After a long break, Motorola is back with the Motorola Edge Plus -- the flagship smartphone from the company with the latest and great hardware available in the market. Even in terms of design, the Motorola Edge Plus looks premium with a 3D curved design on the front and back of the smartphone. At the front, the device has a 6.7-inch dual-curved display with a tiny punch-hole cutout. The screen offers FHD+ resolution with HDR+ support and a peak refresh rate of 90Hz. In fact, the screen looks a lot like the one on the OnePlus 8 Pro.
Motorola Edge Plus: Hardware Performance
The Motorola Edge Plus is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC with 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. The device does not support microSD card slot but it does feature a 3.5mm headphone jack. In terms of raw performance, the Motorola Edge Plus is one of the fastest smartphones in the country, thanks to high-end hardware and stock Android OS. The device can play games like PUBG and Fornite, and COD: Mobile without any issue. In fact, all these games can be played with graphics set to max and the device will not face any issue and the same holds up for the regular usage as well.
Motorola Edge Plus: Camera Performance
This is the first Motorola smartphone to use a 108MP camera sensor along with a 16MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8MP telephoto lens. The device does have a 25MP selfie camera with an F/2.0 aperture. The Motorola Edge Plus is one of the best camera smartphones in the world, thanks to the highest resolution smartphone camera that takes native 27MP images and it also supports OIS. In low-light and regular lighting conditions, the Motorola Edge Plus takes excellent photos on the main sensor. However, the same cannot be said about the ultra-wide angle and the telephoto lens.

It is not the best value-for-money smartphone, but it is a well-priced flagship for sure.

Rating a smartphone is a tedious process and a lot of parameters have to be considered before judging the overall performance of the device such as display, camera, processor, RAM, storage, battery, and the pricing.
So, here are how these specs will affect the real-life usage of a device and why how we meticulously consider each of these points to rate a smartphone.
Cameras have evolved a lot over the last few years and multi-camera setup is a new norm. We consider various parameters like MP count, aperture size, pixel size, image stabilization to rate a camera system of a smartphone out of 5. Any device that scores more than 3.5 can take good photos and videos and if a phone scores over 4, then it will be one of the best camera smartphones in the market.
Though battery seems like an underrated feature and we look at the battery capacity, fast charging supporting technology, and even the wireless charging capability is also taken into consideration to rate smartphone's battery capability.
The display is the face of a smartphone. And there are a lot of parameters like the panel technology (IPS LCD, OLED, TFT) and other parameters also taken into consideration like the resolution, pixel density, and refresh rate.
A smartphone could have great specs, but if it is not priced well then you might not get the best value-for-money. So, we compare a smartphone with the contemporaries to rate the value-for-money of a device out of 5.
This aspect is decided on various sub specifics, such as availability of microSD card slot, the amount of RAM the device offers, processor capability, and the network support. This parameter has more weightage when compared to other departments.
