* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Screen* TOP Protection* TOP Desktop Replacement
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.

SUPERIOR* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Software* TOP Selfie* TOP Video Recording
EDITORIAL: This is a meaningful upgrade of Find X8 Pro. Significantly bigger battery with record breaking endurance, finally an AF on the upgraded selfie, excellent 200MP periscope telephoto that replaced two 50MP zoom lenses and a new customizable action button. Unlike Vivo, Xiaomi and Honor, Oppo likes their phones to be wide. X9 has actually gone a millimeter shorter while staying 76mm wide for a more squarish screen ratio. The imaging performance is almost Ultra level with only some minor complaints.
