    Default New phone: moto g6

    I got this new phone and I'm torn.

    I ha e never believed in paying top dollar for phones, this was $240 US. Apparently 8 cores, 1.7, 32gb, 3gb ram, 5.7 screen... Just a feat phone for me... However...


    Go ahead and mock me, but I can't believe this doesn't allow you to swap the home buttons. LG has allowed this for years. It bothers me the back button is on the left now and no way to swap it.

    Anyone know how or a better phone in that price range? Or maybe I should suck it up and shut up because I don't want to pay $900 for the to LG phone.

    Oh, and I did Google this, called the company etc... Thought maybe some here would know.

    I have 7 days to return it. But thought the awesome people might have alternative.

    I have a 'flip-phone' for $40 and pay 'as-you-go' (about a $100/year), but rarely use it. Other than the Red/Green buttons, I have no idea about the 'buttons'. (Hope this helped)

    I have a samsung J7. I think it is in about the same price range as the one you have these days. Maybe a little less since it isn't the latest. I don't love it but I don't hate it. I had used a J4 forever and hated that I was stuck switching to the J7 at the time as the J4 was pretty much perfect for me.

    When I need a new phone, I go to the Motorola website and order their oldest phone, which is typically something that was released 18 months prior.

    I bought a Moto e4 plus several months ago to replace my older Moto that would no longer charge. This latest cost me about $150 and includes upgraded internal memory. Another $20 or so and I have a high capacity SD card.

    My old phone camera was good enough to ditch my digital camera for work, report photos. This one's even better.

    I almost got the J7, but the sales guy said this phone has 8 cores vs 2 cores, and double the resolution.

    Poor Yurt.
    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    rac·ist
    rāsəst/noun
    a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.
