Motorola has officially presented the Edge 50 Pro as the first entry in the Edge 50 series. Equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset and a 144 Hz pOLED display that outputs at 1220p, the Motorola Edge 50 Pro also has a 50 MP f/1.4 primary camera supported by OIS and a 4,500 mAh battery that supports 125 W wired and 50 W wireless charging for the equivalent of $383.
You mean “Lenovo releases new 5G mid-range smartphone with 125 W charging and 144 Hz OLED display under the Motorola brand”?
Why is, being owned by Lenovo a con?
Spyware?
They don’t even have ads. What Spyware are we talking about?
I’m guessing. Lenovo has had spyware on their laptops for a long time IIRC.

That was on their laptops from Lenovo. There’s no evidence you have the same on Motorola.
That’s kind of like saying a CEO that has ruined every company they’ve worked at won’t do the same at the next. Kind of like saying if google bought tails Linux, it would be a privacy based OS.
Lenovo has a history, they certainly may not tell the world they’ve done some shady things, that remains to be found. But their history is not looking good.
Lenovo may have a history. But, Motorola doesn’t. Besides, there has been no evidence about motorola doing shady stuff and they have been under Lenovo for so long. According to a recent review they wanted to become the no.3 smartphone seller. It’s unlikely they would do this to ruin their reputation.
There are so many flaws in this argument I don’t even know where to begin. Lack of evidence doesn’t mean a thing is not or hasn’t happened. Of course they want to become a higher level smartphone seller, that’s literally the goal of a corporation. To make profits. A business operates in a way and they have a mentality and they will lead with that mentality until those that brought in that mentality are gone.
Look at Facebook and WhatsApp. For example:

Because Lenovo is a chinese company and people think motorola is an american one. Either way, you are better off buying xiaomi/poco but americans are ignorant of these brands(because they are not being sold in the US).
So every time some chinese company like motorola or nothing, markets a phone to America, americans have their minds blown that there are cheaper but good phones available. But in Europe, these phones are available and very popular. Xiaomi is probably more popular than samsung and apple, especially in poorer countries. Even in “western” Europe, xiaomi has 15% market share, samsung 35% and apple 33%.
If you are willing to ignore the fact that xiaomi is a chinese company, they are offering amazing value for money products. Which is why they keep offering more and more products, including cars. And while i cannot speak for their other products, xiaomi/poco phones are great. Especially poco, if you dont care about cameras but care about performance/soc. Poco is a subbrand of xiaomi.
If they have the cell bands you want in the US - which they don’t necessarily.
True, i dont know the network situation in the US.
Any xiaomi phone without the play store is trash though so do your homework people.
I think all Xiaomis(sold in Europe) have Google Store. Huawei is the one without Google Store.
Some of their laptops are still great but TBH it really took a dive some years later after post-IBM
