So Moto? Are we just giving up on North America?
The two current “Edge” phones (your premium phones) are the same price.

Someone might look at this and say:
“I want to get the newer phone! What a good deal!”

But the older Edge+ is more powerful and has DOUBLE the storage of the newer Edge phone.
The 2023 model is definitely a better buy, but there’s ZERO consumer education on phones other than Apple/Samsung/Google, and Moto isn’t really marketing here.

This late in the year, I guess we’re just not getting a new Edge+ phone from Moto? Why stay current and compete right?

Like Sony and LG before them, the strategy of “release a good phone, but dont tell anyone about it, until the company totally fades into obscurity” seems to be a LOSING strategy.

Makes my review work load a little easier year over year, but it sucks to lose good competition…

    @[email protected] Lack of marketing is clearly a factor, however, everyone knows that Moto has a software support problem. It’s not that they aren’t offering 7 years of support, it’s that it takes them FOREVER to release both security and OS updates. If they released updates with the same frequency as OnePlus, people wouldn’t have much to complain about.

      @[email protected] that’s a problem of education not of actual software delivery.
      A moto isn’t like a OnePlus or Galaxy, and techies should understand the difference. Moto opts to support many components through Google play updates like HTC used to.
      A moto is regularly updated. Why wait for an ota if pieces can be patched over Play?
      They certainly should extend support to at least 5 years, but there are ways in which a Moto is better up to date than even a Pixel.
