EDITORIAL: Motorola is happy to try different things and its middle model has shifted size and target audience a lot: from 7.9mm thickness 2 versions ago, to 6mm in the last iteration, to now back to standard (7.2mm) thickness and just 72mm(3in) width. The build remains excellent and includes full protection from dropps and elements. Screen is sharp, camera improved with addition of a tele lense and PDAF selfie.

Limited to China but sold in India as OnePlus 13S.
