Buying call

The Edge 70 Max pairs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with a 6.82-inch QHD+ 144Hz LTPO OLED, a 7,100mAh battery, 90W wired and 25W Qi2.2 magnetic wireless charging. The 50MP OIS main camera is capable. But the 8MP ultrawide is weak, there's no telephoto, sustained loads trigger throttling, and Motorola promises only two OS upgrades.
