Thoughts?

Fuckers are going to make my phone not happy come Jan 1. I need a new phone. I have the Motorolla G4 currently. it. Seriously. It's an awesome little phone for me and I'm a bit irritated at having to replace it. But they didn't ask me what I think and 7.0 is as far as this phone goes.

That's a very good phone. I don't know why Moto insists on using older generation Snapdragon chips but they seem to work fine if you're not gaming or trying to do crazy shit.

The cameras a very good and I love the fact that Moto doesn't load their phones with a bunch of bloatware - their version of Android is awesome.

That's also a great price for that phone.

I have had a moto g forever. Still works like dream.

Tom's Guide is an excellent site for tech reviews. The review linked below is from August. The review pans the camera and certain functional aspects of the screen.

Done. Just made the purchase. It will be here - they say - by Dec 23. Same with the case and various length charging cords from Amazon. Convenient.

Looks like a lot of phone for the money

I've got that phone. It works well for what I need. The stylus is meh, if you're trying to do artsy stuff.

Or it could be that I just can't draw for shit.

Congrats on the new gear. I only like doing this once every two years. Switching phones is a chore, but feels good in the end.

I just hope I like it as much as I like the G4. It's purple so that's cool. Not that that is a major feature but it beats black. My G4 is white. I kinda like that. It's the little things.

i love them but i am thinking of moving to the google pixel

I was debating between the G7 and the stylus. The stylus won because of the later release date and more internal storage.

I'm glad you posted though - you helped to confirm my decision. Thank you.

When I switched iPhones from the 5s to the 11Pro, it was fairly painless.

I'm thinking of getting 2 lines on GoogleFi and the Moto G power is probably what I'm getting for my business line. I'm tempted to get two as they are pretty affordable. $50 if you get them with Fi

And the Pixel 4a5g is the other one I'm considering. I do like the idea of android on a phone from the Android people.

also loved the cameras as well as the clean software experience.

Because of the software?

And, asking for a friend, do I want a clean software experience?

The appeal of the Pixel 'pure android' is that there's minimal BS and that allows the phone to run quicker and more efficiently as I understand it.

That alone would encourage me to take a closer look. Thanks!

It's why I'm interested too.

Never owned a Moto, I've been a OnePlus fanboi ever since the OPO, but as someone above said, that does look a lot of phone for the money.

thats one reason why i am leaning toward it

but the other is google pics, with the pixel they will still give you unlimited storage, with the other droids, there is now a limit

There are other phones besides Apple???

GoogleFi is the shit. My bills are as low as $22 per month with full everything. If your home and work are on WiFi, it's fucking awesome.

Pixel phones are always a good choice although can be a bit buggy.

That alone would encourage me to take a closer look. Thanks!

Yep, great phones for the buck.

OnePlus FTW!

Poor lil sheep lace.
