Motorola's done what it can to mitigate aberrant touches on the sides, but by virtue of a few questionable software decisions, it's far from flawless.

This is a really nice 1080p panel - surely not the best, especially at low brightness, where it crushes blacks - but it's easily visible in direct sunlight, has outstanding touch response, and even with the visual aberrations from the curved edges, is a joy to use.

So it's no surprise that the Edge+ blazes through Android 10, aided by a 90Hz refresh rate no one should mourn for its lack of three digits. This is one of the smoothest, most enjoyable Android experiences you can find outside a Pixel. Typing on this thing is honestly a dream. There's also a really good in-display fingerprint sensor - based on my digging, it's the same one that's found in the OnePlus 8 Pro and Huawei P40 Pro - and best-in-class haptics. Motorola has also leaned hard into the sheer numbers that its $1000 cost would suggest: a Snapdragon 865, 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage, and a 5,000mAh battery. After using it for a week, it's anything but. When I'd only seen this phone in photos, it appeared highly conventional. It also tricks you into perceiving a compactness that isn't really there.

This phone's narrow 71mm body, coupled with its 9.6mm thickness, makes it feel dense in a way few phones do anymore. Problem is that I don't think the Edge+ would look very good in a case - and every case I've seen for a phone with a waterfall display doesn't work that well, anyway - so I'd recommend just being as gentle as possible with this 203-gram monolith. In fact, it's so slippery that even in my hand, on a phone call, it felt precarious. More on that later, but it's a blessing and a curse for this extremely slippery phone - it fell off more than one table, and I had to swap out my bedside charging pad for a stand because it kept falling off the former. The phone wobbles on a table something fierce, though, owing to the massive left-mounted camera bump. The bottom houses the SIM tray and USB-C port, while the top sports what is now a beleaguered legacy, the 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone's top and bottom purposefully contrast with the sloped display by laying flat, decked out with a slightly concave interior that adds a bit of cushion for whatever finger's resting on it.
