P8 Lite v Moto G5

Officer Giggles

Hi all,

The battery on my mam's iPhone 4s has finally died so it's time to change her over.

Reliability is the number 1 requirement so I don't have to take any grief if it goes wrong.

Budget is under €200 and would like to buy it in B+M shop, from all the previous threads I have kind of narrowed it down to the Huawei P8 Lite 2017 and Moto G5.

Anyone recommend one over the other or offer an alternative.

Thanks

P8 lite has been available for around €100 several times over the last few months. It's main downfall is the 16gb storage, and you have to use a workaround to enable adoptable storage and expand the space for apps.

If you want, one could get a replacement battery for the iPhone 4 for under €50

The iPhone is painfully slow so I don't think I'll bother replacing the battery.

I'm siding with the G5 myself. Argos seems to be the cheapest place for it.
