My picks:
Android 16
eSIM (safer)
120Hz Display
Gorilla Glass 7i
5200 mAh Battery
30W charging (~30 mins)
MIL-STD-810H compliant
IP68/IP69 dust water resistant

It is faster than my old phone, yet security updates take 5 times longer to install. Upgrading from stock to Android 16 took several hours compared to half an hour on Samsung.
 
Are there many bundled apps?
It is like Windows Start. Tons of useless apps, games and Moto App Manager supposedly downloads them at random by itself, but it can be disabled.

Ive always been thinking motorola was one of the cleanest android, less bloated than others, but lately they have added stuff like you mentioned, sure its good that it can be disabled atleast.

Sure they have good specs, but i have never bought one as they live on the edge with updates, but the new motorola 'signature' promises even 7 years of security updates so , maybe theyre improving and one could use motorola for years instead of 2 years of updates
