18W Charger
USB Type-C Cable
Protective Back Cover
SIM Tool

Q: Not a question but a comment internal storage is specs how 256Gb while the main title results show 64gb may want to get that fixed

A: What is funny, the agent I chatted with say it's 64GB and what is written on the spec list is a typo :) OMG

Q: 256GB is chesp. But 64GB is not cheap. please confirm. Is 64GB or 256GB? Thank you very much.

A: We apologize for the confusion, Jesse. Our Moto Edge 5G has an internal storage of 256GB. Thank you for being understanding. - Mike

Q: Does it support international roaming?

A: Yes. It works with any service

Q: Is this phone compatible with Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE

A: for VoLTE, I chatted with Moto and was told it is network dependent so I chatted with Tmo and they told me VoLTE will be supported. I took a screenshot of our chat transcript just in case :)

Q: Does this phone support wifi calling?

A: Yes, RDC76. This phone is wifi calling capable phone. However, this feature is carrier dependent. We suggest contacting your preferred carrier to confirm if they'll support these features on this device. -Jess

Q: Does it have wi-fi calling?

Q: Does the screen issue was resolved by now? any input would be much appreciated! Thank you

A: My initial unit had the display issues. I sent it back to Motorola after they'd shipped me a replacement. no issues since then.

Q: Yes; This phone states it works on AT&T. My question is since AT&T merged with Cricket; Is it compatible with Cricket Network now because its only says AT&T in connectively, not Cricket ? Do you have to state all Networks in description to make it work ?

A: Yes, this phone will work on Cricket Wireless. It works on any carrier including MVNOs that use a particular carrier. For example, I use Mint Mobile with the Edge and I get great coverage and 5G from TMobile network. Having said that, as of now, while the phone will work on Cricket, you will NOT get 5G with it, only 4G LTE. If you don't care about not having 5G then you're good to go.

Solid phone for a great price
+ is a pro leaning, - is a con leaning. I've had this phone for about two months now and I can give you a good rundown of all the features and quirks. MKBHD does a decent review of the Verizon only version of this phone, the Edge +, but he is a little harsh on it imo. Display: + So I want to say that this phone has an amazing display. It's not the leader of the market but really good for a mid-ranger. The waterfall display is going away due to the accidental touch problems but I hardly ever get an accidental touch on this phone. It also has these awesome little graphics specifically for the edge. Like plugging it in or getting a notif. All in all the Trademark of this phone. Also I would say this beats the Samsung Galaxy that had the waterfall display. Battery: + At 4500Mah, the phone will last you all day. I'm definitely a heavy user at more than 6+ hours of screentime. I have about 25% at the end of the day. If you need to charge it tho, the rapid charger (18W+/-)does supply a somewhat fast charge but not as fast as their HyperOne(65W). Also, the charger is a USB male port to USB-C, which is aggravating since almost all phones I think now come with dbl sided USB-C. Camera: + Just because this is pro leaning, doesn't mean it's like an Iphone or Samsung. But overall this camera has amazing Lowlight capability. The telephoto is clear enough if you want something like 50 yards away any further and it's blurry. And the macro is good but the focus is hard to grab. The few gripes is that, for the price without a sale on it, it needs to be more crisp and a more natural color. The bokeh is ok but needs some work. And then they need to have a image stabilization for both the photos and video. I means it's 2020, this should be standard. But other than that the video is real nice in 60fps. Not to mention the transfer to other viewers like a PC or to Facebook, it's about the same with what you see. Consistency: - I don't have to money to buy a lot of nice phones, but I will say is that before I bought this phone. I did some research on it but they did a good job at hiding the negative news on it. Which is that, the phones had a ton of display issues. The one I received, worked perfectly fine for about 5 days until a dead pixel on the edge scrambled my phone and left a weird glitch that would burn what I was viewing onto the screen. Also had just black spots and green hues everywhere. It degraded the quality of the display too. It was awful, luckily it was before 7 days and Best Buy came in with the Clutch and replaced the phone for free. This phone now is all good and no problems at all. So far. Service and 5G: + Now... All I gotta say is.... Holy cow. This is fast with the 5G. And even when not in 5G coverage the 4G is improved dramatically. Even working in buildings where it usually doesn't work. Also in low coverage areas have improved. The only downside is that sometimes I have to restart the phone because it loses service altogether for idk what reason but a quick reset does the job. Bluetooth and devices: - So... The bluetooth is fast and easy to find devices fast however the multiple devices support is kinda iffy. When it connects to my smartwatch while also connected to my headphones. It sometimes disconnects my watch but not my headphones, I'm guessing giving my headphones priorities. That was annoying but I'm sure software updates can help that out. Overall: + Solid phone. Solid Specs. Fast and reliable as long as its not a defective one. I want to mention that I got this phone on sale on Black Friday for literally 300$ off... It was a steal. If I bought the phone full price, then I might've left a harsher review but you can't beat the price for how good this phone is.

Premium Smartphone for Not Premium Price!
I am an IT Admin for a medium-sized company (200-300 employees) and have been an iPhone user since the first one, now use a 12 Pro Max as my daily driver. As a tech enthusiast, I have owned a few Android devices along the way as well, most recently a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (lost to theft, 10.2020). Recently at my company we decided to replace our biometric door access systems across all 12 offices with an application that must be installed on a smartphone and uses Bluetooth to authenticate employee door access. I already had spare iPhones on hand to test the software, so I needed an Android device to test as well. As the phone would not be used as my personal phone, I did not want to spend a ton of money on it, having spent over a grand on the Note 20 Ultra which was only used for me to personally test cellular network quality in my region and was stolen. After much searching, I found the Edge 5G and the price was right… got it as an open-box item at Best Buy for less than $400. The Edge 5G came with Android 10 out of the box and sports some premium features usually only found in flagship phones- face unlock, under screen fingerprint sensor and a gorgeous 6.7” OLED screen with a respectable 90Hz refresh rate. It feels premium beyond it's $400 cost when held in the hand and as the owner of many $1000+ flagship smartphones, I feel that the screen on this $400 Edge 5G is equally as gorgeous as those vastly more expensive phones. Also, the Edge 5G is considerably lighter than the Note and iPhone, and the screen is a bit narrower than those phones which makes it much more comfortable to hold and use with one hand. It plays my games and movies just as well as my Note and iPhone, but I find that navigating the OS can be a little less smooth, transitions are more abrupt and not as smooth as my flagships, but this is more of an aesthetic nitpick rather than a functional problem. Now for the few ‘negatives’ I have found with the phone…. First, compared to my Note and most definitely compared to my iPhone, the Edge’s face unlock is clunky at best and nearly useless. It fails most of the time, does not work well in the dark and will not work at all if I’m wearing sunglasses where my iPhone’s face ID works almost flawlessly with or without sunglasses. The under screen fingerprint sensor on the Edge is good, though not as fast as the Note's and iPhone is missing this feature altogether! Second, the curved edges of the screen are a beautiful effect, really make this phone perfect for watching movies, but make some other things exceedingly difficult to do. Moving icons between screens is tricky with the curved edges and I am constantly engaging gesture shortcuts by accidentally touching the sides when trying to swipe through pages of a website. Finally, the back of this phone shows fingerprints easily and can really look disgusting, you should get a case for it BUT… be warned, there is a VERY LIMITED selection of cases for this phone which was surprising to me having only ever ordered cases for flagship phones. Beyond those minor annoyances, I would certainly recommend this phone to anyone who needs an Android phone with a large, gorgeous screen but doesn’t want to spend a month’s rent to get it. Overall, I would say a great value and nice offering on the part of Motorola!
