    Very happy with mine.

    Charger and case included!

    Ridiculously fast charging.

    Average battery life on 5G.

    Curved screen is more nuisance than handy.

    Chop chop twist twist. IYKYK.

      I can redic fast charge my phone but I don't like it.

      Some new high end chargers themselves can charge limit your phone when it gets too hot, which will cause reduced battery life.

      Slow charge is best unless you aren't organised and need a quick boost.

      • ripprind on 08/09/2024 - 18:30

        when the charger gets too hot?

              @ripprind: The gan chargers from Anker claim to have that technology with ActiveShield.

              • ripprind on 08/09/2024 - 19:02
                +1

                @Budju: ok, this was a red flag for me and didn't sound plausible.
                After a quick google, I couldn't figure out how could Anker monitor the phone temperature (unless on a wireless charging pad).
                And it seems it doesn't. On their website, the language is deliberately vague imo, and they never say they actually monitor the phone temp.
                My guess is they are monitoring their own charger for overheating, and with throttle the output accordingly.

                • Budju on 08/09/2024 - 19:11
                  -4

                  @ripprind: I find it plausible to the degree that certain phone models could conceivably communicate with a charger if both companies agreed to setup that technology. I haven't done a deep dive on whether it's just total lies, as you seem to be claiming it might be. My Pixel 7 self regulates if the charging time is within certain parameters, e.g. I put the phone on charge at 10 PM it will slow charge to align with my alarm timer. If I put the phone on charge early in the day it boosts so fast that I feel it damages the battery, because I can feel it get very hot by 50% and I will take it off for a while.

                  Remove your neg vote.

                    @Budju: I dont think its total lies because Anker never actually says they monitor the phone temperature.
                    Its depressing to watch/read the reviews though. Everything I found with a quick search seem to be just plain advertising cosplaying as reviews since none of them seemed to understand that phone temperature isn't monitored.

                  • ripprind on 08/09/2024 - 19:32

                    @Budju: what neg vote?

                          @ripprind: At this point, your second neg is becoming a meme. Fast charging diminishes battery life. Refute it, or stop negging me.

        USB PD allows for devices to request an increase or decrease in voltage, and current. There's no exchange of "my battery is too hot". The onboard charger (i.e. built into your phone) has a thermocouple that may cause a reduction in charge current if it gets too hot, but that's for your phone to decide, not the power supply "charger" you plug into the wall.
        A responsibly designed USB PD power supply will be monitoring the mosfet and plug temperatures. That's what Anker does.

        68w is far too much to dump into a small lipo battery. A rough calculation indicates that's about 4C.. With the average phone thermal design, it'll cook the battery. I would probably run it on a 15w charger if I wanted it to last more than ~12-18 months.

        I have two charging cables for this exact reason. One of them won't support fast charging and I use it overnight. The other cable is fast for when I need it boosted.

      These movements should be standard on android.

        You can also double tap the back of the phone to open whatever app you want. I use it for Google Pay.

      Chop chop is a god damn game changer, and I've used it every day since I bought the g84, this needs to be base android feature.

      Not sure if I'll use twist twist as much.

    • sackrace on 09/09/2024 - 00:21

      Switches to a pixel 8a recently which is great, albeit worse value, but Christ do I miss chop chop.

    Solid spec but its almost 2 years old and there doesn't seem to be any future updates to android 15. For the price I guess its difficult to complain.

      I'd say it is better than G84 for 300 but maybe G54 for sub 200 is still a better value for money (with Esim)
      Depends on what you are after

    • costas60 on 08/09/2024 - 13:45

      The OZbargain favourite can not compete not even close. This is miles ahead.

    Would not say it is really flagship…
    Even in 30 series (which is a previous generation already about 1.5-2 years old) is is not the top model.
    Also RRP is not actual, could be at the time of the launch. So comparison with it is a bit misleading
    But yeah, not a bad price either.

    Snapdragon 888+ fabbed by Samsung or TSMC?

    • duyfken on 08/09/2024 - 14:12

        Prefer any chips fabbed by TSMC. Samsung makes excellent phones but SOC need working to catch up to TSMC.
        Let's see what 2025 Galaxy S25 presents. ONE Ui is a massive improvement over touch wiz days. I like the ONE Ui interface.

    have this phone. picked it up from an old deal. very happy with it. fast charging has been good. There are some bluetooth audio issues but the Motorola gestures are actually helpful. Shaking the phone twice for the light to come on is awesome I use it every night after turning off all other lights in the house. Or even walking late at night.

  • RandomDealHunter on 08/09/2024 - 14:16

    The Amazon OnePlus 9 pro 128gb/8gb @ $335 was a better deal. Same kind of specs, better cameras and better fast charging.

        • scrimshaw on 08/09/2024 - 17:44

          Only IPhone, Google Pixel and Samsung S phones have long software update policies stretching past 5 to 6 years. This is only true for flagships and not budget lines though, for eg Galaxy A series are 4 years max for security updates and 3 years for OS updates.

          This Edge 30 came out at a time when Motorola was only committed to 3 years worth of updates. After releasing Edge 40 they promised 4 years so that they can be more competitive with the other brands.

    Man, even cheaper/budget phones are beginning to surpass mine (S20 FE 5G - Snapdragon 865 w/ 6GB/128GB)… Maybe it is time for an upgrade :D
