Editorial
Motorola keeps things interesting with never ending variations of its Edge phones. The Edge 60 gen featured 6 variants (s, Neo, Pro, Fusion, vanilla and Stylus). Here the first ever "Max" model, unlike anything we've ever seen. It is a big phone with good performance and battery life and photo performance that's "reliable" at best. Motorola sets itself apart by frequently adding military standard drop protection to its phones, as is the case here. The screen is top-tier and along with battery life provides for a great experience.
