•1) Look & Feel (13.5/15)
•1) Look & Feel (13.5/15)
Looks come in the form of 2 beautiful colors Smoky Sangria & Thunder Gray. Among which the Smoky Sangria does make this Motorola Edge+ stand apart.
It carries dimensions of 161.07 x 71.38 x 9.6 mm (Length x Width x Thickness) & Weigh's 203g which should feel slightly more comfortable & manageable in palm of your hand.
The build uses 3D curved Corning Gorilla Glass 5 (almost 90 degree around both sides) on front & back along with aluminium 6000 Series frame to provide solid feel and the curved edges & sides of the glass to provide comfortable feel.

•2) Display (13/15)
The display quality comes from 6.7' FHD+ 2340x1080 pixels resolution OLED panel having 385 ppi density (sharpness) in 19:5:9 aspect ratio (cinematic). The display supports HDR10+ (better dynamic range), 90Hz refresh rate (smoother UI experience), DCI-P3 color space (wider color gamut), 10-bit Color Display (1 billion colors), Display models (preset display calibration settings).
Considering all the above put together along with higher brightness & contrast (better sunlight visibility) should provide you a display with excellent quality & amazing viewing experience.

The awesome features list include Single nano SIM slot, 4G LTE/LTE-A with VoLTE & VoWi-Fi, 5G Ready (Sub-6 & mmWave), Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, Dual-Band (2.4G+5G) & Wifi 6), Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, GPS (GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, BDS (except US) & A-GPS), Sensors (In-display fingerprint, Accelerometer, Compass, Gyroscope, Ambient light, Proximity, Sensor Hub, Barometer, USB Type-C, Dual stereo speakers with Waves, 3.5mm headphone jack, But misses out on Official IP68 Certification (Comes with water repellent design).
There is Single RAM of 12GB LPDDR5 & Storage of 256 GB UFS 3.0 with Turbo Write variant on offer.
•4) Performance (18.5/20)
•4) Performance (18.5/20)
The internals is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SOC (7nm+ Fabrication) which is an Octa-Core processor (1x2.84 Ghz Kryo 585, 3x2.42 Ghz Kryo 585 & 4x1.8 Ghz Kryo 585), Adreno 650 graphics, 12GB RAM & 256GB storage.
The software on-board is Stock Android 10 with few software features to let you customize some options as per your taste & requirements.
The performance should be excellent thanks to all the tech inside, which would handle all your daily tasks (Faster app & game loading times, Better Multitasking & Smoother UI operations) with ease and for all the gamers out there you should be able to play all demanding games (PubG, Asphalt 9, Call of Duty Mobile & list goes on) smoothly without any lag or drop in frame rates in high settings to enjoy high level of detail from the game-play. Also thanks to dual stereo speakers the audio quality should be great as well which ads to immersive experience (gaming & video watching).
What ads to sustained performance is the RAM management which is my favorite part and here too the performance is quite excellent for 2 reasons,
What ads to sustained performance is the RAM management which is my favorite part and here too the performance is quite excellent for 2 reasons,
•Firstly, There is plenty of RAM available on-board.
•Secondly, The RAM management itself is done quite excellent (efficient utilization of RAM) to enhance overall performance.

The overall image quality from 8MP telephoto lens should be great (great in daylight & very good in low light). The overall image quality from 16MP ultrawide lens should be great (great in daylight & very good in low light), also this ultrawide lens doubles up as macro lens too & the quality should be very good.

Talking about image & video quality from 25MP front camera should be quite great overall (very good in day light & quite good in low light).
•6) Battery (14/15)
Talking about battery life the increase in battery capacity from its predecessor (2730 mah on Moto Z2 Force) and thanks to better & efficient S865 SOC (S835 on Moto Z2 Force) while keeping same FHD+ screen resolution you can easily expect much better battery life from Motorola Edge+. One place where it consumes more juice is the addition of 5G modem (when using) which in india currently there is no 5G yet & 90Hz display refresh rate.
SOT (Screen On Time) : upto 8h Avg*.
Battery Life : upto 2 day Avg*.
*Above stats give you better understanding of the screen on time and battery life which you can expect in real world (Note : Battery life depends on one's usage (light/medium/heavy), task (video watching/gaming/camera) & network (wifi/5G/4G/3G). Based on one's usage, task & network above SOT & Battery Life will increase/decrease respectively.
