    Was in this situation a few months ago, eventually went for the g4+, choose this because of the better camera over the standard g4 (i use the phone camera when out and about on my bike) really impressed with it so far. Battery only lasts about a day but i often browse the web when ‘at work’ so guessing i could make it last longer. This was at the top limit of what i was wanting to pay for a phone, so far so good

    Priorities for me are:

    Notification light – really liked this on my previous Samsung phones, lack of it on iphone is one reason I don’t like it.

    Decent camera.

    Physical/haptic back button.

    The Moto phones look good but I don’t think anything under £200 is going to get me all of the above, is it?

    I have a Nexus 5X

    Good: It’s a nice phone. Good features, screen, size etc. I like the finger scanner for unlocking. You get the new software quickly and it doesn’t have weird menus/colours etc – can’t stand Samsungs for that
    Bad: Battery life is dire. Runs out about dinner time. Has a USB-C port which while it charges quickly means you need special cables and noone else ever has one you can borrow.

    My particular one has a bug where one day the battery meter stuck on 50%. Never changes. Tried everything including hard resetting the phone and doesn’t fix it. With its awful battery life and no idea of how much juice its got you play a weird game of will it/won’t it turn itself off

    I did get one app that shows battery voltage on a widget. 4.3v = fully charged. 3.4v = shutdown imminent.

    Drop me a line if you want to buy it. It’s green and 32gb and has a wee dent in the plastic on the back.
