AC Question

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy my nephews a phone each without breaking the bank, as they have exam results due soon. They aren't power users, so I thought the new Moto G4 is a good price with decent specs for what they'd need. The default version of the G4 comes with 16GB memory and 2GB ram, with a micro SD slot. I've heard that you can only run Android apps from the phone's built-in memory, is this still true?

I'm aware there may be options to load apps from memory cards, but I want to avoid any complicated procedures, easiest option would be if you could just load them off your SD card without any hassle of extra apps/special tinkering.

Thanks!
