![]() ![]() You’ll need to be careful around dirt and moisture with the Edge (2022) because it is only rated to IP52 protection. It failed often, or took a long time to register prints. The fingerprint reader is incorporated under the display, and it did not work as well as most other phones we’ve used. The risk with lightweight phones is that we naturally equate a feeling of density with a product being premium, but the overall effect of this latest Edge is a device that feels nice without standing out. It’s nice but not quite premium – glossier plastic would have made the phone seem cheaper. ![]() The back of the phone feels plastic, and Motorola did well to keep the color scheme simple with a dark graphite grey finish. It’s also more than 0.5mm thinner than the Pixel, which is marginal but only adds to the impressive feats of engineering Motorola has executed here. To compare, it weighs eight grams less than the Google Pixel 6a, even though its screen is a half-inch larger diagonally, and it has a bigger battery. When you pick up the Edge (2022) for the first time you’ll be struck by how incredibly light it is. ![]() No splash protection, be careful around water.Very light for such a large screen and battery.We wouldn’t pay extra for the premium edition, unless you keep a lot of photos and videos on your phone (as opposed to a cloud service like Google Photos) or if you pre-download a lot of video to take on the go.Īs is often the case with Motorola's strategy, as of right now the Edge (2022) looks to be a US-exclusive device, with alternatives like the Motorola Edge 30, Motorola Edge 30 Pro and Motorola Moto G82 filling similar niches in other markets across Europe, India and beyond. There are two variants for the Motorola Edge (2022): one with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and a boosted model with 8GB of RAM and double the storage. You can also find deals on older phones like Apple’s iPhone 11 or possibly pick up a Google Pixel 6 for the same price. For about the same price you can buy the aforementioned Samsung Galaxy A53 5G or a Google Pixel 6a, both new. The $500 segment for smartphones is quite competitive, especially recently. The new Motorola Edge (2022) is available as of September 1 on T-Mobile for $498, or unlocked from a variety of retailers for $499.99. Two tiers: 6GB /8GB of RAM and 128GB /256GB of storage.Prices start at $498 on T-Mobile, or free with a new line of service.Available September 1 on T-Mobile and Unlocked. ![]()
