feels nice in the hand, i’ve never even thought curved edge screens as a negative, but then use laptop and keyboards or tablet if i’m stuff for extended periods. Growing up before smart phones probably means i dont see it as my primary piece of tech, more mobile convenience.
Feel and look nicer? More 'premium' aesthetic?
Is there a problem with curved edges?
Yes, if you try to click into the corner especially if you have a case
Only one (maybe two?) real problems, palm rejection and corner sensitivity can be hell.
But also they tend to be more expensive to replace and often weaker at the edges where they 'thin out'.

Ah I see. Is that Motorola-specific - or typical of all curved screens?
Either way, it's enough to deter me from this phone at this price, given all the other issues I've had with my Edge 30.
the issue is: in most cases the element to close the Ad is exactly in the corner and each time I click I miss it and click on the Ad instead :(
@kanu666: tbf I have that issue on a flat screen phone!
I've long suspected that the 'x' close button on the ad doesn't work until you've tapped several times.
in other country its available for $500 for 256 gb.
which country
other
India
well yea it's marked up here ofc
Previous model Motorola Edge 50 Pro is now $599 at HN too.
I feel there will be one more decent price drop on Motorola flagships before the end of the year.
Considering the Edge 50 Pro is 18 months old and the last of the promised three updates will (if it follows the trend of previous series) be buggy and unfixed, I don't know if it that's a good deal at all really.
If they are prompt with their updates, you could potentially only get just over a year's good use before little things start to get annoying or go wrong. Ironically, Motorola can take so long to release updates, you may get an extra year (Edge 40 family is still waiting for Android 15 updates!) before they rush out the final one and ditch support.
Battery is only three-quarters the size of the Edge 60 Pro too.
Picked up one yesterday and if you put it on 36 months latitude interest free you will get a free $50 Harvey Gift Voucher. I have upgraded from my 3 year old Edge 30 Ultra which has been a damn good phone. Unfortunately the battery is starting to struggle now.
Same here, my 30 Ultra is dying:
Bettery but also haptic vibro motor.
Did you have issues with vibration on your 30 Ultra? And how does this new one feels in comparison? TBH I'd prefer Snapdragon Vs Mediatek
will this new one also begin to die in 3 yrs
All batteries typically do if heavily drained and charged daily.
With 6k mAh, odds are it'll degrade but still be a usable level.
mine started after 2 years actually
It might be interest free for the cost of the phone but do Latitude sting you a fee every month?
Looking quickly on the Latitude website it looks like the credit card fee costs you $10.95 per month which would negate the value of the $50 HN gift card pretty quickly - maybe I've got it wrong?

Battery Li-ion: extend life by observe & manage,
a.Temperature…< 45°C
b.Volts…< 4.3V
Install AccuBattery-APP & see-it for yourself.
90W fast charging is killing your battery faster. 6000mAh bigger battery tries to compensate. The industry/Motorola is prioritising convenience over longevity.
Read widely & the above-criteria is being practice by electric-vehicles: can't defy Li-ion chemistry.
Fact-checked & proof: my Motorola 5000mAh capacity is 92% after 20 months use…likely that I use my mobile-phone more than you, https://ibb.co/216yCTpQ

why would i install accubattery ,😂😂💀💀
Do Motorolas come with stock Android or massive bloatware?
just bad camera software really
I don't know if they have fixed it, but from Android 12 to 14 (at least) you need to manually turn off HDR every time you open the app. A well-reported issue than Motorola did nothing about.
Also, this might be phone specific, but my Edge 30 (which had Snapdragon chipset), glitches every second or two if I try to record videos for more than a few minutes (even at 1080p 30fps). Once, the flicker starts you need to restart the phone to temporarily get rid of it.
you can install GCam
That would be great if true - I might be able to use it with my watch too.
Have you done this? It doesn't appear in the Play store, and from what I have read around the Internet, it can be a bit laggy and unreliable?
GCam ports generally suck
Motorola's are very close to stock Android. They have some genuinely useful tweaks too - such as MotoGestures (double chop for torch, twist for camera, flip to silence and so on).
However, my three year old phone stopped has stopped getting updates. The last OS update (to Android 14) is pretty buggy and won't be fixed - it's like Motorola promised two OS updates, rolled them out and said "Promise fulfilled, job done" despite the issues.
These are things like Bluetooth connectivity - I often can't discover or connect to new devices (or even old ones via new apps), battery usage apps, removed features from the camera app, and added a MotoLauncher (I think that's the culprit) app sends you notifications for unwanted "recommended" apps which you can only disable by losing notifications and functions for the Moto apps you have. Also, the newly added Gemini Assistant has a short cut which I somehow frequently activate by accident (often when doing the torch chop).
A change to the phone app interface minimises it as soon as you dial which means I start every conversation with, "Hold on a second, I just need to change a setting.." as I swipe around to bring the app back up just to press the speaker button.
Maybe Android 15 fixes those, but at the end of the support life (extended to three OS updates now - still less than half of what Samsung and Google promise) expect the last 'update' to just be rolled out to tick a box and support to abruptly stop.
I was reading reviews on this Edge 60 Pro last night - apparently MotoAI is poor, Gemini is still equippped - so there is some uneccesary duplication.
Hrmm damn was just looking at this to replace a one month old nothing phone 3a. I don't hate this phone but the width is annoying and the camera is awful (and never loved the idea it's ip65 only)
Why does Motorola insist on curve edge screens..
