I’ve been testing the $549.99 model with 128GB of internal storage, which is otherwise identical to the $599.99 256GB version. It’s too bad the screen is relatively dim, so I have to set its screen brightness to about 90 to 100 percent for indoor and outdoor use - any dimmer than that and I’d have trouble reading text in direct sunlight. The high refresh rate makes it a breeze to scroll through Twitter and move my pokémon around in Pokémon Unite. The highlight of the Moto Edge has to be its 144Hz display, even though it’s just a 1080p, 6.8-inch LCD panel. The Moto Edge 5G UW (2021)’s LCD screen has a whopping 144Hz refresh rate that is a pleasure to use. It’s louder than you’d expect and turns up the bass by default, so you can really hear the percussive beats in Succession’s theme song. For a $500 phone, it only has a mono speaker that blasts from the bottom of the phone. Its volume rocker and two-in-one fingerprint sensor and power button are on its right side. Like the Pixel 6 and OnePlus 9, the Moto Edge doesn’t have a dedicated Google Assistant button or a 3.5mm audio jack anywhere. This, combined with its slick back cover, means the Moto Edge is prone to randomly slide off tables and other surfaces, so you’ll want to protect it with a case.

While their raised edges protect the lenses from scratches, that extra height means the phone can’t really lie flat on the table when the screen is facing up - it ends up rocking side to side. The rims around the three rear camera lenses remind me of those on the iPhone 13. Its nicely curved edges and back make this phone a pleasure to hold, but that also means its very glossy back cover is a cesspool of smudges and dust.

Despite its all-plastic body, the phone weighs about as much as an iPhone 13 Pro at 0.44lbs (200g or 7.11oz). That said, it’s just a touch too tall for my fingers to maneuver around the screen and hold the phone in the same hand. It’s a big phone at 6.65 x 2.97 x 0.35 inches, but it’s skinny and thin enough for one-handed use. The Moto Edge is all about the monochromatic look, splashing the same “nebula blue” all over the phone - from the buttons to the plate underneath the camera array. The rims around the Moto Edge 5G UW (2021)’s camera lenses remind me of the iPhone 13’s. The Edge’s biggest crime is that it’s just too middling. In practice, though, the high-megapixel count camera is not as great as it sounds, and its 5,000mAh battery can drain too quickly, but these aren’t even its worse offenses. It has a rare 144Hz refresh rate LCD display, 108-megapixel main camera, 6GB RAM, and the ability to project its screen to a larger display through its Samsung DeX-like “Ready For” mode. Given how good a phone the Pixel 6 is, the Moto Edge has its work cut out.Īs a midrange phone, the Edge has some impressive specs and features on paper.

That’s twice as much storage for the same price as an unlocked Pixel 6, plus the Edge supports Verizon’s fast-but-limited millimeter wave (mmWave) network. The Verizon-locked Moto Edge starts at $549.99 for a 128GB model, and you can double that storage for $599.99, which is $200 cheaper than the unlocked version sold in retail stores.

Timing is everything, and unfortunately for Motorola, any review of the new Moto Edge 5G UW boils down to this one question: how does it compare with the Google Pixel 6? After all, not only did the Verizon variant arrive in stores on October 14th, 2021, just five days before the Google Pixel 6’s launch, it even ended up with near-identical prices as the Google flagship.
