Need new android phone. Recommendations?

I currently have an HTC desire C which has become very slow and sometimes doesn't pick up calls and music stutters when I use the keyboard. I am in the market for something running newer android and has a bigger screen ideally in the 4 inch range. I prefer stock android over branded themes like htc sense which just bog the phone down.

Phones I am currently looking into are the Moto G 4G LTE model and the Moto E.

However I can't find these anywhere in canada unlocked. The Us motorola site has them both for sale unlocked but the canadian site doesn't have the moto E.
The moto G lte on the canadian site is only offered in carriers. This is no good for me as I Will be moving to the US at some point.


Also I am fairly new here and if this is in the wrong section just tell me and move it.

Thank you
 
I would lean towards the G LTE if I was going the G route. Only for the SD card slot though. I am a heavy SD card user. Checked amazon just now they are all a complete ripoff when compared to the MSRP. They actually want 320$ for an unlocked 8gb moto G (non lte version). That is the cheapest I can find.

My price range is under 250$

I don't play high end games I mostly just use GPS apps, browse the web, and listen to music. Mostly listening to music and browsing the web at the same time. On my current phone doing just that causes extreme lag.
 
Hi!
If you check the specs of the MOTO G on the website you can see there if the networks are compatible with the ones that you have in Canada, the phone can work perfectly if the networks are compatible :) even if the phone is not available directly from the Motorola website, you can check for shipping options :)
 
For the moto G lte? I know it will work in canada and us but I can't find the one with LTE anywhere other than motorola who is offering it locked to fido or rogers not unlocked. Given what I saw on amazon it looks like sellers are almost doubling the price of their phones compared to what you can get them for in the US. I want to see if there is a way to get a Moto G lte (one with the SD card slot) for a good deal either in canada or somehow get one from the US. None of this 300$ BS
 
On here the canadian site

Motorola

The only options to buy the G LTE are rogers and fido. If I click the buy from button and select rogers or fido it just takes me to rogers or fidos page to set up a plan wiith them which I do not want to do. I don't see an option to buy unlocked
