I have one of the Moto Edges, can’t say I have many complaints outside of the slow charging and a dead pixel that developed a year in.

The edges didn’t bother me as much as I thought it would, I can even use it as trigger to play Citra games which I couldn’t do with a flat phone so that was nifty. Clean software, long battery life, but terrible update schedule though.

    I had a Moto X Style (Moto X Pure, Moto X 3rd gen) and moto x4. I still have the latter.

    The X Style had a 1440p screen, rubber back, dual front-facing speakers and infrared motion sensors on the front so that you would wave your hand over the phone to wake the screen to quickly glance the time or your notifications. It also had always-on Moto voice assistant and allowed you to set custom voice activation prompts. I had mine set to “Ok Jarvis”.

    Unfortunately the display it had was extremely unreliable and faced horrible ghost touches. I got it replaced twice and both replacements ended up having the same issue after a while.

    I switched to a different phone after the X Style, and then once that phone died I got the x4.

    The x4 is very bare-bones in comparison, but it’s the first phone that hasn’t died on me/been killed by me. Nearly 4 years later it still carries on, despite some yellowing on the edges of the screen.

    I’m on a Pixel 6a now. I miss the Moto quick gestures, especially “double chop” for flashlight.
