    I currently have a Moto G5 s plus

    I like it, it works, no issues. However I got an S8 in work last week, and lost it on Tuesday.
    I miss the wireless charging. I've a wireless charger in work, the car and at home.
    I miss the type C connector.

    So I'd like wireless charging, I'm a bit confused about the mod elements of Moto Z units to make them wireless.

    So I'd like 4 GB ram min.
    64 Gb min on board
    Wireless charging
    Tough
    USB type C
    3.5mm jack

    Has anyone done the work on this recently, the Poco F1 does not meet my requirements and I don't want an S7

    It possibly is the Moto Z with a mod, interested in hearing if anyone has one and where you bought it.

    Thank you in advance for your time and help.

    Thank you very much.

    I was looking to see if I missed a trick with a new unit.

    I might try a different unit altogether if there are no other options.
    Just go with a quick charge unit

    Had a new S8 and lost it within a week, it’s a cheap eBay phone for you.

    Second hand an option? I sold my spare S9+ on adverts last week and got just a little over 500 For it. Phone was in ex conf and SIM free. Plenty more like it at the time, just buy from a reputable seller with good feedback and you should be fine.

    Oh and buy a decent case next time. I got an OEM Samsung case and I find it great, not slippy anymore. I did put a temporary skin on it while waiting which helped too if your not a fan of cases.

    Can vouch for this guy. I've bought a few phones off him and all have been as advertised, no issues with any of them at all.

    Im getting a new android phone myself,need it to be dual sim. I have a shortlist of the one plus 6 or 6t,the Pocophone and the Mi Mix2S


    However with the arrival of the Mi Mix3 imminent it may be worth while waiting a couple of weeks as the mix2 should drop a few quid then as vendors look to move them on....


    Still haven't made my mind up,but waiting to see the spec on the Mix3...
