Not warm at all except when charging with the super charger. This is for the edge 30 though, maybe 40 or 50 have different thermals since they have more powerful cpu.
I’m currently looking at edge 50 as a replacement but not sure which one to get. But not the ultra, very expensive and not worth it.
Changable batteries, maybe, for the environment. But I’ve never used a phone long enough for this to matter because unoptimized software starts crippling phones after 4 years anyway.
This is absolute bollocks. Unless you are buying dogshit budget phones, they all continue to run fine after 4 years. I have phones from 2017 and 2018 that continue to operate without major issue today. Until very recently most Android phones weren’t even receiving feature updates beyond 4 years so I suspect you’ve just completely fabricated this story to justify your upgrades.
The OnePlus 12 was released less than a year ago. It has 3 1/2 years of software changes ahead of it. You are proving my point here by implying a 7 month old phone needs to be replaced after a single bad update.

So you admit that age is not actually the relevant factor here? Your complaint is bad updates, not the age of a device. And if bad updates are the problem, which you admitted they aren’t for you when you said you’d “never used a phone long enough for this to matter” then your claim that replaceable batteries are irrelevant is also nonsensical. It’s as I suspected: you’ve concocted some weird fictional narrative as a coping mechanism for the cognitive dissonance that comes with repeatedly replacing phones that are absolutely fine.
But no sd card, or changeable battery, or audio jack. Vote with your wallets. I like moto G series, but edge lines are terrible
I have an edge 30 pro and I’m super happy with it. There is no bloatware at all, default android experience, and great battery time.
I tend to recommend Motorola to people who care about those things.
Edge 30 Fusion here, quite happy. If only it had an audio jack…
But that thing is really starting to disappear, and I’m not going to pay an highly expensive Xperia just for that.
How are the thermals? I hear they have heating issues due to their slim profile.

Yeah, it’s unfortunate sdcard is not a staple feature in higher midrange and flagship smartphones.
User replaceable batteries may make a comeback due to EU regulation.

People lie to themselves all the time to justify wasteful consumerism.

That’s not what you said originally:

I don’t even really care about fast charging. As long it can fully charge while I’m asleep I don’t care if it takes all night.
