So Moto? Are we just giving up on North America?
The two current "Edge" phones (your premium phones) are the same price.

Someone might look at this and say:
"I want to get the newer phone! What a good deal!"

But the older Edge+ is more powerful and has DOUBLE the storage of the newer Edge phone.
The 2023 model is definitely a better buy, but there's ZERO consumer education on phones other than Apple/Samsung/Google, and Moto isn't really marketing here.

This late in the year, I guess we're just not getting a new Edge+ phone from Moto? Why stay current and compete right?

Like Sony and LG before them, the strategy of "release a good phone, but dont tell anyone about it, until the company totally fades into obscurity" seems to be a LOSING strategy.

Makes my review work load a little easier year over year, but it sucks to lose good competition...

@[email protected] I still have my old X2 from the moto maker with blue leather. It was AWESOME. I wish Moto still had some of that verve. They could legit compete in the USA, but they're basically invisible.
