Key Facts

• The author uses a Motorola Edge 50 Neo handset and finds its Moto Actions features to be highly useful, particularly the "Fast torch" feature, which allows him to turn on the flashlight by making two quick karate chop motions with his phone, even when the screen is off.
• The "Swipe to split" feature on Motorola phones enables users to launch two apps in split-screen mode by simply swiping their finger back and forth across the screen, a feature that the author finds more convenient than similar features on Samsung Galaxy and Pixel phones.
• The author praises the "Sidebar" feature on Motorola phones, which allows users to swipe from the edge of the display to select their favorite app to open, and notes that while Samsung has a similar feature called "Edge Panel," Google Pixel handsets do not offer a similar dock-like feature.
• The "Quick capture" feature on Motorola phones allows users to launch the camera even when the screen is off, and the author has customized this feature to open the front camera when he twists his wrist, making it easy to take selfies without holding the phone.
• The author notes that while Samsung Galaxy phones have a feature to double-press the side button to turn on or off the torch, it is not as reliable as Motorola's "Fast torch" feature, and Pixel phones require users to navigate through the app switcher to launch apps in split-screen mode, which is less convenient.
