No word on how long it will get software support though. With everyone else going to 5 or 7 years of updates, Motorola's typical 2 year support cycle is a huge negative.
Remember when Google owned Motorola and they released two of the best Android phones that had ever been made (Moto X)?
Man, that was great. I miss my Moto X 2014. I wish Motorola still made phones that good. I have a G30 spare phone, and it's... well it's a phone.
Sure, yeah, taking on the Pixel without specifying the number of years of OS and feature updates and without GrapheneOS support. Pretty good title for the post
Just add back the headphone jack and SD card slot if you want to take on the Pixel
Taking on the pixel 8 without actual software support or hardware features like expandable storage to back them up. Why would you not get the pixel 8, which would get 7 years of support and replacement parts, unlike Motorola. Not wise of the author to make the comparison to the pixel.
I had a motorola phone once and it didn't have a compass. Yes, I mean the type that shows you where North is. It was a Moto G4. A lot of apps just had seizures because what phone lacks a compass
How do you compete with the pixel if Google locks you out of features.
And lineage will support it for the next few-.... And they dropped support.
The worst thing IMO is the apparent lack of custom Rom support. The latest to still support it would be the Edge 30. Using an Edge 20, it's more than enough for me. It took a long time to roll out Android 13, but for that they integrated their (non intrusive and actually useful) apps very well.
