  • Typical new phone question....

    The screen has cracked on my Moto X and the battery is getting worse. If it were one of them, I'd repair, but both has me looking for a new phone.

    I'm thinking about the new one+ when it comes out, but I'm not sure I need that much power and rumours are it will be more expensive than previous ones.

    I've been impressed with Mrs. Hugo7's old Moto Gs (G2 and G3) but both ended up showing their age, whereas mines OK... which puts me off getting a Moto G.

    So any suggestions for androids that are;

    1. At least as good specs as a Moto X G2
    2. Will be cheap post new phones this summer
    3. Sub-£300
    4. Limited bloatwear (like Motorola for this)
    5. Duel sim / will work in the states.

    Cheers.

    Android 7.1.1, used to be Cyanogen, might be their own "almost-vanilla" now.

    (for comparison, the Moto-X 2nd gen has a Snapdragon 801, 4-core 2.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 2300mAh battery, 5.2" 1080p)

  • Cheers for the suggestion.

    Looked at the cheapo WF for my other half, so that's a good shout.

    Going to draw up a bit of a list. I'm hoping the One plus 3 drops in price at the end of June.
