  • Bought mine in August last year, it's 4G so the same as yours I think?

    Do you keep another phone in your pocket at the same time though? I always thought it was only dealers and PR people who did this.

    It either took a long time for the scratches to appear or it took me a long time to notice them. The latter is a definite possibility. I've basically wanted a new phone since the summer so I'm definitely thinking cheap phones are a false economy (as I can't fit any more apps on it either due to it being 8Gb) given I paid £160 for it.

    I'm going to stick with it till I've found a phone I definitely want and can commit the monies though.

    Older one I think, which had Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and hence no scratches I guess.
    Plenty of drops, but I do try and keep the phone on its own in one pocket, so that helps too

    And yeah, in the same boat. Want a flagship phone in an ok footprint, but so far nothing has won me over. Hearing Velocio wax lyrical about the 6p it sounds great, but I just don't think I could deal with the size coming from 130x66mm

    Edit edit: Oh, looks like the Moto G (3rd) which I think is the one you have also came with Gorilla Glass

  • This is the exact one I got, I can't work out which generation it is:

    I looked it up and it is possible to scratch Gorilla Glass apparently - sand and other glass are apparently good at it. Normally I'd have bought a helicopter tape screen protector but I bought it in a rush because I smashed my Nexus 4 when I smashed my elbow, so I just wanted a working phone.

    Basically we both, like @Velocio, want the 6P but smaller. Although I also definitely want it to cost less, the 5X is at the top end of what I want to spend even at its reduced price.
