Anyone know if this would be capable of playing genshin impact? Daughter looking for a new phone capable of playing it. TIA

  778+ is a very decent chipset.
  
  FWIW, I have a poco X3 NFC, 732g CPU and genshin runs alright at low settings (not lowest).
  
  778+ should be more than enough unless she wants to have it running near max graphical settings.

My gf has this one and I love it , I'm thinking of selling my pixel 6 and getting this one. Yeah it'd be a huge downgrade in terms of photo quality but the advantages are several

1) cheaper
2) sooo much lighter - it must be the lightest smartphone out there, while p6 must be the heaviest
3) nicer looking imo
4) less buggy
5) battery life is better , even though it has a much smaller battery capacity
6) fast charging is a lot faster than p6

I don't really mind photo quality - not a photo person, I only take photos of my dogs and occasionally my gf (😇).
Plus does anyone know if it's possible to sideload google camera?

No wireless charging but I don't care, not using it with the p6 anyways.

The only thing that makes me want to keep the p6 is the waterproofing, which is great on it and near non-existent in the edge 30. 🧐

  Edge 30 has Gorilla Glass 3. Can't see a need to add a screen protector.
  
  Been using G7+ (with Gorilla Glass 3) for 3 years without a screen protector or full case (just use included bumper case).
  Not even a scratch - looks & works like new.
  
  Has had a few falls. But it does have aluminium frame & Gorilla Glass 3 front & back. Edge 30 is more plastic.

Stuck at the payment page where you must enter a mobile phone number. But it's keep on saying that phone number is invalid. Either put 0 or not at the prefix, still error. Tried checkout as either member or guess still same error.

Uses the Samsung S5KJN1 sensor for the main camera shooter according to this

For so many pixels, you'd think it would do a better job of night time shots, but it still seems to perform pretty poorly.

I'm also sad to see the USB port is only 2.0. I can understand having limited storage on the device, and forgoing the microsd card slot and audio jack, but then to also cripple the main data port so that you can't get around those deficits.. why

It seems like an alright phone for something middle of the range, but I can't help thinking you're better to go cheaper for a basic phone or more expensive and get a phone with decent features. Personally I wish they'd leave out the 5g, go back to ~5" screens, and use the money to improve the camera.

    - INFIDEL on 02/10/2022 - 09:12
      
      Unlike the cheaper G51 etc, Edge 30 has rugged Gorilla Glass 3 to protect screen.
      
      Read your $165 accident! Ouch!!
      Thanks. A good warning. Forgot about that issue, as haven't cracked a screen in years. Another reason why I didn't buy the G51!
      
      Never used a screen protector & only use the included bumper case on my 3yr old Gorilla Glass Moto G7+. Not even a scratch.
      
      But these are all more plastic - frame, back, edges. Mine is built more rugged with aluminium frame, GG3 front & back. The included bumper case protects the plastic edges.
      
      Had many cracked screens. Sat down with Telstra cheapie in back pocket… heard the screen crack. And a few others were dropped (case & screen protector)… screen cracked.
      So I love Gorilla Glass 3!
      - sam buster on 02/10/2022 - 14:45
        
        @INFIDEL: Yes, I used to look out for Gorilla Glass screens biut it seems to have dropped off the radar in the past couple of years (within my budget, at least).
        
        My current (smashed) phone is Moto G 5G Plus (not a 5 G5 as I mistyped earlier), but the info for the glass is hard to find, so as it doesn't clearly specify it's Gorilla Glass 3, I assume it isn't.
        
        However, it doesn't clearly say the Edge 30 has a Goriila Glass screen either; the Motorola website mentions its use for the back, but not for the actual screen.
        "Body:
        Gorilla® Glass 3 Back is PMMA with matte finish, middle frame is plastic with a glossy matte finish"
        "Display Size
        6.5"" display (protective film should be within 0.5 mm to ensure FOD and display feature)"
        
        The website does clearly specify this for your Moto G7 Plus though:
        "Display Design
        Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3"
        
        INFIDEL on 02/10/2022 - 16:02
        
        @sam buster: Gsmarena shows
        Edge 30: Glass front (Gorilla Glass 3), plastic frame, plastic back
        
        Moto G7+ was my first & only Gorilla Glass phone. Think it would have been replaced long ago, except for that.
        Phone before that was a Moto G4 Play. Cracked the screen in first year.
        
        So I like Gorilla Glass.

I am a professional photographer and anyone that says the camera quality on these phones is subpar are all parroting complete and utter bullshit! Its not the tools now, its the idiot operating them thats the problem on anything from 12mpix and up! You need to know about color balance, framing and lens distortion and while the apps make a LOT of magic happen in the background, you still need to take the time to master photography and getting the best from the camera app. Often you can use 3rd party camera apps, especially for video like my FAVOURITE FilmicPro. True they do more magic but also let you do lots more manualy with heaps of tips and tricks. Its a bloggers best friend!

  So all the reviews (with basic test photos in different uses) & people complaining about poor images from these Moto phones - are all parroting complete and utter bullshit!??
  
  I don't think so. Have you read the reviews?
  
  My professional photographer friend agrees, & wouldn't touch these midrange Motos. But he does also use a mobile for photos - just a far better one acknowledged for photographic use.
  
  The same sensor module used in different phones is known to produce very different results. So its nothing to do with number of MP.
  
  More professional type App functions often don't work with these phones. And the format files are saved by phone may not be suited to high quality editing.
  
  Filmic Pro Evaluator is free to check your mobile's capabilities. But read the review comments. Although it says features are available on phone, those may not work after paying $21.
  
  There are mobiles that take amazing photos. These Motos are better at other tasks.
  
  Of course better skills in photography will help, but won't overcome limitations in these devices.

Yeah so called "deals" are the price these phones should be selling for in the first place. We are all hostage to the money extorting greedy companies and most of us don't even realise that.

  well, if this one is really worth $350, no way in the whole world a Pixel 6 should be worth $1k or even 800, or an iPhone14 $1400

    Absolutely!
