For almost the last three years, I have been a proud owner of a Droid RAZR M which has been a great phone. I also own a Nexus 9 which I really like having the stock android experience. I want a phone that can run the latest and greatest Android, even if that means installing a custom rom like Cyanogen. I only have a sub-$250 dollar budget (I know, it's low) and have had my eye on the Moto G. I would love to get something like the Xperia Z3 Compact, or an LG G3, but simply do not have the money. Is there some product that would reasonably fit in my price range, but have better specs that the Moto G (2nd gen)? I've had a look at the HTC Desire range and i'm a little unsure. I could also get a Nexus 5 on Swappa for $200, if buying a two year old phone would be. The country I live in, it is very difficult to get mobile phones (no Amazon, very high import taxes) so I would buy this phone in July when I visit the United States. By then, the Moto G would almost be a year old. I may also visit the States again in Christmas and wait for the next Moto G or even the next Nexus. Is it worth the wait? I feel I am ready for an upgrade, as my Razr M is stuck on a build with tonnes of bugs, high battery drain, and I also have a cracked screen that I have not been able to find a replacement for here in my country, but if there are hopes of a better Moto G in the future. The Moto G appeals to me because it seems to have significant support with the XDA community (custom ROMs, kernels), but the specs are not great. 4G isn't that important to me, as 4G is expensive here as well as bad coverage. I just don't want to buy a phone that will be obsolete in a matter of months, if not obsolete spec-wise already. Will I just have to settle because of my budget? Is there some phone I simply have not seen yet?
Much Thanks, and forgive me for my ramblings,
