But no sd card, or changeable battery, or audio jack. Vote with your wallets. I like moto G series, but edge lines are terrible
- I have an edge 30 pro and I'm super happy with it. There is no bloatware at all, default android experience, and great battery time.
  I tend to recommend Motorola to people who care about those things.
  
  Edge 30 Fusion here, quite happy. If only it had an audio jack...
  But that thing is really starting to disappear, and I'm not going to pay an highly expensive Xperia just for that.
  
  How are the thermals? I hear they have heating issues due to their slim profile.
- Yeah, it's unfortunate sdcard is not a staple feature in higher midrange and flagship smartphones.
  User replaceable batteries may make a comeback due to EU regulation.
- I don't even really care about fast charging. As long it can fully charge while I'm asleep I don't care if it takes all night.
If someone offers the slimmest phone, I have some doubts regarding structural integrity. Especially, the way I (unintentionally) often treat my phone, it'll probably bend or break within weeks.
- But, this one offers Military grade certification for durability. This should be better than other slim smartphones.
  
  Military grade impresses everyone but those who served.
  In the mind of a soldier military grade is the cheapest, mass produced item that barely does the job, can be abandoned on the battlefield without regrets 😅
  
  Is that a protected term where you live? In Germany a lot of products, including the cheapest and crappiest ones, are advertised as military grade and that doesn't give any indication on quality or durability.
  e.g.
What? The slimmest?
That certainly is a feature everyone cares about.

- The performance of phones are almost irrelevant these days for most people. What matters is how they look, their battery time and if they have a good user experience without forced shitty apps.
  Being slim is nice too because why not. :)
- I've been realizing over the past weeks that phone weight in my hand significantly influences how I type, so I would indeed like a lighter phone. This one does catch my eye.
