Should I or shouldn't i

I have a Z1 Force...referb so almost like new. The Z3 for 11.xx/month is very tempting for Android 9 and possible 5g...and it's a new phone for $260ish.

Should I?

I was in a similar position a few months ago and bought it direct from Motorola for $360. The biggest difference for me is the form factor and despite the smaller battery better battery life.I posted a pretty thorough review on a thread here and made some comparisons with the OG Z Force. I'm happy also to answer any questions.

The Z3 has a much smaller battery (3000) than the Z1 force (3500)

Yes it does. It also has a more efficient processor and the screen uses less power. I know this because I have both phones. Battery size isn't always everything.

heheh, didn't wait for you answers and ordered one. It's 11.67/month (280.08) (existing line, no trade) and since my Z Force is essentially new I figure if I don't like it I'll just swap the sim cards back.

I do want another year of android upgrades and may try the 5g when available.
