    Everyone else has it in the $980-$999 range and yet it still seems overpriced. I do love that karate torch though.

        Gesture controls, holding the phone and making a karate chop motion or fast hand shake turns on the torch.

        Sounds lame but it is super convenient, find myself using it a bit

            @happyangus: There's an App called Shake Light that will give you this function back.

            • DonWilson on 09/05/2022 - 14:10

              @hotphil: Gave it a go and it only kinda works some of the time. It's unrestricted battery and requests no permissions but it frequently doesn't work unless you open the app. It'll even work when the phone is locked, it'll turn the torch on, but it cannot turn it off after that unless you unlock the phone and open the app.

      A negative point for me. The 8gen1 overheats and throttles.

      I'd rather they used the 870 and made the phone cheaper.

      • systema on 05/05/2022 - 09:39

        That's the Edge 20 pro?

        • HigoChumbo on 05/05/2022 - 15:59

          Yepp.

          The problem with the 20 pro is that you still pay a lot of money for a phone that essentially has only one year left of security updates.

      • morgs640 on 05/05/2022 - 16:36

        Agreed. Also look at the battery life on the Xiaomi 12x vs the Xiaomi 12. That's down to the chipset, the 870 is far more power efficient.

      • garage sale on 05/05/2022 - 08:53

        there are 3 parts to what makes the camera good 1, the actual camera sensor model, 2 software which they update, 3 the size of the lens …..

        so what part of the camera is no good ?

        depends if you usually carry your phone in your pocket or carry it in your hand, and if it’s in your pocket if you take it out when you sit down or leave it in your pocket ……it’s why apple makes multiple size phones ….also some people text one handed which is tricky with 7” screen …..thumb doesn’t reach corner to corner .

      Well only 3 years of security updates, who knows how many full OS upgrades. The cost of the device should not be detached from the timeframe of support.

    • morgs640 on 05/05/2022 - 16:37

    Actually not a bad price, don't know what Motorola software updates are like though. Poco F4 GT once it has some better deals will be more value than this though, especially with that 120W charging

    • ozchobie on 05/05/2022 - 05:43

      Software updates and support in the long run ain't that great compared to Oppos and Samsungs.

  • cycleri3 on 04/05/2022 - 22:38

    will this be updated for longer than 1 or 2 android versions? Samsungs now promise 4 android version and 5 years security.

    • scrimshaw on 04/05/2022 - 23:07
      +5

      Currently receiving regular security updates.

      Device launched on February, 2022
      Security updates will stop on February, 2025

      Launched On: Android 12
      Next OS: Android 13

      *This device will receive at least bi-monthly SMRs updates

      Copied and pasted from https://motorola-global-en-aus.custhelp.com/app/software-sec….

      My guess is that it should receive 2 major OS updates, so you should get Android 14.

      If you're concerned about Android OS updates and want longer term support, there's only two other brands to consider: Google Pixel and Samsung (S22 series)

      The Pixel6 gets 3 major OS updates, and 5 years of security updates, while flagship Samsungs (S22 etc) will get 4 major OS updates and 5 years of security patches.

          Exactly. It's a joke.

          Delays in answering calls (phone will ring but screen doesn't show incoming call for a few seconds), delays in seeing contact details on incoming calls (another delay of a couple of seconds). Bluetooth randomly cuts out when battery is below 50% (unlocking the screen fixes it, which makes me think it's an issue with process prioritisation), quick settings buttons don't always respond or lag by several seconds (particularly the torch).

          I've found plenty of other people online with the same issues, none are recognised by Google as open bugs.

          And factory resets have done nothing.

        Officeworks has the 20 pro for the same price as JB Hifi, and I would imagine they barely have any stock left, it's not available online and labelled as "priced to clear'.

        The main problem with the 20pro is that, while a great device, you are ultimately paying 600 aud for a smartphone that only has one year of security updates left.

    -has dual physical Sim
    -it's quite large, so you need to like big phones
    -The dual speakers are good, not amazing
    -the phone does heat up when doing intensive take
    -I've been impressed with the camera quality, although it's not as good as my wife's s22
    -stock Android is excellent
    -comes with a 30 watt charger, headphones and case in the box.
    -battery lasts me over a day of moderate usage.

    • trawg on 05/05/2022 - 07:45

      Doesn't look like it has microSD slot?

      I have a Motorola OneVision as a secondary phone and aside from being a bit slow & the camera not being as awesome as Pixel, it is far and away a better phone for me in terms of features. Keeping an eye out for a higher end Motorola - this one looks great but I really really want the microSD for expandable memory.

      edit: actually looking at the official site (https://www.motorola.com.au/smartphones-motorola-edge-30-pro…) it mentions "Expandable Storage up to 1 TB" but not clear what this means..?

      • Lugo on 05/05/2022 - 08:14

        There is no expandable storage. The sim card tray is just dual Sim, no spot for a SD card.
        I think the website is referring to that overseas you can get a 1tb model

        • trawg on 05/05/2022 - 08:26
