Hi Jerry,

I enjoy listening to your solid advice and general contributions on the podcasts regularly.

My wife has a Moto G3 and is generally happy with most aspects of the phone. However as Android Pay is becoming more ubiquitous I would like to get her a phone with NFC. I would also like the phone to feature a USB 'C' type connection rather than the older micro USB. She gives devices with Micro USB sockets a hard time when trying to connect them to chargers; with most getting beaten in to submission over time.

I would would have considered the Moto G5 when it becomes available but from what I can see that won't be supporting NFC. Neither it appears do many of the other Chinese phones in the that lower mid-range price bracket. I know the OnePlus 3T does, but I didn't want to go quite as far as that price point. I know you're not a fan of the the company anyway, but I think you are impressed with the phone. However as I said it's just a bit further than I wanted to go and she is not a phone geek anyway but does like to take occasional pictures with it.

Any advice would be very welcome. Looking forward to hearing you on the podcasts; you're not doing them as frequently as you used to.

Many thanks,
Dave

Nexus 5X from project Fi.

It's about $240 bucks + you have to buy one month of Fi service for $20. Just don;t renew the service and since you paid for the phone you're done. It takes any SIM card, has Nougat and will get security updates for at least another year

Thanks for that help Jerry. I'll ;look in to that option. Dave
