Camera Camera Camera...
Update 1: Phone still works great but man is that vibration horrible, in my pocket I CANNOT feel the vibration I almost want to lower it by one more star because of that. Still missing my Zoom!! I wish they would have made a new Zoom.
First I would like to say THANK YOU to Mororola for putting the FP Reader back on the back!!!!
I have always felt that the Motorola One Zoom (NO OTTERBOX! @%##) was the best phone Motorola made out of the several I have used I would have gotten the 2021 Stylus but they moved the FP reader to the side power button which doubles as the FP Reader. Normal press power buttons rarely fail the soft touch that doubles as a FP reader fail plenty. So pass...
This phone is now my new favorite but it does have 2 downsides that the Zoom didn't have this phones camera is so so but the flash is very weak (flashlight is terrible, the Zoom has 2) the Zoom took amazing pictures day or night and the Ace's camera just can't keep up, the Zoom's was really fast and responsive. I am not picky about pictures (so I won't return it) as long as they are clear as I don't take a lot of pictures but the difference is noticeable. I don't take selfies so I cannot comment on that part of the camera.
Zoom also has Panda King glass (better then nothing I guess) for its screen the Ace is not showing any type of strong glass that I can find information about. It does have HDR10 but no high refresh rate like other phones. My movies encoded in 1080p play and look great.
Battery life in the first few days has been pretty darn good as I added and updated and tested like any new phone. The phone is fast and responsive to the touch and I must agree what somebody else said the vibration could be stronger. AND it has an Otterbox for it.
I am a gamer but not on phones but I am getting 400FPS in Solitaire!!?????
This is the lowest Snapdragon that can do 5G it is a lot more powerful then all the other Moto's almost all others below this price use 730's and the 6 series. So it seems to hit 5G and to keep the price down they used regular glass a weaker camera and no high refresh rate. I am of course comparing it to the Zoom which btw also doesn't have a high refresh rate.
I use AT&T my sim card is about a year old and I didn't have to get a new one I just put my old one in and I see the 5G network sign didn't have to call or see anybody at AT&T.
I will update after a week or two of use.
