My Moto G is nearly two years old and I want to replace it soon. What's the current equivalent (cheap but good)?
>>
>>52153259
The new moto g. It as an usable camera this time.

You could go with lesser known brands, and get better specs, like Xiomi, Alcatel or Oneplus; but with the moto g is a really popular phone with plenty support for custom ROMs and that sort of thing...
>>
>>52153259
A new moto g.
>>
>>52153259
OnePlus X

I've been using mine for like a month now and I love it.
>>
>>52153259
iPhone 6S Plus

>>52153406
If I had to get a new phone today I would get a OPX. But I'm happy with my 5X so that's cool.
>>
Oneplus x

>>52153448
This, but only if it's 128gb rose gold

The Nexus 6 has been intermittently going for $250 on Amazon this month. You can try keeping an eye out for the next sale.
>>
>>52153259
Oneplus X, Moto G 3rd gen

My personal recommendation would be to wait for Moto G 4th gen, should be only a few months away
>>
Blue Life One 2015, large resolution and screen, alot better camera. 100 USD for 1gb RAM model on Amazon. 2GB ram model is like 170 though.

Using it now and I love it.

none. Moto G 2nd gen is crap (I own it) and 3rd lacks features (like gyroscope) in order to make it "better" than 2nd gen that had a shitty gyro. There are better phones with the same features as 2nd and 3rd gen for the same money (Sony M2, LG G3 Stylus, etc)
>>
Okay so does anyone know if the dac on the new moto g is better this time? 2013's was fucking bad
>>
Moto G 3rd gen is trash, the 2GB version costs the same as a OnePlus One, ridiculous pricing.
I'd get a chinkphone if you can get one from Amazon with warranty, Umi eMax/eMax mini both look good, or some sort of elephone.
>>
>>52153587
Moto G 3rd gen just came out a few months ago, 4th won't come out until end of 2016 and will be overpriced like this one is.
>>
>>52153259
this phone is overpriced trash op

what are my options for 5" with an sdcard? preferably curved back or curved sides
>>
>>52153259
funny that it is 2 years, almost like the big networks have successfully trained you to want a new one after the allotted time is up.
>>
>>52155344
I can see why he wants to update, my 2nd gen Moto G is starting to get slow after a year and I want to upgrade, plus the camera on the first one is unusable.

I am still using my first galaxy ace, kill you are self consumerism victim.
>>
>>52155399
still using the 1st gen with 4g.

like the size, and the microsd card slot. will probably have to replace the battery, but that's fine.
>>
>>52155472
800mhz 278mb RAM
wew lad, sure glad I'm not a consumerist!

Wipe, install custom ROM, profit

>>52153259
How the fuck it can be even almost 2 y.o if it was relased 2014 september. ( pic moto g 2nd gen )
>>
>>52155576
this. I have a first gen and the only reason I would change is for sd card slot, 4g, and gyroscope for cardboard.

what the shit do you guys use your phones for? Emulating gamecube?
>>
>>52155576
would that really make much difference with it being near stock android anyway?
I want a new phone with 2gb RAM and at least 1.5ghz octacore.

>>
>>52156136
what's the matter, a few screws too much for you?
>>
>>52156217
it's a cheaper phone, why would it have a better screen?
>>
G2, G3
Note 3
Nexus 5 or 6

These basically will do everything you need for a long time outside of gaming and such. Not sure on the G2 anymore but everything else is pretty golden.
>>
Why doesn't /g/ recommend chinkphones? Aren't they extremely good value for the price? Is there a drawback to using them? What's the best ~$200 one?
>>
>>52156383
because most people here are normies that buy into brand names for some reason. Only downside to chinkphones is they rarely get the newest version of Android, as long as you get them from Amazon with warranty they're the best value.
>>
>>52153259
Z5 Premium.
How cheap is cheap again?
Maybe G4?
>>
Got a Wileyfox Swift. Comparable specs to the Moto G 3rd gen 2GB version but considerably cheaper (I paid €150).
Has some minor flaws, but I'm happy with it.
>>
>>52156406
>is they rarely get the newest version of Android
reason enough to not even bother with them.

but if they've got a ROM available, go ahead and get one.
>>
>>52153259
Check out Smartphones made by Wiko.

it's 1.4 and it's comparable in the sense that it's the exact same SoC. Motorola just clocked it a little higher.
