I have one of the Moto Edges, can’t say I have many complaints outside of the slow charging and a dead pixel that developed a year in.

The edges didn’t bother me as much as I thought it would, I can even use it as trigger to play Citra games which I couldn’t do with a flat phone so that was nifty. Clean software, long battery life, but terrible update schedule though.

    I loved my nexus 6 back in the day (which I believe was made by Motorola). I miss it sometimes today.

    That’s neat by the way: using the edge part of the screen as trigger buttons for Citra.

      Yes, it was made by Motorola. Writing this on my Nexus 6 running Lineage OS. It’s turning a decade old soon and the older it gets the less I am willing to get something new. Nothing like that sweet 16:9 QHD OLED screen with headphone jack and stereo speakers in a metal frame for like 600€ anymore.

        Absolutely. I think mine is still around somewhere, but the screen has a pretty substantial crack if I’m remembering correctly.

        How have you found Lineage OS? I was curious about FOSS phone OS options a while ago.

          Oh yes the large screen cracked at least twice for me and was rather expensive to replace. I also swapped the battery twice.

          I like Lineage and how it extends the life of devices software wise. The Nexus 6 got Android updates up until lately but I think support is being dropped now. I am not too much of a tinkerer so I have not tried other custom roms, lineage just works for me. Also I restrict myself quite a bit more than necessary by avoiding google services and non-foss apps wherever possible. A fun experience but probably not for anyone.
