Advice: Upgrading from Moto C. Do you recommend E20?

[Android Central Question]

Hi. I just use my Moto C for basic calls, texts, web-browsing, and WhatsApp. Nothing fancy. But running on Android 7 is starting to be a drag. Some apps I use no longer run on v7 - just v10 and above. Was thinking that the E20 would be a sensible upgrade option. Any advice from existing E20 users? Thank You.

My advice would involve an M series Samsung. Can't in good conscience recommend anyone buy a moto phone.

EDIT: actually, you may be better with one of the core devices. that's the model name.

I'd recommend a Pixel 6a, they're on sale right now for $299 US, normally $449, which is an awesome bang for the buck proposition. It would be a huge upgrade in every way, including 5 years of security updates, and 3 years of Android version updates. That's about 2 and a half times as long as a Moto phone. Plus they're very similar to a Moto phone software wise... Moto uses mostly stock Android just like the Pixel, so it would look and feel very close to your Moto.

The a series pixels are definitely good value, but the OP is asking about a 2 year old phone that was sub $100 at launch, so I'm assuming even on sale it's out of their budget.
