Very nice deal, same fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor as in the Samsung S23 Ultra. Not many were sold in Canada, mainly in the US. This was Motorola’s last true flagship phone. A used S23 Ultra 512GB on FB marketplace goes for $700-$800. Don’t see many current flagship phones for $400. Like Samsung Dex, the Motorola is suppose to do an even better job than the Samsung when using it as a mini PC or emulator. USB port can also connect to an external monitor or headphones.
Updates run until mid 2027 however this phone is officially supported by Lineage OS for extended security updates.
One other thing worth noting is the Canadian version does not have ESIM support, so it’s single SIM. The US version does have ESIM and I am unsure if you can install the US software to gain ESIM and resolve this one drawback.
Note: The Motorola camera software tends to over process pictures, here is the Google camera port that I am using, pictures are now excellent. Just turn on HDR+ enhanced, night mode can be hit a or miss so use normal mode and avoid taking slow motion videos.. Compare with the stock camera and use whichever one you prefer.
