It must be time for another Android phone recommendation thread right?
Currently on an ~18 month old Moto G30, really disappointed with everything bar battery life (which is noticeably dropping). The summer update caused a screen contrast issue, the update last month has caused navigation/location issues, and since new it’s had intermitted irritating issues like failing to answer calls when locked and sometimes hanging when switching between apps. It’s latest trick is bluetooth connection issues, 50-50 if it will connect without disconnecting and starting again.
Primary usage is Android auto for music and nav when in the car (many hours of that!), messaging, watching tv/streaming – nothing hugely demanding. Occasionally I even make a phone call. Above all I just want it to work but after a couple of Moto phones this is about the last straw and I want something less temperamental.
Is Android getting really hardware hungry and ‘budget’ phones aren’t up to scratch and/or have Moto lost their way?
Any recommendations welcome. I would appreciate a ‘rugged’ phone that can take some abuse, don’t need headphone jack and don’t want a google button (please no!), but would consider anything.
