This time last year, I had completely given up on Motorola. The company that made my very first phone and provided plenty of great devices and memories along the way — Razr, Moto X, Moto Z, Moto 360, just to name a few — seemed to be completely devoid of the soul it once had. The company's budget phones were garbage, and even the flagship devices were overpriced and disappointing.
But last Fall, I saw the beginnings of change occurring. Just six months after I had given up all hope of the company making even a moderately decent phone, the Motorola Edge (2022) arrived. It wasn't the best phone of the year or anything — and it's not even the best phone in its price category — but it proved that Motorola was still working on worthwhile devices that could, one day, return it to its former greatness.
