      Hi chromeuser, thank you for sharing your experience with us, and sorry to hear that you encounter a concern with your device in terms of Wi-Fi calling. To give you a heads-up, Wi-Fi calling is
      an additional feature coming from carriers. You can contact your carrier and check also if the
      device is eligible, you may also refer to this link at https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/161593/~/motorola-edge-%282021%29-carrier-compatibility. Your Motorola Edge 2021 shows here that T-Mobile, Google Fi, and Metro Pcs
      are the only carrier offering Wi-Fi calling. I hope this works. -Ythan MotorolaMobility

    this is a 100.00 dollar phone at best. Bought 2 of them hoping to get at least a serviceable unlocked inexpensive phone for my wife and myself. Not a good phone at all. Dropped calls , no service on one phone while the other had full bars and worked fine, then vice a versa.

    Mainly bought this for the camera. Looked up lots of reviews that said it was good. I'm beyond disappointed. If I was within the return period I would absolutely take it back. Worst camera I've had since flip phones. Blurs at even the slightest movement.

    I bought this phone why I had the edge of last year and I liked it a lot and these tel are expensive it is true but they are very good quality and this model with 8gb 256 storage with 5g full here in Pennsylvania take 5g as long as possible very good battery and the processor is very powerful can with any game you put a beautiful screen and a fast charge of 30w is very well on paper it feels very premium it is trueAnd although it seems not logical this screen I see it better than the other has many extra functions of Motorola and will also receive Android 12 last year's chassis was aluminum this year is plastic

    Just ok

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I upgraded to the Moto edge 2021 from my Moto Z2. Things I like better are obviously the camera, battery life, ram/memory, etc. What I'm disappointed with is the size of the phone, it's longer than the moto Z2 and it can be hard to hold in my hand and multitask. You really need two hands to operate it. Also, the glass screen already cracked on me! My wife has had her google pixel for a few years now and it also has a glass screen but has never cracked. I blame the length of the phone/screen as a poor design. The crack is on the top right of the screen. I even had bought a protective case. Overall it's ok.

    Nice choice in a Mid-range Phone

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I think that the Moto Edge 2021 and Moto Edge + are both nice choices from Motorola. The Edge 2021 comes with RAM Boost which temporarily allocates another 2Gb of RAM to the 8Gb which the phone has allocated. This gives the Edge 10Gb of RAM while running an intensive application. This phone also has a large and pretty display. It comes with a generous battery. I wish it had a head phone jack. Only T-Mobile and Verizon allows the 2021 model to have 5g connectivity. The other carriers will only allow 4g speed. I assume it's their way to force customers into purchasing their phones for 5g connectivity. Carriers have done these things in the past. I really like this phone; and I will probably be changing my phone service at the end of the month. I am delighted that I got it on sale. This is a nice choice, regardless...
