Alternative to Moto G phones

BailMeOut

As dad I get to buy five phones for myself, wife and three teenagers and have had great success over the years buying everyone various MotoG models while saving myself a lot of money. They all want Iphones but no way I am forking out for five of them!

That said and I need some replacements for older phones with some screen cracks and looking for alternative reliable options.

Hearing a lot about these Oppo phones but what others should I look at that have similar pricing ans specs to MotoGs?

I need to buy five and we all have SIM plans with Eir and GoMo so no contract issues.

Thanks!!

As no one has replied to your query.

I have the OPPO A72 (Amazon EUR 158.79), for two weeks now and it suits my needs fine.

It is 1 year old release at this stage and there is newer version of it available. But was system updated to Android 11 this week.

Compare prices for Oppo smartphones
^^^ Or put your required specs into that site and see the results.

See more feedback on OPPO phones in this forum thread search.

Xiaomi phones are excellent.
Having previously had 2 Moto G's, not suffering from boot loop issues, I tried an Xiaomi having read good reviews. They're way ahead of Motorola and less expensive. Available from various sources.

Check out the Samsung A41. Got one from amazon.de with case for just over €200.

If you port to Vodafone you can get the below for €99

"VF aren't accepting numbers from Tesco, Lyca or 48. So an Eir or three SIM are the only" -

So if you get a few sims from these you could get a few decent phones half price and just throw in your own sims. Phones come unlocked.

You are buying phones for your three teenagers? Who is paying, by the sound of things you are? That's what birthday/Christmas/Confirmation money is for!!:eek:

Not really your business what he buys for his family.

Why are you moving from the Moto g range can I ask? I'm on my third or fourth iteration of them now, best bang for buck I've found. The cheaper Samsung models in particular are a million miles.back in terms of usability

I am going to move off from Moto G7 Plus and thinking of really going all out and getting Mi 11 or even splash out and go for the Mi 11 Ultra. Just not impressed with any of the new G range

The incremental changes from Moto between 7, 8, and 9 are now so minor that the upgrades are not worth it IMO while getting more and more expensive. I may still just buy 5 x Moto G9's but it's a good time to consider alternatives.

Realme also a very decent option in whatever price range youre looking

It comes in other colours as well.

Fair enough, still on a G7 power myself for some time - can't fault it except for lack of NFC.

this phone has a lot going for it for the price of 180 or so

powerful cpu - 732g way ahead of the likes of the 6 series cpus

decent camera

big battery life

nfc for wireless google pay etc

it's on the larger size (half a cm longer than your G7 power) but that's the trend.

Thank you, everyone, for the great suggestions but ended up sticking with tried and trusted Moto G's and ordered 5 x Moto G30's this weekend.
