New mobile phone

J_B

Maybe ought to be in the mobile section, but ...

I have a Moto G31(W) running Android 12

It works reasonably well but just getting a little sluggish sometimes.

I've used 80GB of the 128 available

Looking for something that runs maybe a little faster

Must be Android and a dual sim facility

I don't really have a budget in mind ... 

Should I be put off by mention of 'bloatware' by some when mentioning Samsung or doesn't it matter?

Any recommendations?

less bloatware on Moto. Try Amazon

If you after last bloatware, probably Pixel, Nothing/ CMF, Moto.

When you mention dual SIM, do you mean dual physical SIM? Is physical sim + eSIM acceptable?

Why not simply swap up to the 256 GB Moto G55?

Dual SIM, essentially the same as you have now but a newer version.  No bloatware with Moto phones.

Are you after 2 physical SIM? Would 1 Physical SIM + 1 eSIM OK for you?

But, that seems to say .... SIM card type: nano SIM and eSIM.

Hmmmm, yes it does.  I have had several Moto G series phones and they have two physical SIM slots so I did not read any further.

It does seem as though you are correct - I checked on the actual Motorola website which states:

SIM Card

• Dual SIM (1 physical Nano SIM + eSIM)

That seems not to meet your requirement.

You could have a look at OnePlus Nord CE5 if you after something around £200. I think bloatware are removable on OnePlus phone.

Some of the phones from Xiaomi/ Redmi and Samusng with 2 physical SIM + eSIM (Only 2 SIM activate at one time). However if bloatware bother you, that probably not the brand to pick.
