Will a Moto X (2014) or LG G3 last me a year

[JustArran]

My HTC One (M7) has finally given up the ghost. I was expecting to upgrade to the S6 or M9 on a 2 year contract, but neither phone really wow me and I can't wait for the other phones to it the shelves due to my current handset verging on spouting fire!

So, I'm thinking of going with a G3 or Moto X (2014) on a single year contract and then seeing what is out and about this time next year for a flagship phone.

Simple question then, are the G3 or Moto X light years behind the latest flagships, or would I be fine with one of them for a year and won't suffer TOO much performance wise? And I guess, is the G3 a much better phone than the Moto X?

They are both still great phones.. Things to consider though.. If you want a good camera, that'll be the g3. But if you want a good software experience, that'll be the Moto X. I'm sure either one will easily last you a year, but its up to you which one you want to go that year with.

Both phones are good phones and would still be relevant past a year I would think.

Moto X would be IMO the best overall phone on the market if the camera was a little better and the battery life didn't blow. Be aware that the battery life sucks. That's the one thing that is really ruining an otherwise great phone for me.

I actually get 5 hrs plus sot with my moto. Really haven't experienced bad battery life, now the camera on the other hand is another story, its not that bad though

The fact that the battery is not removable is a big issue. I have to charge about 3 times a day. Think that battery will last 2 years? I doubt it.
