You Can Buy a Motorola Moto Edge+ Phone for $400 Right Now
There are plenty of phones that promise top-notch performance for under a grand, but few deliver quite like the Motorola Moto Edge+ (2023). Now available for just $399.99, down from its original $649.99 price tag, this unlocked model is at its lowest price ever, according to price-tracking companies . That’s a steep drop for a phone that PCMag named an Editor’s Choice . It comes in Interstellar Black with 8GB of RAM and a generous 512GB of storage. The design lives up to its name, with curved edges that wrap around a nearly bezel-less 6.7-inch display with matte Gorilla Glass Victus to help keep the phone in your hand and resist fingerprints — and the whole package is IP68-rated , meaning you don’t have to worry about rain or dust.
In terms of performance, it’s solid across the board thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Everyday tasks run smoothly, multitasking feels effortless, and even demanding games like Genshin Impact can run well (just not at max settings). It also helps that the screen refreshes at 165Hz , making scrolling smoother and games more responsive. That said, you’re not getting the sharpest display out there (1080p, pOLED, 395ppi), and you can feel the difference if you’re using a 1440p screen like the Pixel 7 Pro , but it’s still bright (1,300 nits peak brightness) and colorful. There’s no headphone jack, but the stereo speakers impress with real depth and clarity (according to this PCMag review ), and it supports Bluetooth 5.3, so connecting wireless headsets shouldn’t be an issue. Call quality is also top-notch, with reliable signal support on major 5G and 4G networks in the US.
This phone’s camera system includes a 60-megapixel front-facing camera that delivers social-ready, detailed selfies, while the rear trio (50-megapixel wide, 50-megapixel ultra-wide, 12-megapixel telephoto) takes clean, crisp photos and stable 4K or 8K video. Features like Night Vision, Pro mode, and Motorola’s surprisingly good Portrait mode make it easy to get more out of every shot. Add to that Motorola’s clean Android skin, fun gesture controls (My UX), and enterprise-grade ThinkShield support, and you’re looking at a phone that works as well for everyday users as it does for businesses. If you’re okay with the display not being the highest resolution, this is one of the best deals on a flagship -level Android phone right now.
