The Chicago-based firm has been very active in terms of launches in recent years, with a wide range of smartphones that can be located in the different existing ranges. So much so that we can even make a list of the best Motorola phones that can be bought in 2020.
At the moment, they are considered high-end, innovative, 5G-compatible, and low-cost manufacturer’s equipment ($ 300 or less). But trust us: there is more.
The best ever
Moto Edge Plus
For whom it is? For those who were waiting to buy a high-end cell phone that allows them to get the most out of watching multimedia content, run applications of all kinds and connect to the 5G network.
The first thing that catches the attention of the Moto Edge Plus is its waterfall-type display , in which the edges bend at almost 90 degrees to offer immersive content. It is true that the firm could have put a higher resolution than Full HD + on this phone, however, it is appreciated that it has implemented a refresh rate of 90 Hz and that it is a 6.7-inch OLED panel.
As for power, the manufacturer opted for a Snapdragon 865 and 12 GB of RAM (DDR5), enough elements to run demanding applications. In addition, it is ready for the 5G network, whose massive deployment is expected for the rest of this year and 2021.
In autonomy, no resources were spared either: the Moto Edge Plus has a 5,000 mAh battery, which is compatible with fast home charging, TurboPower. And for those with other gadgets ready for wireless charging, the kit includes reversible charging.
Thus, this phone is positioned as a worthy rival in the high range and it could be said that it is the best representative of Motorola so far.
Finalist: Moto Edge
In appearance, both phones seem the same, however, due to their characteristics, the Moto Edge is located more in the premium mid-range. It stands out for its 6.7-inch OLED screen with Full HD + resolution, which also “folds” on both sides and has a refresh rate of 90 Hz.
Despite being compatible with 5G, this smartphone was equipped with the Snapdragon 765 processor and 6 GB of RAM, elements that give it an optimal response in almost any task.
For those who do not have such a large budget for the Moto Edge Plus, the Moto Edge is the second natural choice for a high quality and performance mobile.
The most innovative
Motorola Razr foldable
Why consider it? Because Motorola managed to have an innovative phone in a well-known design, that is, the company took risks, but at the same time opted for a mobile phone that would ensure it did not fall into controversy.
For whom it is? For those users who are looking for innovative smartphones , but without that means that their user experience has to be compromised.
In the still complicated universe of folding cell phones, the Motorola Razr left a good taste in the mouth of the critics, who praised the hardware work done by the manufacturer.
The Motorola Razr is distinguished by being compact, thanks to its clam-like design, inspired by the legendary Razr V3 (2004), as well as its 6.2-inch Flex View display (2,142 x 847 pixels). The external display is called Quick View and allows access to information in a practical and easy way.
As for performance and autonomy, it can be said that it meets, but does not exceed the expectations of the users, since it integrates a Snapdragon 710 processor, 6 GB RAM, 128 GB storage and 2,510 mAh battery.
Finalist: Motorola One Hyper
This is the first Motorola cell phone with a retractable camera for selfies , so its display is free from the notch . That is why it can be considered a worthy finalist, in addition to costing a third of what the folding Moto Razr is worth.
Other of its specifications are: 6.5-inch screen and with Full HD + resolution, Snapdragon 675 processor, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB of storage and Android 10. Its battery is 4,000 mAh and it supports fast charging of 45 watts.
Best for 5G (and not that expensive)
Moto G 5G Plus
Why consider it? It is an accessible cell phone and compatible with the 5G network, that without counting specifications such as a large screen, fingerprint reader on the side and dual front camera.
For whom it is? For those who are already preparing for the 5G network, but without having to spend more than $ 410 dollars.
Like 4G, the 5G network will be the next standard in mobile connectivity, and phones compatible with this technology are beginning to become more accessible. An example of this is the Moto G 5G Plus, which integrates a square module for the main optics, 90 Hz refresh rate and side fingerprint reader, which also allows access to applications by simply pressing it twice.
Some of its main features are: Snapdragon 765 processor, 4 GB base configuration in RAM and 64 GB of storage, 5,000 mAh battery that supports fast charging (20 watts) and NFC to make mobile payments.
As for its main optics, it comes with a 48 megapixel sensor, 8 megapixel wide angle, 2 megapixel depth sensor and 5 megapixel macro. Its front camera, in the form of two perforations in the display , is made up of 8 and 16 megapixel sensors.
Finalist: Moto Edge?
From the factory —without counting the Moto Z3—, it can be said that Motorola only has, for the moment, three mobile phones compatible with 5G: Moto Edge, Moto Edge Plus and Moto G 5G Plus.
The first could be considered the main rival of the Moto G 5G Plus, since they share various characteristics, however, in price, the latter can be more attractive to users. Either way, the Moto Edge has its place secured as one of the firm’s greats in 2020.
The best for $ 300 or less
Motorola One Fusion Plus
Why consider it? It is a mobile that combines the best of its predecessors to deliver outstanding performance and autonomy in the mid-range.
For whom it is? For users who have a budget of $ 300 or less, and who want a team with good results in different sections.
The One Fusion Plus integrates a retractable front camera to get 16 megapixel selfies , while its quadruple optics stands out for its 64 megapixel main lens with Quad Pixel and Night Vision technologies.
Its display is a 6.5-inch Total Vision, with Full HD + resolution and HDR 10 compatibility. It is also a smartphone part of YouTube Signature Devices, which indicates that it provides an optimized experience on the renowned video platform.
As for performance, it was equipped with the Snapdragon 730 processor and 4 GB RAM, enough to have no problems running all kinds of applications. Regarding its autonomy, Motorola decided to put a 5,000 mAh battery – compatible with TurboPower fast charge -, in order to have at least two days of autonomy. Its storage is 128 GB.
Finalist: Moto G8 Plus
It is a mobile that has a good integration between hardware and software , so the user can take advantage of it regardless of their level of experience on smartphones . Among its standout features are a 6.3-inch (2,280 x 1,080-pixel) LCD screen, stereo sound, rear fingerprint reader, and triple rear optics (48-megapixel main sensor).
Regarding its performance, Motorola equipped it with a Snapdragon 665, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. In performance, it stands out for its 4,000 mAh battery compatible with 15-watt fast charge.
