Hello,
Once again on the market for a new mobile. Once again, I'm out of the loop. This time I need a phone for my wife. Most important requirements:
1) Good camera (for the budget) - She uses the camera daily to take photographs of our son.
2) Stock Android - I bought a Honor 7 when it first came out and have still not forgiven myself. All the hardware in the world is worthless if the software is poor.
3) <£200. Originally aimed for ~£150 but I realise a little extra buys a lot more. I might go higher if a few pounds buys me into a much better phone.
The obvious go-to was the Moto G5 but I'm worried it's not quite the clear winner it once was. The lack of compass is a shame, if not a deal breaker. I did consider the Moto G4 (currently £150) and struggled to see the downside apart from it's a year older - No more updates? Will feel outdated sooner?
I might be willing to wait another week or so (for example, the Moto G5s is due soon) but the trusty old Nokia 735 camera autofocus has bitten the dust and given the importance of the camera I cannot afford to be without it for too long.
Please tell me there is an obvious answer to this?! Thanks!
