    It's the Alcatel Pop 4 Plus.

    I'd classify myself as a light-medium user. I want a phone that can do reasonably smooth web browsing and handle Pokémon Go, with decent internal memory - preferably over 8GB. Torn between this and the 3rd Gen Moto G. This one only has 1.5GB RAM, but the Moto G has less storage space. The Alcatel runs Marshmallow, while the Moto G runs Lollipop.

    For 109 Euro I suppose you cant complain. It will probably be fine for general use. 1.5gb ram is not much these days but it's better then a lowly 1gb model. Read some reviews on it.

    I can't find any in-depth reviews unfortunately, which is why I came here. If anyone has this phone, I'd like to hear how you got on with it.

    What's your budget? Could you stretch to €179? The new Moto G 4th generation in on sale in Argos for this price at the minute. Much better spec and support, Better off if you can stretch that bit further.

    Well, I'd prefer under €150, since I have a tablet to deal with more powerful apps and films. I'll keep an eye on deals on the Moto G 4th Gen, though.

    ETA: Just did some Googling and I see 2GB RAM is pretty much essential for Pokémon Go. G4 seems best option so far!
