Upgrade from Moto G 4g

BigDebtBoy

So my moto G (from last year) is always running out of space, laggy and battery is draining way too fast (I have done a factory reset, battery seems better but still pretty laggy)

what is my best bet on the upgrade front (I paid about £129 from tesco for this and unlocked onto Giff gaff)

I want another android as I know the layout etc and something around the same size, a little bigger is ok but seen some phones that are size of a small tablet (how is that A ''MOBILE'' phone :rotfl:) wouldn't even fit in my pocket
Just needs better specs ram/rom etc, I think facebook and 10 other apps is even too much for this one, even with the 32gb memory card its not enough, apps I move there seem to come back onto the internal memory I think

budget around £150
also what should I look to get for this moto G they about £70 ?

thanks

The downside to these lesser known brand phones (especially those using mediatek chipsets), is that updates (both new feature and security) pretty much never happen

Maybe a little big for the OP though. Seeing as they are moving from a Moto G 1st Gen and said they didn't mind going a little bigger.

Certainly the case with many of them but that also applies to LG and Samsung. If you look here can see they have released a few and Marshmallow is on its way. Also includes a flip case and tempered glass screen protector, that's worth another £6. So if you sell the moto g, for £40, all its cost you is £10 and no customs to pay..

I know, that's why I bought one. The one downside is its a Chinese company selling so if you have a problem will take longer, they do provide a returns address in Uxbridge, its like a forwarding company. Battery could last longer, you can swap it or use a USB charger, so not too much hassle. CEX are offering £39 for moto g. I think it's a no brainier.
If you order via the banggood app on your phone there is a 10% off voucher for a first order, not sure if you can combine both vouchers.

How does it compare to the Moto G size and perfomance wise (I have the 4G model from last year the one I had before was 3g good phones but same problems with battery life, running out of space and laggy perfomance after a while

Not sure if it's android in general, or just moto G, but my moto G runs a lot better if I uninstall Facebook and just view it in my browser.
