LOL!! I knew my phone was old but not that old. Embarrassing enough, I'm still using the original Moto G. I can't decide on my long-overdue choice of replacement as here in Canada it seems Apple & Samsung are rammed down our throats, with the odd Moto avail (in which IMHO have gone downhill big time). LG is now finished. All the decent Pixels are gone. So unless Moto severely pulls their socks up (on their phones that is, not the ones they gave you to wear), I may have to hold out & get a mortgage for the Pixel 6 Pro ?? - that phone is going to be Frickin expensive$$$. As always, you are an absolute riot to watch !!!! (even though we don't get most of the phones that you review here). Many Cheers to you & your Fam !!

I still have them all, but then I have all my phones going back to a Motorola microTAC in '94!

As a consumer who prefers smaller form factors I am interested to know the best 2021 phone under 5.6" display. There are consumers out there that only look for calling, texting, emailing and basic web browsing. The Samsung Flip Z3 is probably the closest too that form factor but pricewise, is still way outside most people's normal means. The Asus ZenFone is close at 5.9" but again at nearly £600 only comfortable available on contract terms. My last 4 phones have all been Motorola G series. They have all incrementally increased in forms factor to the point that my Christmas present, the G10 Play, I ended up giving to my daughter as she plays games on her phone. Do you have any recommendations?

I've only ever had 2 phones. The Moto G and the Moto G6 Plus, both of which offered incremental changes in connectivity (3G to 4G), processing power (400 series to 630), and camera tech that is good for the price you get these phones for. Also, the fact that the latest Android 11 Motorola phones ship with 720p displays and only slightly better Snapdragon 662 and 480 processors, is a testament to how far ahead of their time the Moto G and Moto G6 Plus were.
