I have been waiting a long time for a "flagship" moto. Really, I have missed Moto so much that I just wanted a OLED moto w/ a headphone jack. But the Edge seemed to check a lot off my list. Unfortunately I have been dismayed with what I received... NO OPTION FOR WIFI CALLING. :(
... a few perplexing things on Moto's part.
-Buggy out of box -
OS must have froze/shutdown several times trying to do normal setup
-Case provided falls off phone-
Case way to large to fit on phone. Basically useless. Falls off if you go to grab phone by case. More dangerous than not having one at all
-Finger zoom-
For some reason I cannot zoom on normal pictures, text, ect. Very odd. I have an LG, several Motos and a XIOAMI phones next to me where I am able to zoom in apps, web pages where the Edge I cannot. I don't understand this at all
-NO OPTION ANYWHERE FOR WIFI CALLING- This may be the dealbreaker. I have LOTS of android phones including about five Motos (going back to G4) and they all at least have the option for Wifi calling (depends on carrier if it actually works) but the Edge does NOT even have it as an option. WHY MOTO, WHY???
-I love gestures and they seem to work fine but what it the One Button Nav for? It's still taking screen space but doesn't do anything? Very odd.
If anyone is having these issues and it's human error - PLEASE LET ME KNOW - I really, truly hope my issues are human error, specifically the WIFI CALLING. Please, anyone, let me know if you have any info regarding. Thanks!
UPDATE- After I sent this review, went on XDA and Motorola forums; I was told to root among other things. I did notice the battery life from the time I took out of the box was not near as advertised. After a few hours from a full charge I was on 20%. I thought perhaps it was bc I was setting up, downloading apps, ect. Day 2, I intentionally only started the phone, took SIM out and put in another for my driver that day (No wifi calling with ATT so cannot use at work). Phone just say on my desk all day and with a full charge, by 3pm it was down to 40% - NOT BEING USED.
Then yesterday I noticed the screen developing a purple "bruise" on the side. It kept flickering and eventually grew so much it went into my main screen.
So, this phone has been a complete mess since taken out of this box.
Thankfully Amazon made it simple for me to get a replacement which I did. I truly hope I received a lemon.
If my replacement has the same type issues, then....
I will update.

Updated (8/26): Quality issue with screens, Moto audio can be frustrating. Ok phone, but not for me.

UPDATE 5 (8/26/2020): Ultimately, a return.
It's sad to say but I am returning this phone. While it was replaced by motorola the screen is starting to exhibit a graininess or splotchy issue at low light. I just can't trust this phone nor it's screen to last past the year warranty. The edge is also not something that I can really put up with long term. Watching videos just doesn't feel right on a curved screen.
Maybe this phone is for you, maybe I got two duds. Either way enjoy what you like but keep an eye out on your own device.
UPDATE 4 (8/17/2020): Patience is strong with this phone
The replacement phone that Motorola sent me does not have any screen issues 6 days later. People are reporting that the issues usually occur within the first 2 - 3 days so I think as long as it doesn't show any issues after a week you may be ok. It's still very hard to swallow a potential screen issue at the full retail price or any price for that matter. For those of us that purchased it at the discounted rate when it first launched, It is a good value still to me.
However, if you need a phone that does phone things and are not a power user or don't really care about 5g (Which you shouldn't really unless it helps your coverage in rural area's), the Pixel 4a is my recommended pick. Or wait til the Pixel 4a 5g comes out which should have the same chipset.
UPDATE 3 (8/11/2020): The dawn of a new phone
Well Motorola overnighted me a new a phone. You can see the difference in the screen quality. We'll see if the new phone experiences the same issue. Should start showing after a few days of use.
UPDATE 2 (8/10/2020): The Motorola Replacement Saga
I reached out to Motorola about the phone issue. There are A LOT of reports of the green tint issue on the screen on low light. It's possible the first batch is faulty so if you do get a replacement from Amazon directly it may not be better. Hopefully the replacement phone has a fixed screen, however if the 2nd replacement is faulty this will be returned to Amazon for a refund. People are reporting if you're ok in the first 3 - 4 days your screen is fine but this is just... not acceptable for the price.
UPDATE 1 (8/5/2020): (Keeping original review below this)
After using this phone for little more over four days, it is exhibiting issues similar to the Moto Edge + with the display. The display has a green tint to it at night under low light conditions. It's almost like a green haze and it's the upper half of the display (See attached photo). This makes sense as it uses the same display panel as the Moto Edge + which also has the green tint issue on some devices. If you encounter this issue it's possible it could be fixed via software but I would request a new device through Amazon or Motorola or just return it.

TL;DR - If you like to listen to music through bluetooth, there is a quirky fix that you may need to do if the music sounds flat or is missing bass.
If you enjoy listening to music through Bluetooth, this is a bit of a mixed bag. There is an app called Moto Audio that always has an EQ and some weird tuning for any audio output through Bluetooth. It makes music sound incredibly tinny and flat and just plain awful. USB-C adapters or headphones plugged into the headphone jack disables this EQ however. There may be an option to disable the Moto Audio for bluetooth in the app itself, but the EQ may still remain. To fix this, plug in a pair of headphones either through the headphone jack or the USB-C port, and then unplug it and go back to your Bluetooth. The sound should be back to it's full and normal sound. Not sure if I got a weird bug but it the EQ continued to persist on my phone even with it being disabled initially.
Otherwise it's a very nice phone. The screen is pretty vibrant and the 90hz refresh rate is nice. VoLTE and WiFi calling are working on T-Mobile through Straight Talk which is great. You'll be able to use this phone when T-Mobile phases out 3G calling starting on Jan 1st 2020. Also getting a 5G signal which is cool.
No issues with the finger print sensor, works well with a screen protector (plastic) applied. The supplied case is nice as well since there are limited options available for this phone.
The speakers are quite nice and loud too, music sounds pretty clean through them.
With phones becoming more and more expensive, this is a pretty nice phone for the price. Sure there are cheaper phones but the 5G support, 765G Chipset, headphone jack, some water resistance and the design, I'd say this is a good mid-high range phone.

Got product delivered today...
So far so good... The endless display nd camera is pretty good.... Doesn't contain any unwanted prr-installed apps.. Only noticable drawback is the phone is a bit thicker but tolerable... Screen fingerprint sensor does good jobs... Good stereo sound for watching videos....
In short... It's a great bang for the money...
