Hands-on with Edge+, the most exciting Motorola phone in years

22 4 月, 2020 Joe Maring 0

Here’s what a $1,000 Motorola phone looks like.

It’s been a long time since I was genuinely excited about a new Motorola phone. The company’s Moto G and Motorola One handsets have done an excellent job of providing quality Android experiences at low price points, but as with any budget smartphone, they aren’t designed to be overly interesting or jaw-dropping.

The last time I felt that sort of excitement was for the 2nd-gen Moto X. I think a lot of people would agree that it was the last real “flagship” from the company, with subsequent devices since then focusing on low price points or gimmicky modular attachments.

It’s now 2020, though, and Motorola is ready to release another device that it thinks is worthy of its grand re-entrance into the Android flagship market. It’s called the Motorola Edge+, and I had a chance to go hands-on with it back in February at Motorola’s headquarters in Chicago.

The Edge+ is a phone unlike anything else we’ve seen from the company in recent year…

The Motorola Edge aims to bring 5G and a 90Hz display to people on a budget

Is the Edge+ too rich for your blood? Check this out.

What you need to know

Alongside the flagship Motorola Edge+, Motorola has also announced the regular Edge.
The Motorola Edge is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765 chipset.
It’s launching this summer, but pricing is currently unknown.

The Motorola Edge+ is an exciting gadget. It’s the first flagship Android phone Motorola’s released in years, and it aims to wow shoppers with a 90Hz curved display, impressive cameras, and the fastest 5G speeds currently available on a smartphone. However, it’s not the only new phone Motorola has to show off.

Alongside the flagship Edge+, Motorola also unveiled the regular Motorola Edge. It’s more impressive than your typical Moto G phone but not as high-end as the Edge+, making it a “budget flagship” similar to something like the OnePlus 8 or Galaxy S10 Lite.

This is the exact same display you’ll find on the Motorola Edge+.

One of the biggest draws to the Edge+ is its display, and surp…

Want an Apple Watch but… don’t? Check out these alternatives.

22 4 月, 2020 Ted Kritsonis 0

For some, the Apple Watch is considered the gold standard of smartwatches, but whether it is or not makes no difference to Android users who couldn’t use it even if they wanted to. Smartwatches for Android users abound, and the one that stands out from the pack is the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 because of its balanced functionality and stylish design that caters to wider subset of users.

Best Overall: Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2

It may be a bit odd that the top Android smartwatch runs on an operating system that isn’t developed by Google, but that’s where we’re at. Samsung corrected a key feature missing in the previous model by putting in a touch-sensitive bezel to emulate the physical rotating one that was a staple in the company’s prior designs. It makes a significant difference in navigating the interface, offering an alternative from just tapping on the screen.

It comes in 40mm and 44mm sizes, making it an attractive option for both men and women. It’s the sleekest bui…

22 4 月, 2020 Adam Oram 0

Arlo is well-known for its array of smart home security cameras and late last year it entered the smart doorbell game with its first video doorbell. It retails at $150 though, today only, you can score one for just $109.99 at Woot. That’s a $40 savings and the lowest price we’ve seen for it to date. You can snag the same price at Newegg with code NEARLDB66.

Arlo’s Video Doorbell looks quite similar to some others on the market with a slender profile, camera at the top and button towards the bottom. Its camera is capable of capturing HD video up to 1536 x 1536, and the 1:1 aspect ratio is made possible thanks to the 180-degree field-of-view. This creates for a much narrower image compared to other video doorbells, making it a better fit to see people at your door.

You’ll find the usual array of smart video doorbell features being offered, including things like Alexa support, motion detection, night vision, two-way audio, a built-in siren, and HDR colors for video capture. When someo…
