i just got a 'mota g5 plus 2gb ram'

should i get the moto g4 play instead?

( for experienced smartphone users ) -- do you recommend i keep the g5 plus (2gb) or

* get the g4 play
* or the g5 plus (4gb version?)

---

you don't save that much in terms of price

but it's unclear if the g5 plus (2gb) is worth the extra price

last phone was a samsung epic touch 4g -- with nova and arrow launcher on it

and the g5 plus is pretty much the same size as the epic touch..........

yea the image may be sharper but it's not a big deal, what am i going to use that for..... ?

---

i don't really use the smartphone much for anything except:

* calendar (g cal)
* gmaps (no data)
* taking notes (keep...)

future usage likely would not change significantly

unless i find other needs for the phone......

G5 plus seems better in specs and basic needs but is a little heavier  in weight

 

[droid151]

it also cost more

why use is it if the specs doesn't help with anything?

how useful is it?

I'd stay with the G5 Plus, better specs and one year newer so it should receive updates longer.

 

[droid151]

have other recent devices stopped receiving any updates?

link?

how much longer on average basesd on past history?

link?

like a half a year longer or...?

better specs though i replied with:

'it also cost more

that wasn't responded to yet

Most phones only get updates for 12 - 18 months, so odds are the G5 Plus will receive newer updates after the G4 Play stops getting them.

If price is the main factor and the G4 Play specs meet your needs then it sounds like the G4 Play is your better option.

price is a non-factor

it's about value

and worth

most recent phones only update 1.5y wow..... wonder how that would change...

gotta find that massive upgrade chart somewhere.......

it's about worth

if it's not useful, nothing would be worth even a .001 cent more
