Nokia 5, Nokia 6, Or Moto G5?

[doinurmop]

These are all in the range of my budget, nokia 6 being the most expensive at £160 (Carphonewarehouse)

And the Nokia 5 being the cheapeast. Basically I'm in need for a rather good camera, all the phones seem to  fit that category thankfully

 

I'd much prefer the screen to be 1080p, Moto g5 and nokia 6 fit that category.

 

I'd need a pretty good amount of battery life. I think they all fit that category? kinda hard to determine

 

The Nokia 5 puts me off quite a bit, with it only being 720p and 2gb.

While the 6, and G5 are both 3gb and 1080p, and Nokia 6 having the marginally larger screen.

 

Although the G5 is a bit alluring with its gesture feature, I have rather smol hands, so it may be useful for me, although it could also end up being a gimmick

 

Either way, I was wondering in total what would be the better option?

Thats a good thing too, but I'm careful with my phones anyway, kek.

Only issue with the Nokia 6 is that autmatic contrast and brightness can be rather wonky at times, so to an extent the original moto g5 can end up having better photos.

Other than that, I guess the back button and such being lit up on the phone instead of on screen could be irritating? personally thats a nitpick really though. Though I guess accidentally hitting them could be an issue?

 

I would get an honor 6x, even if it did break the budget. but it isnt really confirmed to get updated to oreo

Yeahh i'm swayed towards to the Nokia.

I've also looked up a bit about Motorola as a company, and for the UK at-least, Motorola is hardly even updating the MOTO G5-G5S+, so if I'm correct they're stuck on 7.0 nougat, and arent even getting essential security updats. Which is very lazy.

 

While Nokia is rolling them out ez pz, and already has a beta option for Oreo.

While Moto G5 has some more appealing things, especially considering gestures, and the more or less kinda better camera, the Nokia 6 is seeming like the much SMARTER buy.

Ever since they were bough by Lenovo it has gone to shit in that area, how ever as for CPU per dollar is higher with the Moto devices! :3

It is, and while for £200 I could get a G5 plus with a Snapdragon 600 series cpu, with the Nokia 6 being a few quid more expensive than the normal G5, and with actual good update support, I favor that other a slightly better CPU.

 

Though the size and capacitive touch buttons do concern me, and maybe the battery life, I dont see those being a deal breaker, more something I'd get used to.

I would pick a Nokia because its more robust and updates are faster! :3

Yeah definitely. I like to be the latest side of updates I can be, and considering how Motorola is so far behind on that front, especially with quite important updates needed, theres no reason to support motorola

Sad to see how they've gone to shit though.

Blackberry also are fast with updates, but their devices are costly in most cases... (yes they have Android)

Thats a name I didnt expect to hear. I had no clue they're making smartphones.

O3O https://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry-phones-36.php

They are owned by TCL but they are not slow to update even tough they are owned by the Chinese, keep in mind they only do priority for a device for 2 years after that well it still gets updates but not as often much as the newer devices. :3 ((not sure if they have Oreo ready yet il look into it))

I wouldnt be surprised if they did ,lol

due to their price i'll step away for now, but still surprising to hear such a name for smartphones.

Huh their newest device does not have Oreo or have it listed as planned? Well even tough GSM does not have it listed that does not mean it is for sure but that is kinda a shocker... O3O Dtek 50 is cheapest option if you pick one but the DTEK line are modified Alcatel phones...

I've had the moto G5 plus for 5 month s now and it's hard to find anything to complain about. The camera is alright if you get the Google one and it's great value. There's a confermed update to oreo

Ah yes, I've ended up ordering the Nokia 6. The issue with not always being up to date irked me.
 

If I'm dissapointed i'll just get a refund anyway, lol.

They also have increased return since xmas is near? Some stores do during the holidays but keep in mind some write with little text that they wont take it back if opened.

Yes its close to indestructible but I would put a case + glass protector on it just in-case! :3

Currenty I'll have to do without a glass protector, the screen protectors are a bit hard to find for the Nokia 6, so I've ordered a decently reviewed one on amazon that'll hopefully not make my display look like mud.

 

The case if I get one will have to wait for a while too though.
