Could you test a few things? - Have you noticed the proximity sensor failing when on calls? - Does wifi disconnect easily? - What's the…

One expect both a Toyota and a Ferrari to be safe to use after one year. With this Motorola, it´s not the case. =)

It's 2 years security and 2 years Android updates for this phone I believe, it was released in August 2021, so one year left.

Main concern, as usual, is Motorola's terrible software support. There is only one year of security updates left for the phone.

It should come with a jelly case already installed.

So, is spending 506 aud more in the upcoming Pixel 6a worth it over the Motorola Edge 20 Fusion? It's such a huge difference that it feels…

With the Motorola you get an Australian warranty, with the Poco you don't.

Again, probably the best cpu available for Android as of today. The theoretical better performance of the newer ones (888, 8gen1) means…

¿The "only" issue? What about a virtual proximity sensor that makes using your phone as a phone hell?

Probably the best Android chip available right now. The newer cpus (888, 8gen1) are more powerful on paper, but have terrible thermal…

If it were just that it would be an unquestionably better buy, but the Pixel6 and 6pro come with a bucketload of issues that don´t seem to…

I insist, making that downgrade to an older phone just for 245mah extra sounds like a terrible move to me. If you are indeed so eager to…

Seems like a terrible move, specially considering the battery size is almost the same. Also:…

I believe it can jump between 60-90-120hz.

Depends on what you value. For me the virtual proximity sensing of the budget Samsungs is a deal breaker, not to mention adding bloatware,…

Shocking bad or shocking good?

Then I guess the system is underperforming for some reason.

Isn't the problem that both chips are manufactured by Samsung and not TSMC?
Virtual proximity sensing is one of my personal red lines.

Not 100% sure, but I believe the Zenfone 8 has adaptative refresh rate (so it jumps from 60 to 90 to 120Hz depending on the situation),…

Not Operating System updates, that's more or less irrelevant. I'm talking about security updates. It's kind of like driving a car without…

I didn't. I am aware of it, it's just that it's not common at all, it seems that it only happened with the earlier batches and apparently…

Close to stock Android and no bloatware applications as you see in most other brands.

The number in isolation means nothing. A 4000mAh battery with an older CPU and a 60Hz screen might last a lot longer than the same battery…

The buts: - SD888 might overheat and drains battery like a champ. Heat might also lead to shorter battery lifespan. - Battery life already…
