nexgencpu Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Picked up a Moto Z2 at bb for an awesome deal 20/month for 24months with free projector, btw this is a new line deal only ($300 off vs $200 off for upgrades) So far it's a nice device, it isn't quite a replacement for my S8+. But more importantly, so far it's B41 radio performance is definitely better than my S8. I will continue to do more testing, taking a road trip from NYC to NC which will be a nice way of putting it through it's paces. But so far.. Feels really light almost cheap compared to GS8 AMOLED is really over saturated (I kinda like it) Fingerprint in the front is considerably better than the placement of GS8. Nearly stock Android is ultra smooth, definitely miss that on my GS8. Battery life seems promising even though not very large, but too early to tell. Camera seems decent but slow compared to GS8. Will update as the days go by with more info on radio performance.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Galaxy S8 doesn't compare to this phone in the battery department or reception Department. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MileHI38 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Sucks that Motorola skipped out on the 3.5mm jack or else I would've probably tried out the Z2 I find Bluetooth audio lacking which sucks because I listen to audio on the V20 with the quad DAC and it spoils you on the audio quality.

Look for devices that support apt X HD for the highest fidelity audio.. That's one of the reasons I'm picking up a V30. check out a review https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/aptx-hd-vs-chord-mojo/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like with this promo the free projector is still included! May go ahead and pull the trigger on this one! My note 5 is still working good though! Decisions, I was also waiting on the US variant of the Nokia 8 to see if it had Sprint bands included! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MileHI38 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm leaning towards this phone because of the moto mods! I don't know why but this phone is calling my name despite the Note 8 and V30 coming up??....maybe it's the price point @50% off and the mods!

MileHI38 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 That's awesome Unless the V30 blows my socks off (I currently have a V20) and depending on price I'll probably go with the Moto just to try something different from Samsung & LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iruntrains Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Dang, read on Reddit that someone over a few stores said they have replaced 10 phones out of 15 stores sure to them dying! Any word on this other than from that one person? I have a friend that has a Moto through Verizon and don't think it's the same exact phone but had the same mods and she's on her 4th one from it just stopping. Said the screen would go black and could hear the text incoming but couldn't get it to turn on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MileHI38 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hmmm.....Not good! Maybe someone else can chime in with their experience with the phone? That's a high failure rate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MileHI38 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Is this phone HPUE enabled? Basically does it have all of the new enhanced network features that the LG V30 and Note 8 have launched with? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MileHI38 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 That's good to hear! I think I'm going to wait until they drop the price of the phone because my line doesn't have a promotion on it until I pay off my V20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio is more powerful than the Note8(its missing 4x4MIMO on Band 41) Almost equal to the V30 (V30 has 4xCA) vs 3xCA on the Moto. Its one of the best radio performers on Sprint today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealth Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Just bought this device. I can confirm it has stellar radio performance. The s8+ I had would loose LTE in this one area always and this device held onto the signal with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealth Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Is anyone elses ##3282# menu under LTE inaccurate? Mine has LTE roaming blank and band priority messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buyhevs Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 My Moto X Pure's USB port BURNED OUT (using a Motorola, albeit non-Turbocharging charger) in December, and MotoCare replaced it with a seemingly new Moto Z2 Force. I SWORE I wouldn't fall for the Mods, seeing as I own TWO Moto Lapdocks (which are still being used a student project dummy terminal AND a "travel" second monitor for myself); but seeing as a $750 phone fell in my lap in February, I now own the following mods: Amazon Alexa, projector, Incipio extended battery w/ wireless charging, wireless charging fabric shell, and a Moto folio (wallet) on order. ANYWAY, I love the phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
