Motorola Ad Mocks Samsung Ad Mocking Apple (bgr.com)
An anonymous reader quotes BGR:
A few days after the iPhone X launched in stores, Samsung came out with an anti-iPhone campaign... I actually did not expect Samsung to pull off cheap tricks like that, but it sure looks like the iPhone X is a pretty scary device to fight against. But what probably nobody saw coming is Motorola trolling Samsung with an ad of its own... The "Up-upgrade to Motorola" ad offers the alternate ending to Samsung's ad, as Motorola explains on its Facebook page... Motorola doesn't even mention the iPhone X, so if you haven't seen Samsung's ad, you'd think it's just going after Galaxy handsets.
Elsewhere on Facebook, Motorola specifically referenced the attachable accessories available for their Moto Z when mocking the Galaxy Note 8.
"Why settle for edge-to-edge, when you could project your screen up to 70 inches?"

Blackberry's ad to mock Motorola's ad that mocks the Samsung ad that's mocking Apple.
Alternative post:
“Yo Dawg, I herd you like mocking, so I put a mock in your ad so you can mock while you mock.”
Or something. Sorry if I didn't do it right, I'm not black.

Depends on how they do it.

Because the quality of that projection is likely garbage?

You mean directly comparing features you have to your competitors is cheap tricks? Did you just discover advertising? I'm sure everyone's better, like Apple totally not featuring "PCs" in their adverts, and Microsoft would never feature Google.
Seriously man, have you never seen an advert before?
Having a border around the screen protects it (generally the most expensive/fragile part of a phone) from damage better. And makes it easier to design a case that protects the phone.
"Edge-to-edge" is code for planned obsolescence in my book.
Motorola is pretty much the last of the three I'd go for, if anything because Lenovo is behind it, the company that gave you malware on firmware but people are still buying it for some reason.
But really, the mods are a joke. They were overpriced and underperformed for the most part, launched with ridiculous price and now that Motorola realized no one if getting them, they are trying to offload as many as possible by throwing them together. That Essencial Phone thing will suffer the same fate.
The only recent development I like from Motorola is the Android One phone, but given price and specs (internationally I mean), I opted for a Xiaomi Mi A1 instead. Specs are overall better and price is lower, again, international market.
