      The Motorola Edge 70 clearly outperforms the Redmi Note 17 Pro. While the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 isn't a flagship processor, it still delivers far better performance than the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4

      Pretty average, they have the numbers but the image processing is far lacking compared to the big players.

                but tbh i mostly just use phone for web browsing and video n social media plus necessary admin apps etc so honestly still potentially worth w that battery life

    Sooo I really want that xiaomi,

    Compared to my current Pixel 7 Pro ( Tensor G2) 128gb

    and old Poco F3/Mi 11i, Snapdragon 870/888

    Wonder which games better w this sd 6s gen 4

    I'm assuming with it being 4nm, and being considered mid range chip,

    Hoping it excels in general usage and video playback with longer battery life?

        sussing out this vid rq.

        Well to be honest I can still use my pixels and usually I carry two phones anyway.
        My P7 Pro is already struggling with the phone dying or being like 50% after 2/3 hrs… or half a day out?

        Need to charge it or put it, has 200+ cycles on it and slightly feels it runs hot easily, feeling like the same problem w my old xiaomi phones now 😭.
        Hence feeling like need new phone haha.

            then it all went oos but slightly a bit more outta budget than I'd like.

            Was considering these xiaomis the big new batteries should be nice I'm bored of pixel software and the 128gb storage now

      Dont go for this Xiaomi Redmi if you want use it for Gaming, its a very bad processor. Can be used for very light gaming but still expect stutters and lags.

      This isnt a midrange, it far worse than it

    Hey guys DO NOT get the Note 17 pro, have just returned one. The camera is borderline unusable (constant stuttering, not gonna wait for an update that might not come) and it's not easily fixed with using alternative camera apps. For a modern phone it's pretty unacceptable. It's a shame as the phone ran less smoothly (camera and otherwise) than my 5+ year old Redmi Note 9 Pro (this is with a debloating pass). I'd avoid.

    • Rey Media on 04/10/2026 - 07:35

      I second that. I got this from Amazon and requested a return the next day. Lots of bloat ware, more then what I expected. I use wireless android auto and this phone struggled. It's fine for just navigating but the moment you add music or receive a call, it lags and at one point the connection dropped out completely only to reconnect moments later.

        Yeha that sucks,

        I hate how some of these new phones feel i agree.

        I remember Android 9 on my Poco F1 felt amazing and with plenty of really cool and light features.

        I remember playing rocket league sideswipe and having splitscreen and other stuff and it ran for hours.

        Felt super fast but yeah now i also got a Poco f3 and that phone battery is fried, always runs hot, and homescreen etc super buggy.

    Motorola NEVER again. (Purchased Motorola Edge 40 in Australia in a normal retail store) Before Android 14: 1) When auto refresh rate was selected phone would lag DAILY, had to set to 120 locked. 2)Phone would heat up constantly 3)Auto adaptive intelligent charge never worked it would just say charging started charging stopped 10 times per second 4) The volume control was SO laggy would take 10 seconds just to recognise had to disable some obscure setting to make it work again after many months. Learnt to live with the rest. After Android 15 - 1) Some shortcuts not showing icons 2)Phone still lagged and the deal breaker which made me leave 3)The rear view camera JUST STOPPED WORKING BUT it would work in messenger and google/ microsoft lens, but not the stock camera app or viber whats app etc. Starting the default cam app would just show the selfie camera and when selecting the rear the phone cam app would just exit out and crash. Made the phone useless couldn't take personal shots or use the cam for work either. Useless software/android quality control made a perfectly good 2 year old phone useless. I went back to Xiaomi/Poco and my Poco F8 Pro is FLAWLESS thank god feels like I've come back home. NEVER will buy a motorola again no matter how cheap it is… All my xiaomi phones are rock solid, a blazing fast and just work. I was buying them from banggood for a while, until they went a bit smaller. I deviated and got that Motorola Edge 40 but never again. It was OK for a little but then all the problems started appearing. Now getting several phones from AliExpress and all working great. The Poco F8 Pro I prefer the slightly better pocketability as compared to the Ultra…

    I have the Motorola Edge 70 and the Motorola Edge 50 Neo. I prefer the Edge 50. The battery lasts longer, the screen is way brighter (forget stats, this is in real life), the volume is louder and it's just a bit easier to use all around. I actually wanted the Edge 70 Fusion due to it's better battery but I was sold the wrong phone at The Good Guys and I couldn't be bothered returning it since I already had to return the one they sent me, which was also wrong

    This is sad. Prior Redmi Note models at this price point used to come with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. Like the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ which came with that. Now these modern smartphones are coming with only 6GB RAM and half the storage capacity with a slower CPU. It's worse in every way except for the battery. It's what the AI boom RAM and NAND shortage has caused.

    Motorola Edge 70 8GB/256GB for $537 is expensive. Go to JB Hifi, they will sell them for about $400-$500 if you ask for a discount (plus Perks on top of that)

    • -1
    • hollykryten on 06/10/2026 - 12:19

      It's already discounted down from $899 RRP. So you think they will let this go for $400?. That's $499 discount from the RRP. That would be about a 55% discount on this smartphone that was released only a few months ago. Yeah i don't think they'll let it go for $400.

      • -1
      • PeppaPigDidNthngWrng on 07/10/2026 - 17:30

        No, I don't think they will. I know they will, because they did. That's why I said =they=will=.

        That said, I had slightly forgotten - it was $499 before further discounts.

        Then 4% off that thanks to Macquarie JB Hifi gift cards ($479).

        I forget what the Perks discount was (min $10, though)

        • -1
      • PeppaPigDidNthngWrng on 08/10/2026 - 12:47

        Double checked my receipt: $471.23, minus 4% was $452.38

        So yeah, exactly between $400 and $500! :-D

        • 0
        • hollykryten on 08/10/2026 - 12:56

          Yes but not $400. So the price they JB actually matched to was $471.23. The extra 4% off was because of a gift card deal through Macquarie. JB was not going to give it to you for between $400 and $450. More like between $450 to $500.
