      Motorolas are my favorite type of phone. I’m never going to use Apple and Samsung phones are bloated with garbage I don’t want. It’s not like there’s another real option.

          The Nothing Phone is the only other real option, but it’s also one phone while Motorola has several options for several different price ranges. OnePlus is purely Chinese (I know Motorola isn’t perfect but it could be worse). Google Pixels aren’t cheap.

            Pixels are now super cheap in Europe (in The Netherlands in particular)

            Could get a 7 for €400 and now 7a for less than that

                Belsimpel, T-Mobile or Tele2 in combination with any carrier plan.

                I assume you’re not using a Prepaid plan but if you are then my comment was misleading. Everyone I know here has a carrier subscription so I usually list those prices (but with one-time payment for the phone).

                Now that the 7A is out, 7 doesn’t seem to be getting discounts anymore.

                Google Store sometimes has 7A sales for ~€450.

              Good to see they are reaching that price range, but it’s probably more “good value/price ratio” than cheap.

              Does the 7 has working Dual SIM support? On the 6 it’s broken since release. It’s 2 years now and still not fixed. Phone calls randomly drop and after 30 minutes or so the modem just crashes and needs both SIMs to be deactivated and actives again. Absolut shit show.

            What is the difference between OnePlus and Motorola being chinese? It’s a serious question, i thought Motorola was fully chinese owned?

              OnePlus was fully designed and created in China while Motorola was bought out by Lenovo. Motorola is still fishy but it’s technically still an American company so I feel better about it. It’s just false hope that my data isn’t being stolen, privacy is dead anyways.

                Alright :) In my opinion the companies are all not that trustworthy unfortunately. Because Motorola is not that good with updates it’s not the brand for me.

            OnePlus may be Chinese but the OS has some privacy features like removing permissions for apps you don’t use. Out of the Androids I’ve used, it has way more customisation than I expected.

          OnePlus one was the best phone I ever got. Then I got a Xiaomi for a better camera and now I’m looking to get a new phone.

          Haven’t OnePlus gone to shit now?

            They have. OnePlus was great until the OnePlus 5. Now they have become just another premium smartphone brand. Same thing will happen to Nothing eventually.

        The third iteration of Nokia is back to building phones, and the smartphones they sell are part of the Android One program (stock Android, two years of updates guaranteed).

            Yes, the Nokia X10. Worked rather well over the last two years, although the only thing I can compare it to are devices I got from work (mostly older Samsungs with a ton of crapware).

            No, they are owned by HMD Global which is a company that was initially comprised mostly of former Nokia executives. They produce in China though (like everybody else).

        Sony, Asus, Nothing, Pixel…

        I’m not doubting the hardware, but software is a real issue. Carriers are now pushing 36 month plans… what good is that if your device is basically out of date after 18 months.
