It might be inaccurate to say that Motorola has been completely out of the game when it comes to smartphones, because their G lineup is still one of the best budget friendly phones money can buy. However, it is the flagship tier that we have failed to see any progress from the company. There have been half hearted tries but they are certainly not enough to get back into the game when comparing with others like Samsung and Apple. However, with the Edge Plus, Motorola finally aims to make a statement of their own.

These specs are flagship level and with the curves and punch holes, Motorola really seems to be making an effort to get into the big leagues, but there is still a long way to go. The camera seems to be not the best and we could have happier with faster charging times. Regardless to say, it still is a pretty strong step from Motorola to show to its competitors that it still has fuel in the engine!
