I'm looking to upgrade from my old Samsung S4. The Moto Z Play hits many of my must-have strong points (great battery life, good screen, good performance, expandable storage, reasonable price) but I haven't seen much online comparing it with other phones in bad reception areas. Both my workplace and home have poor cell strength. 1 bar is common on my S4, and I get a lot of missed calls or calls drop when I answer. Battery life is often horrible because of the poor reception as well. There are many many dead areas on the highway between my place and work as well, which makes it impossible to have an uninterrupted conversation.
The folks in the cell stores around here either all live in the city or have near-useless opinions "The faster processors give all the new phones awesome reception dude!"
Sooo, does anybody have experience with a Z Play in fringe areas? Any travelers change to a Z Play and get fewer dropped calls or voice dropouts driving through known bad areas? Anybody get one and hate the reception?
I'm in Canada and will be using it on Bell/Telus/Virgin/Koodo towers. Currently Virgin but might switch to Telus or Koodo and I'm told they all use the Bell towers around here.
