      68w charging: HIGH-voltage & HIGH-temperature degrade battery fast, compare to say 3W-charger 😇

            No obvious scent, but maybe a tiny hint of a floral smell? The box has been sitting for 7 months so maybe it faded or was pretty minimal to begin with

        If you enable it, then yes. Helps if you read the prompts! There's a "feature" where it will install 3 new apps for you to try every so often (can't remember frequency). I noped out of that!

        Mobile comes heavily scented with cologne, needing over a week to air off and wipe down with alcohol.

        Can't say I noticed any smell to it apart from typical "new phone smell"™️

            @mr_asstight: Can't find it, sorry.

            It popped up after a system update I believe. Definitely Motorola, and it was prompting me to allow it to install 3 "curated" apps every month or something. I told it no thanks. Can't remember any specifics sorry. Been through my settings and apps and can't find anything for it either. It could be in one of the Motorola apps (i.e. Smart Connect) that I can't open since I'm not giving it the permissions it wants. Web search and AI both haven't helped…

      • witheredcouch on 07/07/2025 - 16:42
        +1

        I just got it, there is the scent, can agree with that. I disabled Moto App manager which stopped it from trying to install games, and I am not particularly sensitive to PWM flicker so the last one is not relevant.

    • bhuddz on 07/07/2025 - 09:14

      Just tried price matching via live chat on JB's website & was advised they could not price match due to HN having limited stock. Told them I could still add it to cart etc. They still didn't care and told me to buy it from HN since it's a good deal. I'm annoyed they wouldn't price match but maybe someone else will have better luck, possibly in store?

      • Wonderfool on 07/07/2025 - 09:19

        That's crazy. It's limited stock cause it sold out. When I bought it last night, every shop in the area has it

        • bhuddz on 07/07/2025 - 09:26

      • MeatyOne on 07/07/2025 - 10:31

        JB is getting really bad with their price match. I've had them on 3 occasions lately refuse to price match items that are being sold by some of the biggest retailers in the country. They used to be good but the halo of price match is starting to tarnish.

      One every 3 months it looks like. I went to their forums and made a fuss about being. Stuck with factory security patch (September 2024) and they added IMEI to some updates, since then one every 3 months.

      Feb 2025 :security

    • Wonderfool on 07/07/2025 - 08:12

      Man, I chose this phone because it looked like it doesn't have curve, but it does as well?

      I hate that palm rejection algorithm is still so bad. I can't play slay the spire on my Samsung phone because of poor palm rejection on it. I've gotten used to using it on day to day life but it still comes up with problems from time to time.

      Curved screen sucks.

        Screen is not curved. It's on a hard 90° angle. The included case doesn't cover the sides so you may accidentally touch the screen just by holding the sides.

        It says USB-C 2.0 in the specs, so looking unlikely unfortunately. But I know Samsung Dex on my old Tab S4 could do it and that was 2.0 instead of 3.1, so maybe there's a proprietary Motorola tool for that?

        The ability to store an extra physical SIM the same way you can store multiple eSIMs doesn’t have to make it a triple SIM phone.
        It would just mean you could optionally have 2 x physical, 2 x eSIM, or 1 x physical + 1 x eSIM active at a time

    I always buy a premium phone, iphone, galaxy etc.. but it really makes you wonder on the value when you get all this for $299 inclusive of a 68w charger and cable.. meanwhile im spending $1000-$2200 on a phone that has none on the premise we are helping the environment… but find myself needing to be chargers privately.

    • Wonderfool on 07/07/2025 - 09:14
      +3

      Honestly, it's been hard to choose premium phone for a few years now. They keep introducing features that don't really matter. Is 120hz smooth? Yes. Will you forget about it after using for a day? Also yes.

      Now they're adding AI features, and while they're cool, they're impractical and unreliable. Post saved photo portrait mode will only save you from downloading Snapseed. I've been experimenting with RAG to make documents for work, and that hallucinates numbers despite that I've explicitly given it the numbers needed for the situation.

      Meanwhile, phone prices is sky high. So I'm glad this neo is massively discounted.

    • Gordzirra on 07/07/2025 - 09:18

      Exactly.. same.. adding billions to Samsung's and Apple etc profits when there seems to be a lot of mid range choices these days. I don't use mine for anything resource intensive like gaming or running a thousand things at once tho the tsmarena camera review was pretty bad we all take lots of photos not that I'm a professional but I bought it anyway lol

      • crentist on 07/07/2025 - 10:07
        +1

        Was it a bad review? Seems fine to me, they weren't very critical of it.
        The camera is good. Not current flagship level, but I've compared with iPhone 13 and this is better. Daylight photos are pretty similar, and at night this is much brighter and clearer.
        Plus it has an extra lens.
        Even against a Pixel 9 Pro Fold, it's pretty close.

    • dqtl74 on 07/07/2025 - 09:29
      +5

      Budget and midrange phones have definitely closed the gap with flagships in the past few years. If you didn't read reviews where they show benchmark numbers (which don't matter for the majority of people), you probably wouldn't even realise the difference. Cameras are one area where flagships will still pull ahead, no doubts there. Whether the image quality is worth the price increase is up to the individual. I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but having a good camera is still something I weigh heavily when shopping for a new device.

      Unfortunately for me, after a lifetime of using flagships, the placebo effect of having the "best" will leave me unable to ever consider a midranger.

    • capslock on 07/07/2025 - 09:37

      They can ditch the premium casings for a start. It adds no value and just adds to weight. Plastic is fine. For me anyway.

    • starbearer on 07/07/2025 - 10:34
      +1

      Completely agree. I really care about a headphone jack as I use it heavily. And every premium phone now skips it, but generally mid-range ones do have it.

      You'd think that if you're paying 2-3x the amount of a mid-range, you should get everything that the mid-range offers and then some.

      I brought the G75 recently and sorta slightly regretting it if this deal popped up earlier it would've been hard to make a decision.

      Find the G75 really big and kinda appreciating smaller sized phones now
      The fingerprint sensor on screen on the Neo 50 is really nice.

    Any one knows if this has its own Gallery App?
    Moto G54 doesn't have (or I can't find it in app gallery) where I can go and look for pictures (except when using the camera).

      I would have assumed it uses Google Photos?

      I just got an Edge 50 Neo and it uses Google Photos as far as i can tell. Maybe look for "Photos" not "Gallery"?
