Motorola MA560 Review

Quote from the review:

“One of the most overlooked consumer electronics out there are home phones. We use our home phones everyday yet, there are very few resources out there which help us make a wise purchasing decision when it comes to these items. Up until now, Consumer Reports has been probably the only place where you can find reviews on home phones. We have decided to start broadening our coverage here at Designtechnica to include home office corded phones and cordless phones. Kicking off this series of reviews will be Motorola’s new MA560 5.8GHz cordless phone and answering machine, which was just recently announced.

Motorola’s MA560 cordless phone and digital answering machine, is part of Motorola’s second generation of 5.8GHz cordless phones. While its design may resemble the first generation product line, there have been several improvements to enhance performance and features. As of this review, we were unable to find this phone on the net for purchase, but our best guess would put the price of the MA560 around $70 price range.”

The Motorola Edge Plus (2023) lying face-down on a table.

Motorola needs to see the Edge Plus (2023) as a new beginning, a jumping-off point for a revitalized brand, and not just another phone in an ever-growing list of disappointing models.

Why? It’s apparently too good not to signal a new start. We gave the Edge Plus (2023) a 9/10 score in our review, so it rivals the very best phones you can buy today. It’s clearly excellent, but this came as a total surprise — because Motorola is one of the most frustratingly inconsistent phone makers out there today.
Nostalgia isn't enough

It’s official — Motorola’s next Razr is the 2023 phone I can’t wait for
Motorola Razr 40 Ultra rear side.

Motorola keeps churning out phones across all price brackets, from flagships in the Edge series to clamshell foldables in the Razr lineup. But barely any have managed to stand out against established rivals like Samsung.

In 2023, that just might change with the upcoming Razr 40 Ultra/Razr Ultra, a flip folding phone that looks astonishingly good, functionally ahead of the competition, and with impressive hardware inside. This phone looks like Motorola finally decided to go all out and give the best foldable that it can.
