanqing Yang confirmed the arrival of a new handset. We can finally put all the rumors and speculations to rest as the new Moto Razr and Razr+ foldables are officially here in the United States. That's right, we have two new flip phones that'll go toe-to-toe with Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5. You can't buy these phones flip phones in the U.S. market just yet, but they're starting to look pretty exciting. If you're equally thrilled about Motorola's 2023 Razr lineup and want to learn more about these phones before getting your hands on them, then you've come to the right place. Here's everything you need to know about the new Motor Razr and Razr+ 2023 models.

Hands on: Motorola's Razr+ is way better than I expected. Samsung should be scared.

Rich Woods — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 18:00:18 GMT

When I walked into the briefing room at this week's Motorola event, I jokingly asked Doug Michau, the company's executive director of North America business development, if he was excited to get a temporary reprieve from constantly being asked when there would be a new Razr. Indeed, the last one that we saw in the U.S. came out in 2020, and its 2022 successor was a China exclusive.

Motorola's new Razr and Razr+ give Samsung its first major Z Flip competition

Pranob Mehrotra — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 18:00:18 GMT

Leaked images of the next-gen Moto Razr first popped up back in February, giving us our first look at the massive new cover screen. Since then, we've learned quite a bit about the device, like its marketing name and hardware specifications. The rumor mill also alleged that Motorola had two Razr phones in the pipeline, including a cheaper model with a smaller cover screen. Motorola released a short video teasing the devices last month, and it has now finally lifted the covers off the new Motorola Razr (2023) and Razr+ (2023).

Best Moto G Play (2023) screen protectors in 2023

Oyewale Damilare — Thu, 01 Jun 2023 14:01:18 GMT

The Moto G Play (2023) is one of the best cheap Android phones you can buy. It has a two-day battery life, a decent display, a microSD slot for extended storage, a fingerprint scanner, and up to three years of security updates. This device also features the increasingly unpopular headphone jack and an IP52 water-repellent rating, all for just $170. While the lack of advanced features such as 5G, NFC, or exceptional cameras can be deal-breakers, there's no denying that it's a great phone for under $200.

Moto G (2023) vs Samsung Galaxy A14 5G: Which budget phone is worth your money?

Karthik Iyer — Wed, 31 May 2023 17:00:17 GMT

Motorola's G series phones have historically been one of the top contenders in the budget phone space. They offer worthwhile upgrades and a few nice-to-haves for a no-frills experience at around $300. That more or less sums up the new Moto G 5G (2023), which is cheaper and performs better than its predecessor. But the competition in the budget space is heating up as there are more budget options than ever from competing names like Samsung. The new Galaxy A14 5G, for instance, is one of the newest phones in the budget space that outperforms many others in its price range.

Motorola Edge+ (2023) vs Edge+ (2022): Which one edges ahead?

Joe Rice-Jones — Tue, 30 May 2023 14:01:18 GMT

The Motorola Edge+ (2023) could be the phone to bring the company back to competing against the best Android phones again. It’s powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, has a speedy 165Hz OLED display, and plenty of battery life. Motorola also priced it competitively this year, undercutting many other flagships, including the 2022 Edge+. But is the 2023 Motorola Edge+ enough improvement for existing owners to consider upgrading?

The Moto G Stylus gets a 5G avatar with more powerful hardware

Pranob Mehrotra — Tue, 30 May 2023 13:41:32 GMT

After unveiling the Moto G Stylus (2023) alongside the flagship Edge+ (2023) and the Moto G 5G earlier this month, Motorola has now launched a 5G version of its beloved stylus smartphone in the U.S. The device, aptly named Moto G Stylus 5G, is perfect for those who want an affordable smartphone with a built-in stylus that offers better performance than the regular Moto G Stylus (2023) and 5G support. The 5G variant packs a more powerful Qualcomm SoC with 5G capabilities, more capable cameras, and a better display, but it doesn't cost a whole lot more.

Moto G (2023) vs. Moto G (2022): A spec bump worth the upgrade?

Brady Snyder — Sun, 28 May 2023 17:01:18 GMT

Motorola's G-series of budget smartphones get more compelling every year, providing all the essentials at an affordable price. This year's Moto G (2023) is no different, but it might not be enough to warrant an upgrade over the Moto G (2022). Though it's clear that the Moto G (2023) is a more complete package as a budget smartphone in 2023 than its predecessor, it also shares a lot of similarities with that model. In some cases, the Moto G (2023) features changes that some might consider a step back, like a dual-camera system with a lower megapixel camera than the Moto G (2022).

Best chargers, cables, and accessories for the Motorola Edge+ (2023) in 2023

Karthik Iyer — Sun, 28 May 2023 01:00:19 GMT

The new Edge+ model has joined Motorola's 2023 smartphone lineup. It's a flagship device that's powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, and it comes with 8GB of RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. It's an easy recommendation for those who are in the market to buy a high-end phone under $1,000. Motorola also bundles its new Edge+ with a compatible fast charger with up to 68W power output. It's already a step above other manufacturers who don't bundle any accessories, but you can buy a host of other companion products to go with it that can improve your overall experience.

Motorola Edge+ (2023) vs Samsung Galaxy S23: Which flagship is better to buy?

Karthik Iyer — Sat, 27 May 2023 14:00:19 GMT

The Motorola Edge+ (2023) is the company's latest flagship smartphone that checks all the right boxes to go head-to-head with the best Android phones out there. It's equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a smooth 165Hz screen, and an impressive triple camera setup at the back. It's also priced competitively to undercut a lot of flagships by a significant margin, so it should definitely be on your list of phones to consider in 2023. It carries the same $800 price tag as the base variant of the Galaxy S23, so we decided to run a quick comparison and see how they stack up against each other. Let's a take look at the Motorola Edge+ (2023) vs Samsung Galaxy S23 match-up to find out which flagship smartphone is better to buy in 2023.

Motorola Edge+ (2023) vs Google Pixel 7: Which flagship smartphone to buy in 2023

Karthik Iyer — Fri, 26 May 2023 11:01:19 GMT

The Motorola Edge+ (2023) is one of the new flagship smartphones to enter the U.S. market. It offers a pretty solid package with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, a 6.7-inch 165Hz OLED panel, a 5,100mAh battery, and more. It does all that for $800, meaning it undercuts a lot of Android flagships out there in 2023. Google's Pixel 7 remains one of the few phones that costs less than what Motorola asks for its new Edge+ model, so I wanted to compare the two to see which one's better to buy in 2023. Both of these devices must be on your list of phones to consider if you're in the market for a new one. Let's look at the Motorola Edge+ (2023) vs Google Pixel 7 comparison to determine which is better to buy.

Motorola Edge+ 2023 review: Boring design aside, this is a flagship worth considering

Chris Wedel — Thu, 25 May 2023 13:00:19 GMT

Motorola is finally bringing a new flagship-level smartphone to the U.S. with the Edge+ (2023). I've reviewed a couple of Motorola's budget devices, the Moto G Play and Moto G Stylus, recently, but it has been quite a long time since I've had the chance to use a phone from the company that actually feels premium. The Edge+ (2023) is replacing last year's Motorola Edge+ with refreshed specs across the board and a more aggressive price point.

Moto G 5G (2023) review: A $250 mixed bag

Max Buondonno — Thu, 25 May 2023 13:00:19 GMT

Motorola’s success over the past few years has stemmed from the lower end of the smartphone market. It’s captured the attention of consumers and reviewers alike with devices that can be well-rounded while delivering on just the fundamentals, making for some of the best budget phones. The standard Moto G series specifically has been a contender in this part of the market, and the latest model for 2023 is no exception.

Skanda Hazarika — Thu, 18 May 2023 13:37:27 GMT

Motorola unveiled its 2023 flagship Edge 40 Pro back in April, and earlier this month the company followed up with the regular base model. The vanilla Edge 40 packs MediaTek’s Dimensity 8020 SoC, paired with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It’s pretty common for manufacturers to release new wallpaper collections when launching a handset, and the Edge 40 isn't an exception to the trend. Motorola included a few different wallpapers with this phone, and we have all of them available for download.

Motorola's upcoming foldable gets teased in a new video and will arrive on June 1

Timi Cantisano — Tue, 16 May 2023 19:26:58 GMT

Motorola is teasing its next smartphone release, offering a small glimpse at what could possibly be two new foldables arriving next month. Motorola has been quite busy so far this year, updating some of its best smartphones from last with new offerings like the top tier Moto Edge+, Moto G Power 5G, Moto G Stylus, and more. While these are all exciting in their own ways, foldable smartphones are what really generate buzz and Motorola looks like it's not here to disappoint. Although there's very little to go off at this point, we do know that the event is taking place on June 1, which luckily, is just around the corner.

How to manage storage on your Android phone

Brady Snyder — Tue, 16 May 2023 12:00:49 GMT

Smartphones serve a lot of critical functions in our lives, from being a quality camera to working with documents on the go. But all of these functions require some level of available storage space to work properly, and with file sizes growing constantly, storage fills up fast. Plus, most smartphones have ditched expandable storage options, meaning there aren't many ways to add storage to your phone after you've purchased it.

Motorola Edge+ is a good phone, but apparently not good enough for Verizon

Chris Wedel — Sun, 07 May 2023 15:01:17 GMT

I recently spent a couple of days in Chicago checking out some of the new phones that Motorola has on the way for 2023, which includes the new Moto G, G Stylus, and Edge+. While each device has its pros and cons, it seems that the long-tenured cellphone company is upping its game in the more premium smartphone space with the new Edge+. It has been quite some time since a flagship device from Motorola really piqued my interest, but here I am looking forward to giving this phone a go in daily use.

Motorola Moto G Stylus 2023 review: A task-specific device that gets the job done

Chris Wedel — Fri, 05 May 2023 13:00:16 GMT

Motorola has been making some of the best cheap Android phones for years now, and the Moto G Stylus 2023 aims to continue that trend. As one of the few smartphones in the budget category that offers a built-in stylus, Motorola has a chance to expand the reach of its devices to not only those who are short on cash but also want the ability to write on their phone. While it doesn't have the same prowess as something like the $1,200 Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, which also includes a stylus, it does have a place in the smartphone market.

Skanda Hazarika — Tue, 02 May 2023 15:00:17 GMT

The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra is possibly right around the corner, and we know quite a bit about it so far. Apart from the hardware configuration, we've seen renders of the cover display portion already, and at the time, we got a glimpse at what some of the UI elements on the secondary screen looked like, too. Now we have managed to get our hands on all of the wallpapers and several other theming elements for the upcoming foldable smartphone, and you can download them and set them on your device if you want.

These are the specs of Motorola's upcoming Razr 40 Ultra foldable

Adam Conway — Tue, 02 May 2023 14:31:31 GMT

Motorola has been working on another foldable Razr phone this year, and leaks and rumors have suggested that we may even see two devices soon. One would be a flagship, high-end model, and the other is more of a "lite" alternative. While we don't know a lot about the non-Ultra model, we have exclusive specifications to share from the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra.

Hands on: The Motorola Edge+ 2023 is ultra smooth with a 165Hz display

Chris Wedel — Tue, 02 May 2023 13:00:17 GMT

While we've already gotten the Moto G Play and Moto G Power 5G in 2023, Motorola isn't done yet. I was able to go hands-on with the latest devices from the long-time cell phone maker at its headquarters in Chicago, and this year's portfolio of smartphones is a full one. We're getting a new flagship device for North America with the Motorola Edge+, along with a new Moto G 5G and Moto G Stylus.

Motorola's top-of-the-line Edge+ 2023 is making its way to the U.S. along with two new Moto G smartphones

Pranob Mehrotra — Tue, 02 May 2023 13:00:17 GMT

Motorola launched its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 flagship, the Moto X40, in China towards the end of last year. In addition to Qualcomm's latest chipset, it featured a smooth 165Hz OLED display, an impressive rear-facing triple camera setup, an insane 60MP selfie shooter, and a massive 5,000mAh battery with 125W wired fast charging support. Months after its debut, Motorola has finally brought the device stateside under a different name and with a few minor changes. Along with the new Moto Edge+ 2023, the company has unveiled two budget-friendly Moto G series devices: the Moto G 5G 2023 and the Moto G Stylus 2023. Here's everything you need to know about the latest Motorola devices.

Motorola Moto G Power 5G (2023) review: Lots of power, but not where you need it most

Timi Cantisano — Mon, 01 May 2023 13:00:51 GMT

Motorola's Moto G Power line has always been about providing smartphones with excellent battery life. The trend continues with the latest version but adds marked improvements over its predecessor, like a 1080p display, 120Hz refresh rate, 5G connectivity, a better processor, and more. The previous Moto G Power was one of the best cheap Android phones available, so our expectations were high.

Timi Cantisano — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 16:18:41 GMT

Motorola's next foldable Razr has been confirmed by Lenovo CEO Yuanqing Yang, and while things have been kind of quite this past month, we've started to get teasers from the company in the lead up to its announcement. As we wait for an official announcement, we are now getting a good look at Motorola's upcoming Razr handset, the Razr 40 Ultra. The new leak shows off its massive cover display and also gives us a good idea on how customizing the cover will work.

ThinkPhone by Motorola review: Finally, a phone for ThinkPad stans

Rich Woods — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 13:00:16 GMT

The Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola, despite being a really strange branding decision, is a really good phone with some really smart features. It's designed for ThinkPad users, and the Lenovo-owned Motorola is finally starting to find ways to make its devices work with each other.

Motorola's upcoming Razr might have a large 3.5-inch cover screen

Kishalaya Kundu — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 16:14:11 GMT

Lenovo is expected to launch the Moto Razr 2023 later this year with an improved design and newer hardware that should make it a worthy competitor to the Galaxy Z Flip 4. It will be an upgrade over last year’s Moto Razr 2022, which never quite created enough buzz around it to compete on even terms against similar foldables from Samsung and Oppo. While there's not enough information on Moto’s next-gen Razr yet, Lenovo has confirmed one aspect that should already make it a major improvement over its predecessor, and that's a bigger cover display.

Best cases for Moto G Power (2022) in 2023

Karthik Iyer — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 21:00:16 GMT

The Moto G Power (2022) remains one of the best budget phones you can buy in 2023. The highlight of this phone is its 5,000mAh battery that can last you for days on a single charge. The Moto G Power delivers a nice package for less than $200, so it's hard to go wrong otherwise. This particular device is also built like a tank, but the matte-textured plastic back doesn't exactly scream quality. Thankfully you can cover the phone with a case that'll also protect it at the same time. If you are wondering which ones to buy, then here are the best cases for Moto G Power (2022).

Everything you need to know about Android Enterprise Recommended smartphones

Pranob Mehrotra — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 16:00:18 GMT

Timely software support from Android OEMs has long been a heated topic for Android enthusiasts. While Google has made some efforts in the last few years to coax manufacturers to provide better software support, it can't completely fix the issue without directly impacting the openness of Android as an ecosystem. However, when it comes to Android phones for businesses, the company takes strict measures to ensure businesses get reliable software support from OEMs through its Android Enterprise Recommended (AER) program.

Android hidden codes: All the custom dialer codes and what they do

Skanda Hazarika — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Google has numerous hidden features inside its Android OS. Besides the venerable Android version-specific Easter eggs, it is also possible to utilize custom dialer codes to access a plethora of apps and settings that are otherwise unreachable for regular users. Some of these codes are universal, which means you'll get the desired output on any device, whether it's a cheap budget phone or one of the best Android phones. Having said that, custom OEM skins (like One UI by Samsung and MIUI by Xiaomi) and carrier-customized models often come with their own set of hidden codes.

The next Motorola Razr seems to look a lot like Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 4

Charlie Fripp — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 11:27:07 GMT

Motorola’s parent company Lenovo confirmed earlier this year that a new Razr flip-phone is in the works, but according to leaks, there is another model on the cards. The Razr Lite 2023 is apparently a more affordable phone with a similar clam-shell design to the already-leaked Razr Plus 2023, and it looks even more like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Android 13 custom ROM list: How to unofficially update your smartphone

Skanda Hazarika — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 15:00:17 GMT

Ever since it first started rolling out for Pixel phones, Android 13 has made its way to a number of devices. Although Google has already laid the groundwork for Android 14, many OEMs are still updating their devices to Android 13. If you haven't received it yet, then an official OTA may be underway and is set to come to your phone in the near future. Of course, custom ROMs are also an option, especially if you have a relatively older device that is no longer supported by its maker.

Motorola’s powerful new flagship rivals the Galaxy S23 Ultra in nearly all ways but one

Timi Cantisano — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 11:00:17 GMT

Motorola has announced its latest smartphone, the Edge 40 Pro. The handset offers top-of-the-line specifications like a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, a large curved pOLED display, a triple camera setup on the rear, and so much more. But will the Edge 40 Pro be good enough to become one of the best Android smartphones in 2023?

The rumored Motorola Edge 40 Pro is shaping up to be an impressive 2023 flagship

Timi Cantisano — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 01:38:36 GMT

Motorola isn't exactly know for its high-end smartphones, and although it does produce flagship level devices pretty much every year, most releases tend to get overlooked. But from what we've been seeing and hearing about the Motorola Edge 40 Pro, this could end up becoming a strong contender for one of the best Android smartphones to come out this year. While we have seen it in previous leaked renders, we're now getting some information about its specifications, and for the most part, this handset is looking like a beast.

As of now, there is no official word on when this handset will arrive or its price.

Timi Cantisano — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 20:49:52 GMT

The Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola was first announced at the start of the year, getting a full reveal at this year's CES. While the specification for the handset isn't all that exciting for a phone being released in 2023. But if there's a silver lining to the handset, and that is its external design elements and materials are quite nice, with the company making use of an aircraft-grade aluminum for the frame, aramid fiber for the back panel, and utilizing Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus on its display. If all of that wasn't enough, the handset does have an IP68-rating and MIL-STD 810H certification.

New leak shows off Motorola flagship ahead of its release

Timi Cantisano — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 03:05:26 GMT

While we don't hear much about Motorola in the news when compared to other smartphone manufacturers, they've been fairly consistent when it comes to releasing handsets over the past few years — most of which seem to just fly under the consumer radar. Despite this, the company still manages to release at least one flagship level handset each year, giving those interested a chance to purchase the best of what the company has to offer.

Motorola confirms new Razr for 2023

Timi Cantisano — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 17:55:16 GMT

Motorola has been causing a commotion at this year's Mobile World Congress, first with its rollable smartphone's debut, then with the Lenovo foldable laptop. But it looks like things are getting a bit more exciting behind closed doors, as Lenovo's CEO has confirmed in an interview that a new Razr will be making its way to customers in 2023.

We saw Motorola's new RIZR rollable concept phone, and it makes foldables look old-fashioned

Adam Conway — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 13:47:36 GMT

Foldable phones are so last generation, and companies are starting to test out rollable devices. TCL tested one a couple of years ago, and companies like LG were said to be developing them behind closed doors, too. Now Motorola is here to play and had one to show off at this year's Mobile World Congress.

Motorola Defy 2 is an affordable Android smartphone that features two-way satellite communication

Timi Cantisano — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 20:50:09 GMT

Motorola has once again partnered with Bullitt Group to bring another two-way satellite communication device to market. While its first collaboration with Motorola was the Defy Satellite Link, this time, we're getting something a bit more interesting with the Defy 2 Android smartphone. This will be one of the first relatively affordable Android satellite smartphones on the market, beating out the likes of Samsung, OnePlus, and others.

Motorola Defy Satellite Link brings two-way satellite communication to iOS and Android devices for just $99

Timi Cantisano — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 15:26:42 GMT

When Apple launched satellite service with its iPhone 14 line, many assumed that other manufacturers would immediately follow suit, but that actually hasn't been the case. Samsung launched its Galaxy S23 series without the feature, and we have yet to see it pop on other new Android handsets released over the past few weeks. But, that doesn't mean you soon won't be able to add the feature to your existing devices thanks to the newly announced Motorola Defy Satellite Link.

It's been a while since we last saw something exciting from Motorola.

Well, it looks like that could soon change, as a new leak shows us a foldable flip smartphone with an amazing front cover that's mostly all display.

LineageOS 20 adds support for OnePlus 9R, Sony Xperia 5 II, and more

Skanda Hazarika — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 23:41:48 GMT

Custom ROM projects like LineageOS can be a fantastic way to give another lease on life to an aging device, like we saw with the Pixel 2 series and its ability to run Android 13, all thanks to an official build of LineageOS 20. Luckily, you don't have to wait for the manufacturer to drop support before you start tinkering with custom ROMs, as they're just as good for trying out a more modern phone with some heavy OEM skin. This is somewhat the situation today, as we check out the new LineageOS 20 plans for a few relatively recent devices.

Motorola Moto G Stylus 2023 render leaks, giving us a look at what's to come

Timi Cantisano — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 14:38:52 GMT

Motorola isn't exactly known for producing the most exciting handsets on the market, but it does offer a wide range of devices, and often has them priced far less than its competitors. But there is one stand out in its lineup, offering something that can only typically found on flagship models, and that's the Motorola G Stylus. Since the handset's inception, it has offered a stylus and this is something that's quite rare in the mobile phone space. Of course, the phone is more than just its stylus, and luckily, for fans, it looks like the company is readying a successor to last year's model.

Moto G Play (2023) review: A former budget king struggles to remain relevant

Chris Wedel — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 14:00:16 GMT

Admittedly it has been quite a while since I have spent a significant amount of time with a budget smartphone, and the last time I used a Motorola device was the Moto Z Play from 2016. Going into my review of the new Moto G Play (2023), I knew I'd have to temper my expectations for how the device would perform as my daily driver after using high-end flagships like the Pixel 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. So, how did the budget-minded Moto G Play (2023) fare? About as expected.

LineageOS 20 now supports the Poco X3, Xiaomi Mi 6, Mi Mix 2, and the SHIFT SHIFT6mq
