CAMERA: Fair—6.3/10
SIZE: Large Android
BATTERY: Very Good—8.8/10
The Motorola Edge+ (2023) offers a good balance of features for its midrange price. With a glass body and a large 5100mAh battery, it promises solid battery life, lasting over 9 hours. It sports a 6.67-inch curved OLED display with high brightness and high refresh rate, enhancing visuals. Its triple camera setup, including a 50MP main sensor, provides fair photo and video quality and versatility with HDR10+ video and RAW output. Performance is very good, thanks to 8GB of RAM and the latest Snapdragon chipset. Plus, it retains a 3.5mm headphone jack and supports 5G connectivity. However, if multiple, high-quality cameras are a top priority, you might look into other options as the camera quality is fair, not exceptional. Give Feedback

Ratings by Category
Performance:4.8
The Performance rating is based on GeekBench performance benchmark scores, combined with PerfectRec’s assessment of real-life typical use cases.
Battery Life:4.6
The Battery Life rating is based on overall actual measured battery life during typical usage.
Overall Camera:3.3
The Motorola Edge+ (2023) is labeled as having fair cameras because, while the software experience for taking photos is rated as good, its capability to capture a wide range of light shades (dynamic range) and performance in low light settings are considered poor. Additionally, although the camera versatility is described as good, the quality of selfies, which are very important, is only fair.
Photos:3.2
The Motorola Edge+ (2023) captures fair photos primarily because the overall software experience for photography is only rated as good, and although it offers good versatility, it tends to underperform in dynamic range and low light situations.

Joe Maring | May 2023
"Just about everything I want in a high-end Android phone is here. The Edge Plus looks and feels [sic] great, the display is outstanding, performance is rock-solid, the software is organized and helpful, battery life is phenomenal, and it doesn’t take too long to get the phone back to 100% when it does eventually die. The best part? You get all of that for hundreds of dollars less than similar phones from Google and Samsung."
