I have one of the Moto Edges, can't say I have many complaints outside of the slow charging and a dead pixel that developed a year in.

The edges didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, I can even use it as trigger to play Citra games which I couldn't do with a flat phone so that was nifty. Clean software, long battery life, but terrible update schedule though.

Not gonna lie, I'm a little buzzed right now so may be remembering things wrong. However, I think I remember that I had been buying computers from Lenovo for years before all this started, and I had to stop just before this acquisition happened due to serious privacy and security violations. I would normally serach the web for an answer, but at this point I would get an AI answer that says security isn't important and I need to pledge my allegiance to the "god ai."

Yeah, turns out Google just wanted Motorola's patents and were never interested in making phones (until in typical Google fashion they realized they do want to make phones themselves, and so ruined Nexus and started Pixel), so they gutted Moto Mobility and sold the corpse off to Lenovo, who wasn't even in the phone market before then.
