Motorola Moto Edge 20 Fusion 5G (128GB/8GB, Electric Graphite)

Bit of a slow start with this phone - it kept full resetting the time and not connecting to data when I left the house. However there has since been a system update and things appear to be running a lot better.The battery is amazing, cannot fault the battery at all and the fast charge is handy.The back cameras produce really nice photos but default set to 12 MP to save space on the phone. You can adjust this manually. The front camera does seems to make everything weird colours as the default setting, I have been meaning to look into it but I don't take photos with the front camera enough to be bothered.In summary, it is a good phone - just some of the default settings are questionable.

I had my previous phone for five years. It was a Nokia 6.1. While I was generally pleased with the Nokia the battery life started to wane and 32GB of memory was not proving enough. even with extra storage. As I always try a different brand of Android phone. So far I have had Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC One, LG G4, and Nokia 6.1. This time I thought I would try the Motarola egde 20 fusion 5G(2021). The price was right for me and the specification was what I was looking for. I have not been dissapointed. Battery life is excellent, phone is quick. My benchmark app is the COVID tracer app. The Nokia would leave me standing waiting for the app to open or the QR code to scan. Easy peasy with the Edge 20. After using it for three weeks I can say the camera is good. Battery life ... MoreI had my previous phone for five years. It was a Nokia 6.1.

Constant battle of comprising

Have used this phone for 6 months now ; and I cannot put it in words how frustrating is to keep fighting with this phone.Turn on Bluetooth, your download speed drops to 20MB/s on wifi and 5G.Take photo with even zoom 2x and you will get nothing, boxes instead of birds.Low quality audio on Bluetooth.Extremely difficult, nightmare to use two Sim cards. You have to switch Sim cards in settings to make phone call with different Sim cards. It does not even have galley view app.It's launcher is annoying, of course we can buy good a launcher app for 15 dollars, but the phone should not come with such a broken launcher.Yes, its battery life is good, but not because it has an efficient processor or display. Its good battery life is because of its super aggressive ... MoreHave used this phone for 6 months now ; and I cannot put it in words how frustrating is to keep fighting with this phone.Turn on Bluetooth, your download speed drops to 20MB/s on wifi and 5G.Take photo with even zoom 2x and you will get nothing, boxes instead of birds.Low quality audio on Bluetooth.Extremely difficult, nightmare to use two Sim cards.

Its good battery life is because of its super aggressive killing app behaviour. You would not get all notifications because this phone keeps killing background apps and does not allow you to exclude all apps from being killed in background, and even if you do, it still kills apps you have not opened for couple of times every week.The screen colour are eye soaring. The display doesn't even get bright enough to make it easy to see outside.Not all apps works on this phone.Photos with no zoom, are at the best mediocre.

Could be worse, but definitely not good

Both my husband and myself have had this phone for a few months now. We bought it because, from reading reviews, it seemed to be incredible value for a fairly reasonable price.... It's not. The camera on paper sounds good, but the photos are almost always blurry unless you hold the phone incredibly still - even the movement from pressing the capture button can easily blur it. It takes time to focus, lighting is out of whack... Just not good.The wifi drops in and out constantly, a notification displays at the bottom of the screen when the wifi drops out, and then again when it reconnects. This notification covers the space bar if you are typing so you can't type until it dismisses itself, because it can't be dismissed manually. I've had to stop maybe half a dozen ... MoreBoth my husband and myself have had this phone for a few months now.

I've had to stop maybe half a dozen times while writing this review. I have other devices using the wifi at home without issue, so it's not my internet.The sensor while on calls isn't great so I often will mute or hang up while speaking to people as my cheek touches the screen. My husband can't put his phone on speakerphone when he RECEIVES calls because then his microphone doesn't work and the caller can't hear him. This doesn't happen when he's the one making the call, nor when he is NOT using speakerphone so I'm guessing it's a glitch, but frustrating nonetheless. He also does not get enough reception at work to be able to use his mobile data. His previous phone (an Oppo) he had no issues with this at all in the same location.I'm sure there's more issues that I can't think of at this moment but I would say buyer beware with this phone. If you're willing to risk it, by all means buy it, but if you can't afford to potentially replace this phone in a few months - then don't buy it. I wish we never did.

Good phone with a major flaw

I've had the Motorola Edge for a year now and with-in that time the charger port has become loose twice. The port is the now standard USB-C.It only took a few months for the problem to occur and while it was still under warranty, the fact it keeps happening is disheartening.As a phone it is speedy and has a great battery life.However it isn't programmed with a proper photo viewer/editor and relies on Google Photos or other third parties to do so, which is odd considering the camera app partially has these features.When I got, the phone I was happy with it but now I have buyers remorse.Would recommend the Samsung A23 instead. Similar phone but with harder charge port.

Got this on promo and I adore it

My last phone was the pixel 2xl kept with it til eventually camera has died. Saw new pixel had a lot of unhappy reviews from long time fans so was looking for an alternative.Googled literally the word 'phone' and bam. Top of the list was this phone on promo. Read the reviews, saw the promo price, checked in store, took photos and was happy with it not as awful as people say and yes sure bit blurry if you don't steady it but for the price? I'm happy to keep my hands a bit steadier aight! Also after software update it is heaps better. I'll upload some of the first photo worthy pictures with the phone, been too busy since to go anywhere mobile photography worthy but it's lovely! Maybe full price yeah probably not but I got it half off at the time so very happy with ... MoreMy last phone was the pixel 2xl kept with it til eventually camera has died.

Maybe full price yeah probably not but I got it half off at the time so very happy with this :) but yes a bit blurry at times if not holding it right lol and also dependant on lighting but spec wise for running apps this phone has been fantastic!!! No complaints there at allA friend (also coming off pixel but 4) is thinking of getting a new phone and I'd like to recommend this one as I've had a g experience, saw the negative reviews here and thought I'd leave a g one as at full price I would also be unhappy but when on promo? I'd say it's great value

Hardware is great on paper for the price, but.....

As others mention the camera is terrible. Slow and lags, colours and quality are off. The developers know this from complaints and still have not released an update for the camera app. The phone itself is unstable and freezes, apps hang and it randomly restarts. This is not an isolated issue and Motorola/Lenovo know about this. Even after upgrade to Android 13 nothing has changed.

Massive WiFi Issues

Phone was so frustrating I ended up selling within a few months. Do not buy this phone, the WiFi will consistently drop out and there is no fix.Drop down does not allow drop-down quick bluetooth connect - this might seem small but I disconnect and connect to multiple BT devices daily and it's really annoyingBluetooth audio does not start automatically when jumping in the car, despite this option being enabled on the phone.The camera is very bad. It's rare the phone takes a decent photo and generally it has to be very bright lighting and landscape.JB weren't interested in a refund for this phone - do not buy.

Terrible bug-ridden phone

Everything the previous poster said here I experienced as well, and more.The phone consistently drops out of WiFi. I would say every minute it reconnects, making using the internet an absolute nightmare.BlueTooth has other weird issues including connection issues and not displaying song information. There are also Android Auto issues.The phone kept waking while in my pocket, changing songs and making calls. Frustrating.The camera is worse than my old 2014 Motorola, the photos are dull and blurry. Absolutely terrible.You can google any of what I just said and find many users with the same problems.There are much better phones out there, stay clear of Motorola.

Unbeatable Value

When the price on this phone dropped, I bought one to replace my Samsung, which has a cracked back and a fingerprint sensor that has never ever worked.This is a large phone but not too large for me to easily handle. Included in the box is a slip on case, charger, USB C lead and wired headphones. Full marks to Lenovo for not skimping.As with all Android phones there is a lot of Google's bloatware, but after disabling and uninstalling all that I could, the phone has good speed. I have never found it to be slow or laggy. The screen is not AMOLED, but it is OK. In sunlight you'll need to crank up the brightness. The fingerprint sensor works first time every time; take note Samsung.Call quality is loud and clear. NFC works just fine with Google Pay. The only thing ... MoreWhen the price on this phone dropped, I bought one to replace my Samsung, which has a cracked back and a fingerprint sensor that has never ever worked.This is a large phone but not too large for me to easily handle.

The only thing it lacks is wireless charging, and I really don't miss it.I've got to say that it performs as well or better than phones costing four times as much.
