Upgraded anout a year and a half ago to a lg g8. I sometimes miss the fluidity of moto software and and little tricks that came along with it. I loved using one button nav. A10 has made it a bit easier. Also lg revamped its software for A10 and its more manageable but still a bit curmudgeonly. Obviously it's a massive upgrade from an old budget to an at the time flagship phone and I wouldn't turn back, but there definitely are little things I miss about moto software.

Thanks for the reply.
I upgraded to the Motorola One Vision few months back but my G5 Plus is still working fine, only the battery doesn't last a full day now with normal usage.
I too like the Moto software and their little extras which are so helpful.

OnePlus 7. Very happy with it.

I used the G7+ in between that my son is using now. Great device as well.

You are into your second phone after the G5S Plus

Yes, it's an Android One phone.
I am liking it very much.
It had some issues about typing while charging the phone, as was reported by some users after launch, but by the time I bought it those issues had improved with software updates.

Yup. Bought the G7+ and used it for a little while. July last year I was in Spain and couldn't resist the temptation. Well, and my son needed a new phone after destroying my old X Play, so ...

I was so satisfied with the G5 Plus that I didn't feel like a change. I used it happily for nearly 3 yrs though it stopped getting security updates after Feb 2019.

I was choosing between Nokia 7.2 and the One Vision, but Nokia 7.2 stayed out of stock at that time. So I went for the One Vision.
My son is using the Nokia 6.1 Plus for more than a year and that's the only Nokia with Android OS I have fiddled with and I liked it.

I took and added this question into the title itself.

Thanks !
It's looking good.

I didn't include it initially because I felt it might be too long for a title

One Moto action which the One Vision doesn't have and which I had used a lot is flip for Do Not Disturb.
It has all the other Moto actions.

With the OnePlus I have all the actions I need, but I miss Moto Display. I still think that's the best system to interact with notifications on a locked phone.

OnePlus has excellent phones at good prices.
I totally agree with you about Moto Display .
Do OnePlus phones get regular monthly security updates ?
I had decided to go for Android One phones after the poor update experience with the Moto G series phones.

There are three different paths of updates.

Closed Beta, for the volunteers that want to test everything. Very frequent updates but unstable. Kind of the soak tests in Moto phones, but they run all the time not only for new Android versions.

Open Beta. Updates every month. Everyone can join and get new features and security updates before the rest. It's usually stable but bugs are expected.

Stable. Updates every other month.

It's very easy to sideload system updates in OnePlus, OOS is very open in that sense.

Thanks for the details.
That's very organised.
I would have opted for stable always on my primary phone.

Same here, I haven't changed from the stable path in more than a year. There's no need for me.
