Default Should I switch to Motorola G6?

Seems to be on sale. considered a budget phone but I think it has most capabilities as my Oneplus 2, that is hitting 3 yrs old in a couple of weeks.

I'm thinking of the motorola G2, on sale at costco. snapdragon 450 (vs. my oneplus snapdragon 810). I compared both and the 810 is still better performing but my oneplus 2 has a built in 64gb storage, vs the motorola having an expandable storage. there are no more updates (android wise) for my oneplus 2, and i do see hangups here and there. I have re-did the OS (factory reset).. what a pita. but i'm good with backing stuff up and putting back what Google doesn't put back.. .although issues is really more configuring apps after that that's more a pita.

i don't do games but can be a semi-power user.

I personally only count MicroSD storage for music/movie/pix, not for applications.

Depending on how they build the OS, you might, or might not be able to move applications and app.data, as I recall.

With the correct tick in developer options enabled on my V20, I can move about any application to ext. Storage, but not on some of my old phones, as I recall... In the same way.

Honestly at that price point the Moto G5S plus is a better phone, the G6 has been a pretty meh phone and is a bit long on tooth...

Take a look at the specs for the Honor 8X... It's launching real soon and should be similar in price to the G6 and Superior.

The Honor view 10 is on sale for BF and should be a solid contender for a little more cash as well. It's got expandable storage and NFC...
