    What's the catch here other than having SD8 Gen 1 and not 2?

    • drprox on 13/07/2023 - 18:21

      Only 125w charging?

      Edit - but I'm guessing the camera. I got the 30 fusion a week or so ago and it's brilliant but camera is only ok. No regrets though.

      What's the catch here ?
      Android thirteen , pretty unimpressive but that's Motorola 👎

      • silenthillrocks on 14/07/2023 - 10:35

        Android 13 is latest not in beta though

    • backupper1 on 13/07/2023 - 18:37

      Camera, always trash on Moto devices, otherwise everything else is almost perfect.

    • elephantnut on 14/07/2023 - 11:02

      Apparently the RAW implementation is incredibly broken, but I feel like that's a real niche issue.

      Mine arrived this morning and I'm actually incredibly impressed.

      • Build quality is pretty great; design isn't going to compete with the $2000 flagships, but I quite like it
      • 144 Hz screen, DC dimming options for those sensitive to OLED dimming
      • Speakers are fine (can't compete with iPhones/S23 Ultra); the Atmos settings give you EQ options
      • Their 'Ready For' DeX equivalent is super impressive - plug-and-play 4k desktop output, something that's super fiddly with DeX
      • A lot of cute little quality-of-life features (chop actions, twist actions, double-tap back actions)
      • Super speedy charging

      For the price, it's a pretty easy recommend. Not sure how it stacks up against the Pixels and the Zenfone 9 that's currently on sale.

    • NeverBuyRegPrice on 14/07/2023 - 11:47

      It's not IP rated which means no water resistance.

    This or Oppo Find X5 Pro (nearly same price deal @ $649)? Which one is better phone, operating system, camera, etc..

    • OZBsince2018 on 13/07/2023 - 18:20

      Motorola is better, closer to stock Android experience.

        Thanks, is this model the top of line for Motorola phones in Aust?

    • linkii on 13/07/2023 - 18:22

      Oppo Find X5 Pro. Camera's on another level. Competes with the Pixel 8 Pro, S23 ultra etc
      Whereas the camera on the motorola is crap. Speedwise won't really notice a difference, though motorola have a slightly better cpu.

      • albert0pia on 13/07/2023 - 19:43

        Pixel 8 Pro…

        Is that a typo or do you have a prototype or time machine?

      • pma on 13/07/2023 - 21:02

        I got the modded g cam app. Seems to improve the photos over the default camera app. Haven't gone too far into comparisons of other phones though.

      • Pootie Tang on 14/07/2023 - 03:40

        Have you figured out what the deal is with the white exposure on the selfie? My gf obvs loves a selfie and her 5 year old pixel smashes my pro

      Where is it $649? That's the real MVP bargain…

        Last week deal direct from oppo, with any phone trade in, but expired few days ago.

          So what is the relevance of your question? Have you got a time machine?

            @xyron: It is difficult to explain, you won't understand.

              @huntabargain: If you can't explain it, that would suggest you don't understand either.

          It was an amazing deal.

    • overkillxx on 13/07/2023 - 18:25

      I believe the Motorola has more chance, if not already, to unlock the bootloader. So I guess more options in future when Motorola stops developing code for it. Oppo, from experience, basically no chance in getting the bootloader unlocked

      • huntabargain on 13/07/2023 - 18:26

        Sorry too technical for me :) me no understand bootloader …

      • dcep on 13/07/2023 - 22:28

        have you seen edge 10 or edge 20 custom rom dev ?

    • NeverBuyRegPrice on 14/07/2023 - 11:49

      Where did you see the X5 Pro at $649? Because I would definitely buy it now.
      Thanks.

      • huntabargain on 14/07/2023 - 12:10

        So I take it you consider the Oppo X5 Pro is better buy than this Motorola Edge 30 Ultra! From specs wise it seemed on par with the X5 and thoughts Google owned the brand so would be close to raw Android without the bloatware.. Oh well, I think I will wait for the release of Pixel 8 Pro in Oct.
        The Oppo deal covered X5 pro for $649 and X5 for $499, The X5 is still available.

  • Voucherd on 13/07/2023 - 18:21

    If this has a headphone jack im sold

      No jack.

    • pma on 13/07/2023 - 19:40

      I have the Edge 30 Pro. Motorola shipped it with wired headphones that plug into the USB/charging port. So was a nice surprise.

    • shxhshzhz on 13/07/2023 - 20:44

      The 30 ultra also comes with a usb c headset like pma got as written on the motorola site

    • EightImmortals on 14/07/2023 - 06:58

      Pretty sure you could get a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter.

  • techberi on 13/07/2023 - 18:29

    Is this phone updated to android 13?

    • huntabargain on 13/07/2023 - 18:43

      One review stated: Motorola committed 3 OS updates and 4 yrs security

    • drprox on 13/07/2023 - 18:45

      should be, my 30 fusion got it when I forced an update

    • tinselnoel on 13/07/2023 - 20:34

      pretty sure yes

  • SeanConnery on 13/07/2023 - 18:48

    Don't forget that you can connect this to a monitor and use the phone as a desktop PC which is a great feature.

    • Gdsamp on 13/07/2023 - 19:50

      a clever heuristic

  • Burger R on 13/07/2023 - 20:31

    Considering this or Razr 2022.

  • Twirlypiglet on 13/07/2023 - 22:27

    Note this has an IP52 rating, almost no water resistance.

  • dealsucker on 14/07/2023 - 08:23

    I think the catch would be android updates. Motorola has only promised until Android 14 for now and event that may or may not happen.

  • payless69 on 14/07/2023 - 10:13

    If it shaves my beard it will break the deal.

  • 9hundred on 14/07/2023 - 15:00

    no SD card slot

  • sentinel on 14/07/2023 - 23:34

    Does anyone know if Telstra VoLTE works on this?

    • azee666 on 16/07/2023 - 11:02

      I am also looking to know this if someone could confirm volte and vowifi working on this?

    Great phone picked one up yesterday fast AND easy tranferred data from Edge20 Fusion to this -SD slot not necessary as 256 GB Needs repeated updates to bring it to July 23 software Super fast charging even using a 35W brick

  • glyptothek on 15/07/2023 - 20:46

    After you get the phone many updates will come, and finally Android 13 To be honest Android 13 superficially seems almost same as Android 12 running on my Edge 20

  • nnolan on 16/07/2023 - 07:33

    Have a pixel 6 pro with a damaged screen, cost to fix is like $400. Would you just buy one of these instead ??

  • nnolan on 18/07/2023 - 12:50

    This phone is brilliant coming from a pixel 6 pro I think it’s even better. Super fast
