Motorola Edge | Unboxing & Full Tour By Tech Spurt

Hello gorgeous peeps, I'm Chris from Tech's burn and say hello to mortal as fresh new 2020 flagship smartphone, the Motorola edge. Now the edge promises a proper premium flagship style experience, but for the sum of just five hundred and fifty quid, which is, of course fifty quid cheaper than the OnePlus it and a bit Lord less expensive than the likes of the Samsung's and the iPhones of the world. It's going to be hitting the UK in early June you'll be able to buy it from the likes of Amazon and direct from Motorola, and I'm gonna, give it a full unboxing, an in-depth tour right now about hardware and that software. So you know exactly what to expect if you decide to throw your money more doors way, if you want to grab the moral edge direct from a provider here in the UK, you can grab it from or ? I. Think I forgot to do all that usual YouTube governs denied! Please box subscribe doing that notifications Bell! You very much appreciated guys. So there's the actual Motorola edge itself has just chucked that aside and see what else you get in this lovely black box.

So you get, of course, the obligatory condom case, which now comes bundled with pretty much every smartphone out there, which is definitely great. If you want to keep your phone pristine, you don't mind it. Looking a bit like a prophylactic, then there you go job done, got the usual README shenanigans that you've got a three-pin plug, of course, naturally, to charge up the Motorola edge. You go your type-c USB cable to slip into that bad boy and lucky you even get some proper white headphones witching. Stick in their actual 3.5 millimeter efforts, not type-c headphones, which are becoming increasingly common, of course, and they actually look alright. They should definitely do you just as a spare pair, which you can shove in your backpack.

Just to get your Bluetooth pair runs out of juice, or something ah thought you could have skipped me. Did you a little porcupine device, so I should get your sim in there cunningly hidden amongst the manuals and the other guff that you might otherwise ignore? So there you have it, that's the highly exciting contents of the Motorola edge box, and now, let's check out the phone and there you have it's. My first clips are the Motorola edge in the flesh, and this is the sole all-black model, which is basically just old black in some regions. You'll also be able to grab it in an almost as dark a midnight magenta, but in the UK it just seems to be the sole or black on offer. This thing is so damn dark, I'm actually really struggling to get it on camera.

To show up any of the sort of the finer detail ends of it. I would say that more to all those catering for Loss as well, but actually as it catches the light it has to offer kind of a rainbow here, which you can hopefully saw make out. There just think, is a little of blue-green red. Let me tell you: this camera focuses I'm a whale of a time trying to pick up his thing. I mean they'll.

Tell you what I'm, even just staring at it, I'm going to kind of cross-eyed. It's already proven itself over smudge magnet as well as you can see that I'm literally just touching it I'm a little oily because it is quite warm in the studio today, but yeah. Look at that fingerprint magnet and the model wedge definitely feels quite light, certainly lighter than a lot of other smartphones that I've tested our recently and apparently. The reason plight is that actually got a plastic back instead of glass, and it certainly doesn't feel quite as solid, because you can see that it's got a little of flex to it, which you would not expect from a glass handset, although around front. Apparently it is Gorilla Glass 5, so at least that should prove reasonably Hardy I'm.

Just a little worried that that plastic back is gonna, get scratched up rather easily, which of course, I will be fully testing out for my in-depth review, but of C I. Do love the way that that front ends what curves nicely around the edges of the phone and then comes to meet the back end as well. It almost looks like a seamless curve from front to back like one piece of glass, but there is a narrow groove there, where the glass of the display meets the plastic back end. Of course, while there likes the 1+8 are now fully IP rated for water and dust resistance, unfortunately the Motorola edge is merely water repellent, so hopefully should be fine in a downpour, but I certainly wouldn't go. Take it in to the bat for the shower or anything like that with you.

Anyway, it looks like we got juice in the tanks. Let's get the motor all that edge all set up, we'll take a full on tour, the rest of the phone, so I'm going to slap, my personal sim in the mod wall edge cues. That's my full time, smartphone ahead of my review. As you can see, they're just a single SIM slot, not dual SIM, unfortunately be Devon micros memory card slot. You can slot memory comes up to a terabyte in size inside this bad boy to expand that 128 gigs of storage, plenty of room for all of your Netflix downloads, your music, your naughty pics.

We don't judge now, of course, mostly used to having these motor all the smartphones have a fingerprint sensor around the back end of the device actually built into that Motorola logo, whereas it's actually an in display sensor here on the Motorola edge. This is busy setting up my printer. Hopefully this will be nice and responsive and accurate, and there we have it all set up, and we are ready to rock here on the Motorola edge which, as you can see, lives up to its name. That display is Kevin quite nicely around those edges, so it is a proper front. Fill-In experience look at that only the dinky little bezels above and below.

So something looks like a premium flagship for and even if it does have that plastic ass end I'm, just hoping it's smart enough to realize you know actually poking the edges of the display when you're clutching it quite tight. It's a problem that I had with the TCL 10 Pro, there's, of course, Android kernel. It's freshest a version of Android here on the water ledge, as you would kind of hope and expect from a flagship smartphone. Of course, you've got the Discover, feed all usual shenanigans. It's very stock version of Android, as you usually get with Motorola I've, got some in a few little tweaks here and there.

If you sort of dive under the surface, you will a spot a couple so, for instance, dive on into the security section, and you'll see you do have a proper face, unlock action. So, let's get this all set up, put yep or goods align your face. Only partial face detected, that's a bit harsh! So if you're not unlock your smartphone, you've got a couple of options. Of course, we've got that in display a fingerprint sensor which I set up earlier seems nice and accurate and responsive, and you've also got that face unlocks. All you need to do is pick up your smartphone from Pearson camera stop scanning for your mug and there we go so for perhaps ins in the most responsive I'm.

Not there. We go yep, but I'll be fully testing that out to see how it works in everyday life and that curve the edge to edge screen, isn't just for Lux either Motorola's made the most of it with a variety of features. Surfaces, you've got edge lights, notification, light feature where the edges just light up to say that something has weight and your attention. Now it doesn't look like you set up for precise and notifications or particular apps or anything, but basically the incoming calls, alarms or all app notifications by the looks of it, rolling individuals, you can also change the brightness levels are only sure when the screen is fierce and down, etc. , and you can also set it so that feature turns off at night as well, which is pretty handy if you're trying to get a bit, keep you doing your small format flashing at you, that's for damn sure what I'm really trying very hard together edge lighting to work, to demonstrate to you guys, and it's not having any of it.

Whether the screen is on or off or whatever app is getting. Notifications are just not doing it so yeah. Leave that one with me and again, hopefully, for the full review I'll, be able to show that off and then also here on the Motorola edge. You've got the edge touch. You got the touch, oh my god, that was awful scene which basically mimics Samsung's edge panels to make use of that spangly curved screen and with this feature active you get this funky little action bar, which you can then drag from one edge of the display to the other position it exactly where you want it, then, with this active you can swipe in, and you will open up a bunch of shortcuts which, as you can see there for some of your favorite apps and various tools like a ruler.

If you need to measure something urgently, because you've got full control over exactly what pops up in there, so you get rid of that ruler. If you don't need to do any urgent measurements ever get rid of some other bits and then pop up faster shortcuts to the likes of a search within these are starting a new doc within Docs. You can also set up shortcuts to some of your favorite contacts in there as well and, as you can be seen up to six shortcuts in all using that edge bar thingy. You can also, for instance, swipe down in order to access your notifications. Furthermore, you can swipe up in order to access all of your recent apps planned.

Furthermore, you've got a full gesture navigation on here anyway, somebody's sure what the point of that would be, especially as you can just swipe down from anywhere on the screen to pull down your notifications, ? and, of course this wouldn't be a Motorola smartphone or certainly not a flagship without that model. Experiences app as well. So, of course, you've got the model action section, which adds a bunch of gestures for it, including the excellent, fast torch 100. That's not so good on the author etiquette wrists, which basically just quickly loads up the camera up with a quick double a twist like so one feature that does happen to be missing from there, however, is the one handed mode, which is a bit of ever surprise that it's a real shame, because one-handed action is always definitely good, and you got the mortal game time feature on here as well. A relatively new one I played around with it on the Moto G power lights.

I think it was one of those handsets anyway. This will handily turn off some features like that edge display. While your games, you don't accidentally trigger them, you can disable the adaptive brightness to keep everything nice and bright at all times and more usefully as well blocking notifications. I'm calls. So you are not disturbed in the middle of a frantic buggy session Motorola in the past hasn't been one of the best around.

As far as updates are concerned, it has promised at least one Android update for the Motorola Edge, not quite as good as some who offer at least two so, for instance like some Nokia, but they do say they then reassess later on so, hopefully the moral edge being the flagship will also get an update to Android 12 next year, and you got the other features you'd expect on their like NFC dual-band Wi-Fi support all that kind of shenanigans again, which you would expect from a flagship. Let's check out that six point, seven inch endless edge all that display in a bit more detail. So, as you can see, obviously it curves around both sides are the courgette, so it gives like a glorious, a full view. Experience when you are checking out a movie TV show, whatever your fancy, definitely getting some very 1+8 vibes from this thing, especially with the dinky little pinhole camera down here in the corner, thankfully, doesn't intrude very much at all, as you can see there when you are kicking about with some Netflix or whatever you've got a full HD resolution. So, so far, everything seems to be and in crisp on there, despite the fact that it isn't a full quad HD panel, the color reproduction looks nice and natural when you're kicking back with ash or Netflix whatever, when you are indulging in a bit of geeky anime action as well.

Those nice, vibrant, colors, really punch and really poppy shining through lovely stuff definitely be smashing my way through a good bit of Crunchyroll. On this thing, and if you're not a fan of that super vibrancy, you can't just dial down their color reproduction to a more natural sedate effort instead as well. If you're, a bit boring, you've got each to your 10 spot on here as well, and you can also play around with refresh for it. As you see it's on auto mode by default become bump, it all the way up to 90 Hertz permanently, if you're on that super silky smooth experience non-stop and more good news for media fans, because it's a stereo speakers' setup here on the Motorola edge. Let's just give them a quick test in out got a hell of a kick on that top volume.

You'd be able to easily make your cell phone no matter where you're on certain Lee's seriously piss off everyone on your bus or train or whatever, once people start actually using public transport again. You've got Bluetooth, 5.1 support for your wireless connections as well, and a proper headphone jack down below, of course, for a bit of non-wireless connections. All right now, power in the more drawer edge is called comm, Snapdragon 765 chipset, not the super premium, eight six, five that would have bumped up the price, a considerably, no doubt backed by six gigs, a ddr4 Ram little DDR 5, which is a bit of a shame. But anyhow. So if any stats lovers out there, here's the benchmark scores on Geek bench 5, as you can see, obviously not as high as a lot of flagship smartphones that Rock the latest x86 5 chipsets, but the 765 back by 6 skin serum.

You should be able to blast through Android titles like Pub g4 night, all that kind of stuff on high detail levels at no problem whatsoever. The Sense wine was made for gaming just at a more affordable price point, and you still have full 5g support here on the edges. Why? Because I actually built them 1?m is built into that chipset. You don't have to supply it separately, like you do with the year 65. So again that helps to cut costs, but, as ever stay tuned for my in-depth Motorola edge review for a proper look at the performance if there are any little stutters or issues or anything like that, see if I managed to get my ass handed to me by schoolchildren as usual, that's for the battery tech, while it's 4500 Williams all in there, so a reasonable size, hopefully, should last you a full day on single charge, and you do have 18 what turbo power wide charging in there.

Not particularly special considering 30 35 watt is pretty much the standard these days even for mid-ranges, but we'll see how the bug affairs with a good bit of everyday use, and now, once again we play the game of. Can my camera actually focus on the taller edges? We turn it over and take a gander at the camera setup. It's actually a triple lens arrangement here on the back, you get a 64 megapixel primary lens, pretty standard these days, f, 1.8, aperture and that's backed by an 8 megapixel telephoto lens, offering 2 times, optical zoom and a 16 megapixel ultra wide-angle lens, which also doubles as a kind of macro lens, and today it's willing camera subject is a creepily, realistic, bold thing that I swear one day is gonna, come to life and murder. Me in my sleep know what you get here is the standard Motorola camera app, which is lives and easy to use, despite having a fair number of features packed in there. So of course you're in your auto mode.

As you start up the app you can swap between that and the pro mode with a quick tap up here now you see this just brings up a bunch of manual controls include ISO levels, white balance, etc. , etc. You can shoot in standard, JPEG or raw or both at once, and at any point of course, you can swap between the 64 megapixel primary lens and that telephoto lens. Can you the two times optical zoom, get a real close-up view of those creepy sinister features which are going to come to life at any moment, and it goes that ultra wide-angle lens as well from or pulled out view my, even though it's a sixty-four, megapixel primary lens, as you can see that it shoots it 16 megapixels a resolution by default? These look a bit foreign one pixel villain just out brighten up the shot a bit. If you do want to shoot at full, 64 megapixel resolution.

There is a feature for that, though I'll just give that a quick tap and boom full 64 Megs. So if you're going to be shooting something to be blown up onto a big telescreen or a poster or something that'll, do your job in swap a video mode with a quick tap here. As you see, you got the ultra steady mode, which is handy if you're, walking and shooting. At the same time, you shoot up to 4k Ultra HD resolution footage, although something you cannot do so at 60 frames per second, because you tap here, you've got a little bonus feature selection that you can play around with so, for instance, like to the spot color mode, a Motorola staple night-vision, which can take some nice brighter shots when it's a law light action got your macro mode, which I still think is utterly pointless. It goes good bit of portrait action as well shoots a nice bit, but the body affected to look like you've actually got any studio effects here, actually on the Motorola edge, which you normally do on the mid-range more rollers.

That's a bit weird, but you can play around with the body effect anyway and then, if we swap around 25 megapixel front-facing camera yeah got it as you can see there. Of course, you've got full portrait mode access there as well. So you can shoot yourself, a lovely portrait, shots blur out the background. Otherwise, you can just shoot your standard shot. Do you actually have full Pro controls for that selfie cameras? What you do love these stuff, and you can shoot up to full HD resolution video as well I believe of your gorgeous mug.

Let's check that out yet foolish di1, of course, be fully testing out the motor all that edges camera for my in-depth, a review along with the battery life performance. Everything else that you need to know so the statue but make sure you POC, subscribe ding that notifications bell and all that claptrap to be the first to see when that goes live. And please do let us know your thoughts down in the comments below. As you see the respectable little flagship smartphone for that sort of price point, if you don't appear top dollar for likes for Samsung and I thought. Of course, it will have strong competition from likes the Nokia 8.3 5g, the Realme X, 55 G, and a few other handsets that are around that sort of mid-range price point, but offer a very premium experience as always have a lovely rest of the week and catch you soon. Boy.
