Moto Droid Turbo alternative or high battery phone for Europe

Go to solution Solved by Mug,

both are kinda pricey.

anything on the mid-range? Not looking for a flagship tbh, just want a decent phone with good battery life.

Have you considered perhaps a Moto G 2015 (Gen 3)? It only has a 2470mAh battery but it's got a low power processor so you could get away with it.

 

Allegedly it has great battery life, according to reviews anyway.

Specifically i want a high battery capacity phone with decent specs that has a EU version, which the Turbo doesn't seem to have freely available since i can't find it anywhere in the EU to deliver to Croatia.

 

Min specs should be:

1-2 GiB RAM

SD slot

3000+ mAh battery

8+ GiB internal

a decent CPU

gorilla glass is a must since my current Doogee is scratched to hell by stuff that GG would have resisted without issue.

 

I just want to get away from the hell that is Doogee Voyager2's 2000 mAh half-a-day-if-lucky battery.

 

AMOLED or 1080p would be dank as well, but i'd much rather just have a lower cost. Something in the mid-range.

I know this is Linus' second fave but has the S6 active tickled your fancy?

 

 

Also I have an LG G4 and that's got pretty stellar battery life. Plus, the battery's removeable so you can carry a spare if you're constanly in need of juice.

How the hell can a 3900mAh battery have a terrible battery life. The hell did you do with it? O.o

moto g gen 3 is great for the average user. my sister is going to be getting one by my recommendation 

I'm actually a power user but can't afford top of the line hardware :P
