Recommend me an upgrade from a Motorola Moto X play

Looking to replace the wife's moto X play with a Nokia 6. Slightly over your budget, I think, but looks like a very shiny device :)

G5 looks like a downgrade to me, it's a 1.4 core with 2gb, 5" screen

Can confirm. I bought a G5 after my previous G3 packed up from general wear and tear (I work in construction).

I'm not as impressed with it as I was the previous versions. It doesn't feel quite as snappy and it could have done with better battery life too.

just googled it, and it doesn't sound very good to me
its only on a snapdragon 400 series

Yup, only a 430, but it's running vanilla Android and I've had a lot of good experiences with hardware optimisation from Nokia on their Windows phones.

Of course, I upgraded from the X Play to a OnePlus 3 last year, so the X Play was a year old before the wife got it, which means a brand new phone will make her happy :p
 
I had this budget and was looking for a p2 coming from an X play like yourself. I really liked the X play but a lack of storage and the fact it was dying made me swap. Three stopped selling the p2 around that time so I couldn't have one from a decent company.

I purchased a honor 6x and while it's okay I do miss stuff like front facing speakers and the stock android of the X play in comparison. The updates have been hilariously slow considering some countries had an update ~4 months ago which the UK hasn't got yet. I don't regret buying it but I thought my X play was much better value for money.

thanks for your post

My X Play is still on Android 6, Motorola still haven released 7 for this device which is very annoying

im trying to hold on at the moment, charge it to 80% before bed, dont use it at work until i go for break then ive lost like 20%, by the time i get home (today at least) im at 34%, the only time i use it a lot is when i get home when im playing clash royale and clash of clans, otherwise its not really used

You can get the P2 for about £160 if you buy from gearbest etc.
No B20,euro plug and no real warranty tho.

What is B20 ? , do i need it?
not worried about the plug if its euro
I realise there be no warranty , but the UK ones i can find are like £250 / £300

I assume this is the right one ?

It will work on 3G/H+ but not 4G that is what the band 20 support is for.
My Xiaomi phone has no band 20 but still gets 4G with EE and Three.
It's only O2 and Voda that need the band 20 for 4G.
It depends on signal too as i used to get higher d/load speeds with H+ than i did with 4G.
