I'm not sure if the same issues are present in the phone you guys are referring to but I had a terrible experience with a G35. More here https://samartean-rares.com/moto-g35-terrible-software-decent-hardware-117 . Idk use your own judgement ofc but perhaps be wary that what you buy won't be hot garbage. That G35 that I had truly was hot garbage, but it's an entry level phone I guess.

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah it's hard to know what's going to be a pile of shit. I had a good experience with a moto previously - but that was maybe ten years ago, a lot could have changed since then.

I'm looking for something mid range I guess, £500 max. I've always had cheaper phones and I'm tired of being frustrated with a device I use so much so I'm gonna spend a bit more on the next one.

Good luck. Can't really advise as i never had a phone that expensive but maybe consider one that is compatible with a more private OS like GrapheneOS.
