That is not amazing battery life, that is "low end smartphone with a decent battery" battery life. My moto g6 plus delivers that kind of battery life. So did my previous phone. Granted, it is not the iOs experience, and the performance is not that of a phone for 3x as much, but I am over all very satisfied.

Not only that, Motorola has pledged to provide official parts when the devices become older.

So, amazing battery life?

You are saying it gets the same battery life as a low-end smartphone, with 1/10th the performance and 1/50th the experience (numbers mine). If it's better at all those things, and still has that battery life, then it's much much better than that other thing...

I wanted a high end phone, but looking at my use case I didn't need one. I chose one that can be repaired down the line.

It lags slightly in the app tunable,but other than that a phone for 9k SEK would be waste of money.

>1/10th the performance and 1/50th the experience

>(numbers mine)

Yeah right, they better be.

For a car analogy, you're saying that a supersized SUV getting 25MPG is "amazing mileage".

It's not.

Low end? the iPhone Xr is using the fastest Apple SoC available for Smartphones, which is probably the fastest Mobile Phone SoC available out there. Same as the iPhone Xs. That's not low-end in my book.
No, I meant that that is comparabable to a low end phone with a decent battery. Of course, performance sucks, but I don't really do anything processor intensive.
