I currently have a Samsung Note 4 and I am looking to upgrade to a newer phone (without spending too much). I like the bigger screen the Note 4 has as it is easier on my eyes.
I am on Verizon and will likely stay with them as they have good service in the area where I live.
I initially looked at the Pixel XL. That looks like a nice phone. Also looked at the Samsung S8 (kind of narrow for the length of the phone), the S8+ (may be reaching levels of too big). I am also looking at the Moto Z Force Droid, as it got decent reviews and is on sale with Verizon right now. The Moto offers Mods that can be attached, but I doubt I would use any of them.
I am just looking for a good smartphone to check things on the web, make calls/texts and play songs (I have several hundred songs on my Note 4). Battery life is important as I don't like having to charge the phone every couple of hours.
Any opinions for someone who is not overly tech savvy ?
I am still on my Nexus 6P...tempted to get a Pixel...but really hard to justify carrying around a $750 phone around. May end up going with a One Plus 5. GSM phones.
We were able to get our family's monthly (5 phones) down from about $350/month (Sprint) to around $100 a month. Huge difference.
I am in the same boat, the Droid phone you mentioned was on sale at best buy for $5 bucks a month a couple of weeks ago but the specs are aged. Insane battery life apparently.
Pixel XL still pricey, waiting to pull the trigger once it is marked down. Pixel 2 can't be too far off.
Another option could be the Note 7.. apparently Samsung is going to be re-selling all of the recalled phones with a new working battery. Have to imagine it will be priced fairly since the Note 8 is due in August.
Bought a new battery a while back and it has really helped. But the phone is beginning to feels its age. I am not in a huge rush to get a new phone, but laying the groundwork for when I do .. which, should not be that far off.
I like the Pixel XL and the S8+, but they are just so pricey. It is just hard to justify that kind of phone for what ?i use it for. That was main reason I was looking at the Motorola
And if the phone meets and untimely demise at $299 your not slitting your wrists.

It's a good phone and a great value. But it has a smaller screen than he was looking for.
Does that look like a decent bargain for a 5.5" screen phone ?

5.2 v 5.5 is a quarter of an inch diagonally. considering the price differential...it is worth considering.

The Note 4 has a 5.7 inch screen. And a small increase in diagonal size translates into significantly larger screen area. The Note 4 has a 25% larger screen.
